Dude, those balloons are like twelve bucks.

Balloon: $12 Karma: Priceless

[–]kiddos 235 points236 points ago

Karma:Worthless

[–]braised_diaper_shit 75 points76 points ago

So if it doesn't have worth, does it not also lack a price and is therefore priceless?

[–]kiddos 48 points49 points ago

[–]LoriLush 8 points9 points ago

I'd say that's a touche

[–]mattmc318 1 point2 points ago

[–]theshadowofdeath 1 point2 points ago

nah, you can buy all sorts of worthless junk for a price on ebay

[–]aqbodf 1 point2 points ago

[–]xcforlife 2 points3 points ago

Worthless as it has no monetary value, but people strive to get it, so it does have value of sorts.

[–]Trogathor 36 points37 points ago

Fuck that, I love karma. It shows people agree with you or that you're fucking hilarious. It helps boost confidence in your opinions knowing that your views are the same as a community you've grown to kind of respect. I have a feeling that I'm about to lose some of my own but it's definitely worth it this time.

[–]yoyomrpopo 28 points29 points ago

Most of the time it just shows you're able to pander to the hivemind by telling them exactly what they want to hear.

[–]soundhaudegen 22 points23 points ago

Upvoted. Exactly what I wanted to hear!

[–]SMOKE_ALL_THE_TREES 1 point2 points ago

i see what you did tharrr

[–]CUNTBERT_RAPINGTON 43 points44 points ago

It's getting harder to make that claim as it becomes less about wit or insightfulness and more about spamming GIFs, puns, and making usernames like these, however. Anne frankly I did nazi that coming. It's become somewhat of a circlejerk, where it was once originally a haven from all that nonsense, and I fear that someday it will become the internet's MTV.

[–]Trogathor 1 point2 points ago

I think it already is the internet's MTV. At least the default subreddits are. I do my best to stick to only using my wit (horrible as it may be) and giving out advice I've gained from my own experiences. I see karma as a personal accomplishment, because I know I didn't earn it from spamming hivemind nonsense (At least most of the time. And yes, I'm sure you can probably find an example of me doing so).

If someone sees karma as an achievement then I say let them. Some people might not see the value in it, but that doesn't mean it doesnt exist.

[–]mrstinton 3 points4 points ago

The degradation of Reddit General will continue unabated; there is some official term for this correlation of popularity and quality decay but it escapes me. Luckily we can continue to fall back to the lesser populated subreddits that preserve the havens of old, but whether this will hold up for years remains to be seen. I recoil in disgust am weirded out when I see the default frontpage un-logged-in. At least f7u12 isn't on there anymore.

[–]DownvoteALot 2 points3 points ago

Not for us people who like karma. I almost don't use GIFs, never participate in pun threads, don't exploit my username, almost never mentions memes and posted twice on circlejerk.

It comes down to my performance in presenting arguments, be it on r/Games, r/programming or r/worldnews. It helps me learn to formulate my ideas through trial and error. It's like a test in Philosophy every day.

Reddit will never become the Internet's MTV because here, you get to pick what you want.

[–]SlutBuster 6 points7 points ago

A well-formulated argument doesn't hold a candle to pun threads and/or cat photos.

My fiancé just finished a debate class, and her final assignment was to argue that "when it comes to military intelligence, the ends justify the means."

I helped her spin it by immediately dismissing intelligence gathered using torture as inherently unreliable, which completely neutralized her debate partner's argument, and she won the debate. But there are certain philosophies that reddit will never get behind, regardless of the strength of the argument. Had the debate been judged by upvotes, rather than in an academic setting, she would have lost miserably.

I like your outlook, but on reddit, witty replies always trump logic.

[–]skakruk 0 points1 point ago

You shouldn't care about Karma on r/worldnews, it's the worst subreddit to think of karma as an indicator of well thoughtness or justice. Try saying that Israel is a criminal state there and see how you get downvoted into oblivion or insulted by zionists coming back with bullshit arguments demonizing palestinians and talking about anti-semitism, and getting upvoted.

That's why I don't comment on r/worldnews. I don't even read comments there unless it's a post evidently showing Israel's real face (in these ones people get so mad at them that they downvote the ridiculous anti-semitism card excuse.)

[–]Hermeran 0 points1 point ago

Whatever. Upvote for Seth and Amy.

[–]Confused_Spider 0 points1 point ago

God tier post. I'm going to compress my 30 GB folder of gifs that express approval, burn it on several DVDs, and mail it to your house.

Why are people upvoting this man? He clearly doesn't want that.

[–]holycheddar 22 points23 points ago

You didn't buy the balloon though. This is a gif from a long-ass time ago.

http://karmadecay.com/i.imgur.com/mCR2F.gif

Also, you didn't even come up with your own title http://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/k161w/you_float_on_a_throne_of_lies/

[–]spartangrl0426 5 points6 points ago

I have a pretty strong hunch that Op didn't come up with it on his own. They JUST showed this clip in a new episode of ridiculousness on mtv..

[–]Cntrl_frk 1 point2 points ago

Bring on the downvotes. Today I'll be downvoting for blatant asshattery and copious biting. You?

[–]Delreys 0 points1 point ago

[–]laddergoat89 1 point2 points ago

Look at his post history, 22,000 points of reposted cat gifs.

[–]Epithemus 6 points7 points ago

Causing others enjoyment: Priceless.

Karma is somewhat of an indicator of that.

[–]braised_diaper_shit 5 points6 points ago

Yeah but your caption is pure win. Nice work.

EDIT: You stole the fucking caption too? Fuck you.

[–]billyzero 3 points4 points ago

Worth the karma.

[–]KoreanTerran 1 point2 points ago

I remember a post about this guy buying upvotes for 6 cents each. 12 dollars divided by 6 cents = 200 upvotes.

Right now, this post isn't worth the karma.

[–]damontoo 1 point2 points ago

Well now this post is worth almost 7.5 balloons!

Edit: Also, the video is monetized and has 2.2m views. That's minimum $2200. Not bad.

[–]Remnants 0 points1 point ago

[–]Kerfuffly 0 points1 point ago

TWELVE BUCKS!!!??! Maaan, they cost about 2.7 bucks here. (middle east)

[–]WeAllWin 0 points1 point ago

You can fix them. Plus the psyche of the cat. :D

I'm sorry, High-Speed Shots have to be done with High-Speed Cameras. But of course you can watch it frame by frame, but it won't be much frames.

EDIT: Damn, reddit, did you not get that this was also a reference to the same episode of Sealab? Or do you just not like Stormy?

And he got nearly twice the karma.

The rules of real-life karma do not apply in Reddit or this would burn in the downvoted pile.

[–]lm1412 1 point2 points ago

I knew it was familiar! Still a funny title though.

[–]PepeAndMrDuck -4 points-3 points ago

seriously. downvoted.

[–]stevenwalters 5 points6 points ago

Did it pop it, or just slam it to the ground? I get emotionally attached to balloons, even pictures of them. My dad had an Air Swimmers fish, and it got a hole in it, it made me really really sad for several days.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who felt bad. Seriously, seeing that ballon deflate a little just bummed me out.

[–]King-of-Spades42 7 points8 points ago

there is something profoundly Lacanian in all of this.

[–]whatev3691 7 points8 points ago

By seeing another that looks like him but is clearly not him, Mr. Tubby recognizes that he is a unique, discontinuous being and as such lashes out against this pseudo-mirror image of himself. That's my Half-Assed Intellectual Bullshit for the night

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

More like eighth-assed. That was terrible. You didn't even mention the cat's Oedipus complex, or how it was likely raised from a kitten with no father, thereby preventing it from being inaugurated into the symbolic order via Name-of-the-Father, which is so critical to ensure sanity. 0/10 would not read again.

I sat here staring at this blankly for 3 minutes before realizing how amusing it was, I then began to laugh uncontrollably and now people are giving me looks. I'm writing this comment while I wait for the awkward tension to clear.

[–]twinbee 2 points3 points ago

It'd be great if the balloon reinflated (from a balloon inside that somehow detected the first has burst) as the cat went over to sniff it.

A third balloon inside that would be great also - the IMMORTAL CAT BALLOON.

[–]omenmedia 2 points3 points ago

No wonder it did that, to the cat the balloon probably was the equivalent of this for a person.

[–]The_Dacca 2 points3 points ago

Any one else hear the balloon pop?

[–]jakemg 2 points3 points ago

My upvote went less for the gif (it was okay) and more for the title making it much, much funnier.

[–]sincericide 2 points3 points ago

If I were that cat, I would feel like such a bad-ass for the rest of my life. I would tell the story to every other cat I met. "Hey, Whiskers, you ever hit another cat so hard, he deflated??"

For some reason I was expecting somebody to post a video on reddit after ridiculousness, but he posted the wrong one. He should have posted the one with the cat fondling himself. That was HILARIOUS

[–]jackass150 1 point2 points ago

Dude, the way the cat attacks that balloon is fucking hilarious. It just happens so fast and he pulverizes that ballon. You can see the cat lean back for a split second and then just fucking unleash the fury just by shifting all it's fatass weight forward and down. You can even see its hind legs hovering while running on air. That cat understands it's own ability for devestaion.

At least change the fucking title.

And I'll say this: I have no problem with reposts, as long as they aren't currently on the frontpage, and as long as the OP doesn't act like they produced the material.

But for fucks sake, at least come up with your own title.
