You, you did. Fuck you.

[–]writesomethingwitty 12 points13 points ago

This. I've only seen it on Reddit when people complained about it and I've seen more of it also on Reddit when people complained about people complaining about it. Listen to ScottyPuffSr guys and stop this shit RIGHT NOW. You're the only fucks in my entire Internet feed that use that word. You, the guys complaining about it and the guys complaining about the guys complaining about it.

too many you's in one sentence

[–]asugden 50 points51 points ago

It's two sentences.

[–]Mrepic37 11 points12 points ago

The amount of yous overloaded his/her brain. Forgot to count.

[–]legend513 3 points4 points ago

Considering their username, I'm gonna assume... Her.

[–]IDangleFreely 2 points3 points ago

Would the first sentence be grammatically correct as it stands, or should it be "You. You did." Just wondering.

[–]lisabadcat 1 point2 points ago

Too yoots?

Note: Not my vid, best I could find, sorry about the special edition watermark.

[–]Chazzey_dude 0 points1 point ago

Too many apostrophes in that sentence.

[–]askur 0 points1 point ago

Those are two sentences.

[–]sporkfiend 1 point2 points ago

So wise, how 'bout we fuck?

[–]SirPrize 1 point2 points ago

This is the first time I have seen that word this month. I would have never even heard of the word had it not been for Reddit. Good job spreading something you hate guys.

[–]BitterVenkata 1 point2 points ago

That's because it's a repost from last month.

[–]DivineIntervention 2 points3 points ago

I don't understand all of these people saying, "I would have never even heard of it if it weren't for reddit." Really? Fucking everybody says YOLO or talks about some stupid bullshit celebrity pop culture crap. Do you not leave your house or listen to the radio or watch t.v. or are you just old? I've heard "YOLO" shouted by 90% of people under the age of like 30.

[–]nxuul 4 points5 points ago

I haven't heard it at all. The TV I do watch isn't related to celebrities, and I think YOLO just isn't used where I live.

[–]shooter190 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand either. I hear it every single day from where I live at. I think they are trying to make gangs off the phrase too. I find it rather queer that YOLO has never been heard by such a large amount of redditors.

[–]yonicay 3 points4 points ago

insert "redditors never go outside" quip.

[–]septimus379 0 points1 point ago

If there is a gang called 'yolo' I could probs take it down single handedly...

[–]Crazyasian93 0 points1 point ago

BLAM BLAM BLAM

[–]treybino -4 points-3 points ago

Yolo.

[–]Disamble -2 points-1 points ago

So brave!

[–]MightyMorph 72 points73 points ago

I never heard of Yolo, until i saw it here. And i would be more upset over all the "le" crap reddit does, that is seriously more stupid.

And whats so bad about yolo ? Its just an abbreviation of a saying. Something which reddit does 200x a day. Just ignore and move on...

[–]ballut 37 points38 points ago

If YOLO was invented by 4chan in a rage comic, redditors would be all over that shit like they are with "like a boss" and "Me Gusta".

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]WaffleWarrior64 2 points3 points ago

Honestly, some memes are funny. Rage comics, however, are never funny. Ever.

[–]Mustkunstn1k 2 points3 points ago

They were funny once, when people actually put an effort into them and didn't just use "rage makers" and when it was more than just people talking about how their day went.

[–]ShadowBlah 2 points3 points ago

Theres always an exception.

[–]SnipersASpai 4 points5 points ago

And "le".

[–]septimus379 -1 points0 points ago

That's bullshit! And anyway... 4chan isn't that gay...

[–]zenthor109 0 points1 point ago

well, OP is almost always a fag, sooo....

[–]1gnominious 13 points14 points ago

Same here. Only place I've ever seen YOLO is on Reddit. For a while I thought it was an Age of Empires reference when the priest is converting somebody. Like they would say YOLO while saying/doing something stupid to convince you/themselves it was a good idea. Unfortunately I finally remembered that AoE priests say "WOLOLO!" and realized everybody saying YOLO is just an idiot. Although I really wish people would start using "WOLOLO!" like that...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

In what way would it be better if people used WOLOLO instead of YOLO?

[–]mandelbratwurst 8 points9 points ago

"We only live once; let's orgasm!"

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I had never heard of yolo until this post and I've been around reddit a lot this past month - I have no idea what it is. Weird...

[–]zenthor109 1 point2 points ago

it's an abbreviation of the phrase "you only live once" which in itself isn't so bad, its just a new way of saying "carpe diem- seize the day." i think Reddit is getting mad because....well i'm not exactly sure why reddit is mad about it

[–]zenthor109 0 points1 point ago

Reddit is where is first heard of yolo. seriously none of my friends on Facebook have ever posted anything about Yolo. i guess i just don't have retarded friends

[–]Sirus2788 -1 points0 points ago

I think the problem is : 1 - People are saying YOLO instead of carpe diem 2 - Stupid people use "YOLO" as an excuse to do stupid things and post fotos of said stupid things on facebook

[–]MightyMorph 8 points9 points ago

Yeah but again people have been saying you only live once, without the abbreviation and doing stupid shit for eons. Stopping saying yolo, wont magically deter people from doing stupid shit, and so what if people don't use the latin words to describe it. The sayings mean basically the same thing.

Lastly, if people are so bothered by what other people are doing, then you aren't living your life correctly. I could give two shits about some guido or dumb bimbo doing something asinine. People will continue to do stupid shit, why? because people are fucking stupid.

Getting all uppity and bothered by something like that. Its equally idiotic in my opinion.

Like i said just ignore and move on...

[–]watt4k 0 points1 point ago

my thoughts exactly.

[–]Syreniac 0 points1 point ago

Carpe Diem does not necessarily mean the same thing as YOLO, that is a misunderstanding of the latin meaning of Carpe - it is closer in meaning to harvest the day rather than the normal translation of seize the day.

In it's original context, Horace was talking more about enjoying the little things in everyday life, rather than the big things that might happen in the future. I think you'd agree that this is very different in meaning to YOLO.

[–]zenthor109 0 points1 point ago

NEEERRRRDDD!!

[–]Syreniac 0 points1 point ago

NEEERRRRDDD!!

Classicist.

[–]zenthor109 0 points1 point ago

same thing?

[–]Jdban 0 points1 point ago

Saw a facebook friend write "YOLO" on her last college final instead of answering the last two questions... yep

[–]Apostolate 32 points33 points ago

And yet no one has ever said it.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]jeberry12 3 points4 points ago

I have. I was at work. He immediately regretted saying it and apologized, though.

[–]i_did_not_enjoy_that 36 points37 points ago

The teenager-favorite radio station in my area is running a contest all through the summer. It's called 'YOLO Summer'. ಠ_ಠ

Makes me wanna choke somebody.

EDIT: Also, why the fuck is this in black and white; this ain't Instagram. http://i.imgur.com/ejgV8.gif

[–]MegaZambam 12 points13 points ago

It's in black and white because it's been posted probably 30 times in color.

[–]ToastNYC 3 points4 points ago

Is that how it works? If you desaturate is isnt a repost? Good to know!

[–]zHellas 1 point2 points ago

It's in black & white to make it look more serious and artsy.

[–]B92JOHNSON 3 points4 points ago

"why the fuck is this in black and white; this ain't Instagram"> Perfect! I'm stealing this.

[–]boxedlogic 2 points3 points ago

I don't see how you could use this very often...

[–]B92JOHNSON 2 points3 points ago

Facebook my friend, Facebook.

[–]Minimumtyp 2 points3 points ago

Most of the time on facebook, it is Instagram.

[–]number420pencil -1 points0 points ago

It makes you wanna choke somebody? Really. A phrase that people say from time to time pisses you off? You even said it is the 'teenager favorite' radio station. There was stupid shit around when I was a teenager, but I didn't bitch and moan about it on the internet day after day.

You are worse than they are. At least they aren't judgmental pricks who walk around thinking they are better than everyone else.

[–]i_did_not_enjoy_that 0 points1 point ago

You gathered all that from a simple figure of speech? Kudos, you should be a psychologist.

Nowhere did I say it pisses me off. And I don't bitch and moan day after day, either. If you look through my Reddit history, I think you'll find this is the first time I've mentioned this.

Also, I don't think I need to point this out for everyone to see, but did you happen to catch the irony of your post before you pasted it up here for all to see?

[–]jobrohoho 15 points16 points ago

aaaaaand it's back.

[–]cannot-comprehend 1 point2 points ago

I rarely ever see yolo being used on reddit. On that note, I think I only ever see it under this gif.

[–]Belaires 5 points6 points ago

Has the population of under 18's blown up for some reason? Has everyone graduated or something? I thought that wasn't until mid June. Either way, reddit has gotten extremely obnoxious in the last week

[–]Tomuchan 7 points8 points ago

It's a phenomenon known as summertime. And websites like this one get an influx of new users... usually school-aged users.

[–]3206 0 points1 point ago

Just wait until September rolls around and they start school again. I'd wager that the rate at which the internet gets more retarded is larger in September than any other month.

[–]FThisNoise 0 points1 point ago

"Summerfags" as 4chan would put it. (No offense to the gay community of reddit)

[–]Bl00DISH 14 points15 points ago

"Reddit this past month" -Redditor since 1 month and 19 days.

[–]scamps1 7 points8 points ago

May have been a lurker for longer. Or had forgotten a password to an old account - this is my second account. I should probably get around to tying it to my email...

[–]rotll 15 points16 points ago

[–]kalibcrone 3 points4 points ago

Shouldn't the saying YOLO mean to STOP doing stupid shit because you only have 1 chance not to fucking kill yourself, yeah? The thought process of young teenagers today is damn pathetic.

[–]JordyMOOcow 1 point2 points ago

Thats just what everybody thinks, truth is, teenagers will do stupid shit regardless of the saying, which has been out for longer than anyone alive. I feel that a lot of people just like to use "YOLO" as an excuse to bash on teenagers, as if you'd really need that excuse.

[–]kalibcrone 0 points1 point ago

Lol that's all true, I was just saying that the saying itself is used in a backwards incorrect way if you actually think about it.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]JudgeWhoAllowsStuff 20 points21 points ago

So what you're saying is, OP is a faggot.

[–]SuperMse 10 points11 points ago

I'll say YOLO regardless of the consequences. I mean, YOLO, right?

[–]johnnygrant 10 points11 points ago

[–]Doovid97 2 points3 points ago

GNB? That's a real thing?

[–]Nenor 2 points3 points ago

And ironically, the only place I've heard/seen it is reddit.

[–]CCECJHEMC 4 points5 points ago

I graduated a couple of days ago and the valedictorian said YOLO multiple times in the speech...

[–]AnOwlOfSorts[S] 6 points7 points ago

My valedictorian did the same thing...

[–]bgb111 4 points5 points ago

NOW KISS.

[–]herpitusderpitus 1 point2 points ago

My valedictorian also did this and then my graduating class proceeded to yell it back to him every time he said it in the mic followed by all the people around me talking about all the molly their gonna take that night. Many YOLO's were said around me for about 3 hours. This kills the crab.

[–]lalagonegaga 1 point2 points ago

Seriously, enough with that crap, the more you talk about it, the bigger it gets. CUT. IT. OUT.

[–]NoobOnTheRun 1 point2 points ago

I actually haven't heard anyone mention YOLO for a while now, until this post.

[–]coolbeaNs92 1 point2 points ago

To be honest the only time I've seen it said in the past month is now....

[–]TicTocSick 1 point2 points ago

Hi, I'm a casual visitor to this website, less than an hour a day. In my every day life outside of reddit, I have never seen or heard YOLO. In fact the only time I have ever seen Yolo is on posts complaining about the use of YOLO. The same thing happened with that Friday music video. It's just another fad and there's no point complaining about them all, it only serves to spread the notoriety. Enjoy the rest of your day. Feel free to message me with hate mail. I don't check my inbox.

[–]King_Yeshua 0 points1 point ago

[–]Oni-Warlord 1 point2 points ago

Maybe it means "you only live once".

[–]83alx 0 points1 point ago

Well, actually, someone posts about how much they hate it... Then pretend to mock it by submitting a post titled YOLO or a comment mentioning YOLO trying to ridicule it... then they actually begin to use it.

[–]Minored 0 points1 point ago

The strokes

[–]JordyMOOcow 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I hardly ever see "YOLO" get mentioned by anyone outside of reddit, in fact, I've never come across a situation in which "YOLO" was a huge nuisance.

[–]Raneados 0 points1 point ago

Man there's a lot more people complaining about people saying YOLO than there are people saying YOLO.

[–]kore464 0 points1 point ago

I had only seen it around once or twice and I didn't even know what it meant. Just looked it up. Good thing I found out what it meant now, because, you know.... YOLO.

[–]Pg21_SubsecD_Pgrph12 0 points1 point ago

In another thread, people were upvoting the guy who came across some inspirational message on a Wall of Text site which, in essence, said to live life to the fullest. YOLO implies the same thing.

It makes me incredibly depressed to think that in 40/50 years, the only pearl of wisdom being handed down from the elderly will be YOLO.
