I got 3 once...

[–]HappyDays7 6 points7 points ago

I got, like. Four hundred on a single thing, once. God bless Dr. Doom.

[–]bitch_im_a_lion 1 point2 points ago

Most successful post has over 900 I think. On r/pokemon. That was a good day.

[–]Britredditor -3 points-2 points ago

I got, like. Eight hundred on a single thing, once. God bless Schrute.

[–]Aseconverse 0 points1 point ago

Now you have 13.

[–]Rufdog2 11 points12 points ago

This isn't link karma. :(

[–]Aseconverse 9 points10 points ago

Shit...I need sleep.

[–]xChaoZ -5 points-4 points ago

I once got about 600 for one comment. Made my week.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself -1 points0 points ago

It's weird isn't it. I know it means absolutely fuck all but it makes me happy too.

[–]Kabakov -4 points-3 points ago

I once timed a pretty shitty link perfectly with a low activity day on reddit. Got 1000+ karma and front page, I was god.

[–]NotaMethAddict 35 points36 points ago

If you look very closely you can see that this is not an actual tombstone engraving.

[–]lpj5001 12 points13 points ago

Redditor for 18 days and almost 50000 comment karma.

[–]buster2Xk 12 points13 points ago

It's probably andrewsmith on a new account. Again.

[–]RageMorePlz 7 points8 points ago

Or karmanaut/trapped_in_reddit

[–]buster2Xk 3 points4 points ago

TIR is andrewsmith.

[–]sarcasm_rocks 0 points1 point ago

I'm andrewsmith!

[–]Mister_AA 2 points3 points ago

He's Squidward, you're Squirdward, I'M SQUIDWARD!

[–]iRower 10 points11 points ago

I had a friend named John Smith. He was very hairy and wore a guille suit once

[–]Naoki901 4 points5 points ago

That explains how he got all that karma.

[–]MedicalMechanica 0 points1 point ago

....John Price, you mean?

[–]Japanese-emoticon -2 points-1 points ago

(。-_-。)

[–]Johnzsmith 12 points13 points ago

That is a lie. I do not have that kind of link karma. Also, I am still alive.

[–]HappyDays7 3 points4 points ago

Clearly it's from the future.

[–]Lord_Purple_ 0 points1 point ago

[–]Herdinthehalls 0 points1 point ago

TO THE TARDIS

[–]DJRD4465 4 points5 points ago

[–]Meebert 6 points7 points ago

I want the sum of my karma added up and accounted for at my funeral, maybe then all my friends and family will respect all the times I called out reposts.

[–]Agehn 0 points1 point ago

You've done that once.

[–]JollySpace 5 points6 points ago

He probably cheated by using time travel.

[–]LastRedCoat 4 points5 points ago

If we assume 'at once' means 'in one post', then we have to consider that only 112 links have ever broken 4,000 karma. However, 23 of those links were self posts which receive no Karma and 5 were Reddit administrator posts that don't really count either. To be one of only 84 of something is fairly unique.

Not that any of that means John Smith should be proud that submitting something to a website is his life's greatest legacy, but he definitely made something that had a pretty big impact, or was in the right place at the right time when some big news story or video was published.

[–]warr2015 4 points5 points ago

I think comment karma has a lot more significance to it than link karma. Simply because in most cases, what you say is who you are, and what you submit is like what you think other people will like with you. So it's kinda like the difference between someone liking who you are or the clothes you wear, respectively.

[–]HonziPonzi[S] 1 point2 points ago

wat?

[–]DoWhile 26 points27 points ago

To put it in perspective:

Number of people who have been to space: 520+

Number of people who got 4000 link karma in a single post: 84

Fucks given about the second group: 0

[–]Tomble 2 points3 points ago

And where was our parade?

[–]ch2008 0 points1 point ago

I think the karma is in essence, the parade.

[–]OgodHOWdisGEThere -1 points0 points ago

best of right there.

[–]quink 2 points3 points ago

One day there'll be a karma store and I'll be laughing all the way to the bank. One glorious day, plebs.

[–]ZuFFuLuZ 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, totally. Everybody knows that comment karma is where it's at! Nobody cares about link karma. Amateur.

[–]votercolonel 0 points1 point ago

It's not about link karma man...

[–]fiftyacorns 0 points1 point ago

I liked the AskReddit yesterday from a 6 year reddit veteran with a karma of 50-60

[–]lunarmodule 0 points1 point ago

RIP, HonziPonzi.

[–]monom90 0 points1 point ago

Only 4000? Psssshhhh.

[–]lemur84 0 points1 point ago

I have 4009 link karma, and am therefore nine better than John Smith.

This is literally the best news I've had all day!

[–]Mister_AA 0 points1 point ago

Nice try, John Smith.

[–]Tabun 0 points1 point ago

So what we are getting at here, is that Link Karma is SUPER IMPORTANT AND WILL MAKE MY LIFE AMAZING!!!! Right?!?!?! that's what i'm going with.

[–]herpty_derpty 0 points1 point ago

Just 4,000?

Does that mean I'm getting a better tombstone?

[–]HonziPonzi[S] 0 points1 point ago

hah! front page (on AB). how ironic

[–]beachboy182 0 points1 point ago

He was a god among men.

[–]Redcard911 0 points1 point ago

The 4000s club is reserved for those who snipe crazy events like 9/11 or America Legalizes Gay Marijuana.

[–]DocShadeball420 0 points1 point ago

I don't even acknowledge Reddit Karma, because it's not real and means nothing.

[–]spankr 0 points1 point ago

Sure surrre... ಠ_ಠ

[–]ReCommenter 0 points1 point ago

[–]ReCommenter 0 points1 point ago

"This, this will be my legacy..."

Honestly - I was thinking about things that really don't matter. Like "Was a really good worker", or "Never used his sick time"...

I think the only thing I really would like to have someone put on my grave marker would be something like "Really loved his kids".

[–]Superjoe42 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of a Life In Hell strip by Matt Groening. He did a whole series of those.

[–]abraxsis 0 points1 point ago

He also got it on with Pocahantas.

[–]The_fonz33 0 points1 point ago

Bitches please, I have 3 on a comment.

[–]Earth_bound_misfit 0 points1 point ago

I chortled!

[–]Gentlesnipes -1 points0 points ago

What is link Karma?

[–]IdahoSucks -2 points-1 points ago

what a lucky, lucky man.

[–]HundredBuckBill -2 points-1 points ago

For some odd reason, this makes me laugh far too much.

[–]sebzim4500 -2 points-1 points ago

This is probably a good time to mention that I just passed 10k comment karma. Just sayin'.

[–]patefoisgras 0 points1 point ago

You shall not pass.

[–]YouListening -4 points-3 points ago

4000?! I've only got a quarter of that!

[–]Satans_pro_tips 1 point2 points ago

A quarter will buy you more than 4000 link karma will.
