Today is also an American holiday, so there won't be nearly as many people at work.

[–]thoughtcourier 12 points13 points ago

Yeah. you're gonna have to wait till 11 today.

[–]pjeff61 5 points6 points ago

Just when OP thought he had it all figured out!

[–]Linktank 4 points5 points ago

I'm still trying to figure out which time zone he's going off of, because 9 on the east coast is still 6 on the west coast, and 9 on the west coast is 12 on the east coast.

[–]NihilisticToad 0 points1 point ago

You do realise there's a whole world out there and it isn't all America?

[–]Linktank 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but the topic of conversation is what time he was going to post it... IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, so I figured what I said wasn't out of the scope of relevance.

[–]NihilisticToad 0 points1 point ago

Or OP realises that the majority of users here are from the US and therefore he/she thinks his/her best chance of getting upvotes is when Americans are awake?

[–]technoleak 5 points6 points ago

Plus, there isn't really such thing as 9 am in the US.

I'm not familiar with which time zone is the most populated, but with a little research, a person could conceivably double, or even triple their daily karma intake.

But why stop there? With further analysis into fields such as proper title and subreddit selection, as well as cuteness levels of animals cross referenced with animal poses, as well as the "cute to exotic" intrigue ratio, I'd imagine a well optimized post could garner exponentially growing amounts of karma by the minute.

In fact, I am willing to wager 1 US dollar that using mathematics and basic human psychology, I could land a post on the front page within 10 hours time.

[–]JKR93 0 points1 point ago

This is funny, because I was oddly up at 9 today when I usually sleep till 1 on my days off.

[–]TheAtomicPlayboy 21 points22 points ago

Now's the best time to post. There's less competition, and your submissions will be ready to reach the front page when everyone is waking up.

[–]SupermanV2 4 points5 points ago

YOU WOULD KNOW!

[–]HamproOne 10 points11 points ago

are you like.. the new Apostolate? I've seen you 6 times today.

[–]SupermanV2 5 points6 points ago

I'm just me.

[–]LexLuthorV2 9 points10 points ago

But I'm much more! Muahaha.

[–]corywr 4 points5 points ago

Finally, someone to stop him.

[–]Gergy 0 points1 point ago

Twist: He is Apostolate karmanaut.

[–]aldude3 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, where did you come from?

[–]SupermanV2 2 points3 points ago

Well I was born in Hollywood, CA. But when I was a baby my family moved to Australia and I was raised there.

[–]caitlinreid 0 points1 point ago

Australians downvote with malice and vigor.

[–]Sythus 6 points7 points ago

I know that feel. I work nights, so I'm normally on Reddit when it's dead. "Oh, Obama did an AMA?" Yeah, 7 hours ago.

[–]HIFW_GIFs_React_ 4 points5 points ago

[–]apoeticturtle 4 points5 points ago

PST or EST?!?!

[–]SupermanV2 8 points9 points ago

But you posted at 5am EST...

[–]jackrocks2 3 points4 points ago

why is it raining outside

[–]brodiemann 4 points5 points ago

The same reason steam is rising from the cup

[–]splice123 7 points8 points ago

Probably reposts anyway.

[–]iputbananasinmybutt 2 points3 points ago

Redditing from China, with a 12 hr time difference compared to Eastern standard time, I know the feel.

[–]chain_chomp 1 point2 points ago

Jumped the gun a little didnt ya?

[–]Barret_VII 0 points1 point ago

I love this gif, it captures that feeling so well.

[–]timechuck -1 points0 points ago

You waited all that time for this? Next time read a book or go for a walk.

[–]bearboner 0 points1 point ago

I now want coffee.

[–]Puzz1es 1 point2 points ago

I hate waiting until it's 6PM here so Americans start posting funny links.

[–]Lone_Soldier 0 points1 point ago

My god, this is beautiful.

[–]PablanoPato 1 point2 points ago

Jokes on you because it's Labor Day and we're not sitting at our desks!

[–]k3mpk3mp 0 points1 point ago

i just realised he's underwater and it's raining outside the window 0_0

[–]HolycowLooper 1 point2 points ago

I watched this for far too long waiting for something to happen.

[–]Unlikely_Cowboy 0 points1 point ago

Post aside, this is actually a really good gif. It feels like one of those frozen movie moments.

[–]DoctorMidnite[!] 1 point2 points ago

It's raining underwater.

[–]Shroom_mole 0 points1 point ago

Are you actually that bothered by karma?

[–]BaronVonBondage 0 points1 point ago

I suppose it's more about the recognition, but maybe you'd only be concerned about that if it was your original content .

[–]yummymarshmallow 0 points1 point ago

You're going to have to wait till 12P today... today is Labor Day and is a national holiday.

[–]StarFireLiz 0 points1 point ago

You should wait a little longer. Holiday weekend and all.

[–]TwilightShy 1 point2 points ago

Every time I see this picture I hear Spongebob say "I LOST SOMETHING ONCE."

[–]Krebs402 1 point2 points ago

I couldn't help but stare at spongebob for 15 seconds straight.

[–]I_live_in_a_sink 0 points1 point ago

As an American I get on Reddit at 4pm daily

[–]bubb33 0 points1 point ago

I laughed too hard at this...

[–]molokai 1 point2 points ago

US reddit users awake at 9am on a holiday? Heh!

[–]CarolineTurpentine 1 point2 points ago

Jokes on you, it's Labour Day. Everyone is still in bed.

[–]Osiris32 0 points1 point ago

I'm west coast. You posted this at 3am our time.

[–]Woodsy22 0 points1 point ago

I waited a long time because I thought something was going to happen....

[–]youregonnagetslapped 1 point2 points ago

Submited at 7:00 AM 03/09/20120

[–]AllMustSuffer -1 points0 points ago

Someone's an attention whore.

[–]Zephorian -2 points-1 points ago

Was I the only one waiting for something to happen in that GIF? WORST 4 HOURS SPENT EVER

[–]s34nsm411 -2 points-1 points ago

I never understood why this makes any difference... any time of the day you post will have just as good of a chance as getting frontpage. If there are less people on reddit it will just be slightly easier to achieve, but you will also get slightly less voting because of the lower reddit population at that time so it just evens out

[–]caitlinreid -1 points0 points ago

Different senses of humor prevail at different times of day.

Sorry in advance for blowing your mind.
