    This

    I mean, how does replying 'this' help drive any conversation?

    to be clear, by this I mean the annoying comment reply chains repeating the same shit sentence.

    It boosts the comment because of the algorithm. I don't know if people do it knowingly when commenting "this" or "underrated comment" but it does have an effect.

    Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol

    But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I'm with you :)

    Really? I would swear I remember watching that start on Reddit...

    The “well it looks like we were able to recover $100,000 from the crime scene” >> “Sure glad we were able to recover $80,000” >> “Looks like we found $20,000”, etc…. on seemingly every thread involving money was pretty insufferable.

    I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don't really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.

    Sadly, I think you have significantly overestimated those who do that, as having a "reason" in mind beyond simply having a desire to just blurt it out, which is immediately followed by blurting it out.

    The only reason I tried to get karma on the old site was cause I wanted to post a meme on r/memes but they had a bot that would remove your post if your account karma was too low. I never got enough karma to post a meme. I think it was added to stop bots from posting memes, but it was so annoying and I really hope that doesn’t appear here.

    Maybe I am lucky. What is DEA?

    DAE is "does anyone else."

    Examples:

    "DAE get sleepy when it rains?"

    "DAE throw up after drinking a handle of vodka?"

    "DAE get a little turned on when TSA asks you to follow them into a private room?"

    One of these things is not like the other

    "does anyone else". Usually paired with very generic stuff like DAE like to eat their food one item at a time at dinner
