reddit

A user based article submission site populated mainly by former/current users of Digg, 4chan and other user-based social media groups. The content is almost identical but there is a general hipster mentality that Reddit is the coolest of the three and, therefore, the tone of much of the site is very snarky and ego-driven.

Submissions and comments can be voted up or down the page in order of relevance, but this function is used almost solely for the purpose of promoting the opinions that represent the majority view, or simply the most smartass remark.

The Reddit Effect

A state of mind in which content from a relatively short time of origin in the real world, causes the afflicted to believe that the event occurred long before the origin.

This affliction is due to the fact that daily Reddit users are accustomed to constant and updated information. Therefore, if an event occurred a few days ago, it causes the Reddit user to feel that the event happened much longer ago.

This causes the Reddit user to feel that events and or stories occurred in a longer period of time than in reality. Some severe cases can cause a frequent Reddit user to be violent verbally or physically. The best solution is to end the topic or to leave the afflicted alone. There is no cure to this phenomenon although modern medicine is working towards a cure.

A: Hey did you see that post of "x"?
B: Yeah I saw that like two weeks ago.
A: Two weeks ago? Man that feels like forever ago. That is still a relevant topic?
B: Yes. This is the curse of Reddit. The Reddit Effect.

reddit hug of death

A cutesy phrase that vapid Reddit users like to incessantly comment when a website which has been linked on Reddit.com goes down due to the recent influx of heavy traffic.

User #1: Why is this link not working for me?
User #2: must be the reddit hug of death <3

above Reddit's paygrade

Term used on advice subreddits to indicate that the OP's issue is something that Reddit is wholly unsuited for resolution of and that should really be referred to a lawyer or a therapist.

"The trauma caused by you walking in on your wife getting throat-fucked by a circus clown is really above Reddit's paygrade. You should see a therapist."
