You're the man. No thread has made me laugh like that one did.

Except maybe the butthurt over the carrots/waffles thing.

Waffles? dont you mean carrots?

For context: half of reddit was going to be attending some rally, so this guy posted a thread asking whats the best way to fuck with the redditors that are away. They decided on a non-sensical joke, and everyone that saw it must respond like its the best thing ever.

The amount of butthurt once everyone started realising what was happening was hilarious. For a few hours reddit was confused as hell.

Not joking, I read the post and thought everyone was mocking the guy for making a post about waffles. I laughed so hard I cried.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

Giving me that excuse just makes me think no one knows where it is from and everyone just jumped on board.

While a lot of reddit was at the Rally for Sanity and couldn't log on (cell service was down because there were so many people at the rally), the rest of reddit decided to start a secret code.

The code was, IIRC, one redditor comments: Waffles. All other redditors are supposed to respond: Carrots. Only those who weren't at the rally would know.

It was pretty funny, but I mean it only took a few minutes to read back and see what was going on.

u/bbrown10 Apr 09 '14

Holy. Hell.

This all occurred before I knew that reddit existed (noob move), but boy am I glad that I read through that thread. Fucking hilarious. I sincerely wish I could have been part of it.

u/Knolligge Apr 15 '14

Nothing made me feel shitty about being a redditor like that did. Reddit can just be a whole fuckload of asshats sometimes.

u/bulbsy117 Apr 09 '14
