    Yeah, “Hot” is just short for Hot Garbage. It’s basically “New” for posts with a couple of upvotes and maybe 1 post.

    I think it’s a divide by zero thing where posts are weighted by activity divided by age. So a tiny amount of activity on a new post is weighted the same or more than an active post that’s a few hours old.

    Edit to add: Top 6 Hour seems to be where it’s at for a mix of fresh content that is also active.

    The button on the left should say “adults aged 18-35 are buying less ____ because of ethical concerns/recent health findings/changing values/rising CoL/better alternatives (pick one)” and the bottom panel should say “clickbait journalists”

    The theory I’ve heard is that people on reality TV shows would do this so the mics could pick up their conversations better. So naturally, brainless idiots without an original thought in their dense godforsaken skulls people who watch those shows started doing it in real life too because they saw popular people doing it on TV.

    It’s just a theory, but it seems plausible because it’s clearly not how phones were designed to function on speakerphone or otherwise.





  • I mean, he did write about his miscarriage in a webcomic that was just goofy pop-nerd humor up to that point, which is the entire reason it became a meme.

    If people are sending the dude loss comics on the anniversary, that’s a little fucked up because it’s being used as a personal attack. Which is 100% not the case with the typical loss meme.

    Tl;dr I don’t think the guys needs people white knighting for him every time a loss meme is born.
