not everyone on reddit is dumb …but there are more stupid people in this world than people of functional intelligence. sadly this means that many people aren’t going to understand what you did there. Because they don’t understand, they’ll think you’re being an asshole and they’ll downvote you…unless….

someone like me posts something suggesting that they’d only downvote you if they are “too dumb to get it” if that happens,(which it has,) then the dumbasses of this world will 50/50 downvote you because they still dont get it, or downvote me for telling them they’re stupid, but upvote you just in case…

unless i explain that to them too…in which, that 50% of people who were just going to downvote you, well they’ll now downvote both of us.

now that i’ve explained the impact of my last sentence ,it gets trickier. i’m now attracting downvotes because “lots of words makes my head hurt”. that should save you some downvotes as i’ve exhaused their attention span. some, however, will read on then downvote us both in a “don’t tell me what to do” kind of way as if this was some sort of conspiracy… but there are the others,who will get what you did from the outset but who won’t read this clearly. They’ll upvote you because they knew you were clever, but they’ll downvote me thinking that I said that no one would understand your cleverness. whatever happens, your vote won’t get many upvotes, and that’s sad, because it was clever.
