    I was going to downvote this, but then I realised that would be admitting you won.

    I’ll have to write an angry comment instead

    erm

    here goes

    You’re a stupid libtankietard who votes for chairman musk and all your opinions are based on Facebook and the UN. You probably believe the moon is round. You can’t even wear your Arch Socks on the right feet. We should defederate.

    Phew I think I won now. I forgot what we were arguing about?

    I remember when the queen came round to congratulate me on my upvote score, and it added £1000 to my bank account and everyone went around saying “look there they are, wow”. But it was all ruined the day the Fire nation attacked.

        Well the way i navigate thru conversations I’m having currently brings me to my history since i’m usually having more than one at a time an i need to know who’s replying to what. When one of those is an argument, noticing a bunch of single downvotes while passing thru my history causes air to erupt from my nose because it proves to me that someone I’ve got beef with is definitely malding.

        The points don’t matter but the impotent effort they put in does, get me? It feels as close to a win as you’ll ever get on the 'net

    You’re really gonna let the world make you care about grumpy little arrow clicks? It diminishes us to even think about it. Each person is a being of pure chaos at the infinite center of creation. You are cosmic, made of stardust and in ways beyond words profound.

    Besides, there’s no user karma on this site.

      It’s not that i care. It’s just weird randomly seeing a lot of my benign comments at 0 upvotes. I can only then wonder how petty one must be to take their time to go through the effort

        Really depends on what they use and how far back they went on you

        Like I’ve said elsewhere I do this to people posting insane or false bullshit that are clearly spamming it, if you’re taking a shit or whatever and on Voyager you can click someone’s name and swipe slightly to downvote, can get through over a hundred comments in one shit if you don’t pay any attention to the content and just swipe, I bet

            The dance of

            Accidental downvote

            Ok, half swipe to remove it

            No, now it’s an upvote, and I don’t really like the comment that much

            Half swipe to remove it

            … It’s a downvote again, presses button, leaves via home screen

    lmao, it’s always so obvious when it happens. If they just downvoted my political opinions, it’d be whatever, but when they downvote things like providing sources and explanations for anodyne posts? Just tells me I can mentally subtract 1 downvote from all my recent comments.

    Everyone’s in here talking about downvotes… I read this meme and thought “You seriously get into arguments on the internet?” The most I’ll do is leave a comment telling someone they’re full of it and then ignore the rest. Since the comment is more for the silent masses reading than the person I’m replying to. Hey, kinda like this comment. OP probably will spend their days in smug misery but I hope the rest of yall can step away from this petty bullshit some time.

        Domino’s isn’t very hit or miss depending on which one you go to, most are cardboard, some are good.

        Little Ceasars is very consistently mediocre no matter where you go, and mediocre pizza is still pizza at the end of the day.

          Importantly, Little Caesar’s is also priced like it’s mediocre. You’re also in and out super quick if you just want a basic pizza from their menu with no alterations.

          They’re good at what they do, and that’s basic, cheap, fast pizza.

            Entirely true! Mediocre pizza for cheap is their M.O., and they execute it very well.

            “Pizza! Pizza!” is their slogan because they effectively have their pizzas half the price of their competitors. Yeah, quality suffers, but they work with what they got very well, and frankly, not many chains double the price and then have a pizza twice as good as Little Ceasars

        Somehow it’s both cheaper and better, at least in my area, but the bar is low because my local Domino’s is awful.

    Or to more precisely put it, Lemmy accumulates up/down votes to their actual worth.
