To confirm the use of “worldwide” is correct, you must say your coordinates (longitude and latitude) if you enjoyed this comment

Abraham never said it, I was first and he stole it from me!
So he said it, he just wasn’t the first to do so. Important difference
Well, ok, if you say so.
Snopes is a good place to start, though.
At least the upvotes here are real and not fuzzed like reddit.
It was so annoying to be in a small thread without a lot of active people and having your votes swing wildly back and forth anywhere between 2 and 10.
3 upvotes here feels like early reddit, I know for sure at least three people don’t think I’m the biggest idiot alive, and they might even feel sorry for me for how much of an idiot I still am.
The voting here still feels real and less deeply influenced by outside actors.
I remember when they added the fuzzing algorithm and front page posts went from being ones with ~3.5k upvotes to becoming ones with 380k upvotes. I think everyone at the time thought it was stupid and weird and then it never went away.
It was stupid and weird because it was obviously a way to juice the fucking metrics of the site to make it seem way more active than it actually was.
Tech companies like reddit, Facebook, Xitter, and so on do this worthless shit all the time. Facebook was fined a paltry amount for faking their numbers for the 2015 pivot-to-video that killed multiple publishing houses.
I’m ONE fat dude, you insensitive prick.
Well mine are enjoyed by at least four >:3
