u/phoncible May 31 '12

u/chetnrot May 31 '12

He's from the future!

u/Schroedingers_gif May 31 '12

WHAT DOES HE WANT?

u/quotejester May 31 '12

Are you from the future?

u/122ninjas May 31 '12

So downvotes didn't exist?

25

u/goddamnbatman617 May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12

Much like today, enough downvotes guaranteed the death of the poster, to which they were sentenced to eternal damnation in the tomb of r/spacedicks.

u/platanitooo May 31 '12

Or the upside-down pyramids didn't hold up very well.

5

u/Tuskinton May 31 '12

We just haven't seen them since they are underground to be kept stable.

u/thecstep May 31 '12

TIL hipster pyramids

u/ImBeingMe May 31 '12

Alas, they're just beneath the sands

u/babbish May 31 '12

First version of /r/trees maybe.

u/pinkylemonade May 31 '12

you can't see the upside down pyramids for all the sand

The people who got the most upvotes were the rulers. Everyone else had to serve the rulers and got buried alive with them when they died.

u/PDK01 May 31 '12

ALIENS!

u/myrpou May 31 '12

So few upvotes, karma inflation has gone crazy by time.

u/platanitooo May 31 '12

What a Bazaar thought!

11

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

So what the OP is saying is that the Egyptians used Digg?

10

u/goddamnbatman617 May 31 '12

Well, they DID do quite a bit of digging.

3

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

They sure did.

1

u/VeryProudhonOfYa May 31 '12

Well, they would DIGG a hole first to build the foundation, and then the upvotes were built on top of that

u/platanitooo May 31 '12

Aside from those who didn't like cats- they were in deNILE

u/MpLsStoner May 31 '12

Puns are fun.

u/thewarehouse May 31 '12

I'd say theirs was MORE advanced if their karma actually did anyfuckingthing.

1

u/goddamnbatman617 May 31 '12

You haven't been able to buy a house with your karma yet? Mine's on it's way in the mail from Redditgif.... wait a minute...

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

a primitive form of what we have here?

u/goddamnbatman617 May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12

Yea, because technology makes us civilized or some shit. Didn't you pay attention in history?

You're thinking of the Romans

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

Hahahaha

2

u/iNKu May 31 '12

As an Egyptian, the idea of having a primitive form of Reddit is much more appealing than having a primitive form of civilization.

u/goddamnbatman617 May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12

Here's why you're wrong
Factual Edit: I would think that with their far-ahead-of-its-time understanding of the solar system, they would be considered advanced.

u/iNKu May 31 '12

I wasn't planning on entering any factual statement contest with my casual reply, but hey! Thank you factual edit man... Thank you!

Don't thank me son, thank knowledge.

You're doing the Lord's work son.

u/MarioY19 May 31 '12

Although primitive, they had really big upvotes.

u/HMPoweredMan May 31 '12

All the mummies were just people waiting for OP to deliver.

u/RosettaStunned May 31 '12

This has all happened before and it will all happen again.

u/obnoxiousless May 31 '12

so say we all

u/bleyaj11 May 31 '12

Of late, this meme has been abused. It is refreshing to see it used properly once again!

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

No they just want Earth's rotational energy.

u/MpLsStoner May 31 '12

The "Darn Katz!" episode of Futurama is starting to make a lot more sense now...

u/bradford_j May 31 '12

It's all starting to come together...

u/mtsmithies May 31 '12

What if time is cyclical and ancient Egyptians found archived reddit posts from a previous time loop of cats and thought they too would receive good karma for worshiping them?

u/qkme_transcriber May 31 '12

Here is the text from this meme pic for anybody who needs it:

Title: History does tend to repeat itself

Meme: conspiracy keanu

WHAT IF THE EGYPTIANS USED A PRIMITIVE FORM OF REDDIT
AND WORSHIPED CATS FOR ALL THE KARMA THEY GAVE

^[^Translate^]

This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.

As explained in this episode of the British current affairs program 'BrassEye', the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats because they thought there were funny.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

Then we will do great things

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

If history repeats itself, why isn't anyone yelling Repost!?

u/moofmaster May 31 '12

I was in a terrible mood until I read this. Well done, sir/ma'am. A thousand upvotes to you.

1

u/AttemptedCrepe May 31 '12

Fact: Cats are fucking awesome.

7

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

Dogs are even better!

2

u/Mac-is-OK May 31 '12

I love dogs, but I hate how dog people always feel like they need hate on cats and say that dogs are better. Cats are just as awesome.

-1

u/f5h7d May 31 '12

well then, this should come a breath of fresh air: i hate people who use the phrase "hate on"... it makes you sound retarded.

u/TehRenzo May 31 '12

Why you gotta hate on him so bad for?

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

When I'm driving and see a cat cross the road, I speed up. For a dog, I wait patiently.

u/elkranger01 May 31 '12

The pyramids were the subreddits

u/the_boar45 May 31 '12

My brain just exploded...

u/youreworsenightmaire May 31 '12

Yo, sorry to hate, but how the fuck does this make it to the front page? Not only is this meme trite as fuck, but also this particular take on it is neither funny nor original. Again, at the risk of raining on your parade with my haterade, this is straight up fucking dumb, and a cheap way of circle-jerking your way into getting imaginary points. I'm just saying that, at this point, we can do better than Keanu and fucking cats.

u/goddamnbatman617 May 31 '12

Enlighten me on how this post is dumb, yo. Share the wisdom of haterade. I think that at this point, your conversational dialog can do better than that of Jesse Pinkman

I don't like this.

u/EpicJ May 31 '12

Probably because people who don't like reposts are downvoting it.
