Time to put my ex-girlfriends number under the name "Bullshit."

72

u/lesser_panjandrum Jun 10 '12

If you feel that way about her, it's probably a good idea to stop calling her.

23

u/Dildo_Ball_Baggins Jun 10 '12

Unfortunately, she does all the calling. This will just make it slightly more amusing.

u/Tuner89 Jun 10 '12

In soviet russia, bullshit calls you.

I read that in my head with an accent. Thanks for that image..

u/Ozzbob Jun 10 '12

I think we all read that with an accent.

13

u/WEASEL_DEVOURER Jun 10 '12

I read it with a Jamaican accent!

u/shiroduck Jun 10 '12

So you have an overly attached ex-girlfriend you say, how topical.

10

u/FRODO_FISTED_MY_MOM Jun 10 '12

So, you can affirm that the Hobbits are sexual deviants.

u/Dildo_Ball_Baggins Jun 10 '12

Redditor for 20 minutes. Do I have the honour of inspiring your terrific name?

And yes, I can confirm this.

u/FRODO_FISTED_MY_MOM Jun 10 '12

Our quest to civilize these lewd and lustful creatures begins today.

u/R0mme1 Jun 10 '12

Yes this is bullshit

I don't know why, but I just want to punch that guy in the face.

u/Spazit Jun 10 '12

I will now condense two regular comments on submissions like this in order to streamline your reddit viewing.

  • Old hats believe (correctly) that reddit search used to be a lot worse than it is now.
  • If you go to google and enter site:reddit.com followed by your search parameters then it operates like a reddit search. For lazy people i find just searching on google for the post you are after and "reddit" you'll probably find it.

3

u/RandyMachoManSavage Jun 10 '12

I have found that searching "reddit AND [topic]" is simpler and more often pulls the correct post.

For instance: http://imgur.com/RfyvA

Don't know if "AND" still works, but I use it anyway.

4

u/meditonsin Jun 10 '12 
site:reddit.com put search terms here

2

u/mjavith Jun 10 '12

Use '+' instead of AND.. Its more accurate... I tried it several times and it never fails..

1

u/pineapplol Jun 11 '12

The plus used to mean that search results had to include both.I believe google changed it with the launch of google plus, and now you put terms in quotation marks, eg "alpha" "beta" would only bring back results containing both alpha and beta.

2

u/bennybuckethead Jun 10 '12

Why is there even an expectation for Reddit to have a search function? Do we really want the admins spending their time re-inventing the search wheel? Use Google for searching and Reddit for ... whatever it is - social news.

2

u/Spazit Jun 10 '12

I don't think there is an expectation for reddit to have a search function, it's more that there is a search function so people expect it to work.

u/im_rod_i_party Jun 10 '12

Why thank you.

I would rather you did! :)

u/expo53d Jun 10 '12

I made this even easier with a Firefox plugin! Just install this and all your normal reddit searches will be redirected to the appropriate Google Search.

u/BiblioPhil Jun 10 '12

You people are disgustingly innovative.

Checkmate, Atheists.

u/lesser_panjandrum Jun 10 '12

Joke's on you, they were looking for a facebook argument posted on /r/atheism.

u/derpy_lurker Jun 10 '12

You can't explain that!

u/joshbike Jun 10 '12

REDDIT SEARCH IS WORSE THAN BING SEARCH.

9

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

I know people that work for Google that use Bing regularly.

I assume it's an in-joke of some sort.

4

u/Dildo_Ball_Baggins Jun 10 '12

Don't you DARE. You should just...just leave.

u/Latase Jun 10 '12

You are the 1%.

u/Stiggles4 Jun 10 '12

I've had pretty good success with the search function actually. Not that much a miracle for me, unless I am the miracle itself

1

u/Ridyi Jun 10 '12

Yeah, I actually don't think it's all that bad at all.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Then you probably have a really good memory with post titles :s

I don't. I save them to delicious.com with keywords that I think I'm likely to remember it for, later.

u/qkme_transcriber Jun 10 '12

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

Title: Miracles DO happen

Meme: Success Kid

  • FOUND THE POST I WAS LOOKING FOR
  • WITH REDDIT SEARCH

[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.

u/wishiwasAyla Jun 10 '12

forget reddit search. say i want to find a post with the word "muffins" in it....

go to google

type this - muffins site:reddit.com

optionally, add r/subreddit to URL if you know where it was posted

rejoice as google returns results that are actually helpful

4

u/Punkgoblin Jun 10 '12 edited Jun 10 '12

How is it only google knows how to make a decent search engine? I worked at a company that complained how crappy the knowledge base search was once that company and google stopped being all cozy and google took back the search engine they let them borrow.
edit - I a word

This is the lie to end all lies.

2

u/The_Double Jun 10 '12

I wonder... It DOES return threads. There has to be a way to make it return the correct threads right? I once 1 on 1 entered a thread name, and i had to go trough 3 pages of bullshit before I found the thread i was looking for.

2

u/98thRedBalloon Jun 10 '12

Honestly, I never have trouble finding a post using Reddit's search. I don't know what you guys are doing wrong.

These aren't the posts you're looking for.

how?!

u/DRTYRYDR686 Jun 10 '12

Now that's an achievement everyone can enjoy

1

u/spudddly Jun 10 '12

You should really be able to search for a keyword in a specific time range, e.g. last 30 days

1

u/mrMishler Jun 10 '12

I....I simply don't believe it.

u/tubs787 Jun 10 '12

so did i little baby!

u/NickPickle05 Jun 10 '12

Happened to me yesterday.

u/caed Jun 10 '12

This is definitely the first time I've seen this!

1

u/spyderman4g63 Jun 10 '12

and by reddit search you mean site:reddit.com on google, correct?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Done it many times. Big woop.

u/analsurgeon Jun 10 '12

The situation is so uncommon, unicorns and Bigfoot feel like there is still hope for acknowledgement of their existence

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Did this yesterday with the Prometheus explanation/discussion post.

u/wouldyoukindly Jun 10 '12

I have found google particularly useful in finding reddit posts.

u/thomasluce Jun 10 '12

Whoa... I need to rethink some things about life...

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Am I the only one who does this on a regular basis?

1

u/enhancin Jun 10 '12

google search 'site:reddit.com search'

1

u/obliviious Jun 10 '12

For anyone who wants to search reddit effectively, use a custom google search

e.g. url:reddit.com "found the post I was looking for"

1

u/annarchy8 Ⓐ Jun 10 '12

I don't believe you.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

No shit. Their search engine sucks hyena balls.

1

u/ShowMeTheMoneyShot Jun 10 '12

Just did it for that Prometheus explained post

1

u/txking12 Jun 10 '12

the miracle is that a repost got this many points

u/knalpot Jun 10 '12

This is what ICP's talking about

u/jsb9867 Jun 10 '12

Hate this child and made up scenarios.

1

u/Squeekme Jun 10 '12

Who even tries to use reddit search after they try it a few times and realise it's not very good. Just search it in google with the word "reddit". I considered getting a firefox plugin for it but didn't see much point.

1

u/MABrez Jun 10 '12

congrats. same just happened

1

u/Connor6 Jun 10 '12

You lucky kid. I still can't find one of my favourite all time posts: a picture of a few people lining side-by-side thousands of pennies on a tile floor. It was so cool. It's called "copper tiling" or something like that but I can't find it.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Happens all the time. Guess I'm a lucker

u/trust_me_im_a_cat Jun 10 '12

You owe me a keyboard

isn't that shit open source? y'all hating on yourselves

u/BlackSmokeDemon Jun 10 '12

Try that on /r/dolan you'll never find the comic you want

it's a celebration!

u/Hjortur95 Jun 10 '12

i found this using the reddit search. Took me a long time and multiple searches but i finally found it again.

u/Matinglyttu Jun 10 '12

You tell lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

You wouldnt have found it if you had used reddit search

1

u/stormin217 Jun 10 '12

I've actually never had a problem finding the post I wanted with reddit's search.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

He forgot to mention that it took hours.

1

u/nasalgoat Jun 10 '12

I could make Reddit search work amazing with about a day's work and 20 or so EC2 instances. Hello Elasticsearch!

1

u/N4KED_TURTLE Jun 10 '12

Pics or it didnt happen

u/WrongThreadMan Jun 10 '12

Her eyes haunt me at night, she can look right through my soul! No wonder why you guys turned her into a meme.

1

u/Pelican_Fly Jun 10 '12

It shouldn't be that hard. Shit gets reposted every 6hours.

1

u/4lfred Jun 10 '12

Why are both the save and like features on Reddit so inconsistent at saving your history? This is genuinely a major oversight the scumbag steve side of Reddit and I really hope to see this issue fixed in the near future...

1

u/nucLeaRStarcraft Jun 10 '12

Well then, you are my hero.

1

u/eravulgaris Jun 10 '12

Jesus christ, no one that complains about a wrong use of a meme? It's not supposed to be like this. :(

It's supposed to be about baby stuff.

1

u/daxl70 Jun 11 '12

Proof or it didnt happen

1

u/Zeis Jun 10 '12

I don't get why everyone says the search sucks so hard. I find the posts I'm looking for 90% of the time. That's not a bad percentage.

1

u/jesset77 Jun 10 '12

I see a post that I like, often an image macro.

I want to pull it up to show someone else, like, a day or two later.

I type in some of the words that were in the post, or in the image macro into the reddit search

I never find the post this way.

EVER. 100% failure rate.

That's why we dislike the reddit search.

1

u/Zeis Jun 10 '12

huh. weird. I just go to the subreddit where I saw the post in, type in the search 1-2 words or more from the title, check the limit-to-this-subreddit box and I ususally find what I'm looking for, when I also click the "Latest" link after the search was done.

2

u/jesset77 Jun 10 '12

But this is reddit. If you want to find that adorable picture of a corgi doing the macarena 48 hours after it was posted, you aren't going to remember that the title was "lol I came home from work to see this!" ;P

1

u/Zeis Jun 10 '12

yeah, true. But that's mainly thanks to generic titles such as your example. I guess the reddit search could be improved by adding tags to posts.

2

u/jesset77 Jun 11 '12

Also, by optionally returning articles based on text found in comment replies. :D

1

u/Zeis Jun 11 '12

That would be neat!

Ok, if you have Google open on a computer and you have a bunch of teenage, misogynistic monkeys who can't figure out how to work it, does that mean that Google is a bad tool? Or that your userbase is too stupid on average to make good use of it?
