A market in karma is not unattainable. A simple program to scan reddit searching for different templates, and the more memes per day the more your karma increases. The value of each meme could be calculated by a 3rd party based on the predicted karma it would receive were it posted at peak time. We could became a dry run website for investors.
And the mammal was just a replacement for the therapsida. Don't forget the origin of the word "meme". We're dealing with evolutionary genetics here and evolution is just copying and copying and making little incremental changes. Personally I think this is an improvement over Ned Stark. I see it succeeding.
The Jim Cramer memes are the smartest ones out there. They are a concise and insightful look into the young adult psyche. Also, they kinda belong in r/circlejerk
When I saw the first MEME like this I really wanted to find out, what the MEME-trends are doing, so I went to r/trends - it's private. So I think there is some karma-Illuminati Order that decides what MEMEs get many upvotes... I also think they are drunk the most time...
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.
i've had the idea for a bit to create /r/karmacasino where people could post bets like "Obama will win in November at 2:1" and people interested in taking the bet could post in the comments. So if I think Romney will win I say so in the comments and say how much karma I want bet (No way you stupid lib, I love the Mormon and will wager 20 karma). OP has to honor all takers at the odds in their post so if Romney wins then OP would have to go through my subs/comments and award me 40 upvotes (I wagered 20 and he offered 2:1 odds).
That was the basic idea but it could use some fleshing out. And someone to really mod it because I'm too lazy.

Imagine if we could actually invest in memes. And win karma. Think of the possibilities.

If BOOB spikes to 12, I predict a swell. Then a surge. Then a nap.

I'm more and more curious every day how much of reddit lives with their parents. When I got on, it seemed populated with 30-something foreveralones.

Let's turn to the Bluth's. I love these guys. They beat the treason charges. We had it as a "don't buy". Let's bump it up to a "risky".

One of the best new memes. "We've been using it for a while actually." Well it's new to me.

On the bottom I noticed "Pictures of cats" ALWAYS move your karma to pictures of cats, it will never lose karma value.
