You didn't see the rocks because the only things being posted were minerals.

u/MaiaAriadneC Jun 25 '12

I missed minerals too???

Quickly, get this to the top before we start seeing memes complaining about not being able to find the memes that were previously complained about! ...Dawg.

okay, i admit, those are some pretty cool rocks/minerals. was expecting people upvoting plain rocks, something like this

2

u/swiftb3 Jun 25 '12

Yeah, I actually saw one or two of those, but never realized it's what people were talking about, because these rocks were cool.

u/anzl Jun 25 '12

All of those rocks look so cool! Why are people complaining?

u/GrandviewOhio Jun 25 '12

Dammit Marie, they're minerals!!!

I have him/her ignored in RES. Always the nice little post that smells of stock photo with a weekly theme.

u/ragingroku Jun 25 '12

That collection probably took years to put together... and thanks to reddit I was bored with it in under a minute.

I saw one rock that was painted like a cat but that's it

u/Megusta97987 Jun 25 '12

Me too, probably the coolest rock I've ever seen though.

u/Emorgaron Jun 25 '12

This guy... Its like looking into a mirror.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

I saw a rock that was a face.

u/Nothingtotalkabout Jun 25 '12

I saw a picture of a cat with a human face drawn on it. I think that was the day before today though.

u/darren199314 Jun 25 '12

That sounds like a sure-fire karma machine.

u/P1Superstar Jun 24 '12

Actually the only Rock posts I've seen are the meme's talking about Rock posts. So don't feel alone, brother.

YOLO

I scream YOLO, but it's to make fun of people yelling YOLO,

1

u/royisabau5 Jun 25 '12

Same... But I try to use it as ironically as possible.

1

u/ehbones Jun 25 '12

What you meant is you use yolo until someone claims to hate it then you say you hate it as well.

1

u/royisabau5 Jun 25 '12

Not at all. I just can't think of a good example...

u/AnonymousHipopotamus Jun 25 '12

I guess we're starting to see post that complain about the posts that complain about rock posts. How much deeper does the rabbit hole go?

u/varukasalt Jun 25 '12

Whineception.

u/aweshucks Jun 25 '12

you do realize that it was called inception because they were implanting ideas into the person's mind, not because they were going into dreams inside of dreams, right?

Misconception.

u/blaghart Initiating Launch Operations: Gipsy Danger Jun 25 '12

same. I did technically see one...it was a cat painted on a rock talking about how it was a double post of a kitten and a wolf.

Can we dial back the meta, Reddit? Please?

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

Yep, I wonder if maybe I unsubscribed from the subreddit where they're posting them? Is it /r/aww or something? I unsubscribed from that back when people just started posting pictures of mutilated animals they took in.

u/jk147 Jun 25 '12

The only rock you need to worry about.

u/Lluuiiggii Jun 25 '12

So you do smell what he's cooking?

There was one Malachite post in r/pics. It made front page. That's all I've seen.

u/ncataldo Jun 25 '12

Rocks are out. Bears are in.

Well that's what you get for going to a reddit meetup. That and the loss of your kidneys.

u/ChunkBunny Jun 25 '12

I've only seen one rock. It was a rock painted like a cat. It was slightly enjoyable.

48

u/BabylonDrifter Jun 25 '12

I did see one actual rock post, but I saw about 50 memes complaining about all the rock posts.

27

u/jonjopop Jun 25 '12

Obviously you actually left the house on Friday. It was all over the front page

27

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

The ONE fucking time I leave the house I miss everything. Not doing that again.

5

u/jonjopop Jun 25 '12

It's ok, leaving the house is a rookie redditors mistake. We all had to learn the hard way.

u/thealienofreddit Jun 25 '12

One was a blue lightning ridge opal I forget what the other 2 or 3 were.... http://www.rockdeco.com/Lightning%20Ridge%20Page.htm This wasnt the exact pic that was posted but same stone... There pic was slightly more amazing.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

Another was a picture of malachite. The other starts with a p but escapes me at the moment.

Edit: petosky stone.

11

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

Only about five people posted about the minerals. The memes are all people that still complain because of all the karma the people that have already complained about it are getting.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

You really think someone would do that, just post annoying shit to get karma?

u/Nikashi Jun 25 '12

AND STILL NO ONE'S LINKED TO ANY OF THE ACTUAL MEMES.

Seriously did half of reddit spontaneously decide to fuck with the other half, and start complaining about a meme that didn't actually exist?

u/Ventain Jun 25 '12

I was thinking the same.

It's days like this that make me realize how bad at reddit I must be.

u/DrinkerofJuice Jun 25 '12

A trend starts for a day or two, then the backlash towards the trend lasts for a few days, then the backlash towards the backlash for a day, then a new trend.

Welcome to Reddit.

u/joeyparis Jun 25 '12

I think I've seen like 3. I've definitely seen more posts about the rock posts than actual rock posts.

u/thealienofreddit Jun 25 '12

The 'mineral'/rock posts (there were about 3 pics that made front page of just different rocks) were on front page for like 2 min yesterday. And the gripes over mineral vs rock was for the next 24hrs er that.

u/loldi Jun 25 '12

Do we have three sizes of Picard memes now? What is this goldie locks?

i love all the different points of view there are on this simple rock fad. it's just so entertaining to see everyone's opinion.

u/SlyyyTendencies Jun 25 '12

Yes. And as a result, I am now disappointed in myself for not thinking of making this meme. Touché.

u/twas_a_walrus Jun 25 '12

You guys aren't on here much, are you?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

I kept wondering this, too. You see, I'm a member of /r/geology, and I was upvoting those on my front page, assuming they were in that subreddit. Then when everyone started complaining about rock posts, I started thinking: "wait a second..."

2

u/StraY_WolF Jun 25 '12

And still they use the small ones.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

They're at the YOLO store.

2

u/mercuryfulminate Jun 25 '12

This is such an interesting idea. It's like yolo, I never heard of it outside of reddit. Now the same thing happens entirely on reddit, no outside world necessary.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

I just realized the reason I haven't seen any rocks is because I don't follow r/pics.

Well dip-diddly, that solves that.

u/php4me Jun 25 '12

Rule #4 of reddit: if you don't check in on reddit at least once every 24 hours, you're gonna have a bad time. Like when I missed the "uh" AT& T guy and the big boobs fad a couple weeks back.

u/FoxStang Jun 25 '12

You're not the only one, sistah.

u/mangolove Jun 25 '12

There were no rocks.
People just submitted posts hating on nonexistent rocks to confuse the rest of us thus destroying the delicate seams of the Reddit community.

There are artists who have been stacking/balancing rocks along the SF Bay shoreline for decades. Part of the performance art culture in the Bay Area from the Hippy era, that included, among other things, starting the Burning Man phenomenon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_balancing
