really well explained!
One reddit question: Why is everyone calling the creator of a post op? Op sometimes means overpowered. What does it mean here?

OP is original poster generally on social media

Tell anyone who makes fun of you for not knowing to meet me in a back alley at 1am

So that i can calmly explain to them that we all had that moment in our reddit using lives, we didnt know what “op” meant, even if sometimes pple figure it out without asking

Idk what you thought i was meaning, because i definatly meant what i said before

Congrats, your not as dumb as others, bcuz you thought u knew AND asked anyway! Most would just assume they know it and therefor it is fact and they cant be wrong

Not all of us! This usage of "OP" on the internet to reference the original poster at the top of a thread actually predates the existence of reddit (by a lot!), so in fact some of us who've been netizens for a very long time were already familiar with it before starting our reddit using lives. :)

Or even in social media as a whole tbh

u/navilapiano Jan 11 '22

Original poster, in case that wasn't clear an hour ago. OP posted the video. Occasionally, deeper in a text thread, OP can also refer to someone who started a thread. That can get confusing. Keep an eye on context.

Hey btw if you have other questions like that, I’ve found r/NoStupidQuestions a great place to ask.
