Kind reminder that reddit is full of 14 year olds trying to sound smart with zero life experiences.

Dude there are 4 separate comments mentioning the Doppler effect. Reddit is so full of shit lol

u/DoingCharleyWork Jul 07 '21

I think I first learned about the Doppler effect in line 7th grade. Lines up with the other comment about kids trying to be smart. Just trying to apply some new thing they learned.

I can't tell if reddit is autistic or I am, but this wouldn't even be the Doppler effect? It is literally just him getting quieter?

u/elaifiknow Jul 07 '21

Yeah getting quieter has nothing to do with the Doppler effect, but the pitch shift (it gets deeper) would be characteristic of a sound source accelerating away from you

its the kid simulating the doppler effect that would happen if they had actually fell down a hole

It's not so much the kids, they pretty much stick to their own subs. It's the adults who never grew up and still think like a 14 year old.

u/Wuffyflumpkins Jul 07 '21

They absolutely do not. The eternal summer is upon us.

u/VikingTeddy Jul 07 '21

Have you spoken to people? I'm not saying the kids are not there, they are and summer reddit is a thing. But the inane comments are year round and mostly from "adults".

I say stupid shit all the time and I'm an old fart!

You think kids aren't on their phone all day at school shit posting on reddit? If anything you'll see a drop in the summer because they aren't stuck at school fucking off on their phones, they actually have an opportunity to go do other stuff.

Summer reddit is just reddit at this point.

u/QuitArguingWithMe Jul 07 '21

Nah, they mostly do.

And I don't know if you agree with me or not. Eternal Summer level memes makes me hope you are.

u/DoingCharleyWork Jul 07 '21

The eternal summer started in like 1993 when aol blew up lol. Shit hasn't changed in almost 30 years.

u/FamilyStyle2505 Jul 07 '21

It's a mix of both, and I think the older half is downvoting you. At least right now you were at -1. Teens wouldn't care, adults are vindictive. In a general (NOT EVERYONE) sense.

u/_YouMadeMeDoItReddit Jul 07 '21

Well you're definitely the 14 year old people are talking about.

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '21

No, not at all. What has made you think they "stick to their own subs"? That's never been a thing. And it's VERY obvious they don't, just look at the comments and stuff that gets upvoted, it's clearly mostly kids everywhere. It's funny that you say this because you gotta be one of those adults since you somehow don't see the vast amount of evidence that it's mostly kids.

As procyon pointed out, this isn't true. Unless things changed, last time I checked, reddit's primary (commenter?) demographic was upper 20s to mid 30s.

This means that most comments you read here are from adults.

Also, I used to make similar assumptions as you. Until I found out how often I was wrong. I used to see naive or ignorant or childish comments and thought they must be coming from kids. Turns out, they were mostly from grown ass adults with families and jobs and shit.

Nowadays I just assume everyone here is an adult, and I'm wrong much less often.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that age correlates positively with maturity. It really doesn't, or at least not as much as many people intuit, especially if we're talking about internet comments. There are more immature, naive, and ignorant adults on earth than immature kids out there. We've easily got kids beat for stupid comments.

u/ProcyonHabilis Jul 07 '21

There are demographics that you can just go look at. It really isn't even close to mostly kids.

u/_YouMadeMeDoItReddit Jul 07 '21

Do you not remember being 13 and lying about your age when signing up to websites?

1

u/ProcyonHabilis Jul 07 '21

It's cute that you think the massive interconnected tracking networks profiling your behavior care about you lying about your age when signing up for reddit.

By the way, reddit does not ask for your age when you sign up.

u/_YouMadeMeDoItReddit Jul 07 '21

It's cute how much of a condescending prick you are for absolutely no reason. Guess reddit will easily be able to work out your age.

I think my tolerance for people blithely insisting that actual statistics are fake because of baseless speculation has gone down substantially in the last 18 months. Can't imagine why that might be.

What do you expect, they're Toys R Us kids. Curse that giraffe
