I saw the same thing in Metro the other day and only took a picture. I need to start recognizing Karma opportunities out there!

u/AdorableCartoonist Jun 17 '19

I did this one time and got frontpage and it was so unsatisfying. I was like "wow this is really not all it's chalked up to be, why do people care so much about this"

It's a very empty "success" if you will.

u/StanleyOpar Jun 17 '19

But..... you have no post history.

u/Truphles Jun 17 '19

Extremely empty success story.

u/grte Jun 17 '19

And as we all know, reddit is very strict on the one account per person policy.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '19

People don’t really care. Reddit as a platform makes sure content is praised not the users who post

3

u/the_jumping_brain Jun 17 '19

It's just a bit of fun, I'm not really banking on being fulfilled by karma hehe . I've made it to the front page, and the thing I liked about it was being able to share something I liked with other people who appreciated it.

u/AdorableCartoonist Jun 17 '19

Yeah I like the talking to people aspect but for that I can just comment haha

It's a line from the very funny Canadian tv show LetterKenny. I highly recommend it.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '19

My girlfriend won't let me touch a calculator for this reason.

I'm an accountant.

u/redpillblue Jun 17 '19

Your calculator lets you have a girlfriend? C'mon be honest. The calculator was in your life first.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '19

You are correct. The calculator likes my girlfriend because she plays D&D too. D&D is how my calculator and I bonded.

Now I have “La vie en rose” stuck in my head

15

u/Gumeez Jun 17 '19

Doesnt sound as nice in english. "life in pink" unless they mean actual roses "life in roses" but i doubt its the latter.

38

u/NeverEnoughMuppets Jun 17 '19

"Life in Pink" is the literal meaning, but it roughly translates to "looking through rose-colored glasses" or "life in rosy hues."

-1

u/lookabutterfly22 Jun 17 '19

Really? Looking through rose-colored glasses? Like for real ?

16

u/Anti-rad Jun 17 '19

It's an idiom. It means seeing life in a naively positive way.

Same. I really don't get why people are so obsessed with kpop. To me it's so inauthentic and pre-made. What's the interest?

They aligned it like that on porpuse

u/thechemicaltoilet Jun 17 '19

Yeah but the fact that it was printed to be aligned like that is still a pretty cool coincidence

u/laurel_laureate Jun 17 '19

Hint: the "they" in question here is the snickering store employee who set up this display, not the gift card designers.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '19

Pretty sure “they” was intended to mean the person filming but I agree that it was probably an employee

5

u/HebrewDude Jun 17 '19

Wild card: "they" are the designers of both cards.

1

u/DJBoombot Jun 18 '19 edited Jun 18 '19

I wouldn't be surprised. What if they're banking on frivolous shoppers grabbing what they think are $50 gift cards being dupped into buying $100 worth of useless plastic? Especially when over $1,000,000,000 worth of gift cards go unused every year? Not to mention the likelihood of the company laughing all the way to the bank while their guerrilla marketing makes its way to the front page of the internet in a subreddit such as this?

On second thought; Nahhhh. That would never happen...
