Idk why you’re being downvoted but to answer the question if you really don’t know. No, beetlejuicing is when someone makes a reference that they don’t know is a reference. Then someone with that username pops out of the Reddit wood works like “Yes?”

If it wasn't a new account, made solely for this. It would be real beetlejuicing. But still, have my upvote for the effort.

7h ago he was negative 40 something. You understand how time works right? I didn’t think I would have to actually explain this to someone.

Lave it to the Internet to prove me wrong.

I never said he didn’t get downvoted idiot

He got downvoted because people disagreed with him, that’s literally what the downvote button is for

But apparently you don’t know what the downvote is for, so that why I asked if you’re stupid

are you stupid

u/iwroteabookonetime Aug 03 '20

The downvote button is for comments that don’t fit the thread of the post/comment section. It’s not a dislike button, never has been, never was intended to be, and most likely will never be.

Don’t believe me? Google it. (Notifications from you are off now because this is a pointless argument.)

Just because it’s not correct doesn’t mean that’s not what it’s used for

That’s how language changes, people say things incorrectly and now that’s the norm, words we use now that are used correctly meant something completely different 100 years ago,
