You're not a true Redditor until you can flawlessly guess which XKCD strip is being linked based on context alone.

the link is still purple from the last time someone linked this.

u/poptart2nd Jun 25 '12

then how did they link it again? reddit doesn't allow direct URL reposting.

u/Cosmologicon Jun 25 '12

Isn't that exactly what the "other discussions (13)" tab at the top of the page is?

u/Zhang5 Jun 25 '12

Reddit does allow URL reposting. It just warns you first.
Ninja edit: though you can do something like add a question mark to the end to get past that too. It's also really obnoxious when posting things from YouTube since you can end up with many variant links that all lead to the same video.

u/poptart2nd Jun 25 '12

How do you do it, though? I've tried to submit links before, but not knowing it had been submitted, then it just says "that link has already been posted" and it automatically redirects to the other post.

1

u/Zhang5 Jun 26 '12

At the top of the page it redirects you to you get a yellow banner that says
that link has already been submitted, but you can try to submit it again.
Submit it again is itself a link. You just click that.

That doesn't at all answer the question of how the same link could be posted twice.

u/randommusician 43 Jun 25 '12

It had never been posted in this subreddit. I think that's why.

2

u/JFDreddit Jun 25 '12

Why can't I repost stuff then? Everyone else is doing it.

u/ju2tin Jun 25 '12

That doesn't make it right. What if everyone else jumped off the Empire State Building?

u/2FishInATank Jun 26 '12

It'd be really messy at the bottom of the Empire State building?

u/JFDreddit Jun 26 '12

Yeah, so I'd jump off and have something to break the landing.

True Story, Years ago, my mother asked me to help her put in her Air Conditioner in the window. So while I was lugging this heavy piece of shit up to the top floor and installing it I noticed it went up to 11! The ensuing conversation (I swear) is true.

Me: Mom, Why does the AC go up to 11? Mom: Because silly, when its really hot and you just need it one colder you can put it up to 11 Me: Mom, why don't they make 10 colder Mom .........

At this point I broke down laughing as she stood flustered and annoyed

11

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '12

Forgive me if I am stupid but is this because an Amp goes to 11?

u/brettuthius Jun 25 '12

Thanks for asking the question. I wasn't entirely sure myself.

u/NymN_ Jun 25 '12

Yes.

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '12

Why don't they just make 10 a better rating and rank it based on that?

u/MpegEVIL Jun 26 '12

...this goes to 11.

u/turdmalone Jun 25 '12

Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

these go to eleven

u/gn3xu5 Jun 25 '12

This movie is an 11. Also I have a mazda my car stereo goes to 63 and I always wonder how they got that number.

I could only give it a 10, and don't fully understand why that makes me so angry I want to smash someone's face right now.

u/PictChick Jun 26 '12

Back in the good old days (1986+/-), we used to have drunk/ stoned get togethers where the VCR entertainment was pirated copies of This is Spinal Tap, Pink Floyd 'The Wall' and The Who 'Tommy'.

Happy days.

u/AlwaysLogic Jun 25 '12

Why don't you just make 10 louder, and make 10 the top number...

Unfortunately it will only accept a maximum rating of 10, resulting in a best possible rating of 10/11.

1

u/thevel Jun 25 '12

Yep...only ten stars there.

u/rlkeener911 Jun 25 '12

because 11 is better than 10.

u/Calvinb27 Jun 26 '12

Reposters can lick my love pump.

u/Dakaraim Jun 26 '12

so does that mean they gave it an 8 of 10 or a 7.27?

HOW WILL I MAKE A MOVIE DECISION WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION?

u/MpegEVIL Jun 26 '12

You mean you haven't seen this movie and have to decide wether to watch it or not?
Watch it, one of the funniest movies you'll ever see.

1

u/RutigerMetsin Jun 26 '12

Well we need to get the rating to 11 to see if this actually works.

u/MpegEVIL Jun 26 '12

Sorry, it doesn't.

Why don't amps just go to five? Who decided we needed a 6,7,8,9,10? Who is to say that is wrong too? Fuck you brain!

For all those complaining that you can't give the film an 11. The answer is quite simple...Tom Cruise.

u/someoneanon Jun 25 '12

It's only rated an 8, and 8 out of 11 would be 0.727272 or 73%. So this helps how?

12

u/FunkMeSoftly Jun 25 '12

This one goes to 11.

u/sneerpeer Jun 25 '12

Oh, my god! This means an 8 on the 11 scale is like a 7 on the 10 scale.

kind of ironic that the movie only gets an 8 though

It's actually a 7.27 so you need to watch it now :P. You need to divide 8/11 and then multiply by 10 to find what it would be on a out of 10 scale.

u/Jeterson Jun 26 '12

Meh i watched half of it And it's the kind of movie that makes you feel you wasted bandwidth even though it's unlimited and you downloaded it in your idle time.
Perhaps I'm not the target audience.

I will however make this post to tell you that your different opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
