Because I think the post is stupid and I want to yell at OP

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Because I have something to add or want to express myself

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 23 points 15 hours ago

Sometimes I feel like I have something to say.

Sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I shouldn't.

How many posts could a commenter comment on if a commenter could comment on posts?

[–] seven_phone@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

How could I not comment on the posts I comment on and also not comment on the others that I don't comment on.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

A commenter knows where to comment because they know where not to comment.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 9 points 14 hours ago

If someone has already said what I was going to say, I upvote and don't comment.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 12 hours ago

If it's something i know and no one said it, i comment

If it's something i find funny and want to comment on it, i comment

If something sound so stupid and i just have to dogpile on it, i comment

If nothing else, i just have to live up to my family name and face full life consequences, i comment.

The entropy of the universe

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Do you also keep an entrometer around to help guide your activity?

[–] SomGye@dormi.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

Not currently, but I should invest in one ...

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

The voices. The voices in the walls. They make me do things.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Nothing really complex behind it. If I have something to add, I do.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Mostly time. Work break, unlikely. Lying in bed, more likely.

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Is in the bathroom a likelihood limbo?

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm not much of a y toilet phoner. Get in get out. Bathtub though - very likely.
