    I don’t see it anymore after leaving the hell that is Reddit, but I saw “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” multiple times in every thread.

      I haven’t seen “fuck around and find out” since the old Reddit days, either.

        Thank goodness for that. Another comment that was posted over and over and over in every thread.

        “Equal rights means equal lefts” or whatever tf it was, especially during the Depp/Heard thing. Basically condoning hitting women. But then if you disagree with it, it gets spun into endorsing women abusing men. Reddit comments can be fucking gross.

      I mean I get that if used in a context where a person does something with great risk attached and with few and rare good possible outcomes (stupid games). And then they get a bad outcome (stupid prize).

      For example Jackass-like stunts.

        It’s just a stupid phrase that I hate, parroted to death multiple times in every Reddit thread ever.
