Is it tradeable (can you use gold someone's given you to gild another comment)? Also, why would someone pay for gold? Sorry if silly questions, I've browsed reddit for a while and never seen it explained.
Gilding a comment is like paying somebody that's playing guitar on the street. They didn't ask for it, but they're just so good damn good that you feel bad not giving them money.
No it’s not tradeable (unless they changed things and I never found out). Someone pays to gild (i.e. to give gold to) a comment to show their appreciation for the comment. When an account has been given gold, they get some extra perks that other non-gilded accounts don’t get (not sure exactly all of the perks but IIRC there’s being able to subscribe to highlighting new comments, themes I think - I’m not sure, I bet you can find a list somewhere or someone else can provide a better list). As well as providing the account with the gold perks, the money you pay to give gold goes to paying for Reddit’s servers. I don’t remember the numbers but each gilding pays for some amount of hours of server-time. So basically it’s supporting the website that many of us use so often.
You mean Reddits own app is so shit that they didn’t include the functionality to get free money?
你是说 Reddit 自家的 App 烂到连搞点免费钱的功能都没加进去?

You ever wonder if your picture will be taken then years and years after you're dead it'll be seen by thousands of people for almost no specific reason? I think about that a lot when I'm on this sub
Pictures like this are always existential crisis fuel. I was looking at this photo and thinking about how worried he was about the drought and how happy he was about the rain, how important all of this was to him, and now he’s gone forever, everything that seemed important to him has disappeared in time and none of that really mattered. All that is left of him is this photograph that captured his moment of happiness that strangers are looking at decades after his death before moving on with their lives and forgetting about it almost instantly. Fuck me, why do you have to do this to me Reddit?
Yeah. I hope mines me petting a dog or something. Maybe petting two dogs.

Truth, I saved someone's life many years ago. I was walking in DC and saw a man having a heart attack. I caught him before he fell on the marble block outside the Starbucks in Dupont Circle. I called 911 and began cpr. He lived. I know he worked for the DOE, but don't know his name.
I think about that sort of thing as well. Another crazy one to think about is, for example, time. The only thing different between where I'm sitting now and me sitting here years ago is time. I'm in the same house, same room, doing similar things but so much has changed and distance isn't a factor. When I visit my mom's house, a lot of things are the same as when I lived at home with her except things are different now. So much has happened in all those years but in a way it still feels the same. The only difference is just time - something that we can measure but still don't quite understand. Anyway, am I high now? I feel high.
Get high. You may be in the same room of the same house, but you are certainly not in the same place. Insomuch as; Earth rotating, and rotating around the sun, and the solar system rotating around the Galaxy, an universal expansion, etc..
Once you put aside the ego part of you that insists anything about you matters, at all, life is so much easier and happier. Is anyone going to remember me in a thousand years? Fuck no! Who gives a shit? Right now I’m spending my Friday night working on a hand made knife in my yard with a cold beer, my brother, and my dog playing in the sprinklers. I’m just enjoying my right now for right now. Some day I’m gonna die. I intend to fill the intervening time with as many of these moments that I enjoy as I possibly can. Fuck everything else.
I watch The Twilight Zone regularly and this consistently fucks me up. The majority of my favorite characters are dead now, or close to dead. Some of the most attractive women I've seen in my life were on that show, and most of them hit menopause around the time I was born. The only ones with any life left were the youngest of the children on the cast, and most of their life's passed by before mine even started. It makes it hurt even more that the show is so timeless. The stories they tell and the humanity it represents have outlived the actors and actresses who played the roles. I can't even pretend it was some far away time that I have no attachment to.
You say that, but you fail to realize that this moment is eternally captured, has made an impression on thousands upon thousands, and is being discussed by tons of people all the time. Maybe the end of the drought saved tons of lives, and is responsible in the long run for a ton of wonderful people existing today that wouldn't be here otherwise. You're having an existential crisis because you're thinking strictly about yourself and your problems. In the grand beauty of love and existence and humanity, this picture is an inspiration; a tribute to the wonder of being. If anything, it should be medicine for an existential crisis.
> and none of that really mattered The only reason you perceive an existential crisis is because of this absurd claim. Did the vote you made for president “not really matter”? Of course not. And even more so your lifelong contributions to society certainly mattered. Whether this guy contributed to the policy that brought electricity to farmers, got poor farmers subsidies or just lived and got food for himself. He contributed to the world certainly.
TIL Texas had a horrible drought all through the 1950s and then suddenly in 1957 it started raining for 32 straight days with destructive hail and tornadoes. Every major river in Texas flooded killing 22 people and flooding thousands of homes.
The photo taken on March 25, 1951, which coincidentally was Easter Sunday, appeared in the San Antonio Light newspaper with the following caption: >Good to last drop - Sam J. Smith, farmer in San Antonio's Belgian Garden district, raises his face in thanks and pleasure to the dripping skies. Rains which started Sunday and scheduled to continue through Monday were a Godsend to drouth plagued farmers and ranchers. The more the better, they say. Mud will make them happy and **it can't rain too much.**
这张摄于 1951 年 3 月 25 日的照片,巧合的是那天正好是复活节周日,刊登在《圣安东尼奥灯塔报》上,配文如下:
> 滴滴香浓,回味无穷(Good to last drop)—— 圣安东尼奥比利时花园区的农民萨姆·J·史密斯(Sam J. Smith),抬起头,满怀感激与喜悦地迎接着滴落的天雨。这场从周日开始并预计持续到周一的降雨,对于饱受旱灾之苦的农场主和牧场主来说简直是天赐之礼。他们说,雨下得越多越好。泥泞会让他们感到幸福,而且**雨再怎么下都不嫌多**。

My great aunt lived on the Comal River when it flooded and they still have a painting hung with the water line to show where the water level was in her house.
A common sight in river towns in Europe is marks and signs on the walls with the record levels of past floods. Always thought it was interesting and scary at the same time.

Drought is no laughing matter. I remember the drought of '71 like it was yesterday, and it was one of the scariest times of my life. Without rain, pastures are no longer able to support their local ecosystems, and predators become desperate. The long walk to school became dangerous, and it was rumored that coyotes had even resorted to attacking children. I always passed through a ravine that ran through our neighbors property on my way to school, and on this day in particular, my luck had run out. The only thing that saved me was my trusty hammer that I brought for shop class. When I was a little more than halfway across the ravine, I saw the first one. A mangy, but desperate, coyote at the end of the trail. I started backing away slowly, but it was too late. He started calling them in. I took off my back pack, pulled out my hammer, and grabbed the bag's straps so I could use it as a shield. The first coyote came from my left, but God was I fast back then. I brought my hammer down on his head as he leaped at me. The beast probably died instantly. The next two came at me together. One charged in and got a literal textbook shield bash to the face, but the second took a good hard bite into my thigh. Repeated hammer blows crushed ribs and broke a malicious spirit, and the bite was released. By this time my power combos were charged up and I was able to one hit the other coyote. Three more crazed beasts entered the fray but they were no match for my back, back, forward charge attack. When I finally made it to school I had earned so much xp that I leveled up.
As long as it keeps raining, we are good! Let our cars get dirty with rain, dont matter!

There were some kids out at recess from school in West Texas when it rained for the first time in their whole lives. It scared some of them so bad they fainted. They had to throw buckets of dust in their faces to wake them back up.
Coolest OSC I've seen in a while. Not another "Here's when my mom was sexy... Before she pushed me out" or "Here are my parents when they were happy, before they had kids." Just pure unfettered joy and... Tears? (I am going with, obvious tears.) I couldn't imagine being a farmer and somehow making it through the drought/dust-bowl era surviving long enough to see the rain return. I'd probably go out in my field full of tears, fall to the ground and roll around in the mud while I just laugh/cried/cheered/yelled at the skies and thanked the gods... (edit: Yes, both old... And the new) Also, I'd love to see this on
