Reddit is like the back of the classroom in high school. You can barely hear the serious conversation the OP tried to start because the top comments are all in-jokes.

And most of the time you don't get them, and really just want to hear what the kids in the front row have to say.

Edit: So far top comment is from the back of the class. A dollar says it stays that way.

Edit 2: Reaching the front page of Reddit with a showerthought is like cracking up your whole history class with a Napoleon dick joke. Also: on track to win a dollar.

Edit 3: I may need to borrow a dollar. The front of the class has taken control of the post. This is turning rather meta.
