What's really crazy is when you spend a ton of time editing an image because you think the idea is funny and the post goes nowhere. Then you repost some bullshit and it makes front page.

That is incredibly relatable

Or when you dedicate yourself to OC and then someone's repost from less than a day ago outshines you. Nah, wouldn't know what that's like.

c'est la vie

We all get those hit and misses.

Be it content, timing, what-have-you: we roll with the punches. Or just shotgun approach and hope for the best.

A few months ago I had a lot of anxiety and ate soup with a fork because of it, then posted a picture of it as a meme and got massively downvoted.

It added a lot to the experience.

So you posted a picture of soup as a meme?

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Soup with a fork in it that said something like "It's one of those days." or something like that. It wasn't good because neither was I.
