Yeah, I'll write out a comment and realize I don't care about any responses and delete it. It was just good to get the thoughts out of my system

u/Xyrazk 6h ago

I've also done that dozens of times. It's just cathartic to get some thoughts out of my head. I don't need people to read it. And frankly I don't want to read it again myself

u/league-folds 5h ago

Sometimes typing it all out is enough, no need to turn it into a whole Reddit debate lol.

u/DataSittingAlone 4h ago

I really should do that more often, was just getting downvoted arguing that incel behavior from women should be treated the same as incel behavior from men

u/Unfair-Tough4200 1h ago

Well it really should be but I get it

Lincoln used to do this and called them hot letters.

You write out exactly what you want to say to someone, unedited and unfiltered. Then you take the letter and throw it in the trash. It’s like therapy just getting the words on paper.

u/ncopp 4h ago

I've heard of people recommending doing that with emails. Interesting that it's been a thing for so long

u/GlassCannon81 3h ago

I do this 4-5 times for every time I actually click “reply”. It’s a sickness lol

u/FamiliarTaro7 6h ago

The older I get, the more I do this, and every time I do, I feel a little better about myself lol not giving a shit is literally the road to happiness.

u/42stingray Shower Enthusiast 6h ago

Sometimes I will do it when I'm trying to sleep, because typing a bunch of pointless shit helps me sleep

u/ComfortablyNumb2425 5h ago

Yes...you write something logical and makes sense and someone reads it wrong and suddenly you get down votes and wish you had just skipped the comment in the first place. Almost done commenting in the first place as it comes out of left field on the most innocuous of comments.

u/No-Bit-2913 3h ago

So what your saying is you hate puppies.

u/randomfinnishcuck 5h ago

This has happened too many times

u/the_hair_of_aenarion 5h ago

"I like hamburgers"

"so you're saying hotdogs are bad?"

"..."

u/BilboSwagginsSwe 4h ago

God damn if that's not half of the responses i get to any comment. Hate it so much

u/the_hair_of_aenarion 3h ago

So you're saying you hate people who ask questions?

u/HugoDCSantos 6h ago

95% of what I have to say has never been said, because arguing with stupid people is worse than dying of the worst disease in all of the Universes combined.

u/designerlemons 5h ago

I just cant stand how so many men on reddit just keep writing the exact same thing in different words over and over.

Dead give away they are just regurgitating and there is in fact no goods up top.

u/BlackPresident 4h ago

Blast your opinion onto reddit, “stop reply notifications” move on with life

u/No_Database9822 5h ago

1 fact will beat 100 scholars but 100 facts won’t beat 1 idiot

u/TurnoverRound Lurking Peasant 1h ago

So you just call them a slur and move on

u/ElderMonkeyMan 46m ago

Fuck yeah you do you mossy green Trezahmi tree gluger.

u/Radiant_Fondant_4097 5h ago

The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze, you just know wading in with a different opinion is going to draw a bunch of aggro and end up with arguments with chucklefucks on the internet.

u/dolemiteo24 6h ago

Lol, thought I was the onl

3

u/KiooZaax 5h ago

I've been doing this so much recently, writing helps develop your thinking and understanding what you think, but not sending the message means you won't have to deal with someone answering. I almost didn't send this message either lol

u/Wizzarkt Identifies as a Cybertruck 5h ago

i once wrote a mini thesis, citing sources and everything just to prove how wrong the other guy was, then i realized dumb people stay dumb and i never sent the comment despite being already written.

u/Capybara-from-Earth 4h ago

No, only Backspace

2

u/Tankette55 1h ago

So relatable. Except its 2 mins and not 20, but yeah lol

2

u/Capital-Factor-382 6h ago

Y'all need to learn the difference between delete and backspace keys

2

u/Rukenau 5h ago

I think it's a case of Ctrl+A — Del

2

u/Is_it_my_cat 6h ago

Select - delete woks just the same as select - backspace.

u/I_am_Fiduciam 6h ago

Well, delete key will erase what's after the pointer, so it can work still

u/Professional_Win1165 5h ago

Hitting delete on a 20-minute essay is the healthiest thing I’ll do all year

1

u/CandidPlantain2000 6h ago

Suddenly you picture Chinese agents on a phone bot farm gleefully smiling and talking shit to 20 people at the same time.

Fear/anger engagement machine.

u/someonetookmyname0 6h ago

The brain is meant to express thoughts not hold on to them

1

u/designerlemons 5h ago

Reddit, and more broadly the internet is a constant reminder that many, many men should be expressing their thoughts to themselves haha

1

u/chaings_ 6h ago

This happens often for me and I encourage others to listen to that voice as well.

1

u/AaahNutss 5h ago

yes yes yes

u/designerlemons 5h ago

Mmmmm ice cream so good

u/JustChilling505 5h ago

Don't waste your energy on internet discussions.

u/Ok-Shame-5966 5h ago

That's some chronic redditor behavior 

1

u/jaffparker 5h ago

This meme has saved me so much time. Every time I wanna express my views in a comment, it comes to mind and I just close the tab lol

1

u/Gravyboat44 5h ago

So many times I get through a comment but I start to wonder how I can word it in a way where it's not misunderstood or doesn't piss anyone off, and the extra brain power makes me realize it's not worth it anymore.

1

u/Signal_Cod_1873 5h ago

Actually, you know what? Never mind.”

u/404NameOfUser 5h ago

The older you get the more this happens because on one hand you mature and have knowledge you can share through the experience you get in life, but at the same time that same experience tells you the best way to avoid unnecessary stress is to pick your battles and the way social media and the internet in general works arguing with a stranger can be a colossal waste of time.

u/lerker54651651 4h ago

it bothers me more than it should that her backspace key is labeled delete.

1

u/Otlap 4h ago

Also just use CTRL + A and then Delete\Backspace to do this quickly

1

u/PuerroOnReddit 4h ago

Happens to me on Twitter too, I'm so tired of arguing about nosense or stuff I cannot make the other person comprehend.

1

u/jt19912009 4h ago

And it’s probably a bot that is going to respond to said comment if you posted it

1

u/RBLakshya Linux User 4h ago

One of the most relatable memes I’ve came across

1

u/JTI_Guy 4h ago

Yeah

u/Recentstranger 4h ago

Be that one troll that sends insults only to delete it a minute later 🤷‍♂️

u/Omega_art 3h ago

Well actually. ..

u/karisdr87 2h ago

Me. All the time.

u/ISwearImAnonymous 2h ago

I JUST did that

1

u/CobblerSmall1891 48m ago

I don't remember if I ever had an argument here and one of us said "yeah, you changed my mind". 

So it's often pointless 

1

u/TokenToyHunter 12m ago

This has happened to me so much lately

1

u/poppin-n-sailin 5h ago

I've never spent twenty minutes writing something on reddit. That's just insanity.

u/_Crimson_Pulse_ 6h ago

The exact moment inner peace hits you harder than winning the argument

0

u/Radyschen 6h ago

it's not really an argument anyway and you can't win, that would require a genuine interest in having a valid logical argument and then criticizing the premises of the other person and having a real intellectual conversation. Most conversations anywhere (and I mean 99%) are biased people shouting catchphrases of their position at each other, it doesn't lead to anything, even if you are "right"

1

u/ginko_user20099 5h ago

"For example" ahh reply

u/Radyschen 5h ago

see what I mean guys

u/SourceCodeAvailable Linux User 6h ago

If it going to take me 20 minutes I'll just troll

u/designerlemons 5h ago

Linux flair in a meme sub. Jfc

u/psyclopsus 6h ago

If you ever reconsider, reddit keeps track of the most recent 20 that you deleted/abandoned in Drafts for 2 weeks
