Reply to comment by Landlubber77 in TIL A coal seam in Australia is believed to have been burning for 6,000 years, making it the oldest coal fire. The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone

How is it possible that you have 2 million comment karma?

The same way you get to Carnegie Hall.

Mapquest.

Their acceptance rate is about 14%, same as my Reddit comments. You don't get to 2 million karma without taking countless thousands of downvotes.

Quantity over quality.

Quality is an oddly subjective thing. The vast majority of my most-upvoted shit is just sorta meh, whereas there are some absolute gems out there that land with a resounding thud and die with three upvotes. I click save on them all the same so I can go back and giggle when I'm bored and/or sad Landlubber.

Depends on who you ask I guess. I encourage anyone to get out there and try to throw endless comments out and see if it gets you to 2 million. There's some dude out there with like 20-something million comment karma, he's probably the one to ask. I used to be 50th on Earth, now I'm barely scraping top-100. I got banned from my main karma sub six years ago, now I just grab a bit here and there.

Amazing use of your free time. I wish I had such low standards. I’m rich, but sad. I envy your meaningless karma.

Oh I suspect you're mocking me. Here's a shiny. Cheer up.

Actually, I was just being a clown. It wasn’t a serious comment.
