I don't get it...

Ditto. Reloading doesn't allow you to upvote again. I don't understand.
64
it would reload the upvote, leading to repeated upvotes. If it worked. but it doesn't (luckily?)
37
"Reload" as in "to reload a gun". They were just making a joke.

Am I dead inside because I cannot find any humor in this image, even after being explained 'where the funny is'? Meh.
Gonna go read some dead baby jokes as a little pick-me-up.

Ohhhhhh. I get it. I get jokes.

No, he just made you upvote something by being inquisitive, and questioning it. You were trolled. ALL OF YOU. MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAA. And now he has free tickets to Disney Land paid for by Bill Gates and AOL.

No it works, you just have to keep doing it.

but you can reload a gun. real bad joke.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!

See I didn't get it, but because I have "don't show links after I've liked them" checked, it zapped away this so I couldn't see it. Kinda like a gun.
So that was cool. And then I had to change my preferences to figure out what was actually supposed to be funny.
And then I told the best story ever in the comments section.

You faltered but recovered magnificently. 8/10

Or you could have gone to the "liked" tab.

It's a story. Sometimes characters behave in manners that are less than perfectly efficient in order to advance the plot.

I wish that made any sense in this context.
2
It makes sense if you don't think about it too hard.
2
"zapped away this so I couldn't see it. Kinda like a gun." You mean a bullet from a gun?
2
Did I just get trolled? All it did was reload the page.
39
No, he means like a gun, you shoot the upvote and then reload

i don't get it.....

You need to work on your OCD!

How does one shoot an upvote? Is this some kind of Canadian lingo?
14
Canadian here. No.
20
Then it must be German?

Don't do it!
Our society will crumble!

Shot, center mass. Right in the Karma.
15
Damn it, for one second I was confused and I'd hoped that you'd figured out how to attack a perosns metaphysical karma itself. My dreams of thrusting nihilism upon others even byond this lifetimes were realized in that hopeful second. Well, at least as hopeful as nihilists get.

Hmm, looks like the downvote gun doesn't work.
15
ok i really don't understand, even after reading all the comments... I right clicked the upvote, Reload (did it a few times)
Karma went down a point/

Karma fluctuates. It just happened to go down a point in the meantime.
2
Bad jokes can be hard to understand. Simply, he's saying upvoting is like a gun. You shoot a bullet, then reload. Here he's saying he upvoted (shot his bullet), right-clicked to "reload" his imaginary gun.
1
That doesn't make any sense.

Then you need to go back to bed.

But refreshing and upvoting because your browser sucks at refreshing does not do anything.
One person cannot upvote or downvote more than once.
1
I've got a downvote gun, and I've been following you.
6
everyone knows you click off screen to reload...
6
Why do people keep posting that this doesnt work? Go to a page and just test it out. I tested it out and gave some post 15 votes. Tell me that is doesnt work please.
6
It probably reciprocates with 15 downvotes as well... There's a good chance the Reddit algorithms would view those upvotes as a bot.
2
Reddit already knows you upvoted it. No other upvotes will count.
1
It reloads the page, not the upvote. Nothing really happens.
2
How is it that when I refresh this page the amount of upvotes goes up and down?
5
Magic!
2
It's to help prevent spam-bots from affecting vote count.
2
Problem?

Fuck yeah, Google Chrome.

Guys, it's not meant to give you infinite upvotes.
It's a joke. See, it says 'reload'. Like a gun. So after you fired off your upvote, you can reload your gun. Of course it doesn't do anything besides reloading the page, because it's a joke, you see..?
tl;dr: You just trolled yourself by upvoting the top comment and reloading the page.

Headshot!

OP? Please explain?
3
It's a joke, nothing happens. It's merely a coincidence.

Touche.

YOU WOULDN'T DARE.
The only reason I upvoted this was to test if there was any merit to salz12's post. Have a freebie.
It totally works! I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks!
I grew 4 inches in a month!
I bet I could grow 100 inches in a month.
I grew 4 inches in a mouth!
Ask me how!
But wait..... THERE'S MORE!
who?
Now with ingredients found in your body! (WTF was in it before)
I don't have a clue but a mom discovered it!
I saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

I only downvoted this to test the theory and counter-react the upvote tests

Upvote. Refresh. Downvote.
Minus two, motherfucker
Whoa. Upvoted this once = +1. Reload = +10. What have I done?
You've broken the internet.
I would if I could.

It's funny, because I'm refreshing this page every second, and your points are moving between 1040 and 1030 again, and again, and again...
Seems like there is some kind of upvote war going on there :P
Upgotes fluctuate every time you refresh as part of reddits defense against spam.
Total points do not fluctuate however.

For submissions, the total number of votes is accurate but the breakdown is fudged. For comments, the total changes every time you refresh the page, in increasing amounts depending upon the number of total votes.
Try it. I somehow doubt there is still a war going on...
