[B]I KNOW MOST OF YOU HATE REDDIT BUT THIS IS HEARTWARMING[/B]
Apparently in less then 24 hours reddit raised 71.000$ dollars for an orphanage in Africa. Now it seems that reddit has started a "redditors without borders", a community where everyone from Nuclear Engineers and Software Developers come together and run their own "information charity".

I think it's a genius idea, really. Most of us should contribute there.

From nuclear engineers and software developers to?...
This is pretty amazing but I feel like it will run out of steam, redditors usually go all out on something and then forget about it the next day because there are new posts up.

I'm glad you quoted the whole post, I didn't know who you were replying to.

Sweaty basement dwellers.
But Bill Gates makes more in an hour
Wow good job Reddit :)
71.000 or 71,000?
$71.
:v:
Some countries use the (1.000,00) format instead of (1,000.00). So yeah it's 71 thousand not 71 dollars and three empty cents digits.

I wonder how much Facepunch can make in 24 hours.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;34423718]I wonder how much Facepunch can make in 24 hours.[/QUOTE]
Almost nothing because the size of Facepunch is nothing compared to the size of these mega-sites like Reddit.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;34423718]I wonder how much Facepunch can make in 24 hours.[/QUOTE]
$5
[QUOTE=Rammaster;34423718]I wonder how much Facepunch can make in 24 hours.[/QUOTE]
Nothing because lordofthefat.
this is going to go an astounding no where
the only reason this made money was because there's not a shitload of fundraising going on all the time
all this will do is desensitize people to fundraising on reddit lmao
[QUOTE=Rammaster;34423718]I wonder how much Facepunch can make in 24 hours.[/QUOTE]
none because we're all 13 year olds without jobs
evidence to support this claim: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1157731[/url]
also i'm curious how this 71k is getting to poor old omari over in africa because it's not exactly tax free and i'm sure a lot of banks would be very interested to know wtf is going on with this money
now if reddit could only be funny and not steal memes and come up with a good plan thats not retarded and wont work, like meshnet

Ay, it's a small house and my siblings got all the good rooms.
At least it's adaptable during the seasons. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Jan 2012, slams reddit for doing a good deed, spams dumbs, inproper capitalisation, terrible grammar and a shit name that screams "I am a 10 year old cod fag". You'll do well here.

Dumbs because reddit thinks that if they help some house in Africa they are hot shit, I got a new Daz blank mechanical keyboard, I enjoy have a terrible shit name.

Did you do something for an African orphanage? If not, kindly shove your keyboard up your ass and pretend like you make a difference.

reddit is, in fact, 'hot shit' if they can raise $74k in less then 24 hours for an orphanage.
God you're such a prick please die if you think this is something to call dumb over.

Okay :suicide:
What's with the Reddit hate bandwagon, we're just as good at running memes into the ground as they are (LMAO pics would die without Reddit)
