Cut. That small hole in the internet way over there is where this joke used to be.

Cool but 'cut' is in text that you can edit. When you cut text, it deletes it and adds it to your clipboard.
Copy is just copying the text to your clipboard

Mmmmmno. OP copied it to a text file, and cut it from there to past here - there WAS prior copying, but you don't cook over a standing tree.

And how would you know this?

I'm getting really sick of reddit lately and it is entirely because of seeing people simply stating facts getting down voted like this. How the fuck does anyone just assume the text was cut. Like, maybe he reposts shit with unnecessary extra steps, but if anyone with 2 brain cells were to repost something without editing it, they would just copy it. Like this whole argument is so fucking stupid and his response to this comment is basically "nuh-uh, it could be, you don't know" and you are the one getting down voted? The comments used to be my favorite part of reddit, and now I can feel them giving me cancer. Sorry for the rant. No one is going to read this far into this stupid chain anyway.

Thank you!

Examples in hypothetical, of course. You discounted all options, I explained one that was logical

Not the fucking question. You are now making an unfounded assumption to back up the use of cut-and-paste as proper.This does nothing but discredit your argument. Is it literally this hard for people to admit they are wrong?
Lakefish_ t1_iy4k8or wrote
This is an internet debate, not something to get worked up over. I was giving an example where "cut and paste" IS the correct wording, in counterpoint to your assertion that it would ALWAYS be the wrong words to use. This "unfound assumption" is a presumption that I HAVE seen occur, as well.

No, its not logical. How is copying the post, pasting it into a txt file, cutting the text then pasting it into the post editor fucking logical??
Also, thats not my question
Lakefish_ t1_iy5gyz5 wrote
It's logical because "I'm copying it from them, but putting MY copy in to post!"
- so said my great grandparents, and one of my not-great grandparents
A-purple-bird t1_iy5kyqm wrote
Yeah thats copying it not cutting it lolol
Lakefish_ t1_iy5nfme wrote
'fraid not. The action preceding the paste into the posting was a cut from a text document. The copying into it WAS a copy, but to post it had been a cut. I don't know WHY the text document was needed, the cut was unnecessary; but it is, for some reason, an important distinction - one that it seems cannot be impressed upon you.

You didn't mention cutting the text from a text document in your last comment lol. Also its not logical. Just copy the text from the post and paste it into the post editor.
Next time come up with something that makes sense lol.

I had.. two? comments ago, actually. And as I've said, one of my grandparents does this. I don't find it sensible, but it HAS happened.
Are.. you sure you should be on reddit?
A-purple-bird t1_iy5zv1b wrote
Oh shuuuuuut the fuuuuuuck uuuuup
Okay, so your grandparents do it. So?? Its not logical at all, and as such, op most likely didn't do that.
Actually op didn't do that. Op is a bot that is programmed to copy the contents of posts with a lot of updoots from a long time ago and post said contents.
Lakefish_ t1_iy68eeh wrote
Was just an example that it DOES happen
If OP is a bot though, fair enough
