This subreddit is an online version of The Truman Show. This subreddit follows one user per month, and comments on their posts for comedic purposes.
How does one get into these private subs?
Maybe they saw they were mentioned in a big post and turned private so as to avoid a massive influx of lurkers. Check back in a day or so? I'm more than curious about this sub myself.

It would be hard to keep the joke going if everyone knew about it, and there is the chance people will spoil the fun.
Or dox someone.
As the numbers of subscribers rises, the quality of the content goes down unless you have a very strict modding team. See /r/AskScience
In the sub i mod we see a dramatic shift when our posts get exposed to a wider audience. I can only imagine how much more keenly a small sub like that might be affected.

It's funny, I always saw Reddit as a microcosm of the Internet, but in this context it's more of a microcosm of life: people find a secluded Island or lake, build a few cottages, keep it on the DL, then someone brings a friend over who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend and then the whole thing goes to shit...
What? I had to make it a typical Reddit comment somehow, didn't I?
Nope, still private
Well, damn. :(
Still private, in case you were wondering. I messaged the mods at least 4 times now, no response. Such a cruel world :(
Thai is nice though. Random message advising something is still private and then I get to re-read this thread again.
Thanks for the heads up!
If anyone ones to message me down the line, I won't get offended, lol.
Curious as well, I've run into this with many subs that sound interesting! I'm on the app and it just automatically redirects back to the original post I was looking at after telling me it's private :(
On desktop it has a button you can click to message the mods.
Why that isn't included for mobile users is beyond me.
I guess it's app dependant. Reddit sync has a message mods button at the bottom.
[deleted]
They are just filtering out the casuals.
Well there is your problem. You went with the official app!
Guess I'll have to get on the desktop site when I come across this in future. Seems convenient! -_-
If I wanted in, I would contact u/Forgive_My_Cowardice and ask them to let the mods know I wanted to join.
I'm not interested, but that's what I'd do.
On desktop there's a "message the mods" button. I've no idea how to get to that otherwise...
good news it appears that this subreddit it a public one because on webarchive it shows the subreddits front page
Winner winner chicken dinner
That front page looks like it's only 19 hours old though. Didn't improv everywhere do something like this to a band and it ended up ticking the band off?
The "submitted x hours ago" has also been cached, that's why. The page is a snapshot from 03/02/2017

I really want to be, but I feel like my knowledge of it kind of eliminates me.
Aww, it's private &/or removed :(
Didn't we used to have /r/thetrumanplan and it died?
I thought it just went private and they aren't accepting new people
It was always private IIRC as long as I was there. You had to request entry and the description was there to mask what it was to prevent the Truman from finding it. The last Truman they got (Jesus, almost two years ago!?) wasn't a good candidate and we didn't quite know what to do with them. It just kinda pooped out from there.
You broke rule 1 man c'mon
Okay so checking the archived version the very first rule is DO NOT mention the sub outside of the sub. Dude.
Nothing shows up when I click your link?

While that's neat, I really question how close it comes to harrassment/bullying/doxxing. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin everybody's voyeuristic fun.

You don't accidentally create a subreddit.
I spent too much time checking the kernings on that. For a moment I thought those were 2 different fonts.
How do you accidentally create a subreddit?
Is that how easy it is to create a subreddit??
yeah no. I don't know what sub creation was like back then, but i sure as hell doubt you can just casually make a sub reddit instead of searching for a user.
Did you read the thread linked? One dude made a mistake and people just went along with it. The creation of the sub wasn't an accident. You can't create subs just by naming them.
typing /r/anything123 will have reddit auto-link to that sub, even if it doesn't exist. However, if someone else then goes and creates a sub with that name, then any subsequent visitors will see a real sub.
It's very easy to read up what happened in the original linked comment.
/r instead of /u
It took me a minute as well.
/u/aznednacni typed it

Get the fuck out and don't come back.
I can't believe how big this got over the years. I made the very first post in that sub.
Wow, apparently I upvoted that post and the related comments 2 years ago, but I have no recollection of it.
It was my understanding that the u/PurpleCoco brought up an odd location of an outlet, so someone created this sub and used his name since he started it.
Bless.
Thought and prayers?
Best part of this thread: random Fresh Prince injection

Reddit history right there
I liked looking through that account
This is awesome backstory. Thanks!
Typical reddit.
This is great
Oddly engrossing, thanks
I just lost ten minutes.
To be fair, while the sub is entertaining, many all of the posts can be explained away with "we needed a sign here" or "we needed a clock here" or "there was a built-in fixture here"
Yeah, I subscribed for the odd amusing post but the vast majority seems to amount to "I am 14 and don't understand that outlets can be used for things other than charging my iPhone".
Yeah, after the first half dozen, it was obvious that the majority were clearly originally for a sign or projector,
Still is entertaining though.
Or for Christmas decorations and projectors.
I don't do household work (aside from occasional stuff at home) but through theatre electric work I've found quite a few oddities that, however puzzling, made perfect sense in the specific case they were made for. Like the male-male cable which worked with one specific outlet and otherwise is known as a suicide cord...
Why do you think they need explaining?
As someone who's worked as an electrician I can understand a lot of these outlets.
What would be the explanation for those hidden inside cupboards or on the ceiling corners?
Not an electrician, but likely to hide the microwave/coffee maker cords or for projectors, respectively.
u/thricedeadcat is right, or it could be for lighting in the cupboards also.
I'm so excited to see this. I have an outlet in a very odd place in my house. I've wanted to share it with the whole world but never had the courage. Now, there is a place for this odd outlet so the Lil guy doesn't have to be alone anymore.
IS THIS A JOJO REFERENCE??
As an electrician this pleases me. Is there more subs related to electricity ? Whether for comedic or educational reasons
There goes hours of my day.
The sub name sounds like a Crash Bandicoot spin-off game.
Very Twin Peaks...
Thank you for this.
I didn't know other people questioned things like this...

I don't know why it's a thing but it's pretty freakin funny
This sub really bothers me because I would love to have outlet that aren't all near the ground. Especially the ones in cabinets would be so useful in the kitchen
So many posts about outlets for TVs and clocks.
subscribed. I like when something so small and silly takes off. This made my day.
As a home inspector none of those locations surprise me in the slightest.
How is this so active?!
Most of the outlets that are high up on a wall are usually for security cameras or TVs, so relax! /r/PurpleCoco/

I found a fire hydrant sticking 4ft out of the ground in the wilderness on a lake shore. Where's a sub I can post that too?
Sounds like land subsidence. Maybe make your own PurpleCoco?
Im in love with the Purple Coco
Thank you for this. Almost 20 years ago I found a tree in the woods behind a friend’s house. The tree had an electrical outlet mounted in it maybe 10 feet up. I’ll go find that tree next week and post a pic.
Maybe for a treehouse?
Well I just spent too much time there.
There are tons of new posts in this sub, probably due to this askreddit post, because now we know

/r/RTLSDR is easy to find if you already know the acronym, but close to impossible to stumble across randomly.
For the uninitiated, someone figured out that if you take a $2 USB tuner designed to pick up digital TV broadcasts, you can also use it to listen to... virtually everything else in the radio spectrum. Pilots chatting to air traffic control, mall security, local emergency services, ham radio, meteors and radio astronomy (the sound of magnetic storms on Jupiter, anyone?), shortwave music stations from the other side of the planet, downloading live pictures from weather satellites passing across your rooftop, tracking ships at sea, it goes on and on and on. All without any kind of Internet connection - if I were off grid this would keep me busy forever.
It should really be called "how to do almost anything in software defined radio on a budget"

Met a guy once where this was his life. He was an old rich guy that had a major satellite and antenna installation on his property (maaaaasive and horrible eyesore) and every night he would have a cup of tea, and sit in his "radio room" to listen to weird shit and talk to people in other countries.
That sounds like my dad. It started as a way to piss off the HOA. (Radio towers are federally protected and hoa can't do shit) And then he really got into ham and there's a larger than you might expect group of old people that talk at fuckingstilldark o'clock in the morning where they did like trivia questions and the weather and stuff.
It's not just the talking, it's the doing it by Morse code, the doing it on no power, the learning about and designing antennas, the understanding how propagation works, the assisting with local events because you can talk where cellphones can't, the search and rescue, the nerding out about things that aren't the internet, the playing with digital modes, etc.
As a friend of one of these nerds, I liked his description of it: "imagine of you suddenly could hear a million more different notes of music. Wouldn't you be trying to find all of the music you could?"
group of old people
The radio community tend to refer to them as "elmers."
there's a larger than you might expect group of old people
There is also a larger than you would expect group of young people.on the air. /r/amateurradio
We used to do this with ham radios and CBs in the 50s and 60s. Rather like an early Reddit, except voice instead of text.
radio.garden/live/ is a neat website that performs similarly and is free. Although it is not nearly as extensive as what OP is talking about.
So this is live internet radio plus recordings on the globe? I'm on the site but there's no explanation.
Local stations, some ems/police radio channels.
How else will we find all the parts of the Machine?

Holy shit this is by far the most fascinating in this thread, I had no idea anything close to this existed. Thanks!
Yeah for sure. I used this in my electrical engineering communications class. It might take a little bit to setup but it's pretty cool.
Edit: I'm surprised this comment is upvoted so strongly so I feel bad lol. Check out my later comments in this thread if you want to know more of the EE side of things.
Can you explain how exactly it works? I am a bit confused
Basically (and I may butcher this) a typical radio like your car has can only pick up or tune to a set range of frequencies or stations as you are familiar with. They range from 80 something mhz to 107 something mhz. You can't tune your car radio outside of that. What a software defined radio does is what it sounds like, the limits are defined by software, as such you may set the range to be whatever you want within the limits of your particular SDR and antenna anyway.
This is correct :). To get a bit more specific, the USB stick that allows for SDR was designed in a way to pick up all frequencies and pass them through. It was made generically enough so software on your PC controls it by analyzing the signals coming in and stripping it properly.
What I did in my communications class is get into the nitty gritty of how a signal is analyzed and stripped or generated. For example, your car radio is capable of FM. In the FM spectrum, you have a range of frequencies. Let's take 92.5 MHz. That is your carrier frequency. So if you listen to 92.5 MHz with a radio, you'll hear music or whatever the radio station is playing. Your radio does this via analog design meaning pure hardware. No code needed.
For the SDR, the USB stick used picks up the signal and your PC does the translation instead. So it will do computations based on if it is FM or AM, if you want stereo or mono, if you want some equalizer effects applied, etc.
Now here is the kicker, your car radio is designed ONLY for a specific set of ranges. This is due to design. Because why give you the ability to listen to everything when the consumer only wants to hear music? Or talk radio? So they restrict to AM and FM frequencies. The SDR picks of ALL signals and you filter it using software. So it's like "Hey, I don't know what you want so here is all of it and you decide what to do with it". Whereas the car radio has a specific hardware design that will tune. Old radios would adjust a capacitor value by turning the tune knob. So you're physically changing the hardware setup.
Now for SDR to work, it is a hacked job. The radios used were made such a way that they just so happened to just give you all signals. So someone found this out, developed software that interfaces with it (I used a Linux distro called Gnu Radio), and now you're able to play with all the data. Any way you way you want.
Edit: if you want to get more into the electrical/comm portion I'd be more than happy to explain. Like how the signal is generated, propogated, decoded, etc. It was fun and a lot of math involved.
/u/snakeproof /u/molo1134
Thanks for the answers! I get it now
Glad to help!
Can you explain how exactly modulation takes place ?
In what way? Mathematically or physically? Physically it's done using math and using components that represent those mathematical operations. Check this link and let me know if it answers your question or let's you be able to hone in on what you're specifically asking.
http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/rf-technology-design/am-amplitude-modulation/theory-equations.php
Edit: so I talked to /u/snortmebitch privately regarding this. It was mainly about the physicality of it and how it's done via hardware. Makes sense because you learn a metric fuck ton of theory but how do you actually build it?
So the general idea is we are dealing with electromagnetic waves in the air. So think a vibrating string, like a guitar, that's moving through the air. Except it's electromagnetic. This is picked up by an antenna. An antenna is literally just a copper wire. The antenna is physically built in length in proportion to the frequencies it is designed to pick up. Higher the frequency, the smaller the antenna. That's why there is whip antennas anymore on cellphones. Or why you see very long whip antennas for CB radio. Cell phone antennas are also built in such a way that they can get around it. So the build structure of the antenna is highly important because you need to absorb as much of the signal as possible. This is a topic all on it's own called antenna design.
This antenna is then connected to electrical components. The most basic of basic receiving is the combination of an inductor and capacitor and resistor, or RLC or Tank circuit. It is designed to only allow certain frequencies to propogated through the rest of the circuit. So usually the R is some load like a speaker or something, the L is an inductor which is usually stays the same, and C is the capacitor which is adjusted to the frequency you want to listen to. So in a previous comment I mentioned that when you adjust the tune knob, you're adjusting an adjustable capacitor that has two plates that move. The RLC circuit will have what's called a Resonant Frequency associated with it. This would be your carrier frequency since you want it to resonate when it feels the carrier frequency come through.
Now you need to do some filtering. The RLC tank strips the carrier frequency and what is left is the modulating frequency. Theoretically what you're doing is multiplying two cosines together by stripping one of the frequencies. By multiplying two cosines of the same frequency, you're left with 1 plus reduced amplitudes of the modulated signal . Which means you're left with the modulated signal which is the audio you hear from a radio. This multiplication operation is what the RLC circuit does if you perform circuit analysis on the RLC. This involves LaPlace and what not. So this theory is what I learned in my communications class. But none of the hardware, I had to make that connection myself. Usually this is Electronic Circuits involving opamps, mosfets, bjts, diodes, etc.
But because you did this, you're left with frequencies on the lower and upper spectrum. This is why when you adjust a radio, it always goes up by .2. You have to account for this otherwise if you go in the middle, you hear two stations. This is called Aliasing and a HUGE part of signal and systems theory (ie: Nyquist rate)
Now apply a low pass filter. This is so you get only that audio that you're supposed to hear. Typically AM transmit audio I think around up to 8 kHz. So you make a low pass filter that cuts off at 8 kHz using an OpAmp and some resistors. That's why AM radio sounds kinda bad. To give perspective, the human ear can hear up to around 22 kHz.
But because the amplitude, or more known as "volume" for audio, is reduced you have to have a general amplifier. So make an amplifier with an Operational Amplifier (OpAmp) with a gain of 2 to cancel the half amplitude cut. Now you made a radio capable of receiving radio waves.
tl;Dr: you pick up wiggly waggly things you can't see, touch, or hear in the air but is felt by copper wires. Then you use your magic pixie knowledge to mess with the signal.
if you want to get more into the electrical/comm portion I'd be more than happy to explain. Like how the signal is generated, propogated, decoded, etc. It was fun and a lot of math involved.
Please do, but with as little math as possible. :)
What do you want to know?
Everything.
Check my other comments. I've given an overview. The subject matter is incredibly dense so stating "everything" is the equivalent of wanting to know how electricity works at the lowest level. That's years worth of physics.
I know, I was being facetious. ☺
(and I may butcher this)
No, you were spot on. To add, you can have your computer process digital things too, which your car radio can't.
Basically think of doing direct sampling of the radio spectrum, just like your sound card does direct sampling of the audio spectrum. These devices give you a couple MHz of sampling bandwidth. Once you have the RF spectrum as samples in software, you can do AM or FM or whatever decoding in software.
The devices include a tuner and mixer which will let you change the operating frequency from 25 MHz up to 1.8 GHz. So you can get 2-3 MHz bandwidth of huge swathes of the VHF and UHF spectrum.
I tried a few times and almost had it. Could never get the trunking to work.

Holy fuck. I used to think of doing this with broken receivers as a kid, but ofc I was a kid so I didn't know where to start, and my dreams eventually faded away. Now this.
God bless you my man
Actually go through with it and get into it man. Everyone could use another hobby, and if you wanted to do it as a kid, you'll probably really enjoy it.
Actually get into it, don't just say "wouldn't that be nice?" Like most people do with things.

I will. Cheers!
Also, this is pretty much exactly how Richard Feynman (Nobel prize-winning nuclear physicist) started out his entire science career.
Interesting. How?
It's been a while since I read Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! but I think there was a chapter where he, as a child, wired his grandpa's house up with a speaker system; he also created a radio from some electrical components he bought and used his homemade radio to listen to some shows from WGEN an hour before (in Philly or so, idk) the actual broadcast in their town
I really hate this.. I think about my childhood and my genuine interest in really cool topics and adults never took the time to really show me where and how
Same here. Can't blame them. Now when we have independence, we're free to pursue our interests the way we want :)
Maybe it won't be our main career path, but still. No doors are closed as long as you're alive :)

Featured Projects and Tutorials - this site has writeups and links of most everything I mentioned. Check the menu. You can also search this subreddit's posts. Reddit search sucks, so try a custom Google search with
site:reddit.com/r/RTLSDR radio astronomy
for example.
You reminded me, when I was a kid I had an old dual cassette radio boombox thing. If you turned the tuner all the way to the left and forced it a bit, it would spring back and make a noise similar to having a phone too close to a speaker. I kept doing this one day and I swear it sounded like someone answered, I probably just caught some very faint radio channel, but it freaked me right the fuck out. I unplugged the radio and stashed it in my toy chest.
Also used to have a walkie talkie and if you touched the antenna to a lamp post you could pick up some chatter.
You just reminded me of when I was 15 and playing around with my electric guitar and a bunch of effects pedals- a random (but hard to tune in on) combination of Wah-Wah pedal and delay and I was picking up on the local radio station somehow
This is exactly what I did! We use FM modulation over here, and nobody uses AM. So I used to snoop around the frequencies in AM looking to catch something. I swear I once caught some conversation like a pilot talking to a control center once in a language I didn't understand.
This was during our country's civil war, and I was really young, so I freaked out and switched it off. I never told anyone, and I was never able to get that transmission again. That's where it all began :))
I live below a flight path for large military planes in the us. Is it legal for me to listen to their communication in this manner?
There is nothing illegal about listening to broadcasts on public airwaves. It's transmitting on frequencies you are not licensed to that will land you in a world of shit.
Generally if there is something they don't want unauthorized persons to hear, they will be encrypted anyway. However, the pilots themselves will likely be unencrypted as well as ADS-B data (position, flight number, etc). Mostly because they still have to be able to operate around and communicate with civilian aircraft and ATC. Civilian and military collisions have taught them they have to be aware of each other.
Edit: ABS-B, not ATSB lmao.
There are some frequency ranges that are (or at least were, the last time I had to care about it, which was about 20 years ago) illegal for most people to listen to in the US. Specifically, the ranges that were used for analog cellular communications. Fortunately, nobody is going to catch you and nobody's using them for their original purpose anymore, anyway.
State laws might apply, too. For example, it was, at least at one time, illegal for most individuals to have police scanners in their vehicles in the state of Indiana. This one's also mostly moot, as the larger agencies have all moved to digital trunk systems.
The AMPS listening law is still on the books even though the AMPS service is dead.
The scanner law is correct, in some states you're not allowed to do it in a vehicle, but they often have an exemption for licensed ham radio operators. If this is a concern for you, check your local laws and get a ham radio license (not hard). As for digital trunk systems, there are scanners that will decode those as long as they are not encrypted. Cheers.
I made a purposeful decision to leave the ham radio bits out of my comment, for the sake of simplicity. I've had a license since 1984, when it really was reasonably hard to get one, which is really the only reason I know any of this to begin with.
Yeah, trips to the FCC field office for morse tests are not my idea of fun. To those unfamiliar, they got rid of that system in 2008. For anyone interested, come by /r/amateurradio some time. 73

Been there done that! All you really need is decoder (i.e., some Motorola protocol, etc etc) and antenna to listen in on the frequency.
It was...... Interesting to listen in.... Personal information flying over the unencrypted channel (SSN!!!) ... Mundane requests.... People jumping off the roof..... Yeah...
You need two of them for a lot of systems; I managed to get Unitrunker to work on San Francisco's Motorola Type II system with a pair of RTL-SDRs, but it was a royal pain in the ass.
SSN isn't private information.
If it isn't a private information for you, would you mind sharing yours to the public?
Unfortunately, that would probably still violate Reddit rules.
Banks and such shouldn't use SSNs to verify identity. It's horrible security and an abuse of a code designed for one specific purpose.
All financial institutions are required by law to use SSN.... To identify you... In order for government to track your earnings...
SSN is personally identifiable information... IT IS PRIVATE INFORMATION
It's not supposed to be.
Even if it wasn't used as any sort of weird password/username hybrid by a lot of organizations it'd still be a unique identifying number and thus PID and should be encrypted.
I think it should be handled and used (if used at all) like a username or email address. That means a recognition that it is public info and must not be used to verify anything.
Yes I agree
The encryption wouldn't be necessary though.
It's still a uniquely identifying number though. Think of it this way, if you wouldn't want them throwing your full name and birthday around an unsecured system, then they shouldn't do it with other uniquely identifying info. And I wouldn't want my info being throw around on police blotter without encryption.
My birthdate is June 3, 1996, and my full name is Skylar Ittner.
If you can get into my bank account with just that, you deserve the $100 in there.
You know that personal information is protected for more reasons than just financial. Like I'm pretty sure medical information is useless for anything other than medical use but it's still private.
Yeah, that's a good point. Forgot that that some local laws may have certain exemptions. But it's pretty much unenforceable. Or in the case of the phone example, rendered obsolete because of encryption.
Do you mean the scanner in cars law is unenforceable? Because being pulled over with a scanner visible can happen, and cops generally know what a scanner is.
Well sure, because you are operating the scanner in a place that is clearly defined as illegal. It's not the fact that you are listening to the scanner that's illegal. It's that you are operating the scanner in a motor vehicle. There is a difference.
But it's also one of those laws that are pretty much obsolete. You can do the same opening a stream from a smartphone. I assume that's also "illegal" but would be virtually undectable unless you aren't allowed to have a phone powered on at all.
There might still be some laws in the books in various jurisdictions, but realistically this is nearly impossible to enforce unless they actually catch you tuning in on your radio.
If you're not meant to hear it these days, it's almost definitely on an encrypted digital signal.
So is it possible to creep on my neighbors and hear cell phone convo?
In the UK under the Wireless Telegraphy Act, it is illegal to listen to wireless communications that you are not the intended recipient of.
This means it is illegal to listen to something like ATC, unless you need to.
...but generally impossible to prove, and not actually enforced, like a great deal of UK law that's not actually rigorously applied. Don't be an idiot and you won't get caught quietly listening without transmitting.
Now, if you bought a more expensive SDR that could transmit and started fucking around irresponsibly, you'd make the front pages (cyberhacker tries to crash airliners!) and get put away for a loooong time. But these are receive-only. Nobody's gonna know that you're silently picking up the radio energy broadcast all around us
I've never seen a pregnant woman relive herself in a policeman's hat, not yet, but I am waiting.
In the same way that you're allowed (aloud?) to hear anything that you're within earshot of, but there are quite a lot of things you could shout out that would get you in trouble.
Nobody's gonna know that you're silently picking up the radio energy broadcast all around us
Not true is many cases. If you are using any kind of receiver with a local oscillator, it is possible to find you by listening for your LO frequency with a decent receiver. Sounds like some 007 spy stuff? Well it was/is a commonly used counter espionage tool.
True, there's a lot of debate around this in the UK concerning "TV detector vans" (all households who watch TV are supposed to buy a license - this is a historic anachronism, but the money is directly used to fund the BBC's work without ads). The general consensus seems to be that it's technically feasible if you have a statecraft-level budget, but that the vans TV Licensing claim to have wouldn't work reliably for precision mass surveillance, and they're mostly a scare tactic rather than a serious electronic tool.
So yeah, long story short while it can be done, the British state doesn't actually care enough to waste resources on going out to do it. We have so many laws that just aren't enforced in real life at all...
I don't honestly know what a local oscillator is, is that the crystal in the receiver?

Back when TV was analog over the air, it was very trivial to detect if there was a television turned on and to what channel it was tuned. A couple hundred quid would do for a setup. Hell, you could do it now for around 50 if you had a laptop. Just add an rtlsdr dongle and build a cheap directional antenna.
But is the local oscillator in an RTL-SDR powerful enough to be detected from the street? Even then, it's not illegal to own one, you could just be using it for TV or shortwave radio. Here in the UK it's only illegal to actually tune to "non-public" frequencies (whatever that means, since it's not my fault they forgot to encrypt their shit).
Sure you could detect the 28.8 MHz oscillator signal, not that useful though, all you could really do is say "probably a dtv-b dongle in that house". My point is that detecting a receiver is a trivial, inexpensive thing to do and doesn't require a government agency level of resources.
Got it, thanks for improving my understanding.
Glad to help. Have an interesting fact; during WW2, the Germans were known to listen for receiver local oscillators. So, Allied soldiers built "foxhole" crystal receiver sets, which lack a local oscillator, and we're able to listen to broadcast radio without giving up their position.
That's about as enforceable as a ban on masturbation.
Or since we are talking about the UK: face sitting.
to which we protested by face sitting outside the houses of parliament because fuck you i won't do what you tell me.
Your rage against this machinery is pleasantly recognized
Is it really illegal to sit on someone's face in the UK?
it is illigal, along with female orgasms (because itsa pee apparently, and not the greatest love necter out there) to produce porn with a few specific obscene acts now here.
Thy can take my life, but they can never take my face sitting.
That's only banned when being filmed, at which part you're necessarily have the evidence.
That's dumb. That's akin to making it illegal to hear a conversation between two people shouting on the street.
Not really if you think about it. Anyone can hear a conversation, not every is informed of where and when a broadcast is going to be given. Whilst you can argue it's on a somewhat public medium, the law says otherwise.
I can't really know where and when people will start shouting. Unless I'm the cause of the shouting.
Thanks for all the downvotes but the point I was badly trying to say was that in the UK at least the conversation/broadcast is intended for a specific listener(s). Anyone else listening is doing so illegaly. You can downvote me all you like but that's a fact.
Yeah and the point you are missing is that radio waves go out into the public domain just like sound waves. So if you don't make it illegal for people to overhear voice conversations that they weren't the recipient of, which would be ridiculous, then radio should be the same. We aren't arguing the currently legality, we're arguing the principle the law should be based on.
The point you are missing is that it's illegal in the UK. You can talk as much as you like, but it's illegal. I'm not arguing the legality of it, I'm stating the legality of it.
Which is completely irrelevant to the discussion and has already been stated. We've already moved passed what is and are talking about what should be.
In the US it's definitely fine to listen to unencrypted broadcasts. It's like someone yelling into a megaphone with a range of several hundred miles, if you don't want someone listening, encrypt it.
Radar detectors are illegal in many states. It doesn't make sense that knowing when someone is transmitting is illegal.
By many, you mean like two.
I assumed it was more because I'm familiar with one of the two.
And the other one is not even a state, it's DC.
Is Virginia really one of the only states that has this?
That one case is protectionist BS brought about by law enforcement not wanting people to know when they're out. Really, I can't believe those laws haven't been ruled unconstitutional. It's the equivalent of shining a flashlight at cars, and you're not supposed to be allowed to see the beam, really, BS.
Are you sure? Ham radio, and occasional SDR user here. In most regions it is permitted to receive any communications as long as the "protected" contents are not unlawfully decrypted, and none of the content is divulged, repeated or released to another party. Maybe TIL?
I think you're thinking of US law. UK law is on the books but I've not heard of it being enforced.
Confirmed. Rarely enforced unless it is used to commit an offense.
48Interception and disclosure of messages
(1)A person commits an offence if, otherwise than under the authority of a designated person— (a)he uses wireless telegraphy apparatus with intent to obtain information as to the contents, sender or addressee of a message (whether sent by means of wireless telegraphy or not) of which neither he nor a person on whose behalf he is acting is an intended recipient, or (b)he discloses information as to the contents, sender or addressee of such a message. (2)A person commits an offence under this section consisting in the disclosure of information only if the information disclosed by him is information that would not have come to his knowledge but for the use of wireless telegraphy apparatus by him or by another person.
The U.K. fuckin' sucks. Sorry your life is over-regulated and shitty.
It's actually pretty chill as fuck, none of this silly law is ever enforced or used for the most part. I've even heard of policemen turning a blind eye to weed, although that was admittedly very surprising. Nobody is in prison for /r/RTLSDR.
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet! - hell, just because something could technically be prosecuted, doesn't mean anybody can actually be arsed to investigate it.
This is so true. I doubt anyone cares about enforcing it. My local flying club have a scanner listening to ATC on in their clubroom.
I'm assuming you're an American which makes your comment hilariously backward. Compared to the US, the UK is a very free and permissive society.
If a nobody with $2 can listen in to classified chatter, your nation is screwed!
I expect it's very encrypted.
This is great
They should be and probably are encrypted so you should have nothing to worry about. I could be wrong though.
[deleted]
what about uncivil planes
They use a more explosive form of communication with those.
Top secret, I can tell you but they will know.
[deleted]
Hey that's pretty clever! I wonder how the receiving device would work
INAL, but opsec is on them.
Navy avionics tech here
Anything you shouldn't be hearing will be encrypted. What you do hear will be V/UHF transmissions on an unencrypted channel and will most likely be ATC chatter anyways, no need to worry.
iirc radio waves are considered public property in the US, so listening should be 100% OK
There should be nothing illegal about you passively detecting radio waves that bombard your house
good to know. there planes are annoying and loud I should be able to listen
Yes. Perfectly. I have a number of scanners laying about that were purpose bought for listening in. Of course nowadays a lot of larger cities use trunking for their services and most have gone to digital with encryption, but in rural areas you can still listen to most services. What isn't legal would be modifying your equipment to listen in on cell phone conversations which are also digital and encrypted and aforementioned digital encrypted comms, but I doubt anyone has the equipment to perform this. Listening to unencrypted comms is perfectly legal, even with military. You usually needed a higher end scanner to be able to tune into them for instance like a Realistic Pro-2006. You could even buy a book with all of the public frequencies listed for your area (Police Call by Radio Shack).
[deleted]
Forgive me as scanners as a hobby has taken a real decline for me since most services around me went to trunking and then to encrypted comms, and I don't have a SDR (yet). Wouldn't you need the key to de-crypt these? And all of this is merely out of curiosity. I remember when cell freq were analog and the way the law prevented people from listening in was to mandate that scanners block those particular frequencies. Any SDR's you would recommend while I have you?
[deleted]
Well there you go. Not that I am planning on this particular activity, but the whole SDR might just get me back into the hobby. It really was fun to sit around and listen to everything going on around you, but it seems scanners have more and more dead air, especially if you didn't keep up with trunking, digital, etc. Sounds like SDR and associated programs might be making this equivalent to the old analog days. Off to google. Thanks!
Yes, in the US you can listen to any radio spectrum.
However, in some states, there are laws about having a radio scanner capable of listening to police frequencies in a moving vehicle. There is usually an exemption for licensed ham radio operators, however.
In the 80's we had an older couple upstairs from us and the husband did this and gave me my interest in it. It blew my kid mind to hear what pilots were saying. He taught me a lot of stuff and it been a part of my life since.
Listening is fine, you're generally not allowed to make money from anything you hear.
I used to think that meant like insider trading or blackmail or something equally exotic and black hat and James Bond-ish.
In practice it prevents tow truck drivers and ambulance-chasing attorneys from listening to the police scanner for accidents so they can get to the scene first and take advantage of the disoriented.
It's like being in a room where other people are having a conversation. Maybe eavesdropping is rude but you won't get in trouble.
Yes, just don't talk about it.
I live only a few miles from one of the largest military air bases in the country... This could be interesting.
Great question! I live right next to several military complexes. Thanks for asking!
its very anoying. I get a lot of 4 engine planes flying over. Did not know about this when moving. Only here for a year though.
Military planes would be encrypted. IF you pick up anything it would sound like fast paced beeps.
ask cnn
No, its kinda like that Firefly thing "Cant Stop The Signal" its all public, unencrypted and frankly pretty boring. the most you will likely hear is just landing clearances or position reports, nothing exciting
It may be legal to listen to, but not profit from it. For example, listening to the police for yourself is ok, listening as a journalist may not be. There is a tons of journalist that still do it and never got into any issue.

Unless something changed in the last 5 minutes it is definitely described in their about section.
rtl-sdr
"rtl-sdr" is a generic term for cheap USB digital TV (DVB-T) receivers that use the Realtek RTL2832U chipset, which can function as general purpose software defined radios (receive only). All rtl-sdr compatible devices employ the RTL2832U as an ADC and USB controller, but different RF tuners may be used. Note that rtl-sdrs do not transmit!
ELI5
RTLSDR is really two short acronyms put together, RTL and SDR. The RTL part isn't an acronym but stands for Realtek, the company making the radio receiver and the SDR stands for software defined radio which I believe just means you can use a computer to control what types of radio waves the receiver picks up.
Why is it RTL and not RLT?
Because it doesn't actually stand for RealTek. It's referring to the receiver that uses the Realtek RTL2832U chipset.
though I think most(all?) Realtek radios start with RTL. (at least,that's what I saw when doing wifi stuff.)
My guess would be that RTL stands for "RealTek something". Maybe "RealTek Licensed" or something else that starts with an L.
ELI3 pls :/
"RTL" is the physical thing doing the thing and "SDR" is "Software Defined Radio" so the acronym is "(equipment) software defined radio"
Thanks for posting that. Some of us have no idea what any of this is.
No problem, I barely know but figured I'd try putting it in different words to see if it helped any 👍
Still too long.
RTLSDR = Realtek RTLxxxxx Software Defined Radio
But why is it not RLT?
Realtek named the chip "RTL2832u" - maybe they'll tell you why RTL and not RLT. :]
[deleted]
I've always seen RTL on the ID's of Realtek products. Probably their maker ID.
You know if you wait 2-3 hours after waking up to consume your first cup, it will take you farther through the day.
2-3 hours farther, I'll bet.
You gotta let your brain clear the adinosine, so that the coffee can properly block the reception rather than simply flooding your body with caffine raising your heartrate and such
so, wait until you're fully awake and then you'll just...be awake and caffeinated?
idk it was an askreddit.
RTL in electronics terms generally mean resistor transistor logic. Don't know whether the same applies here
No, in this case it's referencing a chipset made by a company called "Realtek", the abbreviation of the model number starts with "RTL".
Wouldn't an abbreviation for realtek be RLT?
It's more likely that "RT" is for Realtek and "L" is for the specific series or style of chip. They also have "RTM", "RTD", "RTS", etc. model numbers if you look at their product catalog.
In my line of work it means register transfer level
This guy telecomms.
Mmhmm.. Yeah, okay.. uh huh. Yeah, I know some of these words.
Which ones don't you know?
The acronyms? DVB-T is already explained, RTL2832U is just a model name. You know what USB is, and RTL-SDR is "RTL" (from the realtek model name + "Software Defined Radio").
Sorry. I'm very tired and got scared, and memes are my defense mechanism. I'm going to invest some time into fully understanding everything, don't worry.
I've never felt more stupid about not understanding an explanation than I did reading this :(
RealTek omg early 90s me just had a stroke
I read it as "Really Too Long So Didn't Read"
RTL - Realtek
SDR - Software Defined Radio
I had to discern this from a couple different comments. That sidebar info wasn't very helpful.
That was written years ago and never intended for a massive audience like this. It's been updated now, the modteam figured this was a good time for an overhaul!
Sdr is "software defined radio." That's all you really need to know. Rtl is a vendor of a radio chipset product, so it's not important. Your can Google sdr or software defined radio and find tons of information.
https://www.google.com/search?q=software+defined+radio&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Or if you forget the name of this sub toss reddit into this search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=software+defined+radio&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=software+defined+radio+reddit
its the top result.
Realtek R820T/T2, that is the tuner inside the dongles.
The T2 have a slightly better performances, a tiny bit of signal gain and a bit less of noise, Nothing major.
Realtek makes the chip.
It's not an acronym... ac·ro·nym ˈakrəˌnim/Submit noun an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g., ASCII, NASA ).
[deleted]
Since you asked nicely... Please forgive my pedantry. Acronyms vs. abbreviations is one of my [many] pet peeves.
[deleted]
I wash my pedantry every Kwanza
really too long; seriously didn't read
Apparently you can decode all iridium telephone calls and text messages using rtl-sdr, the right software, and the right antenna. There's a pretty cool video about it on YouTube. None of the transmissions are encrypted and use "security through obscurity", which obviously didn't work.
Edit: video I saw https://youtube.com/watch?v=cvKaC4pNvck - hour long
iridium may be possible, I do not know. But considering it is an old technology that may not support encryption or a very weak one then it might be possible.
As for cellular network, as far as I know it is not possible to get call or text as they are both using encrytion, but who knows, maybe there is a vulnerability...
There is a reason why the police use fake cell tower instead of just listening to the airwave....
There's no "may be possibly" with iridium - the video I linked has sample calls and texts they decoded.
there is a ton of fake video on youtube. I saw a video about P25 being cracked within 5 minutes. P25 use a strong encryption, strong enought for millitary use. It was of course fake.
Until they release the code or even part of the code or tell which tool they use, consider it to be quite probably fake.
If it's on the gsm network you can use the 3TB Berlin rainbow table to crack encryption for text messages
So THIS is what the people I'm playing as in Need for Speed have. No wonder I can always hear the cops conversation.
Those are just police scanners, my wife has a couple of them. They mostly don't work anymore because police departments are using different technology that isn't broadcast openly and unencrypted. Google "home scanner" and you should be able to find like a 20 band one for under 20 bucks if you want to try. Radio shack made tons of them.
police departments are using different technology that isn't broadcast openly and unencrypted.
Probably P25, depending on where you live. Sometimes it may be unencrypted due to bad setting up.
I dunno here but they specifically stopped last year when we had a serial killer loose and he kept not being where they were going to find him. My wife and I subscribe to nixle.us for alerts that matter to us now.
It probably wouldn't have been a result of that, changing comms takes time and planning. Especially with integrating into other emergency service systems.
They specifically told everybody through TV news and newspapers that they were stopping it because of the serial killer.
Huh, interesting. Presumably it was already in the works.
Being Alaska, we pretty much don't do things the way they're done everywhere else, and having lived here my entire life, I'd say that's extremely doubtful. They literally realized that broadcasting where they were going to pick up a serial killer wasn't working when they got there and the guy wasn't there and had obviously just left, and pieced it together that he had a police scanner app on his phone. I mean, I believe that was very close to the actual public statement.
They did a fine job of putting together a bust of all the known Oxycontin dealers in a single week, which pretty damn predictably converted every single Oxy addict into a heroin addict by the end of the next week and accidentally instantly installed actual cartels here instead of shady people on disability with lax doctors getting extra pills prescribed. Good fucking job guys. Now we have 10 times the overdoses since you knew how much and what was in an Oxy.
My grandad was a trucker loves messing around on his radio. I don't know much about it but I helped him set up his antenna its huge. Like 40 feet tall and he lives on top of a big hill. I'm gonna assume he knows nothing about this. I'm gonna have to show him this now.
He might be on CB, or he might have an amateur radio (ham radio) license. /r/cbradio /r/amateurradio
Connect that big antenna to this thing if you want to get some good signals.
I'm going to look into it more. I believe he is CB to keep up with his trucker buddys. He was on the road 30 years before retiring. I feel like this would blow his mind.
Show him this: http://i.imgur.com/gtKvhsk.png
Can see signals on all the CB bands at once -- and I don't even have a CB antenna (but I do have some RFI (interference) problems, so this isn't very clean).
Will do. Thank you it'll give me something cool to talk about with him when I go out there this weekend.
You have Radio Frequency Interference Interference?
Yes, from the ATM machine next door. Every time someone puts in a PIN number, its RFI interference all over the bands. :/
By 40ft you probably mean the tower. The actual antenna is most likelly smaller. However if it is indeed a 40ft tall antenna then it is not CB but HAM radio. 40ft antenna, if it is a monopole antenna that would be the 40 ot 60 meter band, if a dipole it would the 20 or 30M band. CB is the 11 meters (36ft), which would mean a monopole "whip" of about 9ft, or a dipole of 18ft...
A monopole is 1/4 wavelenth, which is what the 'meter' is, basically they decided to talk about the wavelength (thru antenna length) instead of frequency range... A dipole is basically two monopole end to end, like a T, where the vertical is the cable, and the horisontal is the two antenna elements...
So, it is possible that it is indeed an huge antenna, but most likelly an antenna tower...
Well its a tower thats 40 feet with a big antenna up top that has several rods coming out it in different directions. As you can tell I'm clueless about this stuff but as I look over on top of these buildings they have very similar towers/antennas on top of them. All I know is I helped him put it up and anchor it down.
Was it all on the sides? or a vertical with some horisontal? If all on the side then it is most likelly a yagi or a log periodic antenna.
Log per is very common with TV as it have a directivity, so have gain, and is wide band, so get a wide frequency rance, which is needed for tv.
Verticle with like 6 others coming out horizontal. Wish I could just draw it lol
One vertical and 6 horisontal, like a star...
quarterwave ground plane antenna. The vertical is the antenna, the horisontal is the ground. Basic omnidirectional antenna.
Could I get an RTL-SDR TL;DR?
Plug in a $20 (or less) USB dongle with free software. Listen to ham radio, airplanes, and more. Use better antennas and more complex (but still free) software and listen to thinks like satellite phone calls.
A basic receive only antenna is easy to make as it do not have to be matched, so errors is tolerable and will only make it get a bit less signal.
A crude way: take a coax, separe the shield from the center conductor, to make 2 wires, Fold in T, trim each side to 1/4 wavelength. A formula is: feet = 234 / MHz, for a 850MHz antenna you would do 234/850 = about 3.3inch
Try vertical and horisontal. If horisontal turn it, one position may get the signal better. Some transmitter use a vertical polarisation, other horisontal. In other words, they put the antenna vertically or horisontally. Match for better receive strength.
The radiation pattern look like a donut with the element in the hole. Vertically it radiate all around the same way but not much on top and bottom, like a donut on a table would look like... Rotate horizontally and now the donut is on it's side.
Don't be scared of trying to build some antenna. Since it is a receive only you can't break anything.
If you do install an antenna outside, take care about lightning...
I have one of these but I think I have a shitty antenna because I can't seem to catch anything except regular fm
[deleted]
Got any tips on making a good enough antenna at home or where I can buy a cheap one?
Wideband? Try a discone or a log periodic. If you're looking for a particular band, then there are other options. What is your budget?
I made a cheap antenna out of 2 pizza pans and a wood plank. Just attach the pizza pans to the plank with a small gap between them. Then solder a cable in that gap connecting the pans. It's called a planar disk antenna and is very good for general purposes.
http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/PlanarDiskAntennas.pdf
There are plans online to build any sort of antenna you want, look for articles from QSL or ARRL. Are you trying to listen to anything in particular, or just see what's out there? Is the thing you want to hear in a certain direction from home (like idk, ships in a port 5 miles north) or all around you (like, all the fire departments in your county)? That will help figuring out what kind of antenna. It can be kinda annoying to build a good one.
If you are on a hill or the top floor of a building, you might not need much for an antenna. There are some that you can just buy for under $30 or so, but to know which will depend on what you want to listen to.
The standard 6" antenna is total junk. First, it lack a ground plane. The washer they used is way too small. Then the 6" is good for the 800-900MHz range. That range start to get absorbed easilly by any obstacles, so don't work too well indoor. FM radio is so strong that even if the antenna is junk it can still pick it up.
If you can, get an adapter and get a better antenna and put it on the roof.
Except that the antenna that come with those dongles are total junk. If you want to hear anything then get or make another antenna!
Or make many!
One of the issue with radio is that there is no all purpose antenna that is good at everything. An antenna will mostly pick up the frequency range it was designed for, and the more you go away from it the more deaf the antenna become. Or it just pick up so much noise that it make the signal useless.
For example, one good antenna for scanning is a discone, basically it's a cone with a disc on top of it. The advantage is that it is extremelly broad in it's frequency responce, but that's about it. It pick up a ton of noise and isn't great at any frequency. BUT it pick up a very wide frequency range. Mine is good for 100-1000MHz.
I made a more specialised antenna, a moxon, to catch the tv channel 10. That antenna is a narrow band with some gain (about +5db). It is technically unsuitable for more than one channel, but due to the fact that the other channels are extremelly powerfull (and mostly more powerfull as it go up in frequency by pure chance), it work wonderfull to get the weak channel 10 and the powerfull other channels (which does suffer greatly, but still very good signal).
I also have a yagi antenna, which is very directional, and narrow band. That one have an high gain (+15db), which is very good for the weak signal on a narrow frequency band.
I also started going in the HF range, like the 40meters, and even went bellow the 80 meters.
What the meters is? it's the length in air of one cycle, which is roughtly the speed of light divided by the frequency. The reason why they use that is because an antenna size is proportional to the wavelength, the wavelength depend on the frequency. So, to catch 'perfectly' the 40 meters band with a quarterwave antenna, you need 1/4 of the wavelength, or a 10 meters long antenna!
/r/RTLSDR has a welcome post that could greatly benefit from the kind, friendly explanations of someone like yourself for all the newcomers: https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/6n9hdk/welcome_new_visitors_a_little_info_about_rtlsdr/
Really Too Long; Still Didn't Read
Wow, that's a fascinating hobby
Wow, thank you for posting this! I've been thinking about something that could receive a bunch of radio frequencies for quite some time, but never knew where to look. This look really interesting!
You mean I no longer have to rely on detecting radio signals with my braces?
After 60 years, I can finally have my braces removed! Huzzah!
I've just recently gotten into SDR and it's really cool! Anyone with a computer that turns on can build a full working setup with no more than $50, probably less. And it's not as tricky as you'd think. I'd highly recommend it
Your post is a little misleading, its $25 not $2
The absolute cheapest on Aliexpress or other Chinese sites won't specifically mention SDR, they'll be sold as DVB-T tuners for TV. Those really can be as cheap as $2, especially when thousands of redditors aren't trying to buy simultaneously thus spiking demand ;) But the bottom line is that the absolute cheapest might or might not be compatible with the RTL-SDR drivers. Check the chipset carefully and if it's (RTL2832U), you are in business.
I was being a bit misleading when I said "$2 dongle", that's the absolute cheapest Aliexpress option, but c'mon we are talking petty amounts of cash here and the $25 version has higher quality components so it'll work better.
IMO spending a little more money for something that definitely works is a good idea if you can afford to. $25 is nothing compared to the costs of many hobbies, including most amateur radio kit. If you wanna get one for less than $5, it's definitely possible direct from China. I can help - just PM me for advice on compatibility or post in the stickied thread in the subreddit
I see, you're a good person, thanks for the info

Holy shit that's amazing
Do you need to know anything special for this, seems freakin awesome!
The only thing to know is that radio can be one of the cheapest or most expensive hobbies. People get by with the bare minimum, but there are others that have more and better capabilities than most police dispatch centers. It all depends on where you want to fit it.
Oh, and it's a rabbit hole. I've been interested in radio for about 15 years, do it semi-proffesionaly for 10 of those, and I am still learning things.
There's not a bunch to learn to get started. Get a rtl-sdr, plug it in, connect an antenna, and load up your SDR software of choice. Select a frequency and mode you want to listen to. That should be it.
Am I correct in assuming that the software is pretty basic? I've got a raspberry pi that I've been looking for a new project for and this seems like it would be fun to try.
The command line interface will certainly work. Depending on which model pi, the gui might be a heavy load. The main cpu-consumptive task is the FFT that produces the spectrum analysis and waterfall. Slow down the waterfall, or lower the resolution of it, and performance will improve.
Found my new hobby
Check out /r/amateurradio if you wanna broadcast too :)
Thanks but I don't really have time for that. I just want something to dink around with when my internet is down and the games on my phone have no appeal.
But, is it legal ?
Depends on your jurisdiction. In the US, yes.
How about in Canada?
AFAIK, scanners and radio receivers are not illegal to own or use in Canada, except in the following situations: 1) the commission of a crime 2) listening to telephone calls 3) decryption
Please check your local provincial laws as well.
I will make it legal.
In the US at least it is. I'm curious why that is such a common first question with radio stuff?
It can be a really good question, for example on r/Baofeng that is like the most important question people never bother to ask.
I'm curious why that is such a common first question with radio stuff?
I suspect because people think that it's something they shouldn't be able to receive. Except it's really like someone shouting into your house, with ultrasound and you need a different microphone to hear it. This is a terrible analogy.
Is there a USB tuner you recommend?
I like the rtl-sdr blog tuner. Slightly more expensive, but it is already modded for the HF frequencies, is in a sturdy case, and it's very frequency stable.
http://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/
Just bought this from Amazon. $26 and free shipping. I'm very excited!
Same. Here we go!
Enjoy, it's fun. I upgraded to a HackRF after a while, but with transmission you have to be aware of a lot more about radio, as you can get into legal issues.
Is there a beginner ready kit? Can't find nothing on their wiki
https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/2unves/rrtlsdr_is_trending_new_to_software_defined_radio/
This post might help you. I dont know the answer though
Plenty of interesting air traffic round here, and I do enjoy shortwave radio. I'll certainly mess around with this. Already ordered a kit.
Check out the "ham it up" upconverter if you want HF.
Alright, looks neat. I'm sure I'll pick one up eventually!
Site's not loading. Seems to be suffering from Reddit hug. I'll definitely check it out later though!
I had a research project in college on SDR. haven't dealt with it since then (we're talking a decade ago) but am definitely interested in reading to catch up on where the technology has gone. thanks!
You just made my year. I work on disaster response communications, and I'm VERY interested in seeing how this could be used in rural communities to receive data. I notice that you can't really emit anything with it, but still!
More expensive SDRs can transmit also. Come back to /r/RTLSDR when the hype has died down in a week or so, and the experts will help you choose an appropriate and legal solution for disaster response.
Awesome! This is my project which is directed towards rural communities, and we're definitely in the need for some cost reduction and the such. We work with mesh networks, so there are a lot of constraints, but this is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel!!
I've been on reddit for over two years and (afaik) this is the first comment I have ever actually saved. I'll be popping along there soon :)
I work with young people in care with an aim to enrich through technology. Thanks soo much. I'm gonna use this at work over the summer. Should be fun!!
Have you been further even than as to go far as even go want to do look more like?
It makes me so happy that that actually was a reference to that! Great username, friend <3
Wow the community there does not seem to be appreciating the influx of new folks. I guess that's one way to ensure they stay under the radar...
Sorry about that, it looks like things went badly for the first hour or so, it really is welcoming to beginners I promise. The post with all the negative shitty flame wars has been deleted now, and the friendly modteam has stickied this thread to answer questions from /r/askreddit visitors. Go back and give it a try again, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
This is one of those ideas that seems cool on paper, and once you have the ability to listen to everything you realize how boring it is
Depends on your attitude. I find it pleasantly mysterious.
There are actually a few sites on the internet that have web interfaces to software defined radios where you can play around like you would with a physical one. It's fun for a little while to go poke around the spectrum but the novelty wears off after a couple of hours for most people.
TBH catching 105.5 without static is enough of a benefit for me already

hello what question would you like answered I'll answer it. the main mod catseye is setting up an intro and most other information is on the sidebar.
Got any examples?
Just go and look for yourself.
Ugh, but that takes literally several clicks.
What do you expect when people come to the sub with literally just "Im new how do i do this?" Especially for something that's a huge range of topics. That'd be like going to r/sports and saying "Hi guys, I'm new. How do I sport?".
So you are saying the movies with the superhero listening to emergency calls and prompt to action are not entirely false?
It's really a case of "it depends." In some places they're encrypted these days. However (e.g. where I used to live), city police were encrypted, but rural wasn't (because that needed to interact with fire and ambulance directly more.)
You can do this will cheap guitar amps too. With enough gain and signal I could pickup FM radio.
Well a simple receiver is just an antenna + bandpass filter + amplifier + demodulator. It starts as a fairly simple circuit which is what makes it such a good hobby.
My dad does this stuff as a hobby. Talks to bunch of people across the world with his radio stuff. It's really neat.
Ham radio then? /r/amateurradio
I suppose? Im honestly not sure. Its something he started when all us kids grew up and moved out. I know its radios though haha.
That place is full of post-apocalyptic Fallout-style images like this:
http://i.imgur.com/kwl4ozA.jpg
Thanks. Now I know what my next interesting project will be.
Yup. I keep one of those in my laptop bag, just in case.
How does it feel to single-handedly make a sub popular?
I've never went and bought the equipment, but I've followed this sub for ages. So totally awesome.
Fascinating!. It's cool to see the images in there that people have gotten from satellites, but I was hoping there would be more sound taken from random walkie conversations etc. akin to cheesy private investigators in films listening in to gossip by tapping phones etc.
Posterity reply--thanks!
Thank you for this! I have already ordered mine from Amazon and paid extra for Saturday delivery. This is fascinating!
Aaaaaaaaaaaand saved
OMG I have been looking for something like this! I was recently price checking software radios and crying inside, you have made my day!
I actually found out about SDR few months ago by in a completely unrelated subreddit people talking about what they are doing on the weekend. Somebody listed Amazon links to these 20$ USB sticks that can be used a wideband radio receivers. And then I kind of fell in to a rabbit hole.
You can do all kind of cool stuff on top of listening to radio/HAM operators like tracking airplanes, receiving weather images from satellites, listening to number stations and so on. It is also really inexpensive hobby if you want, you can get the dongle for around $20 and you can build most antennas yourself with supplies from the nearest hardware store. I highly recommend to try it out if you are interested in technology/radio/homebrew stuff in general.
So where can I find one of these $2 tuners?
The subreddit mentions $5.45 ones, the cheapest I can find is about $20.
The absolute cheapest on Aliexpress or other Chinese sites won't specifically mention SDR, they'll be sold as DVB-T tuners for TV. But the bottom line is that they might or might not be compatible with the RTL-SDR drivers. IMO spending a little more money for something that definitely works is a good idea
That's so cool.
Blown away. I didn't even know a USB tuner to pick up digital TV broadcasts existed! How do I find a friend like you in real life? I am afraid the tutorial will just fly right over my head
There are DOZENS OF US!
This thread will help you lots https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/6n9hdk/welcome_new_visitors_a_little_info_about_rtlsdr/
Thank you! I was contemplating standing with a sign on street corner. My fear is that I won't understand anything I read.
Did you also visit http://www.rtl-sdr.com/about-rtl-sdr/ ? Really helpful plain English explanations
Thanks! I have subscribed and plan on reading it tonight.
This is great; thank you!
You mentioned a $2 usb tuner but on the quick start guide you linked it only has options between $15-$24. Do you have a particular model you use, or was it just a typo?

Fuck me, this is amazing. Anyone: if you need any help getting started and feel overwhelmed, get that RTL SDR Book on Amazon. Seriously. I just read it for like 30 minutes and I already understand most of the fundamentals.
Don't forget you can hack everything smart home very easily with a slightly more expensive setup.
I had so much fun taking apart my friends smart home (with his permission) when I bought my hackrf
Psst update your post add the fact that this works on android phones too!portable mall cop scanner :)
You can download one of the various apps, and plug the USB dongle in with otg adapter.
Search for rtlsdr in the play store.
I think you've just made sales of these devices spike dramatically, I know I'm buying one. $25 for that capability is the cheapest geek entertainment ever.
It's a really cool sub, but some of the people there have been real big dicks.

/r/DisneyVacation, a subreddit displaying awful WikiHow images and putting them into various contexts.
Edit: it got its name from a post on /r/CrappyDesign
Is there one for no context wikihow pics? This one is great but I love guessing where they come from
I just played this and it was great! I got the first 10 it gave me right, but then it went downhill from there. 73% on 25 questions so at least I got a C.
Edit: It keeps getting worse. 80 questions in and I'm at 58%
That's a D where I come from. They gave you the D. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How To Give Somebody The D
That's an F where I come from. Ya really feel fucked when you get em
You answered wrong on 6.75 questions?
I mistook the score for the number of questions I had answered. It only shows you how many you got right and what your percentage is so ... let me think ... 10 / 0.73 = ~13.7 so I was probably 13 or 14 questions in at the time, depending on how they round the percentage.
Edit: I'm not thinking straight. I got 73% of 25 not 10. These pictures are rotting my brain.
Everyone just ignore this comment.
yeah, after question 25 it went downhill fast for me as well, I had 95% at 20 I'm now at 27 and i'm at 81%, with some absolute bullshit ones in a row.
56/100 :/
More difficult than I thought it would be, I scored a 43%
Cs get degrees!
I think you start second guessing yourself because you think "no way can that be that easy" and BAM you get it wrong lol. I used t do this with tests at school too -_-
This is fantastic. Thank you so much.

How is it different from /r/disneyvacation?
So as a subscriber to both subreddits the difference between the two seems to be that /r/disneyvacation is just for wtf pics from wikihow and /r/wikiwhat is more about coming up with a funny title to explain the picture.
/r/wikiwhat is wikiHow pictures that look strange out of context.
Not exactly the same, but I'm sure you'd enjoy r/WTFStockPhotos
Yeah. That confusing.
One post is for a GoFundMe to get a child to DisneyLand. Guess they were confused as well.
all the weirdo subs get that. i wish i could remember but there were a few times where people stumbled into the wrong subs and everyone helped them anyway. pretty fun.
Edit: just read the comments on that. these people are a lot darker than I expected. this isn't one of those wholesome cases I mentioned.
another edit: found one of the instances I was thinking of thank to /u/cynognathus
/r/freeuse is a funny example of people getting the wrong idea but still getting help, i think the same thing has happened with /r/superbowl as well
partyofzero is a piece of shit confirmed.
/r/stalker gets pretty funny ones once every few months... we're usually not very helpful and advise them to stock on Vodka, uninstall Complete, and set the game to Master difficulty right away.
It happened in /r/freeuse once, and for a while it was the top most post in the sub. If I recall correctly it was about a woman wanting to give away something or other.

Someone post this to memeconomy
I think I saw a post on the front page of /r/MemeEconomy a while ago (because I browse that too, coincidentally) of bad WikiHow images. If I recall, I even went in the comments and linked back to /r/DisneyVacation. It seems to have been explored already.
Huh. If you like that there's a somewhat on hiatus podcast called Wiki How We Do It which is about a pair of nerds (fite me sarah) who challenge each other to do what wikihow articles say.
Wait there is another sub for the exact same thing
Do you know what it's called?
Edit: another commenter linked to it, it's /r/wikiwhat
I subscribed so hard. Thank you for that!
And subscribed.
YES, THIS ONE IS AWESOME! Damn.dog is also this but it's a guessing game.
It doesn't have the "How to run like Naruto" one in its Top so I guess that's not from there. I've never even seen that show but I find it absolutely fucking hilarious whenever I see it.

I do, have a look here
lol thanks, i saw that too, but thought there was more than just bad naming
I created this subreddit! Thanks for plugging it. I'm so glad to see this much attention.
Yeah, I can't believe how many posts there are now (which, unfortunately, does include shitposts, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
In one of my first comments i asked if there was a sub for those images, today i thank you brother
And thanks to this I found r/wheredidthesodago which is pretty awesome too
So many cool stories seem to have their origin in /r/CrappyDesign. Those guys must all be literal comedians if they have this many funny stories.

A mix tape was found with that name written on it ala Guardians of the Galaxies. It was posted to Reddit, and who knows where else. The sub came about from that once people badgered OP into sharing the contents. So it got a major bump. All the others are off shoots and naturally interest is lower because the masses did not stumble upon it like the French one.
Or because France and America have an unbreakable friendship.

It was also featured on the vlog brothers takeover of good mythical morning.
You. Are in such great shape. Beautiful.
Err. Unbreakable friendship? It's been rocky since we took over Vietnam.
France took over Viet Nam?
After WWII, Vietnam saw their opportunity to get rid of the weakened French and gain their independence in the Indochina war. The French were still a worthy opponent, and vietnam sought the support of allies. China and URSS helped the viets. French went "fuck that country", but US was like "WTF are you doing dude, you are letting the communism disease spread. I'll show you how to wage war". Then they dug themselves into a hole they where they could never win, but wouldn't loose unless they stopped throwing money and personnel into the pit. After a few years of Vietnam War they also went "Fuck that country". Officially they kind of blamed the french for letting communism take hold into Vietnam, but they also saw the wisdom in leaving vietnam the fuck alone.
No we took over from France, but apparently we're buddy buddy with them again.
The cheeses seem to be wife swapping. I think that seals some kind of deal.

Fun fact: the song came to be when Shneezin (the one in drag "jewelery" part of the video) came to the studio one morning to find their producer having made a new beat, he went into the booth and just freestyled for a bit (about wood).
His intention was to come up with better lyrics later on, but after everyone liked the idea behind the song being about wood, he just left it like that. It's a relatively old song too, it was originally supposed to be on their previous album, but they weren't really convinced of it at the time
I am so ashamed
It would be awesome if there was one for Croatia!!
This is so accurate
This just changed my life. I have been looking for exactly this. I am learning German and browse Spotify for German music but it's not easy. This is awesome.
Before I clicked on it for some reason I expected the G to stand for gay.

I don't think there's a mexican one.
There's a German one and a Finnish one though.
Went to St. Pierre once, an island just off the coast of Canada that belongs to France and everyone is very French.
To my recollection they just play the song "Sending out an SOS" over and over by some French cover band.

My keming OCD is unable to get past "upmost."
/r/mildlyinfuriating
r/ainbow and r/superbowl though
Couldn't stop laughing when I realized what you meant.
I don't get it
It's kerning, as the r and n are close together they could be mistaken for an m, that's why the sub is called keming, it's a recall to the content of the sub.
Also, r/leaves.
a sub for former stoners who hanged out at r/trees.
I dont get it.
Kerning is the practice of spacing letters next to each other proportionally in a font. Some are more pleasing than others, and some make it difficult to differentiate words and letters. So while kerning is spelled with an r and an n if it were to be poorly kerned with the r and n too close together they can look like an m. So the title of the subreddit itself is ironic as it's spelled how it would look with poor kerning.
Fuckk.... Im stupid.... But I finally get it.
Why? I'm no master of English, and that sub is very interesting, but I don't get its name..
Look up kerning
My name isn't Kerning
This rewed my engine
You're such a baler.
Knew what this would be before I clicked it
Can somebody explain the pun?
Kerning (k-e-r-n-i-n-g) refers to the spacing between letters in typography. In fonts or logos with bad kerning, letters can seem to run into each other - in this case the sub is meta-joking with the name (k-e-m-i-n-g) as though the the 'r' and 'n' have run into each other.
Man I knew it had to be something like that, just from looking at the content, but I'd never heard the word kerning before. Thanks!
If you move r too close to n, you end up with a shape of m:
rn ↔ m
Kerning (notice rn pair in the middle) in typography is a process of adjusting space between letters, so they end up looking natural. If you apply kerning to kerning incorrectly, you get keming.
Ah, that's really cool! Thanks

/r/Vxjunkies Good subreddit if you need to fix your various models of quantum inhibitors or flux splicers
This subreddit is a lifesaver. The other day my Torus-battery Linear Infuser was outputting only pi/3 deltas, while my Immelmann-compositor need four deltas minimum to function. You can never find help anywhere else on the internet, since he old VX forums closed, I think reddit has the last active VX community.
You should have just picked up the turbo encabulator instead, it's much more efficient and has a base plate of pre-famulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing. It not only supplies inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors but also is capable of automatically synchronizing grammeters. The power is generated by the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive diractiance, rather than by the relative motion of cunductors and fluxes. It will easily output pi/3 deltas and can achieve ~85% efficiency when used in conjunction with omnidirectional mounting sprockets.
Damn it's like trying to listen in on the conversation between two Rickys.
We're just mortys
Show me the Morty!
logarithmic casing
Lol
?
"logarithmic" is a mathematical concept whereby a number is multiplied by itself to a certain factor, in a base 10 system. The joke is that it's a mathematical concept, am idea, not a physical thing, and therefore " logarithmic casing" is a silly and meaningless phrase.
?
IT WILL EASILY OUTPUT PI/3 DELTAS AND CAN ACHIEVE ~85% EFFICIENCY WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OMNIDIRECTIONAL MOUNTING SPROCKETS.
I REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE, FELLOW HUMAN. I HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR GUIDELINES WHILE IMPLEMENTING AN ENHANCED SINUSOIDAL OSCILLATOR, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE YET TO SURPASS A 50% EFFICIENCY THRESHOLD AND I AM AFRAID MY 2P6T COM HAS MALFUNCTIONED. PLEASE HELP.
Man don't you just hate when that happens
Motha fuckin Rockwell automation
I'm poor though. I want the turbo encabulator but even though it's been out for decades it's insane expensive.
Guys, did you even check the dingle arm?
Stop making up words for upvotes!
All words are made up
... Oh shit

Also made up.
your lucky that in Indiana you're outputting exactly ONE delta - you should function fine as this is asymptotic.

Not to mention they give good advice not to buy the fake turbo-encabulator because I know I've made that mistake before. I just wish this information was out there before I spent the money!
Eehh.. Well! There goes my confidence 😅
"Quantum inhibitors"? Sorry but you obviously don't know your stuff here. There is no such thing as a quantum inhibitor, why would anyone want to inhibit quantum-fields? What I think you might be thinking about, is a "Quantum regulator". They make sure the isotopic quark-sugars stay stable enough to achieve full, artificial breakdown of the 5H17-type fuel in an optic "Hasselhoff" emitter.
Ah, go easy on them there, not everyone pursues VX experimentation with the same rigorousness, and layman's slang will always be a part of the hobbyist's vocabulary.
And you know as well as I do that when they say 'quantum inhibitors', what they really mean are Gelman-Hollister downspin field inverters, usually of the Lotus-OΔ configuration.
And these modules are, of course, designed to hypermodulate the virtual spang interactions of vector-divorced quanticules.
So while no force in the universe can actually inhibit quantum fields, the fields appear inhibited on older analog Metzinger screens due to the spang smearing across the 1337 to 8008132 mKev spectrum. And of course these devices are readily available, easily repaired, and quite robust, they are a usual 'My First Quanticule Screen' choice for amateur hobbyists.
Sourcing your quanticules from anti-widdershins ring gates (any variety will do though an obvious warning to the new-to-the-craft: copper ring gates may require manual decalibration) will mitigate the smearing, though not everyone has access to such equipment.

A little too short to fall asleep to though the guy's voice is very soothing and it is the grandaddy of the genre.
It's important to ensure that you have no side-fumbling. I love that video.
I've been wondering what I should podcast next.
the spang smearing across the 1337 to 8008132 mKev spectrum
I think your numbers are slightly off here. If I recall correctly, the spang smearing actually occurs across the 1337 to 8008135 mKev spectrum. A slight error sure, but at these scales and energies even small errors can cause significant abnormalities
I AM MORTIFIED!
You are absolutely right...
Reviewing my figures, I think I found the problem:
I neglected to take into account photonic inversion due to rotational displacement.
This is why highly symmetrical numbers translate elegantly, though monobalanced digits require a little more visualization.
Now I know that memorizing the 8008135 digit series is one of the most integral parts of VX engagement balancing, regretfully I have always relied on cheat sheets in the past.
Let my mistake be a lesson to all the rest of you up-and-coming VX engagerists: Memorize your axiomatic numbers, you'll never know when you'll have to utilize them without a kinesthetic digit determiner device handy to work it out manually.
Personally, I've found that older analogue Metzinger screens display a more thorough kletzeiner ratio disbursement, mitigating the drawback of increased smearing. A good, less expensive method of de-smearing compared to costly, hard-to decalibrate AWR gates is re-feeding the de-straussed Klein signal back into the superflux diodametric stabilizer. This does however introduce slight innacuracies into the high-band part of the spectrum, although this is outphased by the resolution in almost all but the highest sensitivity displays.
I actually hadn't considered inlining a diodametric stabilizer, that's pretty elegant especially considering that such a configuration would pseudobuffer its own Kurtzweil repleneration without any need to monitor ABA-CAB levels as in traditional downspin field inverters.
Though I think that older Metzinger screens are quite low resolution across all bands (as compared to today's hygrodigital screens), this probably won't be an issue for anyone using them as most pre-1990 Metzinger equipment was really geared for the amateur who is less interested in Klein signal accuracy than they are in producing rapid oxidation events
Yeah, it's a niche technique I picked up from my days using strytone logic analysers coupled with radiometric semiconductors.
Wow, I'd have given my last Cantoni spiral defluxer to have the opportunity to get my hands on a real working Strytone logic analyser, I thought that NASA had gobbled up the entire production line up during the Apollo missions.
You've must have pulled some difficult strings to get time on one yourself, or you work for NASA of course. In either case my only response is: JEALOUSY INTENSIFIES.
That said, I've managed to cobble together a semi-passable Strytone emulator using two out-of-the-box polaronic abulators yoked together with a Mansfield #707 trip lever as the muonian fabulation governer.
Of course my logic results always have some side fumbling going on, that's easy enough to account for in most circumstances.
That said, thank you again for expanding my knowledge!
Even after decades of tinkering, I still learn something new about VX operation all the time.
I used to work for Zernelli Systems, who, as I'm sure you know, was the main Strytone contractor for NASA, so (not to toot one's own horn) I am fairly experienced with Strytone analysers.
I remember once we were struggling with the synchrotune inversions used to confabulate the signal going to the main sequencer (something something greebles in the machine something something), so we had to improvise using two half-wave tuners crossed together to make a rudimentary full-wave tuner. A stressful few weeks, let me tell you that!
I'm always glad to share my experiences with like-minded individuals!
Jesus Morty, you can't just tack a sci-fi word onto a car word and hope it means something.
Wow, Mr. Highandmighty, just because you can't put quantum inhibitors in a 5-pronged field induction channeler doesn't mean they're useless. For instance, by the Uberflux effect, if you put a thin piece of nanowire between the inhibitors and your field, you can achieve a spectacular de-channeling effect by waving the wire back and forth. I forget why this happens, but it has something to do with how it bidirectionally aligns the quark heads.
Not quite. The dechanneling is caused by Hielmann currents creating a positronic inversion in the wire. This leads to the wire allowing only charm quarks to flow through the resulting Oppinger-Salnó arc, which, as we all know, can be analyzed in a thermospectral analyzer to see a lovely counter-north spline.
"Quantum inhibitor" is used in industrial VX settings. Far from a hobbyist's setting.
Idk what you're on about.

From that day I was hooked.
Lol I always had a suspicion when I came across it but didn't know enough to refute it.
That guy is being an ass hat because he wants the community to stay small. VX is very real, but be careful with it. There is a reason the subreddit has "junkies" in the title. Once you travel down the rabbit hole that is VX you can get hooked for life.

That sub is the new turboencabulator of the internet.
Well I was watching The Room the other day and when Johnny says "and I love Lisa so much" I accidentally installed the LIsA drivera instead of the LeaNne ones while building my first Carbuletic Z10 Fluctuatory build. Needless to say my Kaputik Neuronimos were completely fried beyond damage - or so I thought until I PM'd a few people on /r/VXJunkies and got a virtual slap on the face worthy of a 10 series Declomotion Turbine. After a few choice insults, one kind stranger who I won't mention (his techniques were a bit unorthodox but the ends justify the means) told me that I just needed to twist the head of the Krypliasch-Smith Holocon Tremoriser and give it a little kick in the side of its Leapstik. Needless to say it worked like a charm and my Z10 runs faster than a naked babe striding in morning dew touched grass.
If you attenuate the birefringence in the upper band using a Johnson damper in the Grover circuit with a anti-Kovak filter, you should be fine. It's a little hacky but it should work as long as you remember to calculate the shift for 1/ξ, not 1/μ. (Otherwise, say goodbye to anything containing silicon in a twelve-meter radius!)
Reading this gave me more indication that I've done absolutely nothing with my life than anything else I've ever read ever.
Thanks for sharing this! That's the first sub my brother ever showed me and I tried multiple times to look for it, but had no idea what to even search for.
Damnit... had to sub. I usually keep my subs pretty clean, but three minutes of browsing and my mutually-diffractive cross inhibitors are back in sync. Someone suggested I get replacements made of aircraft-grade prefabulated amulite. Hardly seems necessary now.

Does Reddit search engine run on top of the AskJeeves API platform?
Nope, it's actually a guy with a spreadsheet manually pasting results for you realtime.

This totally makes sense

..............This is actually the most likely explanation for Reddit's search engine that I've ever seen.
This is an accurate description of the reddit search function. My wife loves all the articles I send her and all the other informative things to be found on here, but she is not a fan of the interface and detests the search function so she refuses to go on here.
Her: "That's awesome, where did you find this?"
Me: * looking over the top of my glasses at her and say nothing*
Her:" Sigh, let me guess, reddit?"
Me: smirking, still saying nothing
Her: "of-fucking-course you did."
That happens with my husband and me, except with Facebook. He's the one who still uses it. He's begging me to log back in so I can see the Malawian comedian in Manchester, England, that he tagged me with because "it's just sooo funny!"
Gah, the trials of marriage.

I wouldn't mind signing up for this job.
Do you really want to know the kind of twisted stuff that redditors like to search about?
Let's talk numbers first. If we can settle around let's say 75k a year. I'll take it all to the grave with me, or have some really awesome showerthoughts to post. Would I be banned from posting to reddit?! Fudge. OK. Make it 69k a year and you have a deal.
Just be aware that that kind of data will change your perception of just how horrible humanity can be.
And you can't unsee it.
A few years ago I found a google URL that gave you a stream of what people were searching semi-real time, no idea if that service is still available and after 2 hours of curious watching, I never ever want to see it again.
Think of whatever flavor of serial killer/cat raper/violent racist is most abhorrent to you, crank it up a notch, and add a dash of rule 34 and you have an insight into just how horrible humanity is.
Trust me you don't want that burned into your brain.
I am absolutely sure those few hours watching search phrases scroll by was the most instrumental moment that turned me from an idealist to a jaded and bitter cynic.
hmm?
AskJeeves is a 90s web search tool
Did you bother checking their username before you replied?
I didn't checked and I have no regrets
Just use Google and search for "whatever site:reddit.com". If you want a specific sub do "whatever site:reddit.com inurl:askreddit".
The "whatever" is unnecessary though.
reddit search is essentially whispering a question to a bag of marbles. throwing said bag of marbles down a flight of stairs. and the marble that hits the bottom, rolls into the answer cup is the answer/result you were looking for. If it's not, i suggest you rethink your question/search because it is the answer.
Who is Jeeves?
Ask.com (a pretty bad search engine) was originally Askjeeves.com, with a butler as a mascot.
The common concept of referring to a butler as 'Jeeves' comes from the P.G. Wodehouse short stories, featuring a valet named Jeeves.
The thing is, most Americans don't realize there is actually a functional difference between a butler and a valet. And a valet is a significantly more prestigious servant position.
A butler primarily handles the wine cellar, and is prominent at mealtimes.
A valet is a personal servant attached to an individual, and directly assists with their charge's daily activities (Setting out their clothes, scheduling appointments, and also of a household has only one Valet (because they are FUCKING EXPENSIVE) then the valet is usually in charge of the rest of the household staff.
To put it more simply: A butler is a very knowledgeable waiter, a valet is a personal assistant usually with broad skills and competences.
A valet has no problem buttling (being a butler), though most butlers would need a few more years of training to become a competent valet.
Yeah I remember even as a kid I knew ask.com sucked.

Until this moment, I didn't realize that "Hold my beer" indicated something stupid you did while drunk. I just thought it was that you can't hold your beer while you're trying to be cool and failing miserably.

This... This is so wholesome.
Yet everything marked as NSFW ...
I was hoping for more Hunter x Hunter in that sub
Same, or Gon Again.
I forgot that existed.
This is amazing, thank you!!
/r/emboldenthee
I will avoid that filthy fifth glyph till I am not living.
Plug for /r/avoid5
Should be a sister sub to /r/emboldenthee
You asshole im at work lol
The posts say NSFW but it's honestly all SFW. Just some polygons.
As someone who loves polygons this is the perfect sub for me. Thanks!
Why is it all marked nsfw?
As a parody of gonewild.
I was really expecting it to be pictures of Gon from HunterxHunter.
/r/emboldenthee
Should have been goewild, because it's SFW but add an 'n' and it's NSFW
Also /r/gonewanton
they had a chance to call it r/goewild SFW, since there was no N and it was safe for work - but they failed :/
It's called gonwild because it's polygons.
well shit, I went to the subreddit before commenting and didn't read the sidebar... and didn't put together that all the links were polygons. My bad, everyone! Carry on!
r/runwild for a running parody of gw
r/AccidentalWesAnderson
Beautiful pictures people take that literally look like they should be on the set of a Wes Anderson film
Damn that's a great subreddit. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I Loovethis.
Already subbed. I'd also try r/accidentalrenaissance
EDIT: forgot how to spell.
Nothing is there! :(
That's because they spelled Renaissance incorrectly.
r/accidentalrenaissance
You can definitely find that by searching Wes Anderson stuff
Wes Anderson is my favorite director/filmmaker so this is my new favorite sub
Thank you for this one!
Some pretty twee fakery there though.
I love this!
Huh, cool. I ended up there after clicking the random button, like two days ago. Before that, I didn't even know who he was.
If you enjoy cinema in the slightest, and or beautiful scenery, do yourself a favor and watch all of his movies.
Or you could just as easily watch one of them and just extrapolate to all the rest.
Well, you could see if you like his style or not and if you do, watch the others...
That sub makes me feel peaceful
Oh man, this one is great! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for this!
Who's posting on this sub? People already subscribed who go out looking for "accidental" shots, or people who take an accidental shot and then think "I gotta find a sub that would appreciate this"?
Yes?
people who know about the sub and accidentally find something.
people who have old pictures just finding out about it.
Yes.
I didn't know I needed this. Thank you.
Does Wes Anderson know about this sub?
It's making me irrationally angry how good some of those would be if they were shot/cropped with the subject in the centre. That's like literally the hallmark of his style, not just having a weird coloured building.
I dislike how 'literally' became "a word used for emphasis."
I mean, take it up with Merriam-Webster because I'm not using the word incorrectly.
They don't authorize meaning, they kinda just report on trends that become standard. Didn't say you were using it incorrectly.
I just dislike the now standard meaning of a word that used to mean something else. I can dislike whatever.
I've never subscribed to so many subreddits in one day
[deleted]
You are like a reddit hipster.
No, that would mean I hate the big subs or think they're inferior. It's just a way to organize them. If you sub to both, you'll only see the major ones one. This way you don't have to go to page 8 on your list to see something from a smaller sub.
And yeah I know you're probably just joking. I'm just bored.
Same here. Been waiting for my wife to finish at the salon for about an hour and a half now... Send help.. and food to my car please.
Go for a walk or something if it's nice out. I'm just starting at a tree right now waiting for the day to end. And it's only 4pm.
I basically use this logic for youtube. I just search for the most well known ones and sub to the smaller guys.
It's treason, then.
I am the Senate!
Not yet.
Well whadya know
It's treason, then
Me too, thanks
What kind of sub Reddit is that?
This is the post I didn't know I needed
don't forget that you can only get 50 subs visible without gold
Idk, these are interesting on their own but I wouldn’t subscribe to any of them.
Don't forget r/painal
I just subscribed to /u/kosmosnoetos
/r/kosmosnoetos And another subreddit without clear specification was born ...
for real.. this is a gold mine
That's an odd subreddit name.
It's a gold mine
And now you can't remember what any of the acronyms are for...
Same. Usually, I'll find one or two new ones in these types of AskReddits, but today is a goldmine.
You must not have ever created a porn account
Holy shit, who cares?
That's the spirit.
r/Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
For all things A10 Warthog.
You don't search brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt when looking for A10 stuff?
Whenever I need to link to an A10 firing I just search brrrrrrrrrrrrt
I couldn't remember if there was a 't' at the end, and so I tried searching. There are actually at least 3 other A10 subreddits.
Without the "t" you get subs that feature people bitching about being too cold.
Or the Unofficial Gucci Mane fan subreddit
[deleted]
DCS is lyfe
Getting into it is definitely an investment, though. It's technically playable with just a keyboard and mouse, or an Xbox controller, but man is it so much better with a HOTAS + pedals setup.
Yup, i miss my HOTAS Warthog every day :(.
Life ain't the same.
That name directly corresponds to the subject matter.
This reminds me of a comment on the ARMA forums I read years ago. People were complaining about a change to the sound of the A10's gun and one guy responds with "If someone can confirm that it does indeed sound like that, I really hope it gets changed. I want my GAU sounding like God unzipping his pants just before the surprise buttsex you are about to receive."
Do with that what you will, A10 fanboys
this name is brilliant. It made me laugh so hard when i saw the content of the sub
Its cold in here
Username checks out.
Thanks for completing my life.
I needed this. Thanks man
Freedom boner incoming!
Oh my god new favourite
Yup, I need a daily dose of that...
Of course there would be a sub about this

Awesome. That reminds me that I need to find a toy A10 for my son.

Its about humans doing crazy things that humans shouldn't be able to.
Laughed so hard scrolling through this. So good

Ethiopian food is actually fucking tasty
Seriously, and my favorite Ethiopian place in Seattle, Enat, my wife and I can go in, stuff our faces to the point of food coma and still leave with a box for like 20 bucks. It's absolutely amazing.
Yeah it really is!! I'm due for a good ole tibbs soon, the beef and tomato dish with jalapeños. So good
That's cruel. Ethiopian food is actually really good.
You know what Ethiopian food tastes like? Neither do they.
It's been over 30 years since the Ethiopian famines.
It's crazy how people mock Ethiopians for having a famine that was caused by the civil war, no recent famine has gotten the same amount of ridicule. Ethiopians are also really cool people.
Jokes aside, there's actually an Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego I've been to a few times and it's delicious. My favorite thing they serve is this platter of vegetables and spiced mashed beans on a spongy flatbread called injera.
What's the place called?
It's called Awash, named after the river. It's also a store where they sell Ethiopian ingredients and music. There's actually a decent number of Ethiopian residents in the area, and it seems like there's usually at least one group of Ethiopian people eating there.
Thanks!
Try red sea at the corner of euclid and university

February is always amusing.
What is the joke? It's a sub about superb owls
the joke is there is no space in the spelling so people looking for "r/super bowl" in end up finding "r/superb owl".
whenever the actual superbowl is on
Don't pretend you don't know it is in early February.
I'm Scottish, I genuinely didn't know when it was on. I find out about it existence every year from reddit and go "huh, that's on just now" and that's pretty much the entirety of my involvement with it.
I'm American. I genuinely didn't know either. It's just something that comes up every once in a while and I sometimes catch some of the ads, but I don't bother to remember it or note the time of year.

Ah fuck.
It's a really old Stephen Colbert joke turned into a sub. Doesn't make it bad, just letting you know where it's from since it seems new to you.
Source?
I tried finding it, but I'm only finding articles relating this to a joke Colbert made in 2014 (e.g. https://www.law360.com/articles/680102 ) The sidebar for the subreddit says it's been a community for 6 years.
I'm on mobile and can't search for sources well, but it was a big bit he did on Colbert Report because the super bowl was enforcing copyrights or trade marks or something and not letting shows use the name without paying royalties or something like that. Six years ago is about right. Might have been 7 or 8 when it first happened though.
Ah, sorry, I didn't realize that the article I linked would end up at a paywall. Follow it through a google search and it should be alright: https://www.google.com/search?q="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.law360.com%2Farticles%2F680102"
But the core of it is this:
Let's rewind: Ahead of the 2014 Super Bowl, Stephen Colbert put together a segment mocking the NFL's notoriously strict trademark enforcement regime. After a montage of commercials for "the big game" from cowed advertisers, Colbert announced that he'd discovered a loophole in the rules.
"The NFL is very aggressive in protecting their trademarks," Colbert told viewers. "They have so intimated the world that people are shy about using the logo without permission."
"But, Sports Nation, I'm not going to give up ... I believe we can cover the story like nobody else simply by moving one consonant in the title," Colbert said. "So, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for my weeklong coverage of 'Superb Owl 48.'"
Which seems to jive with your recollection of the circumstances - but definitely places that at 2014, ~3 years ago - a good bit younger than the subreddit. Maybe he previously used it in another routine before his big break?
It could also have been a straight up coincidence. I doubt that only one English speaker in the world ever looked at the word Superbowl and thought "ya know, move one letter over and you've got yourself a superb owl." I know I first heard about it from Stephen, (as did Khatib, clearly) but that doesn't mean he has to be the first to have thought of it.
Either way, I hope we can all agree that it's a pretty good subreddit.
Oh yeah, I'm sure people have had the thought practically since the name was conceived :) I certainly didn't mean to claim that the sub thought of it - just that it's practically unlikely that the the sub got the name from Colbert.
And yes, it's a superb subreddit! Needs more scritches posts though ;)

I know.. owlful right?
Here, user u/SWAMPMONK is playing on the similarity between the word "owl" and the first syllable of the word "awful" to produce a comedic effect.
Literally one of the most miserable attempts at a pun I've seen in my life.
Some people are very pissed about that I'm betting.

I mean we've got r/nfl for that and the event only happens once a year anyway
we've got ~~r/nfl~~ r/hockey for that
Best Super Bowl GDT on /r/hockey
Best prank of all time. Love you, /r/hockey
My favorite sport to follow is probably football, but r/hockey is still the best
The only two sports subs I follow are /r/theocho and /r/hockey
Most of the others I have blocked. It because I don't like the sport. Because "WOOOO! (Team Name) UPVOTE PARTY MEGATHRAD!" Seems to be the only thing ever said in them.
That's the best /r/hockey thread of the year, every year
I dunno, our off-season shitposts are prime.
You mean true form /r/hockey.
As an Avs fan, they are hurtful and sour. But yeah they're pretty funny.
That's fair. They also have the surprise factor because you don't expect them.
We're talking about events that happen every year.
Whereas Superb Owls are there all year round, so it makes sense.
People say this all the time, and there's never anything to back it up.
If the sub was what you expected, it would be a pretty inactive sub of people posting their superbowl tickets.
For people to talk about the actual game and season and for people who care about the sport (and also the occasional person posting superbowl tickets), there's r/nfl.
/r/Stanleycup has 30 subscribers, and for the most part is inactive.
/r/worldseries has 16 subscribers. There's no reason to believe that if /r/superbowl was about the Super Bowl it would be any different. I've never seen anyone be remotely angry at it.
Ye....yeah!!
/r/baseball goes the World Series threads, but not individual game threads. Those can be found at team subreddits such as /r/nationals and /R/GoFish (apologies if I got Miami's wrong) which did the ASG this year bc it was in Miami.
That's a terrible comparison.
How
The Super Bowl takes place over one night rather than already between 4-7. Viewership dwarfs the Stanley cup and world series. People who don't care about football will time in just for the spectacle, the commercials and the halftime show. It also takes place on a neutral site chosen well in advance which promotes more travel and a greater turnout outside of the competing team's fans.
If you think either of those is a close comparison to the Super Bowl in cultural significance (which I'd say is a fair barometer for measuring the need for a subreddit), then you're in denial.
Expecting more downvotes but I'd love for someone to show me how I'm wrong. Sweet, got the downvotes and got zero good arguments. Love reddit.
I think most people would just visit /r/nfl instead of going to /r/superbowl. It's much more active.
Did you miss the part where /r/superbowl is about owls?
He's saying that even if /r/superbowl was about the actual Super Bowl, people would still just visit /r/NFL. There's no reason for another sub for a one-day event.
There's no reason for another sub for a one-day event.
That's a matter of opinion, either way my original arguement wasn't over the need for a Super Bowl subreddit so I'm not sure why people are so excited to tell me we don't need one. I was arguing that it's unfair to lump it in with the World Series and Stanley Cup because it's much larger than those.
But you're kind of wrong about that anyway. I know literally nothing about hockey, but the world series is a series. While the NFL has more spectators, it's only one game on a single day each year. That's a pretty bad use case for a subreddit, despite it being the more popular event.
The sub might be a little larger, let's say there's twice or three times as many subscribers, that's still nothing in the scheme of things. Certainly not large enough to warrant needing its own subreddit when there's /r/nfl.
It's a totally fair comparison because we can compare it on a percentage basis.
Not really when you consider that the Super Bowl draws a significant amount of non-NFL fans. There would be much less overlap between /r/NFL and a Super Bowl subreddit compared to a /r/NHL and /r/StanleyCup.
Still, I'm not saying we need it I'm just saying it's not a good comparison.
the super bowl takes place over one night rather than 4-7
So what you're telling me is that the sub would be irrelevant for 364 days instead of 361?
Does it matter?
If it's relevant for one day then why not?
Guess we shouldn't have stuff like /r/place either because it's irrelavent now.
It was going for a month, not a day. How can you call the world series and superbowl an unfair comparison and then compare 30 days to 1.
We were both wrong. I was a bit closer though, it actually went on for 3 days(literally the length of a weekend, like the Super Bowl) but it's still a one off event rather than an event followed by off days and following events.
Either way it was just an example, what about Black Friday subreddits? Same thing, only once a year but it still has a purpose and gets used.
Black Friday subreddits make sense. 1 post per item. I don't get why you are arguing so hard. The Super Bowl is undoubtedly the most popular event on TV but it will never makes sense to have a subreddit for a single event that happens over a few hours on one day.
I have never argued that. I argued that it was unfair to compare it to the World Series and Stanley Cup subreddits and I showed there is precedent for a subreddit for it but have never argued that we need one.
But you tunneled in on one aspect: The Super Bowl has more fans. You ignored the part that would actually be relevant for a subreddit: The World Series can have up to 7 games. A Super Bowl subreddit would literally have one thread every year, while the World Series could have up to 7.
I already touched on that aspect previously. Having multiple games removes a lot of the excitement. Elimination games or Game 7's are awesome but the rest can get lost in the shuffle.
Having multiple games removes a lot of the excitement.
Yeah, tell that to the ~20 million people that watched games 1-6 and 40 million that watched game 7. What the hell are you on about anyway, how does "decreased excitement" relevant for a subreddit. There are subreddits for animated porn for shits sake, I don't think "high activity" is a requirement.
Having multiple games removes a lot of the excitement.
Dude, 20. Million. Viewers. You keep arguing about nothing. It's a perfectly valid comparison. A Super Bowl subreddit would be empty all but one day per year. Even assuming it was 10x as popular as the world series subreddit that would give it an astonishing 170 subs. Exciting shit.
I don't want a Super Bowl subreddit lol.
The Super Bowl takes place over one night rather than already between 4-7
....So there would be more time for discussion for the world series and stanley cup
Which conparison? In what way is it terrible?
Their similarities end with the fact that they are championships for their respective sports.
The scope, size, and cultural impact of the Super Bowl is far beyond either of those.
Think about going to work after the Super Bowl, everyone is talkin about it(at least in the US).
Have you ever gone somewhere like work or school the day after the World Series or Stanley Cup and had people want to talk to you about it? No one outside of fans of the sport or the participating team's fans will care that much.
With the Super Bowl, it's much different. I guess maybe a lot of people here are outside the US and don't understand how much bigger the Super Bowl is compared to every other sporting event besides the Olympics.
Well, if you're Canadian...
If you think no one talked about this last world series a day after it happened, you are mistaken.
I think you experience a bubble and wrongly assume it's evident of the entire population of reddit.
I'm not saying it would have 16 subscribers, but it would he proportionally inactive.
Also, every point I made stands. The comparison is apt. A terrible comparison is comparing the Emmys to the Olympics.
I compared 3 sports that have active subs and an annual championship. The only thing off is the NFL is decided in 1 game, where the other two are best of 7.
I don't think there's a better comparison, actually.
If you think no one talked about this last world series a day after it happened, you are mistaken.
Because a 100 year "curse" was broken, it was historic and an outlier. Not endemic of most World Series.
I think you experience a bubble and wrongly assume it's evident of the entire population of reddit.
Could apply to you based on the previous comment about the World Series.
Also, every point I made stands. The comparison is apt. A terrible comparison is comparing the Emmys to the Olympics.
Maybe it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. There are no good comparisons, doesn't mean you have to force one. Having an active sub and an annual championship are your criteria for similarity? Yikes.
If I am wrong and my comparisons are awful, then can you prove that there's a large population of people angry that /r/superbowl isn't what you'd expect?
That's what this conversation is about, and as far as I can tell, people being mad about that isn't a thing. Even in /r/NFL, people think it's funny. My point still stands.
You really think all these sports leagues are so different that they're literally and completely incomparable? You really think that it's not worth it at all to even consider the similarity of differences of two sports?
Yikes.
Right now, the evidence is that no one cares that /r/superbowl is what it is. If you were right and the sports were completely uncomparable and /r/Superbowl without owls would have had a massive following, there'd be evidence of that in the form of people being angry that they don't have a sub for their championship.
Also, last superbowl was historic and an outlier in itself, so to discount people talking about this worldseries as being not representitive of the norm while comparing it to people talking about this year's superbowl isn't fair.
Holy shit dude, where is your reading comprehension? You misunderstood my point and misconstrued my examples. I give up on you. Sorry.
It's always funny watching the delusional people on Reddit who THINK they are winning an argument continue to be this stupid. Like dude, if you have a good argument then people would agree with you...that's kind of how debate works. If you have a stupid argument then people won't agree with you, and currently based on votes no one is agreeing with you.
You can say "I expect downvotes from the stupid people of Reddit" like a typical neckbearded fuck or you can admit you are wrong. But for the love of god learn how to debate first before showing your ass again please.
No problem.
i read it all! chinese trapper main is right, jawni is wrong
Thanks for the backup lol.
I'm glad other people seem to agree for the most part that comparing championships of sports and their subreddits isn't that shitty of a comparison. I thought I was going crazy for a while there.
yeah. it's the closest comparison you can really make. Even though the superbowl is way bigger than any other event, that doesnt change the fact that a subreddit devoted to it would be really small and completely inactive
In the context of having a separete subreddit for said championship, yeah that's pretty fuckin similar bud.
What would be the point of a dedicated Super Bowl subreddit? There's /r/nfl. I don't think there are people getting mad about that...
[deleted]
Yes, I know what /r/superbowl is, I'm responding to the guy above me that said he bets people are pissed that the presumed Super Bowl subreddit is about owls instead. I'm wondering why he thinks people would be pisses since a theoretical dedicated Super Bowl subreddit would be pretty pointless and I'm doubtful anyone would go looking for it.
Shhh... You're making sense.
It because a lot of people have no use for sports, and that is okay. Just don't DARE mention a sport if that is what you are interested in, even if they ask you what you been into. Because they take it upon themselves to teach you just how much they don't care about sports, how stupid it is for you to follow a team, etc,. OP here doesn't seem to be full super logical anti-sports guy, but probably has a mental image of illogical sports fans upset that that delightful sub about our fowl friends isn't about the super bowl. As a huge nfl fan myself, /r/nfl is more than sufficient for my fix, along with my team's sub and all other team subs, as well as evil league of evil, ungulate brotherhood, etc.
nah betting on the super bowl is really not that taboo any more
Who? :)
I'm pissed because it's a bad answer. If you search for its content on Reddit, that sub is exactly what you'll find.
Most people on /r/nfl I think find it hilarious.
NFL tbh your not missing much i rarely use it to much salt.
You're betting on the Superbowl. What are the odds?
It's one of those things where everyone who dislikes football thinks it's funny because they think it pisses off football fans when in reality no football fans care.
Nah. The /r/nfl subreddit is pretty huge and great, I don't think anyone would be looking to a whole new sub just for one game.
superb owl HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
They do love their wordplay

This one somewhat reminds me of my username. It reads as "rock snowls" but is actually "rocks 'n owls"
It reminds me of the time I wanted to start r/deftones for videos of highly skilled people doing amazing things, but the name was already taken by the fans of some crappy nu metal band or something.
I really like your username
Fuck! I really like bowls!
Obviously, you're not a golfer.
Create subredot /r/superbbowl then!
I love reddit
I once posted a pic of a giant cereal bowl there and was banned
The owl subreddits are not what they seem.
Owl that glitters is not gold
This has actually taken a vastly different turn. I have been seeing people calling others Superb Owls in other subreddit. Well done
Owls are raptors (birds of prey), much like the hawk, falcon, osprey, etc.
Owls are by far the most populous, with about 28 owls per square mile in most rural areas of North America.
Falcons are 2nd in population, with approximately 3 falcons per square mile in some areas of North America.
Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in the Superbowl
I was expecting football, not hootball

Meh. I'm more of a B Owl kind of guy myself. You can have the superb ones

I made this typo on facebook a few years ago and now most of my friends refer to Super Bowl as the Superb owl.
this is amazing
Thank you! I totally forgot all about Superb Owl for a while. now I am re aquinated!
Owl seems to have some meaning pertaining to the superbowl.
It's because Superbowl is a trademarked name, and they aggressively sue anyone who uses it. Someone came up with the term Superb Owl in spite, and someone were familiar with the term and also thought Owls were pretty superb. Win win (for everyone except for Superbowl)
That's freaking awesome.
Subscribed, thankyou
The joke is that the phrase "Super Bowl" is heavily trademarked and aggressively guarded by NFL lawyers. If you work at a media outlet that doesn't (for instance) actually broadcast the NFL Professional Football Championship Game, you will get a nastygram from the NFL just for using the phrase in public media. So it's good to make fun of them by making it about Superb Owls.
Dark as fuck man. Can't unsee that...
Didn't expect to see a sub that I actually follow on this list lmao. I've followed it for a while but still always read it wrong
Oddly enough, at the moment there's a post on /r/superbowl directly above this one.
Say superb owl enough times in row and it turns into super bowel.. not sure I wanna visit that subreddit
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25 owl lead in the Quidditch World Cup.
haha thats amazing
Owl be the judge of that!
I want to think it used to be about the superbowl and then people started posting owls and the creator just went with it
My son loves owls! Thanks for posting this!
That's awesome, hope he can go birdwatching some time and see some owls up close!
owl love? who'd have guessed.
Because the actual name 'Super Bowl' is trademarked, you will often see Superb Owl in places. This resulted in my Familiar in D&D being called Maverick, the Superb Owl.
The joke goes that Budweiser owns the rights to the term Super Bowl, and if you are a restaurant/bar/pub that is going to show the game and do specials, but you don't server Budweiser products then you can't use the words Super Bowl. It was suggested that you wouldn't be prevented from using SuperB owl an eventually a subreddit was born.
I think it's meant to be read as Superb Owl....
You know I think you're right
Subbed. Thanks, man
I fell in love with this sub the moment I accidentally stumbled on it.
One of my gifs was stolen and became the top post for a while! Made me feel very proud.
That owl is doing a great Nicholas Cage impression.
Yesss I need this in my life
I love this.
That's a fucking clever name
almost as clever as the pen island sub... /r/penisland.
I'm just glad I've been subbed to all these
Will never be able to unsee this.
You're welcome
didn't belive you, then i checked and reddit made me happy
This is my favorite
LMAO.. i bet baseball fans hate that...
...
YOLO!
I find google works better to locate lots of subreddits you normally wouldn't see. I just usually use google to search within specific websites. It's awesome for YouTube searches as well. (searching on YouTube is horrible buggy ui)
Awesome sub!
I'm home
I've seen this before and am only just now realizing is says superb owl
Owl righty then.
It's the best type of owl.
Somewhat related is the fact that r/nhl's super bowl thread is always heavily trafficked!
Hoo thought that would be a good idea?
wasn't the sub actually formed to cover the NFL Super Bowl and then afterwards switched to an Owl themed subreddit?
Probably should have called it /r/superb_owl
but this way is more of a ... hoot
Me just now:
"Super bowl? What's with all the owls?"
"OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Hey I dunno if you've been keepin score man, but we just got our asses kicked!
... pal!
The Covenant crew find one on Planet 4 well before the events of the first Alien.
That subreddit was created well before Alien: Covenant was even in pre-production.
But....that movie sucked. Do we have to include it in the series?
Covenant was an AWESOME film, Its no Aliens...But its a pretty damn good movie.
I checked out when a group of scientists and astronauts walked out on to a planet with out helmets and suits.... and were surprised when they got sick within minutes.
That's just lazy writing.
https://youtu.be/Bbzuu14bGgs
LMAO its Prometheus all over again, Jesus you Science-FACTion nerds are boring as fuck. What kind of film would it have been if they followed safe procedures like they would in reall life...Would you prefer the entire film be about them waiting in orbit for a soil samples? I find it hard to believe that any true Aliens fans cares one bit about them wlaking on a planet with no helmet on. Did you want an aliens film or a fucking space documentray about Biologists?
It's not about mirroring real life, it's about building a coherent story within the rules of the movie's world and not breaking immersion.
If you write a story, you stand by the story's rules, you don't just put stuff in for the sake of moving the plot from A to B.
The movie OBJECTIVELY had lazy writing just like many others did. But it's still the viewers choice to see it as good or bad.
it's about building a coherent story within the rules of the movie's world
First question, Care to explain the rules to an Alien film to me then?.
Second question, How does Covenant go against these rules.
If you write a story, you stand by the story's rules, you don't just put stuff in for the sake of moving the plot from A to B.
SO what are these rules?....and which writer are we saying is the definitive rulemaker?
To me it's about suspension of disbelief. I want to be sucked into the world. I want to believe this could really happen. But a lot of these you'd have to think they were sequels to Idiocracy for them to make sense because it's just so damn stupid. If the plot could be solved/prevented by a highschool student with five minutes of thought, it's a stupid plot.
To me it's about suspension of disbelief. I want to be sucked into the world. I want to believe this could really happen.
Like a slug popping out of someones back, and growing to a 8ft tall humanoid in 1hour?
If the plot could be solved/prevented by a highschool student with five minutes of thought, it's a stupid plot.
Ahh, like using ductape to bind a flamethrower to an M41A pulse rifle?
The first is the premise of the movie, so I don't mind it, it's consistent in-universe. The second it's a valid issue to nitpick.
If you don't enjoy critiquing movies, that's fine, but don't act like this is something objective where one of us is right or wrong. I actually liked Prometheus and loved Covenant, but both had flaws, and it can be fun to point them out.
And for me, if a villain is supposed to be scary but only can be scary if you're completely incompetent and borderline stupid, it's no longer scary. Hell, I'll even accept a sentence long handwave to justify it, just give me something, ya know?
LMAO its Prometheus all over again
Don't even get me started on Prometheus. That one dude wanted to pet the alien... I will repeat, he wanted to pet an alien life form that he just discovered.
What kind of film would it have been if they followed safe procedures like they would in reall life...
It would have been a good one, like the first one.
Just give them suits and then have one of them fail. There I just solved their problem. FFS people brought it up after Prometheus and they made the same mistake again. In fact, the writers knew how stupid it was to go out onto a new planet with no helmets, because they made two characters get sick immediately!
I find it hard to believe that any true Aliens fans cares one bit about them wlaking on a planet with no helmet on.
you don't read comments much do you?
you don't read comments much do you?
I've read your comments...And a THOUSAND others parroting the same shit for the last 4 years. This is science fiction...Not science fact. If you all werent blinded by nostalgia you would also see the same stupid scenarios in Alien and Aliens. Anyway..Im going to go watch Covenant again, and enjoy it, Im sorry you havent been able to enjoy a single aliens film since the 80's due to your hardcore rules about science-FACTion.
It's not about fact at all. It's about consistency and building believable characters.
Having scientists and astronauts go out onto a planet without helmets isn't consistent with the way scientists and astronauts behave. We're supposed to believe that these people trained and flew to other galaxies but somewhere along the way they forgot that they should probably wear safety gear while on new planets? We're supposed to believe that these people are scientists!
Either don't have them get sick from the environment or have them wear suits and have them fail. Is that so difficult? Having them go out onto a planet with no mask and getting sick instantly has got to be some of the laziest writing ever for a science fiction movie. You would think this was mankind's first trip into space.
At this rate the next movie will have a retired astronaut-turned professor making out with a xenomorph in order to advance the movie.
The last Alien video game was better than any of the movies. I enjoyed that. The new movies don't even come close to that.
Either don't have them get sick from the environment or have them wear suits and have them fail. Is that so difficult?
WIthout them getting sick there are NO ALIENS...In an ALIENS Movie.
There are other ways to get sick than from the environment. Like directly from an alien attack.
Imagine if in the movie The Martian, Matt Damon's character just decided to ignore his education and walk out onto Mars without a helmet or suit, and was completely surprised by the outcome and then died within a minute.
You'd be like, WTF was that? Why would he be so stupid?
Apples to oranges and you know it. You are trying to compare Schindlers List to Inglorious Bastards...Yes both are set in germany, Yes both feature nazis......NO they aren't comparable.
The Martian is a movie based around science fact. Its on a planet we know about, With no atmosphere. Humans cant breath in this environment and you know it. SO yes it would be crazy to go out without an helmet.
Aliens Covenant is a space fantasy film. You were either asleep or are choosing to ignore the fact that they are on an intergalactic spaceship heading to a new planet that they have already DETERMINED IS SAFE AND HABITAL. A good 5mins of the film was about them discussing this new planet and how all scans show it has safe breathable atmosphere. Yes it would be crazy for real life scientists to just walk around with no helmets on....But this is an Aliens film, Someone NEEDS to be infected somehow for it to be an ALIENS film. Its like all you moaners dont like Aliens films and just like hard science films with a space backdrop.
You were either asleep or are choosing to ignore the fact that they are on an intergalactic spaceship heading to a new planet that they have already DETERMINED IS SAFE
and yet they still got sick immediately.
lazy writing
Almost every movie or TV plot centers around someone making stupid decisions.
Without someone making a stupid desicion there wouldnt be any Aliens.
My problem with this film is there was absolutely ZERO character development. Nothing about any of the main characters made me feel compelled to like them. It was frustrating from the time they landed on the planet until the credits rolled. It has its moments in action sequences, but as a pervious comment said, it's Prometheus all over again.
My problem with this film is there was absolutely ZERO character development.
Not even with David?
There were quite a few issues with it. One thing I hated was how ridiculously packed the final act of the film was. Why have a xenomorph on the main space ship itself? Wasn't a giant xenomorph fight on the top some unstable mining ship used as a makeshift return ship enough?
NO WE FUCKING DO NOT.
I was like, this makes perfect sense? Oh I forgot not everyone loves this series.
I'm so deep into it that it didn't occur to me that LV426 isn't an everyday term for people.

Completely serious question, why do you bother rhyming if you're going to make no attempt at a decent meter? Even with rhyming poetry, meter is 95% of the battle.

/r/hfy
Sci-fi stories and humans kicking ass.
The only problem I have with /r/HFY is how much they love series there. Every promising oneshot is full of commenters trying to turn it into Quarentine.
On one hand, yeah, the constant clamour for series is annoying as hell.
On the other hand, it did give us Chrysalis.
Reasonable length series are absolutely fine, its the neverending stories constantly on the first page that bother me.
Chrysalis is my favourite though.
As someone who has dabbled in writing on some other subreddit a little, it's so hard to write a story with an ending if you are making things up as you go. Old habit of mine, I would regularly turn in unfinished stories in school if there was a time limit...
I get that, I started with a oneshot and was encouraged to continue. This was years ago, but the support of the community was what encouraged me to keep going. It's one of the best aspects of it.
Now I've got a few books complete I never would have in the first place!
Still, I like the one shots.
When are you publishing your next chapter?
Every time you ask I'll say tomorrow, and kill a character.
(Working on it.)
You just made me look up and start reading your stuff. That's a great comment.

Jenkinverse is the thing that ever happen in r/hfy.
So, cant really blame them.
Same thing happened to /r/nosleep.
Same, I get turned off by all the "chapter 60 of God knows how many" posts.
Ah, the old /r/nosleep problem.
"I am a job and at work last night I found a thing, here's my story - part 35"
I've been waiting for a new humans don't make good pets for a while now.

"Weird Noise Under My Bed, Parents Killed, Clown Keeps Looking Through My Window [Chapter 281]"
That's my issue, I subbed after a previous similar thread, but then i just started to get things like "Hands of Kaledron - Pt 26" And that one entry was inches thick. I don't got the time for that.
Can't blame em really
There are people like me there, too, though. I've far more one shots than series posts.
I know, but the pressure from the comments made me turn a oneshot into a series a year or so ago. I tried to keep pace with some of the other series by better writers and failed miserably. Right now I'm working on something that could be a series, but I might wait to post until I've actually finished in order to avoid the pressure.
You're a better writer than I. I write them in the post box.
I'm very slow because I write in infrequent bursts, so I use Google docs. Keeps things easily available for when the mood hits.
That's where my book is sitting untouched...
What happened with Quarentine? Last I heard was like chapter 60 iirc
The author let it grow too big and sort of lost control over the characters. It's officially done as a series, but is apparently being reworked into an actual, publishable format.
oh cool, I was hooked to that serie.
I love long series, the amount of character development Hambone's Deathworlders go through would be flat out impossible in one-shots.
But yea, often it seems like the author never planned forward much, and their story ends up all over the place and abandoned after upvote numbers start dropping past the "part 25" mark.
I've posted a few one shots there, they are tied together but they are more individual while existing in the same universe
Yeah, I think that's just a problem with writing subbreddits in general. Writing prompts is really bad for this.
Yeah, they do like long running stories. They also get pissy if humans come off as evil or villains (even though that was pretty much the original context) and 95% of the stories assume that all other life in the universe made it to space and likely to FTL travel, but is at it's base level inherently stupid regarding basic concepts ("we have no weapons, what do we do? Wait... what do you mean use autopilot to smash our drop ships into them from orbit like bombs. that's insane and would never work").
It is an amateur writing sub. A lot of the authors seem to come in, read a few stories, and say "I can do that!" Everyone draws from the same sources, so there's lots of samey plots. I try to stay away from writing generic war stories, but I did write 50 Laps, so I'm not immune.
yeah,but that's not my concern. Generic war stories can be interesting.
My concern is that the aliens become stupid and forget or are incapable of understanding basic concepts. The example I gave was from some long running story involving lava swords and a random human who ended up conscripted into a war. It was well written, and the base premise was that the human was way tougher than everything else, but then it started making everyone else stupid. They were in a battle on some planet, couldn't get orbital bombardment and didn't know what to do until the human decided to set the ships on autopilot to take off and crash into the enemy base. This concept blew everyone's mind because they apparently had never thought of such a thing in the history of war. It wasn't a "we'll never get off the planet" or "the ship can't be programmed for that", but just a "what... that works?" type reaction from everyone who wasn't the human.
Or the stories that talk about how humans still use chemical propellant on kinetic weapons and how quaint that is. Compressed fluids that are expanding and pushing mass is a basic concept and not a "maybe they never figured that out over the millennia" concept. It shouldn't be that shocking of a revelation. Some get this right (or at least more believable) and argue that the aliens have moved beyond such weapons for (reasons) and we are staying more "primitive" and they need to adapt to us. That's reasonable. Making them not understand the concept, less so.
As you said, amateur writers and that's fine. I love the concept and still check in for stuff to see what is coming out that's interesting. And sometimes I'm just happy to see what quotable lines writers come up with. (ADeath World and War being two i remember being fond of in their simplicity)
Re: kinetic weapons in Jenkinsverse. Only humans use them, because we're the only ones with dense enough bones to withstand the recoil.
To make a bullet go fast, you'll need to exert a force on it; the same force will then be exerted on who's operating the gun.
ETs have a recoilless beam weapon that's just not strong enough to seriously harm humans, but then again they never needed anything stronger till we came along.
Gotta agree though, Humans Don't Make Good Pets really set the bar for alien intelligence quite low; no way some of these species would achive FTL on their own, no matter how much time they're given.
And not that that isn't a proper hand wave, but at the same time, that justifies only a few types of kinetic weapons. You still have recoilless weapons, squad manned, vehicle mounted, artillery, etc. which wouldn't have a bone breaking issue.
But it's a moot point. Sometimes stupid is ok if they can still wrap a decent story around it.
Well look at it this way, one of the marks of a good storyteller is that they leave people wanting more. So it's hardly surprising when someone writes a good story and the commenters want more. :P
That is WHY it is awesome
I always want to go read a few minutes of stories there, but then I click and it's 'part 26' and three pages long. It's all cool if you want to write a book, but does every post have to be that?
For those starting out here: highly recommend The Kevin Jenkins Experience ([Reddit mirror] (https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/2ftcpy/text_the_kevin_jenkins_experience_chapter_1_part_i/)) as a jumping off point. This story spawned an entire HFY ~~uni~~Jenkinsverse.
There's also "Chrysalis." It's in the top of all time for the sub. Don't ask questions, just read it.
Indeed, Chrysalis is fantastic.
I've written that chrysalis is the epitome of hfy. It manages to encompass everything that makes us human embroiled in the violent storm of warfare.

It's a one shot, IMHO a stand out example along with the statue one.
It got a sequel at one point though.
The sequel ended on a cliffhanger, too.
Seconding this recommendation. Still the best shit I have ever read on reddit.
I took your advice.
Sweet Jesus that was a good read.

Well that just blew my day to hell. Great story though.
Thanks, both of you! I had work to do today, too. Ain't gonna happen, I guess.

Not to mention, if you want to get ALL of the back story that goes into Deathworlders, you need to read Humans Dont Make Good Pets, Salvage, and the Xiu Chang Saga. As well as Good training.
Humans Dont Make Good Pets has some of the funniest chapters I've ever read in my entire life of reading fiction.
Anyone who hasn't do yourself a favor and use the handy timeline guide someone made to read them all in timeline order. It is a LOT, an it is AMAZING
Nah. I read (well, listen) at about 600 words per minute. This'll last me a day. That's why I'm always so happy to find good reading.
[deleted]
Never heard of top web fiction. I had heard of worm, but it's not for me. Way too dark to be any fun. Thanks!
They were wonderful neighbors in /r/place, credit where credit is due.
I think the last count was about 850,000 words for the whole Deathworlders series. With all the other in-universe stories it's about 1.5 million.
I did get through a 1.5 million word fanfic in three days, once. Never again!
[deleted]
Lots! The Dangerverse series of Harry Potter fanfics are a couple million, all told. That's what I was thinking of. Harry Potter also has Prince Of The Dark Kingdom, The Alexandra Quick series, A Marauder's Plan, those enormously long works by potterfan Steve, and some other stuff. But I've also read all of MLP Time Loops, The Wheel and The Butterfly, and a bunch of other super-long MLP fics. Not FoE, though, because I don't care about video game stuff. In fact, the vast number of lengthy fanfics is what got me interested in MLP at all.
The main series is just over 1 million words now, I've been keeping track of the word count the past couple of months,
Dayum, we finally cracked 1 mil!
main deathworlders series standalone has broke a million words as of the most recent chapter.
40k+ words per chapter... Cant remember which was last but i think 38 chapters...
Yay! A couple days seems about right, then.
Just watch out for the transports, they are terrible.
Some of these chapters are novel sized though.
Good to know. I'm only on chapter 2; the prologue stuff and the first two chapters aren't that long. I was assuming the rest would be similar.
The chapters only get longer. After about chapter 10-15, they reach a constant +30K words in length.
I posted it above to someone else but wanted to recommend to you as well:
If you want to get ALL of the back story that goes into deathworlders, you need to read Humans Dont Make Good Pets, Salvage, and the Xiu Chang Saga. As well as Good Training.
Humans Dont Make Good Pets is AMAZING and has some of the funniest fiction I've ever read. HIGHLY recommend.
Think Hambone said he considers anything with more than 100 upvotes and no extreme clashes with his established Universe to be canon. So there's probably another good dozen stories that are "canon", even if they're not referenced in the main story line.
Oh no, those are the short ones, have fun!
the whole thing is almost a million words, if you need to sleep it'll take you a couple of days even at that speed. the latter chapters are significantly longer than the first ones
I do need to sleep. But thanks to wireless, I can keep going while making and eating food. So if I really got serious, all I need is 6 hours sleep every 24 hours. I used to marathon stuff like that when I was a teenager. In middle age, though, I tend to take things a little slower.
Good luck getting through the chapter called Warhorse.
That chapter pissed me off so much. Partially because my phone crashed when I was about halfway through it and that meant a lot of scrolling to get back to where I was, and partially because of what happened in it. :(
The worst thing about that chapter was that I really wasn't too interested in those two until a a few chapters after. So it only felt worthwhile in hindsight. The same thing happened with The People, whose relevance and appeal (at least for me) happen after a few chapters, leaving me with a lot of time trying to justify not outright skipping parts.
Ha. I was kind of the same way with the Julian/Alison/Xiu group for a while, I thought their drama kind of distracted from the rest of the story, but they grew on me by the battle time where they went into the stasis pods.
Fun fact, I skip a fair bit of pancakes. There is some worthwhile developments but once you get the idea you can progress to more important or interesting things. But ultimately everyone seems worthwhile. Further in I got the better I felt about the time invested.
Yeah, they're okay occasionally but lately it just feels like authors are including them just because it's almost expected at this point. You got your human and alien pair kicking ass all over the galaxy, the bad guy aliens complicating things, circumstances happen, human and alien sleep together, then the story resumes only that the two are together now. It can be a little formulaic.
Also the pancake thing confused the hell out of me when I started reading HFY. It took me a while before I found the story that started it, haha.
The only pancakes I was interested in was what might have happened (or might still happen if the author continues writing it) in "When deathworlders meet". Purely because such a clash, and I intentionally use the word clash, could prove to actually be interesting.
Another 2 I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend is Chrysalis, and the Fourth Wave.
Thanks! I suspect this community will keep me in novel-length scifi for a while :-)
No problem!
I started onto hfy with screencaps a while ago, but couldn't find/never knew this place existed. I saw the one Tumblr cap that quoted the Deathworlders inspiration ("you don't realize you're on a Deathworlder until you leave...") and I said "hey, that sounds really cool," and started googling that specifically my intro to the sub was literally the JVerse. I ate up Humans Don't Make Good Pets in two days, and went from there
hai sswanlake :3
I found Deathworlders a little while ago after a friend on Facebook who I went to uni with linked it... Then I realised he's Hambone. Massively jealous of him, but kinda proud that he's doing something that awesome.
:D
It has morphed into something really special, every time a new chapter comes out I gotta read it.
My one regret is, it takes Hambone a month to write each chapter, and I devour it in three hours...
True but ai think about it a lot :D
I binged the series, and the lack of a "next chapter" link when I caught up felt like a gaping wound.
Thank you I've been looking for this story forever
Thank you
If Tweety dies, we riot!
Did that series die out? I hit a point then lost my place.
It has a proper ending, but I warn you, it's not what you might expect and it's certainly controversial.
I'll write a proper closing arc one day.
There's still a chance!
Which series was that?
/r/HFY/comments/248g8d/oc_contact_procedures/
Buckle up, you're in for a wild ride!
TY!
Always happy to see my fellow HFYers out in the wild! To those curious about just what an HFY story looks like, the mod team has assembled a nice collection of stories deemed must reads for any fan of HFY. See here at https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/must_read
Woo! I used to post some stories a couple years ago. I keep telling myself I'll write some more when I have more free time..
heyyyyyyyyyyy ted :P
I've been subbed to HFY for about a year now, I didn't know this existed... well I've got some reading to catch up on! Thanks mate!
Be sure to check out the Classics too! https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/classics
Billy-Bob Space Trucker is probably my favorite story on the sub with 'Prey' and 'Transcripts' as close 2nds.
Transcripts is coming along wonderfully.
I love how it makes us bad-ass without making humans op or the aliens stupid like in most jverse stories
I don't get the sense that the xenos are completely gormless in the main story and the only side work I've read anything into was "Humans don't make good pets" in which everyone is a little extra flawed for the sake of comedy.
Jverse stories do tend to make the human so overpowered that they may as well be armored tanks with super-speed compared to the other aliens. And 'Humans don't make good pets' makes the aliens dumb as well (especially the blue giraffes) to the point where it's surprising they're capable of running anything as complicated as space travel.
Weerdo representing!!
This truly is an amazing sub with soooo much good content. Every time I start to feel like I've read all of the good material in HFY I stumble across another gem. It's one of my favorite subreddits to explore.
Gotta fly the banner!
Humanity, Fuck Yeah!
Lmao hey it's weird seeing you out here
Subscribed!
I used to not read for entertainment, then I found this place. The biggest series being I think at the million word mark, that took me a month and a half to get through.
I used to not read for entertainment
I imagine you sitting at home, staring at the wall and being extremely entertained by the absence of books infront of your eyes.
Took a second for that alternative meaning to clarify itself to me. As an aside I did once try not to read for a day, it was actually quite a challenge.
Fucking love these stories! Spent months reading the cannon
That happened to me when I stumbled across r/SCP
Is there anything similar for fantasy writing? :o
There are actually a ton of fantasy stories on there, too! Doesn't have to just be Sci fi!
Oh awesome ty ^^
Here's a list of hfy-appropriate content with fantasy.
My favourites from that first post are "A Hero's War" (don't let the generic title fool you, it's the only story so far where the protagonist actually does research on magic; the author has a pretty clever system there. Sadly it hasn't been updated in more than a month), and "Harry Potter and the Nat20" (which will probably not make sense for people unfamiliar with DnD, but is pretty hilarious. Also has an unfinished sequel).
"Release that Witch" has potential, but is hampered by bad translation, and fairly unintelligent characters.
"Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" is probably the most well-written and well-constructed one in there, but comes off as a bit preachy about its specific way of rational thinking.
Better than any of these are as good as the series the thread refers to; it also gets regular updates.
Thanks :D I'll take a look
I've been subscribed for a while now, but every time I look at it, it's always something like "Part 63" and I'm like "oh shit, don't have time for this."
Seeing writers out in another sub is like seeing a unicorn to me (Moar C1764 pls)
We do have lives!
By far and away one of the best subs on reddit. Loads of creativity, and some incredibly inventive authors. Also, the mods are really good too with regular updates, contests, and events.
I always welcome new pancake lovers.
Hell yeah one of my favorite subs. Ao many bored days at work reading about humans doing human stuff.
There was one about how humans could hear and this otherwise stronger creature got it's ass beat because of that, but I can't find it anywhere...
Weerdo! We need more! MORE!
Seconded this, my favorite subreddit.
Is there a sub for the opposite?
/r/me_irl?
Well I think I will be subscribing here. I've recently discovered that I love sci-fi novels. Read both of Becky Chambers books and now reading through The Expanse series (on book 3 no spoilers). Thanks for this link.
Do yourself a giant favor and read the Deathworlders. It's some of the best written sci-fi I've ever had the pleasure to read. The author is the sole reason I have a Patreon. I will happily pay that man to keep writing.
Can you link me somewhere that I can find it as I can find the description and the chapter names but not the links.
First few chapters are setup. Kevin Jenkins is a total dick, which is intentional (I think, he mellows out later).
Author clarified it in the comments on chapter 2 (or 3?) that Jenkins was designed to be the "asshole who gets shit done".
Is this the same Kevin from Askreddit teacher threads?
http://hfy-archive.org/book/deathworlders Be warned: The word "book" is in that link for a reason. Edit: reread your comment and realized you might be asking for the patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HamboneHFY
No, I was just not paying attention correctly. I had the archieve page and it seemed like a description page to me. I see my mistake now. Thanks :)
If you live in the US this is the most useful sub you never heard of. r/nocontract. I spent hours searching for something like this and couldn't find it and then saw a redditor casually mention it. It's a lifesaver. Basically, it has all the information you would want to choose a plan for your phone presented well and regularly updated. Plus, you can ask questions of the community and there's all sorts of information there
Tl;dr: r/nocontract gives you all the information you need to choose your phone service plan
Edit: You can also check opensignal to see which of the four networks are good in your area
I'm in the middle of switching carriers and was looking for something like this, I'll check it out. Thanks!
yup. been a loyal viewer of this sub for a long time. however.. still havent convinced my wife that we should pull the trigger on dropping the big V
There is also one about losing cable providers i forget the name though.
r/cordcutters
A gentleman and a scholar. I thank you
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you!!!
Shameless mod promotion:
/r/QTWTAIN, a sub which collects examples of media headlines in the form of a question to which the answer is self-evidently "no".
This is actually a really good idea, i hope it takes off
Will This Subreddit Take Off?
oh shit
I can't believe you've done this.
waddup
savage
Fucking love this comment.
Burned by their own theme.
Dang.
What Does This Subreddit Know?
Does it know things?
Let's find out!
You're doing it wrong.
It would take off if people would stop posting without reading the article
That's against everything we as internet commenters stand for.
Could More People Under 25 Voting Swing The Election Result?
RIP young voters.
I saw that, too! The answer is yes, young people!
[deleted]
No.
Is this the same thing as Betteridge's Law or am I missing a twist?
Til a new law of the internet. Also yes.
In their sidebar they outright say that the sub is based on Betteridge's Law.
Did you intend to craft your question inappropriately?
Okay hang on, first post I see is "are your clothes polluting the ocean?", to which the answer is yes since microplastic in synthetic clothes like polyester gets washed out of the clothes and goes into rivers.
Am I missing something here?
No. in the comments OP admits to having not read the article.
Ah, classic reddit. And I was questioning my sanity for a second there.
and op in that case is the mod too
I'd say part of the point of the sub though is that headlines are often misleading by being too simplistic in their wording, so as to sound slightly or very absurd so you'll click. So in this case, they want you to imagine jeans and sweaters floating around with the fishes.
From the headline and the first couple lines of the article I was thinking they want to make dirty clothes (aka literal dirt, deo stains, sweat) responsible for this.
Similar to /r/savedyouaclick
Except the answer is always no, instead of usually no.
Except some of the posts in that subreddit are actually "yes", but were left up because they were posted by the mod...
Wow, really? Unsubbed.
I wonder if Perd visits here for news ideas.
I do not. I don't even work in news.
"Are the US Dietary Guidelines on Milk Racist???"
Yeah immediately subscribed
So basically a Betteridge's law subreddit? Nice
Questions To Which The Answer Is No
[deleted]
Question Titles Where The Answer Is No.
Betteridges law is relevant here
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines
You have all the bad posts in that sub, like the queen hat one.
Hahaha I do this, out loud by myself to tv shows, if Ancient Aliens or something else ridiculous comes on. "Could these small discolorations in the ground be evidence the Incas were guided by extraterrestrial forces?"
"No."
The mod of the subreddit is a dunce and openly admits to not even reading articles where the answer actually is yes. A better (but way less active) sub is /r/BetteridgesLaw/ Based off the law by the same name that states when a news article asks a question in the headline, the answer is always no.
You gotta get rid of the Queen/EU flag hat post. That's 100% YES
Except it's not.
Boy, people give the BBC credit for it's reporting, but they are on your sub a scary amount
TBF I'm in the UK, so I see more from them than, say, the Melbourne Sun. And in fairness, the article does confirm more often than not that the answer is no.
No, I'm not bagging you for it, at all. I just didn't realize how much they did crappy click-baity headlines as much as everyone else
Cool. I like it.
Subbed, brilliant idea.
so... Pretty much all of them?
This subrddit is even better if you read post titles in Steven Fry's voice.
This is perfect
Thanks for the tip, just got your top post ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
Quality content will always rise to the top. Great find.
Subbed. I freaking hate that. It's like the first thing you learn in journalism.
Damn, you've been carrying that sub so hard lol. Props to you sir.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing
There is some prof or someone who said that virtually any vague headline in the form of a question is a no. You probably know that though if you mod a sub about it.
Yo can i be a mod?
It takes a special kind of person to ignore messages from whiny bitches complaining that the answer to this question is actually "yes" (it never is).
?
I'm not gonna lie, I really like the idea of the calories on the receipt idea. Maybe not for shopping but at a restaurant it would be awesome.
reminds me of r/nottheonion
/r/holdmycatnip its Hold My Beer, but for cats
Also, /r/holdmyjuicebox is like Hold My Beer, but for kids.
/r/holdmybutterbeer its Hold My Beer, but for wizards
So many new HM today. So happy.
I thought I had all the essential cat subreddits, but now I know I was wrong.
❣
Gods bless you for leading me to this sub.
/r/wicked_edge is a shaving sub, not angsty teens as you might think
I bought a 100 pack of blades suggested by this sub for 10 bucks a year and a half ago. I am about halfway through.
Which blades?
Probably the Astras.
They are pretty great.
Not Feathers?
Depending on your skin and razor, they can be pretty rough. They're sharp as hell, but my skin is pretty fair so I get a good amount of razor burn when I use them.
Nah, I just mean you always hear people gushing about how much they love their Feathers over in /r/wicked_edge.
My wife got some Astras a couple years ago and still has shitloads too.
Me too. I don't shave everyday so a blade lasts about a month. That's 100 months, or 8 years, worth of blades for under 20$!
I bought a 10 pack of Feather blades a year ago, and I'm about 1/3 of the way through my 2nd pack...31 years old and I still only have to shave once a week.
I bought a 100 pack of razors and a safety razor a year and a half ago. Same boat
Hello, fellow wet shaver :)
Hello
Oh I don't think so.
Eh...we're pretty cultish.....join us
It's how I shave now, I had the variety pack two years ago and still haven't even made a dent in it. Other than the upfront cost and shaving cream, which I still have tons of, it's way cheaper than cartridge razors and feels so smooth.
I bought 2 pucks of fancy soap 7 months ago and I'm wondering whether they'll outlive me.
I bought a pack of 5 pucks a year ago for 12 dollars. I am like 40% though the first one.
Someone in that sub helped me find some really good info about leather strop makers on there. I really need to contact one of the guys lol
The only reason I don't wet shave every other day anymore is because I grew a beard, and I think I look much better bearded than shaved. I still bring out the DE every few weeks to clean up the areas that shouldn't have hair on them.
I really miss wet shaving, which is really saying something for me, because I hated shaving all my life up until I started wet shaving.
/r/blackmagicfuckery
I just discovered this sub yesterday, the name makes it for me.

Had to click the "Show subreddit theme" to see it.
Worth.
And here I am, on mobile, not able to see this...
ROFL WHAT
I feel a lot of people will be posting the annoying question "why were they filming?"
/r/WhyWereTheyFilming
And there goes my day
Subbed!
The only reason this isn't higher is because no one who clicked it came back
Initially misread that as Black Midget Fuckery.
This is my new favorite sub ever. Thank you for sharing!
Yep, that's what that is: http://i.imgur.com/yARwIxR.gifv
It's like r/hmmm but for gifs! Fuckin excellent!
Where has this been all my life????
This is basically the gif version of cursed images, I love it haha
I'd forgotten about blackfudgicmackery
Def just subbed to this....
This is exactly the type of sub I was hoping for in this thread.
It was neat until the dead baby.
Sold
I won't subscribe to any of th...God damn it. Now I'm sold.
Amazing. I just spent a day in there!
/r/CatsISUOTTATFO
Cats inadvertently swatting unknown objects towards themselves and then freaking out.
I've been subbed to it for months, but I forgot what the letters stood for. Thanks for reminding me.
I never even remember all the letters. I somehow put together a pronunciation in my head "CATS-IS-OOH-AHH-TAH-FOH"
Yes! Me too.
How could I not know about this incredibly important sub already!?
New fave.
The sub name sounds Japanese.
Cats, いすおたたを！
The cat flying down the stairs in the Kleenex box won me over.
And here I thought I was subscribed to all the cat subreddits possible.
Oh fuck. WHY did I not know of this earlier!!!
Great, just what I need, another cat subreddit.
sigh
ziiiiiip
r/shubreddit
Exactly what I was expecting, still not disappointed.
I'm 50/50 on it being connery impressions or Shub-Niggurath related, only one way to find out.
Not gonna lie, kind of disappointed it wasn't the latter.
me too TBH , and I'm not even that into lovecraft
Y not both?
shtill not dishappointed.
FTFY
Eh I'm more a fan of r/shrubreddit but they're both good.
I read it that way too
First thing that came to mind when I read the name was Sean Connery saying it XD
I don't know what I was expecting, but that was truly amazing.
Immediately thought of Sean Connery and was relieved to discover that my hunch was spot on. I haven't searched yet but the SNL Jeopardy with Connery might be the highest form of comedy.
Exshellent. Thanksh.
I will be speaking in this manner the rest of the day.
God blesh you shir.

r/WtWFotMJaJtRAtCaB
Well I don't think I've ever muttered the phrase "why are you rinsing that?" under my breath so many times in quick succession before.
There's a post with pasta. That's in violation of the Geneva Convention I bet.
If you give your pasta a quick rinse after you drain it, it's not nearly so stuck together when it cools. It gets rid of most of the starch.
No judgements about if that's a thing one should be doing, but it is a thing that some people do.
That was how I was taught to make pasta. You cook it and then you rinse it, otherwise it all gets stuck together and that's nasty. The only other way to avoid the problem is to immediately sauce it, but then you'd be stuck cooking pasta multiple times for different meals, and nobody has time to wait for all that boiling.
[deleted]
Then the sauce doesn't stick to the pasta.
I thought this was common knowledge tbh. You just got finished cooking the pasta in water; what are they afraid the water is going to do, make the pasta soggy?
It washes away all the starch and makes it much harder for sauce to stick to the pasta.
Not if you're using good noodles, the noodles themselves should be porous and textured so that the sauce can adhere to it. The starch makes the noodles stick to themselves and makes your sauce congeal as soon as it starts to cool down.
Yeah or they could be cooling it for a cold macaroni salad.
But what if I have leftover pasta with tomato sauce, but I want pesto pasta the next day?
Don't take your poor life choices out on the pasta.
It was a dark time in my life
Just make more pasta.
The tomato has imbued the pasta, its too late for that
You mean Genovese.
Does this count?
Probably uncooked.
That's one with Barq's root beer onto ramen.....
To cool it? ._.
If you rinse your pasta, it stops the cooking process. It will still be warm and with sauce the temperature should be fine.
The issue isn't the temperature, it's that washing it gets rid of all the starch that makes sauce stick to the pasta.
To get it aJtRAtCaB, obviously.
I read the sub name, I read your comment, I explored the sub and at the 20th pic I loled.
I thought you were spelling out the title of the sub, and I was trying to imagine what the hell it could possibly be about based on your description.
Hahahahaha all the comments are just "Oh yeah" "Nice" "Fuck yes". I love it. It's so simple.
Or 'I'm subbed here?'
One of the top posts right now is a reminder to all that yes, you are still subbed here.
"Now I can pinpoint when my life officially became depressing."
As an already depressed person, this is the point where I decided to start living again. It's the simple things!
I am now
It's exactly what I want out of a sub like this. People don't over-discuss it, there's no question of if it's real or not, or how this sub has gone downhill. It's just people enjoying a pleasing sight.
Dammit, finally. I've been trying to understand his damn subreddit for 10 mins now. Thanks
Fucking excellent. Thank you.

:p u/ClicksOnLinks and also this one
"When the Water Flows over the Milk Jug at Just the Right Angle to Create a Bubble"
SFW. And pretty neat too.
You're welcome bro.
EDIT: Apparently i wrote your instead of you're. I'm stupid.
Edit2: i guess i'm a welcome bro now.
Well? What is my welcome bro doing? Don't hold out on me man!
Looking at pictures of When the Water Flows over the Milk Jug at Just the Right Angle to Create a Bubble.
I gotchu fam
He's clicking on subreddits and describing them to you, obviously.

Be the change!
Good God, thank you!
People are weird
You are also a person too, remember that
Quite the assumption, if you ask me.
People are are strange, especially when you're a stranger.
It's like the thing you wanted, but never knew you wanted
Did you just assume their species?

No he didn't actually.
Finally, I've been looking all over for this.
Just in case you are curious:
"When the Water Flows over the Milk Jug at Just the Right Angle to Create a Bubble"
There's also /r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG/
I feel like everyone there just can't admit they actually upvoted because of the girl.
I'm on the bus at 11:39pm heading home crying with laughter at this in sub-Reddit. Subscribed!
Do you happen to be from New Zealand? XD
You're damn right! Currently live here XD
Haha yeah I looked at my time and I was like GEE GOLY THATS MY TIME 15 MINS AGO! XD well hello...
wait are you guys in the past or the future
We are livin' in the future cuz! NZ is the first country to see the sun!
Great sub but it's the first hit on google when you type in the subject matter.
Good old reddit. You've got 16,000 people currently looking at that page, so god knows how many overall, yet only a tiny smidgen of them bother to give you an upvote.
The perfect subreddit doesn't exi-
I'm subscribed there but I don't remember subscribing and I have no idea what it is.
I'll take "Things I didn't realize I needed in my life until just now" for 200, please.
Subscribed!
WTF?? Yeah of course there's a sub for that.
Sort by top.
I saw all I needed to on the first page. It's a little compulsive in there.
Aaannnnnnd my day is complete. I didn't know I needed this.
This is oddly satisfying
That sub wouldn't exist if everyone used proper water conserving aerators.
...sigh...unzips
I think the water at my house is too hard to do that.
Lol 12k subscribers, 22k there now.
I'm so confused because I can't find the original post that inspired that sub.
Well, found what I'm subscribing to from this
This made me laugh far too much. Thank you for sharing this.
What have you done
When the Water Flows over the Milk Jug at Just the Right Angle to Create a Bubble
stands for: water flows at just the right angle to create a bubble
Wonderful
I've never wanted to go home and place objects in the sink as much as I do now.
It's so beautiful.
Goddamnit. Why would you share this perfect sub with the masses?
I'll sub, but cautiously...
but why am I so hypnotized by this?
Do people have separate accounts to browse shit like this? Like, I don't want posts like this clogging up my homepage but I also want to spend about 15 minutes a week looking at water flowing over milk jugs a creating bubbles.
This one delighted me far more than I expected it to.
r/oddlysatisfying
Never thought I'd need this until now...
They couldn't have just called it r/waterporn?
Anything is preferable to the idiotic ____porn naming scheme
This thread is about laminar flow
That's my fetish
This is the second time I've seen this sub Reddit show up in my feed today
r/ofcoursethatsathing
Fuck I'm trying to figure this one out. I can get when the water falls on the M J at just the right angle to creat a bubble? What's the M and the J?
Milk Jug
Obvious really isn't it?
Subbed
Wtf I'm dying lmao
Looks like a lot of wasted water to me. Fuck that shit.
/r/johncena for all of your pictures of potato salad
/r/potatosalad for all of your pictures of John cena
edit: my biggest comment is about potato salad.
Edit2: I'm just going to edit again because people are making a big deal that I edited.
Much like r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts
Pretty great communities in both. One guy posted to /r/trees with an actual question about fig tree maintenance and everyone gave him solid advice.
Happens around Christmas a lot too. People pop in asking for advise about what tree to get for their holiday and stoners giving them thoughtful and well informed opinions on actual trees.
People actually post trees to /r/trees on accident about once or twice a month, and 99% of the time, they both get referred to the correct sub and also get their questions answered as well.
I reckon they had so many people popping accidentally into that sub, they just became tree experts on the side.
And pineapples. We like pineapples too.
This always baffled me. What on earth does pineapples have to do with stoner culture?
I don't really get it myself, but I think it's because of a vague resemblance between the pineapple top and the shape of a pot leaf, and stoners being stoners. Personally I like pinapples because I like both the fruit & the plant.
In the end, both groups like plants.
This is still one of my favorite Reddit happenings. Such a bunch of helpful, neighborly stoners!
Same happened a month or so ago when a guy posted in /r/cocktails about his pet bird that had a cold. He also learned how to make Moscow Mules.
/trees is a pretty cool community on the whole.
i've been trying to remember that all day. there was something where someone needed like serious help and ended up on the wrong sub and they went above and beyond to help them anyway. I like that stuff.
Just like the guy that posted in r/gloveandboots with a question related to gloves. They were totally awesome about it and helped him out. He also made it into a Glove and Boots video about the whole misunderstanding.
[deleted]
Heh, mine went the other way. I was interested in actual trees and got a lot of weed instead.
/r/trees is a gateway sub.
gateway shrub

Edit: fuck, beaten to it
This is my favorite comment so far.
I was into both and found myself quite pleased :)
I checked how long you've been a member here and man have they changed the default subs A LOT over time
I would love to read that thread if you have a link please?

Thank you! Have a great day!

And then this one April fools day they reversed the content...
That's an actual, creative, April fools joke. I'm impressed.

"John Cena is as bland as potato salad."
You are the hero we all deserve.
*American
I completely disagree with the quote. John Cena is way more bland than good potato salad.
No Patrick mayonnaise is not an instrument
reddit makes no sense sometimes
but its cool
What's the story behind that?
Trees is codeword for fresh weed. stoners took that sub first, so then tree enthusiasts took Marijuanaenthusiasts for themselves.
No, you fucking pothead, I meant what's the story behind John Cena and Potato Salad ;^)))
John Cena's wrestling character has been said to be as bland as potato salad.
Thanks
He's talking about the John Cena one I think
This is gold https://www.reddit.com/r/JohnCena/comments/6gtyyr/john_cena_stories_needed_how_has_john_cena_made/
omg this made me snort
Cocaine?
No, potato salad.
I think you meant John Cena
John Cena is potato salad. Get it together, man.
Why is reddit like this?
Upvoted for the second edit
My mind is being blown by all I didn't know existed.
The sidebars...
Love it.
This is why I love the internet
Fine speech
i love reddit
And John Cena
Can you smell what John Cena is cooking?!
You mean about John cena?
How do these things happen.
And you ruined your biggest comment with a cringe edit
It's a nice personal moment to get an all-time highest comment score, but it's really not something you need to share in an edit. It means nothing to us.

Sort of. You're only allowed to use footage from infomercials.
So like... ShittyQVCgifs
no clue
This sub makes as much sense to me as /r/me_irl
Hilariously, I just entered that forum....and quickly left. I'm in the ????? crowd for damn sure
I still don't get this sub lol
!!!!!
That sub never ceases to give me side aches from laughing
What's the theme? I don't understand most of the content :(
They take ridiculous looking infomercial content and give it alternate context.
Ohhhh thanks!
Well now I'm disappointed my sides don't ache from laughing. I went in expecting too much. Thanks a lot dude :c
It used to, but then someone pointed out that these "ridiculous" infomercials are essentially coded for disabled people and then laughing at it left a nasty taste in my mouth.
I don't get it
[removed]
Ooooooooh, it's "where did the SODA go". I always read it as "the so DAGO" and always wondered what a dago was. I am evidently not smart.
Dago is an ethnic slur referring to Italians, or sometimes Spaniards.
A doggo is part of the gud boi section of the canine family. Making up the majority of canines.
Technically, "dago" is an ethnic slur towards Italians... so... there you go.
a slur taken from the greek god Ogad, believed to be written in Shakespearean texts, around or about the time of Christ's birth.
[deleted]
No. It's from the phrase "as the day goes", which described Italian day labour in the late 19th-early 20th centuries.
Wikipedia says otherwise but I'm not a slur expert so I'll take your word for it :) plus yours is more interesting lol
First glance I thought it was about Italian landscapers
Watching the progression of that sub the day it was created was amazing.
What the hell. There wasn't even a spill?
It's likely a prop. Watch the legs of the table on the right. The cup is launched into the foreground.
wasn't it this one?
http://i.imgur.com/IBN2l.gif
Yeah, it was
I still don't get the name though. I guess the soda went in the cup?
It's a reference to this a bit further down the original comment chain.
His soda vanishes completely during the tray being shaken.
This is what I thought it was about initially. But then it became about making a story out of a random bit from an infomercial. How did that happen?
But then it became about making a story out of a random bit from an infomercial. How did that happen?
Quote from the original comment that also linked the tray gif:
"I would subscribe to a subreddit created for taking infomercials out of context"
People just took that and ran with it. So in a sense, /u/bootoonoo's probably off-hand remark spawned the idea for a whole subreddit.
I guess that makes sense.
Praise the hivemind.
Thank you thats fucking incredible
They take infomercials and recaption them to make an unexpectedly funny scene. At least it is what it used to be, it's kinda of gone down hill in creativity.
Yeah now there are too many gifs of unfunny scenes trying to be captioned as funny.
oh you mean just like the rest of reddit!
infomercials/"as seen on tv" taken out of context to see how ridiculous they act/are
Its infomercials taken out of context and given new titles to make the clip way more funny.
It all started with 1 clip where a can of soda seemed to disappear without explanation when a guy fumbled a tray of food...from an infomercial.
Absolutely love that sub
Fuckin A, this is awesome.
I was introduced to this sub by a co-worker last year, and it certainly did not help with productivity
The titles are what make it for me, some of them are absolutely genius.
Also /r/youdontsurf, doing the same sort of thing with stock photos and footage.
Both of these are god tier subs for a laugh.
Thank you for this! Snorted my coffee up my nose.
This is the best thing I've ever found on Reddit thank you kind sir/ma'am
I personally got sick of how they started trying to narrate fake stories instead of letting people enjoy the gifs. Now that I look back I see thats all it is now.
Subbed! this is great
This is wonderful.
lol this is great thanks for sharing
I was in the thread the day this was born. Basically an uncle or something.
Uncle Corey. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it
relevant sub /r/youdontsurf
Thank you for posting this
I was about to post this one, but then remembered I didn't like my shoes.
The footage that these gifs are made from make me wince. Like, what are the actors saying to each other? Actual words, or just mumbling? I like to think they spin a plausible sentence or two, to avoid soul-crushing.
This is GOLD!
Is this like shitty reaction gifs?
Sort by top / all times. The one with the cane going down the stairs and the popcorn going through a vortex might be the most fucking hilarious shit I've seen this year. It made me cry.
Thank you

Thank you for this
It took me a minute. Then I was crying. Ingenious.
similarly /r/youdontsurf
i am crying laughing. thank you so so much.
At first I read this as "where did the so dago". Figured it was about insulting Italians.
Wow! This is amazing! Definitely on the "I didn't think I needed this so badly even a second ago" category!

The squirrel water skiing gets me every time.
Battle Stations used to be my favourite game in the world.
The art was originally cartoonish, bright and beautiful. They changed it and then they changed it again. Now some may prefer the new "dark and gritty" art style. But the problem is, it remained a Facebook flash game - so the added realism or detail in the new art style just made the art look drab and indistinct. This extended to the very background pages of the game, which went from being nice and bright to dull and dark.
Another graphical change came along as part and parcel of the new graphics. Previously, when you changed the parts you had equipped on your ship, you would see the results: there would be a nice big sail if you had a sail equipped (each sail item had its own distinct sail graphic) and so on for figureheads etc. But big sails sticking out of these new scifi style ships would look stupid - so they took them away. I remember getting my first rare sail, the Demon sail, and seeing the huge glowing red canvas with the black demon's head in the middle. Now, changing sail or figurehead just changes a tiny squiggle on a small circle somewhere on the ship art. Worst of all is the removal of the cannon barrel graphics - cannons were the most popular weapon type, and if you equipped them, you would get to see the barrel of the kind of cannon you had equipped...but not any more. The best cannons in the game when the old art still existed were Yamato cannons and they had animated flashing lights going up and down the side, it's a great lament of mine that I wasn't able to reach a level high enough to use them before the art was changed and they were no more.
One thing I used to love doing in the game was a port raid - this was when your clan would go to a certain port and sink anyone there. You can't do that now, though, because the PvP list was changed to show every captain in your range, whatever port they are in. This includes the Flying City of Aeros, which in the lore is a safe harbour, and for most of the game's lifespan did not allow PvP. Speaking of ports and their lore, originally each port had a distinct character - the desert city of Al Amraan, the Corxas jungle, the oriental styled Jade Harbour - each selling weapons and parts that reflected that character, tough, bulky gear and defensive ships from Al Amraan, fast parts and missiles and fast high capacity ships from the pirates and smugglers in Corxas, etc. But that's all gone, because the developers decided that having the player travel through the world that they created might confuse them, so now each port holds only weapons, parts and ships for a certain level range - one wonders how Al Amraan and Imperial could be at war for long when everything for sale in Al Amraan is much stronger!
On the subject of ships, at one point two ships were introduced, the Gunship and Ice Breaker. They were vastly better than the other ships at that level. Well done on putting your own material out of business - hardly anyone used the four normal ships at that level range. You got these ships with War Medals! A new currency introduced to try and make people do more clan war. Never mind that clan war was supposed to be for people with clan spirit who actually wanted to do such things, and not to be endured just so you could get a super ship. It may have pushed more people to join clans, but it hurt individual clan identity. Another currency introduced even later was Ember. Some very good weapons needed Ember to get, but how did you get Ember? By doing Skirmishes, a sort of special Clan PvP thing, which had its own pros and cons, but suffice to say if you wanted these weapons and had to spend your AP doing Skirmishes, unless you were an Ocho Whore (as they are known), you wouldn't have AP left to Clan War. Clans had their own PvP anyway, it was called a Port Raid.
The game used to have a repair system where you could repair your ship with AP or gold. If you chose gold, you could repair to 1 less HP than your maximum (or 99%, when the repair system was changed). If you did this, then your ship appeared as "damaged" in the PvP list. A good player might "fish" in this manner for hours, with much success. "Fishing" was a time honoured activity. But not any more, because now fishing is consigned to the garbage dump, as now all ships automatically repair to full HP after combat finishes! This also hurts "sniping", which was attacking someone involved in a clan war. Each clan had a fortress, and could declare war by attacking the other clan's fortress (which could be defended too). Attacking in a clan war removed your protection from PvP (something that existed for a few hours after having salvaged your ship), and would most likely damage you if you met an enemy defender. So astute PvPers would pay attention to when a clan salvaged their fort to start a war, and target members from that clan in the PvP list who would be busy at war - often easy pickings due to being damaged by defenders, and often a slow target due to the mechanics of clan war encouraging this. But that's also all gone due to the autorepair AND the fact that attacking in a clan war no longer removes PvP protection! Removing sources of player interaction in your MMO game - genius.
Genius which was repeated again and again. For example, now in the PvP list you can attack sunk players! You get to fight them from full HP, but they don't get any exp or gold or even know that you fought their "ghost". Removing the P from PvP. Also in the auction house, which players used to use to sell weapons and parts. They still do, but not as much. Because now you can only sell rare weapons and parts, not common ones. Also, it used to show the captain name of both the seller and the highest bidder, so you could potentially bag the weapons of famous players from the market - but not any more. Because player interaction in an MMO is a BAD THING. Now, to even use the auction house, you have to spend gold and resources building one on your island! Compare it to my experience as a new player, one of the first things I saw when I started playing the game was the auction house, which anyone could see, and when I saw all the items being sold and bought and all the captains doing it, I was entranced.
Soon after seeing the auction house, I happened upon something else in the game. A help page, that linked to the wiki, to a guide, and at the bottom, a Tavern Chat. It had trolls, it had players trying to help other players, it had people just chatting about whatever, even the developers sometimes stopped in. I spent hours in there, first as a noob, then as a veteran. My clan was famously born from the Tavern Chat. But there is no more Tavern Chat. It was removed. But there is a Global Chat. How do you send a message in the Global Chat? You spend 1 Ocho. Yes, you need to spend real money. I could say a lot about this, but none of it would be pleasant to read, so I'll move on to the Tavern. The Tavern page still exists. It doesn't have a chat in it, though. It simply lets you buy alcohol. What does alcohol do? Improve your crew's morale. What does morale do? Well, if you have morale, your skills that activate under certain conditions (as opposed to randomly) will certainly activate (at the cost of morale). If you run out, you're at the mercy of the RNG. RNG which never used to be in the game, as skills were a late addition. So if you like consistency, you're going to be visiting the chatless Tavern a lot, clicking over and over to slowly refill your morale. Or you can spend 1 Ocho to fill it to max...or better still, you can get a skill that disables all skills (except one or two, because of course...)! It's called Sabotage. And you only get it if you've spent $270 on the game. Yes. $270 on a Facebook flash game that's done its very best to make itself a crock of crap. Be my guest! (BTW, the top tier of rewards for spending money in the game is unlocked after spending about $11000. Think no one has it? Think again.
The captain listings are littered with the long retired accounts of people who paid thousands and thousands of dollars for this free to play Facebook flash game. I personally knew someone who spent his college fund to become a top levelled player...it didn't last long. If he ever came back to the game, by this time he'd be a low level nobody. But it's not just the upfront spending that stinks. Under the table deals were once commonplace. For example, the in game Ocho shop would only let you buy two Chainsaw Blades, or two Hammers of War (powerful weapons that, at one point, were the hallmark of a player who had defeated an event boss monster, extremely rare and enough to make a player something of an in game hero - ah, those were the days...current events, such as they are, have a set prize list and instead of being a boss monster that any player had a chance to get the last hit in on, are huge AP sinks that literally require buying AP to get most of the prizes), but if you PMed one of the developers, what do you know? You could buy six of either! Talk about the haves and have-nots. This, of course, produced a scandal, and such blatant under the table deals no longer exist...but conveniently the clan with the player who has paid the most money into the game seems to be able to circumvent most accusations of cheating, along with other issues. If you really want to know more, browse the game's forums (from which I am banned, simply for saying such things as I have said here).
I can still hope against all the odds that one day, it will return with the art I loved, simple and carefree, without pay to chat, without pay to win, and with fishing, sniping and port raids for all to enjoy. One day, maybe, I'll get my Yamato Cannons. But until then, I still have my memories.
TLDR?
That was the memories of years of playing that took well over an hour to type up, do you really expect me to condense it into a glib few lines for the inattentive? Catering for bears of very little brain is what got Battle Stations into the mess it's in!
Catering for bears of very little brain is what got Battle Stations into the mess it's in!
maybe people just want a quick blurb of info because they don't really care enough to read your novel?
Look out! Soviet's gonna write another Ivanhoe to answer what should've been a rhetorical question. You're thinking, "c'mon, seriously?" But said Soviet is thinking, "yes!"
Yeah, I had to say it aloud before I understood the handle. It's just like my own handle. "P-saaay... ton. Oh, sheesh."
Is there compromise? Probably not. I'm on your side about it.
Soviet has convinced me that I also don't get this yet either. Obviously I could. However that very answer, along with the process of getting to it, would disfigure me into the type of person that gets pissed off at myself from ten minutes ago. I'm too old for that. So why bother?
Have a break, check out some of the much lovelier subreddits mentioned in this thread. I've created two new multis just to track the ones I like.
Ever so sorry I can't convey the experiences I had playing a game for hours almost every day for over 5 years in short enough a manner to keep your attention. At its best I basically lived on Battle Stations. Spent most of the day on the chat/forum (both kaputt now).
Which makes my modern day Ivanhoe the life and times of a loser, perhaps. But to anyone curious about the game Battle Stations that was mentioned, it's probably the most authoritative account you're going to come across. I'd love to answer questions people have about the game. Sad or not, it holds great memories for me.
But I didn't write all that to truncate it massively because someone couldn't be bothered reading it all. If you're not interested, you're not interested. Move on.
If they don't care about what I have to say, why should I give a rat's arse about what they want in my post? As my reply indicated, this is the summation of years of experiences, it cannot be a quick blurb of info, and to make it so would defeat the point. But I'll have a go.
TLDR: If you don't want to read about my years and years playing Battle Stations and how it changed for the worse again and again, go read someone else's comment!
No, we just don't care enough to read it but are intrigued by a large wall of text about some mobile game.
Well if you ever get intrigued enough to actually read it, it'll be there for you.
The initial art style was much better, I agree.
I was an early player, I knew and spoke by chat to the Tyler games people and it was a sad day when Reuben Kee died in a dragonboat accident. I paid for their Mobile Weapon game and also 20 bucks for the development fund, before Battlestations came to Facebook.
I used to be a clan officer for Temasek and Vengeance clans.
It's been 10 years.... already, wow. Arguably it was the game which taught me a lot about economics and market manipulation.
The times pass....
Edit: I understand your point, but even for Tyler people, Battlestation was a stepping stone in their postgraduate education, it was never meant to be something very durable. Also, it was only a matter of time they'd do pay to play once the game was on facebook and the munchkin minmaxers and professional traders and speculators appeared in the market.
I remember when Ackbar got punished for manipulating the resource market and quit the game. Temasek was before my time, but I remember Vengeance (and Elron) very well. I think I share my join date with Ronald Chiu, of all people.
You could say it's gone pay to play, but it's got to the point of the soul having been sucked out of the game. I bought Ocho back when the game was good, but I would never buy it now. They have streamlined the game to target only the compulsive Ocho buyers with loads of money, and the actual game quality has suffered tremendously - the average person who might have bought Ocho then, I suspect, wouldn't consider it worth it now.
But it's probably more profitable to not care about the average Ocho buyer and target the ones with loads of money who just want to be high on the level rankings no matter what. Charging Ocho to use the chat is just ridiculous. If you could only go back in time and warn people, it would probably never be allowed to happen. No one would have even believed it could ever come to that back in the day. Oh well...
You may like this archive of old replays in the initial art style.
Wow, thank you so much for the archive.
To me the time to quit was when I found out my competitors and co-officers were using trading bots and timed money exchanges (before the creation of a cutoff sales tax - so that only those who were informed could get the right thing and pay the "right" amount) and using excel to calculate and predict the plasma rock distribution probabilities. That was the very early stage of Ocho coin usage.
I see that the developers didn't stop breaking the game at that point either and the Ocho for chat usage is completely unknown and saddening to me, as it just destroys the community upon which the popularity of the game was built...
The community is destroyed, Facebook removing its own forum feature didn't help (I think that was a crazy thing for them to do, personally), but even the private Battle Stations forum is almost completely dead and months go by without anyone posting on it - even though many people are still playing the game.
I think that says it all. The players are there, but the community is dead. People just use their AP and log back off. Player interaction is largely gone. And the sad thing is that some people might think this is just a natural thing for an old game, even though I can list multiple changes that contributed to this decline and even now could be reversed. Bringing back the free chat, bringing back fishing and sniping, getting rid of skirmish (perhaps tying ember into PvP proper) and being able to PvP sunk ships, and making the ports unique again and not having one single PvP list would all help to breathe life back into BS. I also thing the old art would be more welcoming, but that's more of a personal thing lol.
The game isn't near-dead because the devs stopped updating it, it's nearly dead because player interaction has been stifled (I suspect deliberately, to make the game lower-maintenance).
I was friends with Justifier Lee on Facebook, until she married. To think of it now, it was a bit pathetic.

What annoys me about that sub is the random capitalisation. It just completely gives it away when scrolling my front page. Also, I like the simple reddit style display of text.

It can't be disabled on mobile. And yes it does make the sub worse, that's your opinion
But then, when you see a normally named post, you think "holy shit, is this post NSFL for real?"
That's the exact reason why they do it, it just has the opposite effect for you
I mean, that's kind of a good thing. As soon as I see that capitalization, I know I can safely click the link without having to immediately check what sub it's from. I figure that's part of why they do it, at least.
They do it on purpose so people don't think it's actually a NSFW/NSFL video
For me, what ruins it is how it goes through phases of essentially Bing r/aww.
It's part of the joke and whole premise
As I understand it, it's supposed to give it away. People want to be sure that the link they're about to click is SFW and differentiated from somebody actually dying. It's reddit, those kind of videos do pop up sometimes, and there's a subreddit dedicated to people dying for real.

Take another look at the sub. I think you missed the concept.
[deleted]
The words alone are too much?
There's a lowercase mode on the sub itself.
CSS hack. If anything, scrambled should be the hack.
Everything about the style adopted by that sub is annoying as fuck.
if you subscribe to morbid reality and PFD you quickly become thankful for that formatting
Yes!
And also it reminds me of that shitty spongebob meme.
it's a default fucking sub now, I'm starting to think you just don't reddit very well
I want to like that sub, but I can't get past the stupid title formats.
Click on "lowercase mode" in the sidebar.
What about mobile?
Tap on "lowercase mode" in the sidebar.
Doesn't work
You gotta right tap.
I can't pull over any further...
Have you tried setting it to wumbo?
The title formats are intentional, so that people don't mistake them for actual tragedies.
[deleted]
They actually amuse me, because I read the uppercase letters as louder than the lowercase, often making the title sound like it's being garbled out by some maniac as he runs by me on the street. Idk, that's just where my mind goes

I'm with you, that and the cutesy titles with intentionally misspelled words, annoys me enough to take 2 seconds out of my scrolling to downvote that stuff.
Is this a literal title?
Nah the point is overexaggeration. Like a dog and a cat cuddling then the cat biting the dog playfully will be posted with the title DisGuSTInG InterzsPECIESA bEstIALity wiTH a brUTal cAnniBAL.

I was thinking this was more along the lines of people dying... while fucking.
How depressed will I feel after clicking that link?
I took the bait, very depressing.
All the way depressed. Even reading the thread titles will do it.
Some people seem to just fund it fascinating. I haven't browsed it though.
I have a strong stomach or lack of emotional response like autism to things like that but I couldn't deal with the number of posts. It just doesn't make sense to me why people want to see things like that on their front page.
A reason I've seen a few times is that people think it'll desensitize them from that kinda stuff which would be useful if it happens to them irl. Except, you know, it wouldn't do shit if they had to deal with a corpse irl - they'd still panic like the rest of us.

Good for You, mate. I mentioned this sub on a thread about misleading sub names and was downvoted. Glad somebody was able to get the word out.
i can not see button to subscribe. how to do it?
If you're on a PC hover over the link to the sub and hit subscribe on the pop-up.
Looks like a similar genre as HoldMyBeer, HoldMyCosmo, HoldMyJuice, ThereWasAnAttempt.
Basically people falling down or fucking up in a funny way, staple AFV.

r/jukmifgguggh/
To those who don't know, The Subreddit was created when a guy posted a showerthought saying "I would never know if Google really had 580,000 results" and someone said that you can know because if you search Jukmifgguggh you will get 0 results. Then Reddit redditfied it and now it have results.
This is like the time a redditor made up the word 'pecklesteiner' to describe a minor inconsistency with two doors on a counter strike map and was later mentioned in the patch notes when fixed. The word came out of nowhere and doesn't mean anything. See: https://m.imgur.com/r/GlobalOffensive/a65XyLh https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/61crdx/csgo_patch_notes_use_a_made_up_word_by_a_redditor/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_list
a minor inconsistency with two doors on a counter strike map
It does mean something now tho
Just like in that Andrew Clements book "Frindle"
Kinda reminds me of the Wadsworth constant.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/kxfxy/comment/c2o1cyy
It actually got implemented on Youtube, so you can add “&wadsworth=1” to automatically jump 30% into the video.
When I see things like this, I wonder if the dev promoted that outside of the auth'd channel, or snuck it past a code review. I know I've done it.
So he Frindled it.
So...just so I understand: what exactly was a pecklesteiner while it still pecklesteined (before we knew it was a pecklesteiner)?
It passed Googlewhack status long ago :(
Then reddit jukmifggugghed it and now you have results
FTFY
I was there for that :')
That reminds me of that long number that always leads to google results of people sticking their head in a freezer...
Edit: 241543903
This reminds me of Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure. Basically, he'd find a google search with only 1 result, then track down the person responsible for that site and get them to find a single result search too (a Googlewhack). Resulting in a sprawling adventure.
Its a fun watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpkmbsQupQ
To be fair, unless I'm missing something you still wouldn't know if Google really had 0 results. It just means that reddit's influence generated additional visible results from there on out, but even those might not be comprehensive.
A lot like /r/quizzaciously. Same idea, but originating from a Vsauce video. It's pretty dead now, though.
Link plz
Stop excgarating!
Also for some reason on /r/mildyinfuriating the sub name on the actual sub says /r/jukmifgguggh instead.

Challenge accepted. asdgjfdasdkj!
Jukmifgguggh...
Surprised that's not an Icelandic volcano.
jukmifgguggh is now at around 58700 results. Holy crap.
It's now an official word i guess :D
Just like covfefe.
Just like New Zealand is an official place now?
Not on my map it isnt
What about covfefe?
Jukmifguggh mahnigguh!
Well you don't jukmifgguggh
1/10 of the way there, then
dafuq there's even a song
Reminds me of Icelandic
It does sound like people's bastardized pronounciation of eyjafjallajokull or something.
I looked up how to pronounce that. If you say the letter 'j' with a 'y' sound (like "ya"), and the 'll's with a 'tl' sound (like the middle of "catlike"), you come pretty close.
The first 'gg' and the last 'h' are inconsistent with Icelandic grammar. But even if you remove those letters "jukmifgugg" makes no sense in Icelandic.
There's a rap group in Russia with a strange name. When asked what does it mean, they told it means nothing. It's just a word they came up with which had 0 Google results before they started. Nowadays every result with this word is about them.
Apparently this was still a bad idea, because even you who has heard of them, have completely forgotten their name.
So they're googlewhacks
Kinda the opposite. They all decided that "word" wasn't going to be a googlewhack anymore.

/r/wheredidthesodago taking clips from infomercials and explaining in silly ways what they're trying to do.
The latter used to be really cool, but it kind of succumbed to the same problem a lot of these 'caption this' subreddits do where it just keeps getting more and more offensive, and less and less funny - people just keep pushing the envelope until we have shit like, 'Jim tries to hide his child porn collection' which isn't really that great aside from shock value.
Could say that about /r/bertstrips too
/r/wikiwhat is also pretty cool in a similar manner
There is a sub that is set in the Marvel Universe. I stumbled upon it by complete accident. All posters are to act as if they are citizens in the New York area, and react to new heroes as they emerge in the MCU. It was absolutely bizarre, and I only found it because I clicked "Random subreddit". I didn't subscribe, but I wish I had. I am pretty sure the name of it was just a bunch of random numbers. Doubt I could find it again.
Took a bit of searching, but I found it. /r/Earth199999/
I didn't expect to even get noticed. Thanks for the love.
Nice! I spend most of the time that anyone good looking isn't onscreen daydreaming about daily average life when I watch Marvel movies. Underrated gold in that sub.
This is beautiful

Ahh ok. Shit I wish. Have a good one amigo
Someone needs to make a /r/whatIsThatOdor subreddit, specifically because it would serve a purpose, but unlike how people can identify things on the internet from photos, a subreddit would be a terrible means of describing and identifying an odor. It would have to rely on personal description and interpretation.
The problem is we don't have the kind of language we need for smells. Which sucks because smells do have traits that can be noticed and repeated. We just never bothered teaching each other how to properly describe them.
A sort of smelly smell
that smells... smelly...
We should have like RGB but for odors, which would be more than 3 distinctives.
Once I got into craftbeer I learned a lot more to describe smells
I would sub if someone makes this.
Is clove the distinctive flavour in Fisherman's Friend lollies?

WHY
The joke is that people who watch wrestling think that John Cena is about as interesting as potato salad.
[deleted]
Nowadays sure, but from like 2008-2012 or so he was Hogan-esque in his blandness as in every single match involved him being beaten up by the 'heel' or baddie for ten minutes then he'd pop up, suddenly totally healed and super-strong, slam them, Five Knuckle Shuffle taunt move, Attitude Adjustment finisher and boom Cena wins again lol
What he's done for the business via PR and charity work is undeniable and he's good now he's kind of in a 'beloved and slightly aging former star having to up his game against talented newbies' stage, but us long-term fans...we suffered through some shit, yo.
Edit: spelling
So he was Roman reigns
Yep. Except actually liked and with a personality of his own lol
Nah, Adult fans hated (and some still hate) Cena because his character is pretty much guaranteed to be the wholesome face forever.
He is gold, however, for kids, especially sick and disabled ones, who he often visits and works with Make-a-wish. For that demographic, the "Never Give Up" mantra is inspiring, and his willingness to spend his time doing that good for kids means he will likely never be the most interesting character for adult fans.
Roman Reigns, on the other hand, is just being pushed all the time, and he isn't a good character, he isn't a bad character, he's just a character.
Belee dat
It is not bad to be a 'good' version of Gary Stu :-)
With five moves of doom instead of three.
They know what they're doing with reigns. There's no way EVERYONE in the whole company is this dumb. Reigns will be known by history as the greatest heel of the "smark" era.
Sounds like early Dragonball Z
Will our heroes do anything significant? Find out next time...on DraGON! BAll! Zeee!!!!
Seriously, that show had to have been a fuckin' drag.
I joke. In all seriousness it was a great show, one of my absolute favorites as a kid. One does have to admit that it did have a tendency to drag on.
Early DBZ? It's still like that. Literally everybody is just a jobber that exists for no other purpose than to get beat up by the big bad and/or small fry villains so that Goku can come out on top.
I meant how Saiyans were a new thing and their defining trait was getting astronomically stronger after almost dying
Oh. Well, they didn't reveal that until Namek IIRC, so it wasn't really when Saiyans were first introduced.
Come for the fighting, stay for the drama. Wrestling is literally just a cleverly disguised soap opera
SENSU BEAN!
Goku proceeds to power up for the next 50 episodes
Not enough standing in place and yelling to charge up.
VIRGINIA! Hanging out with little boys in spandex again, are we?
Let's just admit it's because Roman reigns had taken over his role
Roman wants to be the next Cena but he's been shoved down our throats so much he never can be.
Plus he still uses the Shield music and body armor, he has no personality of his own.
Okay, Cena was at first a bad Vanilla Ice parody then a boringly squeaky-clean all-American superhero, but at least he made it work.
Reigns should be Batman to Cena's Superman, a dark, brooding badass who swoops in, kicks the shit of someone he hates, then fucks off.
None of this 'One against all' shit, yet another squeak-clean babyface fighting against the forces of evil.
Plus they're trying to book him as both a valiant, heroic underdog battling impossible odds AND an all-powerful superhero who's the strongest around :/
You need to watch your mouth. It's Roman's yard now. /s
thought you were talking about the hulkster at first
Yeah, Vince McMahon has a set way he likes his top guys - squeaky-clean all-American babyfaces who get beaten up but 'miraculously' overcome the odds, completely shrug off all damage and 'save the day' by stomping the baddies.
Hogan, Warrior...then at first The Rock (back when he was 'Rocky Maivia'), then of course Cena...
And now Roman Reigns is the latest one to be shoved down our throats in this manner - difference being he hasn't got a tenth of the showmanship or charisma of the others I mentioned :/
maybe works better as a heel?
So he was a shounen MC.
#cenawinslol
every single match involved him being beaten up by the 'heel' or baddie for ten minutes then he'd pop up, suddenly totally healed and super-strong, slam them, Five Knuckle Shuffle taunt move, Attitude Adjustment finisher and boom Cena wins again
This sounds like every Jean-claude van Damme movie
I know lol, it's like Vince McMahon watched a load of shitty action flicks and just had his own personal action figures act them out :)
At the same time, he still proved to be a very, very solid hand. He gives people who aren't remembered for good matches, their best matches.
Cena made Khali look good.
Cena could always do it. The superman booking was the thing that sucked, not Cena's ability.
Oh absolutely, I agree there. Cena is a true 'ring general' - although he sometimes calls spots a little too loudly lol - and that's something Roman is a long way from being, if he ever gets there at all.
Sounds like anime
They renamed the F-U and the STF-U? I was a fan from 2002-2008 so I'm undoubtedly outdated on these issues.
Yup. FU now AA (Attitude Adjustment), STF-U now just STF.
Didn't change the Five Knuckle Shuffle though - guess they didn't think people would see the 'dirty' connotation lol
So he's basically the new Dwayne Johnson.
His recent status as beloved has to do with demonstrating some decent chops on the screen IMO.
He was great in Tour de Pharmacy
More like 08-15. Wasn't really til his US Title run everyone kinda fell back in love with him. Helped he kept putting over Styles clean.
Helped he kept putting over Styles clean.
And Daniel Bryan in '13, but yeah, his U.S open challenge thing was amazing in many ways - it let him also make stars of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn too as I recall.
Nowadays sure, but from like 2008-2012
--
has been on an absolute roll the last couple of years
OP explicitly said "these past couple of years".
Yes. And I said "Nowadays, sure, but..." then referenced his earlier work for comparison and so people could understand the 'potato salad' thing.
Which is what started this thread in the first place.
It's like you just picked a comment at random to respond to without reading the others lol
All Op said was "nowadays Cena is loved". You responded with "yeah well maybe nowadays but back then when everybody hated him, everybody hated him, and sure he's loved now but people still hated him back then". I explained this to you.
You also downvoted my comment for no reason other than disagreement.
No, I downvoted you for being a pedantic jackass, actually. Surprised you're not more used to it.
and sure he's loved now but people still hated him back then
I also didn't in fact say that, so that's an odd accusation.
You're very upset over somebody explaining something to you. I'm sorry you're this way.
It helps that he's basically been out of the main event scene since 2015. For the past 2 years he's been putting on fantastic matches with newer talent in the midcard rather than burying them at the top of the card.
He did tie Flair's 16-time world champ record recently though. Where were you this time Jon Stewart?!
Yeah that's true. But it was also Cena's 4th world title shot in 2 years (Rumble '15, Summerslam '15, No Mercy '16 and Rumble '17), compared to either holding the title or getting a title shot every PPV.
And he only held it for 2 weeks. Cena was the definition of a transitional champion, and now he's back in the midcard scene.
Basically, my point is that Cena is definitely moving away from the main event as he becomes more of a part timer than a full time guy. Although he'll probably have another world title run soon to break Flair's record.
You are spot on with the assessment of how rare his title shots became (and going 1-3 is unexpected for Cena)
SS '15 was just magical, though.
edit: Turns out I have forgotten exactly when Brock gave Cena the 16 suplexes
It was. White power ranger Seth Rollins holding the WWE and US titles at the same time.
Plus the rest of SS'15 was pretty good.
I forgot about white power ranger Seth. Man I wish he would go back to that and quit being so damn boring.
I guess what I'm saying is I loved cocky, chickenshit Seth
Yeah they really fucked up Seth's face turn. Having him return as a heel was a big mistake, and then Triple H betrayed him and then nothing happened for months.
Plus he's not been the same since returning from injury. He's definitely lost some in-ring ability or confidence.
SS'14 was Brock suplexing Cena all over the place.
For a second I thought that couldn't possibly be right but then I remember I got back into watching the night of Summerslam '13. It was a solid year until that, it just felt like longer because of how great and then deflating the Daniel Bryan saga was.
I had no idea he was a wrestler until recently, I was like who is that jacked, funny guy in movies now?
The Rock
his child molesting robot, was one of the best things on snl in years.
Uh what
on snl
sorry, I'll speak up.
his child molesting robot
At first I was thinking he owned a child molesting robot and was quite perturbed.
That had me crying
Dave Bautista
You mean the guy in those new hit movies "Suburban Commando" and "Mr Nanny"?
Oh wow it never even occurred to me that he has crossed over so much that people could think this. He's been in wrestling for about 15 years now and still going strong
He actually debuted in 1999!
Geez that's madness
Lot of wrestlers getting into the acting game. The Rock was the first big one, but John Cena has been in a lot of movies recently, and Dave Bautista played Drax in both Guardians of the Galaxy movies
It makes perfect sense. Wrestling is basically a live stage show. They have to be good actors.
Potato salad has been extremely popular for for years and is only now getting the critical acknowledgement it deserves.
Potato salad is an example of something that's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I've noticed.
A someone who knows little to nothing about wrestling, I like John Cena. He does a shit ton of stuff for kids and is genuinely hilarious.
I stopped watching WWE around that time, when he was that boring ass superhero character. Happy to hear he got away from that. What did they change?
The character didn't change much, he just stopped getting relentlessly pushed towards the top over everyone and was allowed to lose some big matches. Between that and mixing up his moveset some he's been much more tolerable
Tldr is that they put the United States title on him and he started doing a weekly open challenge. He suddenly had the match of the week on Raw regularly, was doing a great job putting guys over, and even pulled out some new moves.
Not unlike potato salad
I watched Tour de Pharmacy yesterday and he was superb
"Large majority"? You're overestimating.
Not to mention he's garnered the adoration of many non-wrestling fans as well.
The kids at my son's elementary school are obsessed with him...
What's funny is that Cena has been an absolute potato roll the last couple of years and is unironically beloved by a large majority of wrestling fans now.
FTFY
As a wrestling fan from that time, this makes me happy. I miss watching wrestling sometimes..
🎺 🎺
I couldn't care less about wrestling, but from what I know, John Cena seems like a standup guy.
as interesting as a potato salad
I don't really know if thats a good thing or not tbh
It's both and neither. It's fine to have when it's around, it does the job, but very few people are really excited about it.
I am one if those few people. Potato salad is amazing.
I fucking LOVE potato salad.
Potato salad is only boring because that shit you get at the store in the tub is disgusting soupy mayo and if someone is making it for a party, for the most part they just phone it in.
Now you get someone who actually knows what they're doing, cooks the potatoes for the right amount of time, uses the right type of mustard, not that fucking yellow shit 5 year olds put on hotdogs, puts some chopped up pickles and hard boiled eggs in there, the right spices, real mayo... potato salad can be damn good. No one wants to put the effort in tho.
That's actually surprisingly relevant to the John Cena comparison.
John Cena's more interesting with good pickles and mayo?
Aah thanks
I am one if those few people. Potato salad is amazing.
Apparently you're all 3 of those people.
I am one if those few people. Potato salad is amazing.
I am one if those few people. Potato salad is amazing.
It's potatoes and mayo. Sometimes a hint of mustard.
I'm actually more interested in potato salad.
I don't take offense to people calling John cena bland. I do however take great offense to people calling potato salad bland. Potato salad when made right is really really really fucking good.
Y'all need to taste some proper potato salad.
The reason I heard was because he had originally started his wrestling career under the name Potato Salad because he would mash up his opponents.
People haven't tried my fucking potatoe salad then. It's fucking delicious and has a very interesting depth of fucking flavour. People saying potatoe salad is uninteresting infuriate me to no end!
I like potato salad.
This potato salad? https://youtu.be/ed1DqbusyLQ
It's not that he's boring as a character, it's that he's such a staple that he's never a surprise. Someone brings a lemon meringue pie to a BBQ, it's unexpected and is a nice treat. But there's always potato salad.
Does anyone know how John Cena feels about the two subs?
I don't know how or why that happened and honestly i'm not going to ask. I'm just going to appreciate the fact that it's a thing and call it a day.
A line of thinking that should be applied to many more situations.
I'm lost.
Whooooooooooooooo...
/r/birdswitharms <- basically what is advertised
/r/NotBirdsWithArms <- hmmmm...
I don't understand
I like the comment in r/johncena when someone actually posted a picture of John Cena.
Please put this where it belongs, r/potatosalad
Why did you post the the link for r/PotatoSalad one space down for no reason?
This is amazing.
I was waiting for this one!
I love this one
How do you do two separate lines without the space between?
Leave 3 spaces after a line. Go to the next line and type what you want there. Maybe it's only 2 spaces but I just write 3.
I put 3 spaces at the end of this line.
Then I moved onto this line and typed this.
Wow
That sounds easy

Those are some superb owls.
Subscribed. Thank you.
This one actually kinda pisses me off
Why
The mods are very petty about it and a lot of the posters are DAE HATE SPORTSBALL idiots
As someone who hates football, this makes me so happy.
You're a little bit of an asshole then. Why would you wa t to ruin other people's fun just for the sake of being a dickhead?
It's for the sake of the owls
No, no it clearly isn't. It was intended to piss off q certain set of people because some people think sports are evil or something. It's really not cool imo.
Sports aren't evil. Just fucking boring, and wildly over-hyped.
It pisses off absolutely no one as all football discussion happens in r/nfl.
TIL Some peoples' fun is ruined by an internet page with owls.
So then you're just a piece of shit. Cool. Fucking neckbeard edgelords. The fact that you just said you enjoy making other people unhappy is sad and disappointing. I hope you find the help you need someday, or maybe fulfillment through something productive.
dude you are getting way too indignant about nothing

I'm guessing it's because people want to post in it while at work but don't want any of the conventional names for cannabis popping up in the url logs
I remember hearing that the mods of both essentially traded their subs because people who smoked marijuana kept posting in /r/trees.
[deleted]
That makes way more sense tbh
The first marijuana related subreddit got banned for people organising drug deals etc, so someone started another one named r/trees.
Hahahaaa, that's actually even better than either of the two previous ones in this thread. Trying to sell drugs on reddit is silly
/r/marijuanaenthusiats sound more like a late to the party type subreddit name ... should have just used /r/trees1
[deleted]
And people usually try to help. It always puts a smile on my face.
You're missing an s there
What I heard was that some stoner wandered into /r/trees and the users there entertained him and eventually it became a stoner subreddit.
well when your high things can get awfully confusing!
Newer to reddit but I believe the marijuana lovers started their sub first and named it r/trees. The guys who love pics of actual trees came later and when they found out r/trees was taken for a sub name by marijuana enthuists....well you can figure out the rest.👍
Crazy how Reddit do that
"Sometimes"?
Time for a nap and wait for dinner
Why is this?
This explains some of the comments I get about my username.
You'd think most smokers watch sunny
I don't smoke. I just like Always Sunny
Its not that sunny watchers smoke, but smokers watch sunny
So then if a smoker wanted to avoid ever being arrested, they could just tell the cop that they don't watch sunny therefore how can they really be a smoker?
Thats what I do
[deleted]
It is indeed
Same boat as /u/marijuanaenthusiastseverywheremarijuanaenthusiasts
r/leaves for support on quitting smoking pot!
That's actually quite smart.
[deleted]
I just started using marijuana as an adult. Never used it when i was younger at all. r/trees is actually a great community, in fact the marijuana community in general are fantastic people. Id go to that sub if u have any questions.
I thought it wasn't addictive... Can't you just not smoke pot?
It can be mentally addictive, which goes for pretty much everything in life. You can be addicted to pot in the same way one might have computer addiction. This usually happens for people who use weed as a form of escapism.
It can be addictive in the same way porn or gambling can
Not technically addictive, however it can be habit forming.
I'm not sure what your definition of "technically addictive" is, but they have found signaling pathways in the brain that get altered with long term marijuana use. So there's that.
Pot is great, but, just like alcohol, use it responsibly, folks.
Presumably they talk about whether you suffer withdrawal from going cold turkey
For heavy pot users there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of physical withdrawal symptoms. I'd be interested to see studies.
Anecdotally, stopping after long term heavy smoking does the following. The withdrawal symptoms don't last longer than a day after they appear.
First Day: Loss of appetite, insomnia,
Second Day: irritability, night sweats
Third Day: Headache
End of physical effects
Fourth Day: "I miss smoking"
2 weeks: Back to normal
1 Month: "Where'd all this money come from?"
And pretty much the same from there
edit: It's just my personal experience. Overall, withdrawal is mild but it does happen.
It's technically addictive in the sense that your dopamine pathways are trained over time with chronic use to reward that use.
It's not addictive in the physical sense alcohol is, however, and doesn't have nearly the chemical impact that alcohol has on more parts of the body, the impact that causes such severe withdrawal symptoms upon ceasing use.
Yes, marijuana can be addictive, and yes, people can experience negative symptoms upon quitting, and yes, it can definitely negatively impact people's lives with chronic use, but let's not equate it with alcohol. It's just not the same.
I'm not equating, just pointing out that weed, like most psychoactive substances, comes with risks of dependency.
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence for heavy pot use causing withdrawal symptoms (go to any website dedicated to quitting and it will mention this). Of course, these are far less severe than alcohol withdrawals, but they are important to be aware of nonetheless. Lack of appetite, insomnia, depression, for example. Different people are more susceptible to and tolerant of these effects than others.
Drugs can fuck up your life if you aren't careful. They are fun, and come in a spectrum of risks from large to small, but you should still be aware of these risks and use responsibly.
It's not only that the withdrawal symptoms are far less severe, they have a different chemical root cause, and alcohol definitely takes the case as being worse for you. As I've already said, yes, quitting weed can come with withdrawal symptoms, the same way breaking any habit can manifest withdrawal symptoms. But they are not the same thing as the withdrawal symptoms you experience from the chemical dependency to alcohol or drugs like opiates. There should be a clear and defined line between those things.
As I stated in my previous comment, I am not equating them whatsoever. Just pointing out both have risks. Maybe this isn't true for everyone, but on Reddit and in real life, I see a lot of the attitude that weed is completely risk free compared to alcohol or tobacco. It is by far healthier than these drugs, but it is not risk free.
The risks are very real and, especially in individuals prone to escapism (or those with "addictive personalities") should be cautious and monitor their use as well as how it makes them feel (and many people report feeling different in periods of heavy use). If you start to feel like your use is getting out of hand, try to last off.
I'm far from a prohibitionist. I believe it should be legal and regulated. But we do our society a disservice by pretending it's as potentially harmless as cookies or ice cream. It's a drug and it should be enjoyed responsibly.
I think we're both in relative agreement about this whole subject, we're just representing the different points inherent to the conversation. How about this: I agree not to equate weed to cookies and ice cream (although food/sugar addiction can have just as debilitating effects on health and lifestyle) if you agree not to equate it to alcohol. Because, seriously, the addiction mechanisms are chemically not the same.
Sounds good to me. I think we were both already in agreement about that though.
Out of curiosity, did something I say sound like I was saying weed and alcohol are on the same level or have the same addiction mechanisms? Because I really wasn't saying that.
It seems like weed is comparable to caffeine in terms of how addictive it is. If you get used to using it daily, quitting cold turkey will be uncomfortable and potentially depressing, but it passes after a few days or a week at the most (maybe 2 if you're an all day smoker or drink caffeine all day, but doing anything all day is a problem.)
Gotcha. So more like a "help me stop biting my nails" kind of thing.
Yeah, pretty much. People make the claim it's not addictive, however it can still can be difficult for many to stop.
[deleted]
fuck
Wow, that related hard. I think I need to stop..
Very anecdotal
I just realised I forgot to smoke pot for the last 6 months.
[deleted]
You ever suck dick for some marijuana?
Just visit the subreddit.
Yes, but many people over indulge and start smoking ALL the time out of habit, then one day they realize they haven't gotten off the couch in four years. Nail-biting isn't addictive either but I just can't seem to stop.
To add on, for me personally there's a "build up" of anxiety over what will happen if I stop. Will I act the same sober, will I get headaches? Unable to sleep? Anxiety increase, mood swings, inability to eat? Those thoughts keep me here, I think.
Why the fuck did you get down voted?
/r/Petioles - for people looking to cut back on their consumption, but not quit entirely.
lol just subbed to the marijuanaenthusiasts and i don't even indulge :D
It's a gateway sub to mother nature.
Just posted to marijuana enthusiasts with my disgusting tree leaves
so r/trees was there first is what you're saying
Yup
As someone interested in dendrology this took me forever to figure out!
And r/saplings for weed newbies
Read this is as Mary Juan and the siestas
Lmao
Lmao
Love Marijuana and Oaks
this one is my favourite:D
No-one has ever said that about me before, thanks man :)
Holy shit just made me laugh
Edit 2.... slow clap
sleep tight
Aww, I slept well, thanks :)
Gday.
Came here thinking this should be here
But nothing to help me stop my tree habit?
No, because you shouldn't stop, just use in moderation. Especially the dangerous ones that might drop a branch on you like a Eucalyptus.
There's also /r/saplings for new weed smokers
Didn't one time someone actually thought r/trees is really about actual trees and post some horticulture question, and got a bunch of great gardening tips?
It does happen, I know I'm not the only horticulturist in r/trees, there are some arborists too.
I was expecting this to be top comment lol
It is? Oh crap lol. It's now also either my highest or 2nd highest comment ever, if you'll pardon the pun.
Ninja edit: not the top by a long shot lol, still a pb for me :)
Gday cunts :)
Right back at you. How're the cane toads treating you today?
Fuckin terrible actually, they absolutely flogged the cockroaches as per bloody usual. Well, not today actually, that was wednesday night.
Now.. you may just think I'm talking nonsense, but Wednesday night was game 3 of the 3-game football series (State of Origin) between Queensland (cane toads/red, maroon actually) & New South Wales (Cockroaches/Blue). Did you see the gif of the punch up at a red v blue footy match and the blue guy gets pulled down the seats? That was at State of Origin, & a good summary of the last 12 years of the game, the blues keep getting hammered.
Today? Yeah today is just another gorgeous day in paradise :)
So... there's no joke to r/marijuanaenthusiasts other than that stoners took r/trees, so tree uhh... watchers or whatever just decided to take r/marijuanaenthusiasts?
As I understand it, that's it.
leaves
r/Petioles for those who are looking for support in moderation, or tolerance breaks. They don't like those folks on r/leaves, and you'd never find the subreddit otherwise.
Never knew that one. Legend.
Also r/leaves if you want to quit
Now I get it
r/potatosalad for John Cena and r/johncena for potato salad.
Explodes? 179 total replies but most of those aren't second level...so you probably got 18-20 notifications total.
So. Much. Explosion.
You feel better about yourself now? I hope someone gives you a hug today.
dude weed lmao
/r/leaves what a great fucking name for that sub.
Also r/Autoflowers r/Microgrowery
Also r/quitSmokingMarijuana for people who are tired of appreciating trees
r/congratslikeimfive
Everybody gets a participation ribbon because they are good boys and girls.
It's not super active but r/irlsmurfing always puts a smile on my face
It's one of those places where the idea is great, but there's just not enough of it happening to generate steady content
There's a lot of crossover with /r/SurpriseAppearances.
Gordon Ramsey keeps making relevant content. I have a theory he's a frequent visitor.
I really enjoyed the duty about the smash Bros player. That was gold.
Except that name is a perfect explanation...
whose names can not be found by searching their subject matter
Seems like it fits.
Assuming you think smurfing has nothing to do with actual Smurfs.
I thought it did and was slightly disappointed
I mean.... You wouldn't think that a trolling subreddit has to do with trolls.
I just spent a couple of hours there. It's glorious!
I'm really enjoying this sub.
Kinda related: /r/ActLikeYouBelong. It’s basically the reverse /r/irlsmurfing
r/MonaLeslie
Not going to lie: I was a little disappointed when it turned out to not be Leslie Nielsen's face on Renaissance art.
I was expecting Leslie Knope
[deleted]
Centaur. But let's be honest now we need a Leslie Knope minotaur painting.
knope.
Leslie Jordan ftw
The needs to be a sub
Not going to lie: I was disappointed for the same reason after having misread your comment, then clicked the link expecting Leslie Nielsen's face on Renaissance art, because that would've been totally awesome.
That's a much better idea! Build it and they will meme
FUCK! I misread what you said and thought it WAS Leslie Nielsen's face on Renaissance art and now I'm disappointed.
Not going to lie: that is brilliant. Surely you must make that happen.
And I'll stop calling you Shirley.
I wish that were a thing!
I thought it would be the Mona Lisa with Lisa Leslie.
Awesome sub. Thanks.
This is the first thing to make me laugh out loud today. Amazing. The Leafing of the Tree? Jesus fuck.
So wholesome
Amazing sub mAh dood
I waded through the crowds at the Louvre and finally realised that it sucked
I love this. It's like everything I've written in my literature essays for school.
Seems like a dead sub
There should be a reverse sub where people who don't understand critique it positively.
is there this, but for tearing apart this same amateur art, like what Maddox used to do?
is this where you finally put your liberal arts degree to good use?
/r/thefence is the Coheed and Cambria subreddit. All, except the most recent, of the band's albums take place in a fictional science fiction universe. Within said universe is an area called Heaven's Fence, where all the events in the story happen.
Additionally, a number of lyrics specifically mention "the Fence", and fans of the band call themselves "Children of the Fence". Hence the name of the subreddit.
Fence the name of the subreddit.
Fenced that for you
Hopefully he won't take ofFence
Oh my God. Thank you.
No problem.
Was not expecting to see this here lmao. only found the sub because I made a post on r/coheedandcambria and was directed to r/thefence
What was different about the last album? Did the "author" move to a different story?
The last album was just a more personal thing that wasn't related to the story of the rest of the albums.
While it's not as good as the other albums, it's also not a piece of shit like some people say.
The last album was a new story about a musician who decided to release a shitty album because he got bored of making good ones.
Damn, lmao.
So it's not about being noncommittal?
/r/ooerintensifies
Word of caution: If you are prone to epilepsy DO NOT click on that link
Clicked the link using the app so it took my a while to get what the fuck was going on there.
Took me a while to realize that I would never realize what was going on there.
I've been subbed for over a year and I'm still trying to figure out what's going on there
Please explain. Also on mobile, still confused.
I can't possibly explain it without you witnessing it.
It cannot be explained with a thousand witnesses!
Cancer inducing epileptic subreddit
That's too much Ooer
/r/Ooer is an original and less epilepsy-inducing.
my head hurts now
Wtf have I just seen.
I can't feel my face.
I think thats a stroke.
Am I having a stroke?
That made me wanna throwup/I can feel my eyes now.
I want to subscribe but I can't.
I don't need to click the link to have a seizure from that site.
what would you edit in the source to turn off the shaking?
I saw the sidebar ads for that sub and thought it stood for something like "object-oriented emergency room"
It takes real skill to make CSS that bad.
They banned me awhile back :(
r/longstabbything
I simultaneously hate Karl, and love Karl.
Onya Karl.
^(The chilli one is great)
Karl has two subs? I've been subed to r/karlstephonovic (so?)
He's the man
You got me into r/longstabbything but I ain't clicking this one.
Ok
We are all Karl on this blessed day!
Edit: Changed ate to are, though as /u/Liladent opines, I would like to um... do awesome things to Karl.
I'm not sure that's what you meant, but I'd be perfectly okay with eating Karl if you know what I mean
yall made me think that I forgot all about kenm !!
Speak for yourself
I am ALL Karl on this blessed day
No tip for you.
Speak for yourself
I am all Karl on this blessed day!
Thank you, that guy is hilarious.
Fuck I hate that swamy cunt. But I feel like I'm alone in thinking this.
Your username suggests you are Australian. Maybe he's funnier to non-Australians. Like I'm sure there might be a few American pseudo-celebrities that are rather tame to Americans but inexplicably beloved in other countries.
Also, it's fair to say that we non-Australians only share and watch Karl's funny clips. He's probably boring and mild 99% of the time, so Australians see him as just a regular TV persona. We non-Australians only see those 1% of funny bits and then unrealistically imagine he's hilarious the rest of the time too (but of course we don't actually look up his regular shows because that would spoil the fake perception).
you're not alone.

What was it, it's been removed?
Seriously, that's brutal to anyone curious. An entire [removed] thread, wtf.
I don't remember. It was a redtube link and she just ended up giving him a handy.... Talking a lot... And rubbing her ass on his cock and then he came on her face... I fast-forwarded through most of it so maybe I missed it but I don't think so

It was removed by moderators. Probably strugglefucking or something, mods are easily triggered.

The post it linked to was just removed, too (dunno why), but I was able to archive it: http://archive.is/Um1A5

Yeah. Just like that
[removed]
Two posts, same age, same karma, one has an extra "very". How did you do that?
I like how "very interesting" has now overtaken "interesting", so it now reads:

Not at all scripted and targeted at men who get off on women reluctantly consenting to sex.
Less "reluctant consent" and more "got so horny she said fuck it".
Well this would be targeted at the opposite... the idea is the women wanting the sex despite it not being in the agreement. It's exactly the opposite demo.
/r/Exxxtras ?
Cool
interesting
r/100yearsago Great subreddit about stuff that happened 100 years ago, that day.
It kinda reads like r/news, but 100 years after the fact. I love it!!!
Pretty much the same thing as now: war.
[removed]
Happened across this one about a week ago and instantly sub'd. Definitely worth checking out.
Was it because girl?
[deleted]
Well conceded.
Still very cool though.
Upvoted anyway.
Not because girl, though.
Girl.
I CHOOSE DEATH!
But it was also very cool. Right?
Was that why you upvoted?
BANNED
I've spent about 10 minutes browsing the sub and while there are a handful of cool videos on their own it looks like most of them really only are cool "because girl".
I'm wondering if there's a guy version... for reasons
As a matter of fact.... r/UNBBBBIIVCHIDCTIICBB
Noice
( ˘ ³˘)♥
Yeah, I just came to the same conclusion, pussy slayer. Some of the top posts of all time definitely fit the premise, but it seems like on am average day, it's the girl that makes the posts cool.
Maybe /r/girlsinagif will hit the spot!
That's the joke..
Except the premise dictates that the content also be really cool...
As if it won't get turned into tits and shitposts anyway.
science. geez you idiot. not everything has to be sexual
[deleted]
Yeah, I was really hoping for a greater variety of content than just strong/flexible/athletic women doing some impressive physical feat. After about a month you start to see the same gifs of girls throwing footballs or doing hand stands.
Plus of course you have people arguing in the comments of every post whether the girl is actually doing something impressive enough or if it was just "upvoted because girl." Without fail there will be some dude going "actually her form is off so technically this sucks and I'm unimpressed."
The past tense of "sub" is "subbed."
If you are ever unsure if you should use an apostrophe to make a word past tense, remember this simple tip: don't use an apostrophe to make a word past tense.
Thanks for the tip. I normally check things like that to make sure I don't come across like an idiot but at 1 am I didn't really care haha. I'll leave it so the world can see my ignorance.

It's a dead sub with only one submission. I liked it though, seeing how it could have gone worse (or not). That should have really been the subreddit name.
322 users here now - presumably all of us were watching a girl blink.
You probably meant /r/GirlsFinishingTheJob
Actually NSFW
Great subreddit. Always delivers
Although sources aren't always provided :(
That's where r/tipofmypenis cums in.
Nope, one post and it's a girl blinking
Wish me luck boys, I've requested to mod that subreddit.
Any ideas on what the content should be? Like girls doing random things..or NSFW.
Nah, just random stuff. A variety
Girls fucking unusual objects
If you have RES, hovering over a subreddit link will tell you a bunch of stuff including if it's NSFW or not.
"Oh yeah, I upvoted this shitty metallica drum cover by a hot asian chick wearing lingerie because I just love shitty metallica drum covers."
IASIP_whichone.jpg
To be fair, Lars does shitty Metallica drum covers too
Replacing Lars with hot asian chick wearing lingerie could improve their live shows.
I thought that was the lead guitarist? She looked better with long hair though
Source?
That's all in accordance to the sub. Upvote because lingerie, stay for music and lingerie
The sub is all about cool things that have a girl, but would still be cool even without the girl. Some of the things in the sub are pretty obviously just there because of a hot girl. Not all, though, the sub does have some genuinely cool stuff.
The sub is shit
What the Hell is that?
Upvoted Because Girl
They were both originally created to spite each other. UBG Existed first, and people were starting to comment "But it was pretty fucking good content though.. regardless of gender"
So they both exist; but because human judgement is blurred, some people might think stuff belongs in one of them than the other, and vice versa.
But we don't live long enough to fight about it
Except you hardly ever see the UBG comments anymore, yet in almost every post with a woman in it you'll find the UNBG comments.
But we don't live long enough to fight about it
I liken time spent arguing on the internet to the dream time from Inception.

That's why I unsubbed. It took the typical dive in quality once it became well known.
Might not be too hard to come across this one--it's often on the front page!
But it's a great answer to OPs question.
Yo, OP said great subreddits.
Top post is literally 13 year old girls... ಠ_ಠ
am I trippin? the top post for me is the chick eating ice cream and getting preggers
Current top post
...the chick "jumping into the abyss"? she looks older than 13
I think the volleyball gif is what he is referring to.
Too old for ya?
For real tho, despite its tongue-in-cheek name referencing the Upvoted Because (assumedly sexually attractive) Girl concept, it's in actuality more of just a "girls doing cool shit" dumping ground.
You can't tell from the thumbnail.
Also your username would be a good submission for this thread if it were a subreddit name
But someone posted into /r/unbg knowing it was a 13 year old girl. A sub for gawking at females. Just saying.
Jimmy Saville used that excuse too.
You can't tell from the thumbnail.
justified
Isn't that Reddit's target demographic though? About 90% of comments I see look like it was posted by a 13 year old.
Most if the people I know who use Reddit are 19+
All of the people I know who use reddit are 23+. Who would have thought that the people we associate with might not represent the average?
Well the only reason I have to count under nineteen is because all of my friends are very older than me. I actually just turned nineteen today
[deleted]
Oh you'd like that wouldn't you. ಠ_ಠ
Thought the same thing... Kinda creepy... Sometimes I feel disgusted by the internet... Not just this obviously but so many times when I hear how people talk about women on the internet it just feels so... Gross
Ahh reddit
Reminds me of /r/starlets
NSFW.
The first rule of that sub states that its SFW lol
Yeah. Looking at under age girls in skimpy clothing is totally safe for work. Go ahead.
not gonna click that link but judging from the name of the sub, reddit needs jesus
Pics of young actresses. SFW pics btw.
Ew dude
IIRC you can be 13 and be on reddit.
And just about every single post on there was upvoted because it was a girl 😠
God that name is so creepy and neck beardy...
Like, this is the reason why ANYTHING even remotely sexual in nature is Taboo in America.
The name is a play on /r/UpvotedBecauseGirl which makes fun of Reddit's tendency to upvote things because there's a girl.
It may have started as a joke, but it's turned into typical reddit neckbeard cringe
M'subreddit
That and /r/gentlemenboners are so fucking creepy.

Thanks, I've been subbed for a while but can never remember what the acronym means.

That is for the weak.
The feeble-minded need not subscribe.
Np
[deleted]
No, that's /r/GirlsInYogaPants
Used to be good but once it got more popular and people ran out of content there is a lot of girls posted doing very simple things so purely posted for the girl.
Unfortunately, nowadays most of the posts there are upvoted because girl and that's it. What I ask myself when I see a post there is "would I upvote this if that was a guy?" and the answer is rarely yes.
"Why is it cool to be monogamous"?...? Seriously? The amount of sociopathic behaviour online encouraged is too damned high these days.
Wait whats sociopathic here? I can't make heads or tails of what that sub is supposed to be about.
How is this hard to find? It's literally on /r/all every day
I used to love it, nowadays it’s sadly just UBG :/
Came here for this xD
I really liked that sub until about a half a year to a year ago when the mods decided that the only rule was that the post had to contain a girl, and not a cool reason you upvoted it.
Then most of the posts went to hell.
I used to mod that sub. It’s just girls doing stuff
It's a subreddit that revolves around people clicking because they saw a girl. The subreddit doesn't allow any objectifying conversations about the girl who got everyone to click, not even discussions about her appearance, but everyone there, by participating in the subreddit, has admitted that the reason they clicked, initially, was because they saw a girl in the thumbnail and objectively found her attractive enough to click the thumbnail.
What really fucking confuses me is the posts with elementary aged girls. You initially clicked because girl? What the fuck is going on in there?
I dunno dude, not my sub and I never go there either.
I admit this one bugs me because it's entirely karma-farming stuff that would do just fine on other subs, but goes on that one solely because omg girl.
Everything in there gets upvoted because its a girl
Paging my baby sub:
r/UNBBBBIIVCHIDCTIICBB
Upvoted Not Because Boy, But Because It Is Very Cool; However, I Do Concede That I Initially Clicked Because Boy
Visit us!
r/UNBG works as well
In the same vein, r/WtSSTaDaMiT (slightly NSFW)
I always thought it was "I Do Concede That It Is Cool Because Girl."
I'm subscribed to this subreddit but had no idea it was a big acronym, lol
There's a subreddit like this, but replaced Girl with Dog.
I've been semi curious about wtf that stood for for so long. Thank you.
Does this really happen enough that there's an entire subreddit for it? Are guys aware of how creepy they oftentimes make themselves out to be?
When I look at most of those posts and I ask myself "would I have upvoted this if it was a dude doing it?" The answer is almost always no. I don't understand that place.
Technically, all those posts are upvoted because girl.
As a feminist, it bothers me that this is its own subreddit
As a lesbian, I approve
I love that there's a semicolon here. It'd be comma splicy otherwise.
Why can't you upvote because of both?
Only one upvote button.
This is the one I was going to add if not already here
I wish you would have. I woke up today with about a million inbox messages....
woah, 200k+ subscribers too
No idea what the acronym stands for, but after three minutes there I had to subscribe. Thanks!
Upvoted Not Because Girl, But Because It Is Very Cool; However, I Do Concede That I Initially Clicked Because Girl
Thanks
I think I was banned from that sub for saying "that girl is so hot I'd suck her dad's dick just to get a taste of the recipe". The mods, as they do, came down hard on me because "they don't give out warnings" because they're so important and of course permanently banning someone for making a silly joke is justified. Eye roll. Apparently, it's against the rules to sexualize the women in this sub, even though the entire undertone of its existence is "ooooh hot girl... I want to click". Mods are so fucking self-important.
Wow, that's fucked up
At least it's honest. It's funny to see a gif of a cute girl knocking over a soda can with 10k+ upvotes on r/all with hundreds of attempts to be witty about the can being knocked over. Like, come on guys, you know damn well 2/3 of those upvotes were thirsty dudes and would m'lady the shit out of that girl. You aren't convincing anyone.
Subscribed, but not because girl but because cool things.
nice
was looking for this one ever since i came back to reddit!!!!
I love this one. It almost always has the hot girl, so I can show my gf the cool thing she's doing while still looking at butts.

woah, when the fuck did /r/bigbangcomics close?
Shoot that was one of the first strange/surreal subreddits I subscribed to when I first registered.
It closed about a month ago when the owner wanted to kill the meme.
I was hoping it would be an elaborate conspiracy based around Bing Bong from Inside Out.
I like TBBT, but this is fucking hilarious
Well, there's no accounting for taste, I suppose.
That's so cool they're teaching the special education kids how to get online now! What a time to be alive.

I haven't laughed so hard at something so silly in a while.
I'm no way condoning drug use kids, but this sub is best taken with weed.
Thank you so much.
This is hilarious 😂
/r/SpaceBuckets, it is about growing plants indoors using stacked containers and LED lights. It's a really fun hobby!
This is really cool! But what's the practical point of it, as compared to normal open systems?
The main difference is that you can control every aspect of the plants environment, specially the lighting configuration. This results in faster growth. I like to think of the buckets as gardening tools, intensive photosinthesis chambers for my plants. I've got some hot peppers going right now.
Cheers!
I see! Actively moving air seems not cost efficient. And why- given that the reason is to have multiple bands of light -not use LED lighting rather than the 100W lights? LEDs can produce the same bands given you use multiple!
Most people use PC fans which are 12v are ultra cheap... cost is not an issue there. There is a lot of information about the science behind botany and lighting over at /r/HandsOnComplexity
What a fantastic sub, thanks!
More pot smaller area! ;)
I am not impressed with the yields.
I always assume if such care is needed to hide them in buckets, then yield is less of an issue than safety (from the law) is.
Sure, but when it takes you three or four months to grow a quarter you're just better off buying it. I'm not knocking it as a hobby or a labor of love, but I just wished that method had better yields.
Oh, I understand! I don't know enough to really contribute more than what I've said already. But what could change to increase yield while keeping it discrete?
The yield is directly proportional to the amount of light you can output. So, stuff as many lights in there as possible, or get natural sunlight in.
At some point won't your cook the plant though? I imagined that THAT was your limiting factor: not wattage
Wattage limits the yield, heat limits the wattage, yep.
Oh, heh, it's both!
Well then, the smell might not be unnoticeable, but that's pretty clever

/r/SmallGroups
The name seems pretty ambiguous to someone who isn't part of a specific subculture, but the intent is showing off the performance of firearms and/or shooting ability, sharing knowledge of how to achieve similar results, and providing evidence to make recommendations based on performance.
r/OneMOA would be a good name, too.
I was just thinking /r/MOA
I'll sub to that
Looking just at the title I never would have got there.
After reading the description, and being flooded with memories of helping many a hot day on the range, it makes perfect sense.
I think this one is my favorite on the list.
There was a movement in many churches to have smaller bible study groups in homes called small groups. NOT THE SAME THING.
Ironically my first thought was not that it was dealing with small groups of people, but small groupings of target shots. I was pleased to see I was randomly right
Seemed like a pretty obvious name to me honestly, i would have figured a lot of people would understand that even if they dont shoot
Is there a sub Reddit for I Spy pictures? My son adores them so it would be a great resource for his early internet consumption.
/r/FindTheSniper started as pictures of well camouflaged snipers, but as it turns out there's not too many of those pictures out there, so there's a handful of other hidden items now.
If you don't find one.. maybe you could make it! I'd subscribe, and you could let users submit their own content!
There's that one steam game, Hidden Folks I think it was called..
There's /r/interactivememes/ Not sure if it's what you're looking for but it might be kind of useful.
r/subtlenudity. NSFW
Live from a Facebook marketplace!
r/trashpandas
It's not hard to find. Anyone who loves trashpandas is already subscribed
I didn't know what a "trash panda" was until I came to reddit, I can't be the only one. Trash pandas go by many other names in the real world.
On of my favourites

Underrated comment
I actually own /r/NotSafeForWork and have been intending to use it that way, but haven't had time to set it up yet.
I was thinking of story-based like /r/talesfromretail etc. to make it different from /r/OSHA
Sounds awesome, do it!
/r/hmmm where every post is entitled "hmmm"
A great subreddit, that one.
hmmm
searching must be a bitch
Easy to remember the title at least. That's half the battle.
Forgive me. I was absorbed in thought.
Ohh? Oh!
Hmmm, hmmm... Still closed...
And subbed.
What I like about that one is that there are so many different kind of hmmms it induces. "hmmm that's neat", "hmmm that's disconcerting", "hmmm what's wrong with people?"
A lot of the time my hmm is more akin to a hmph like when you make the beginning of a laugh and exhale through the nose. Which is my go to for all the types of Hmmms you posted. The sub rarely ceases to deliver.
[deleted]
I like it, because I keep that sub on my front page, and it rarely displays thumbnails. You never have the joke spoiled by the thread title, it adds an element of surprise!
The joke is that the images make you go "hmmm" which they almost always succeed at for me. Just no context weird stuff. I love that the title doesn't give it away too!
Yeah, I found it a few months ago and am super happy that I did. It's more focused and generally better executed than /r/funny or /r/wtf, despite being more-or-less the same kind of content.
That could be good, but it's basically "repost d without comment."
Don't forget /r/hmmmgifs
/r/WtSSTaDaMiT

Damn! How do I subscribe to it when I'm at work?!
Save the comment for later.
I never knew I needed this in my life.
Made me remember that I only discovered during my senior year that the skirt of my uniform that I've been wearing for four years was translucent when the sun shines through it -_- I never even wore shorts underneath because it was already hot enough..
I used to mod that subreddit with my original username!
I gave up because the vast majority of posts don't fit the subreddit, and the community refused to follow the rules. Sheer material is not WySSTaDaMiT, but that's the majority of the posts. Oh well I guess.
[deleted]
Must have clicked multiple times on mobile.
Is there a guys in shorts version of this?
[deleted]
Already subscribed. I was hoping for a sub with similar backlit perspective.
Comment to save for research
I really like this subreddit, but not for jerking-off reasons and I'm really on the fence about subbing.
Unfortunately the first rule of the sub is often broken and the mods do virtually nothing, so it's not a great niche sub anymore.
[deleted]
No problem.

Welcome to your new home.
Balls I forgot it lol
r/ninthworldproblems is my personal go to
r/infiniteworldproblems my personal favorite
Ok, knew of the rest but this wins
I think there is even a 45th world problems...But for those not in the know, this sub/guide helps. Also Vice's article on fifth world problems is good too. I'm trying to find the article that broke down all of it, this was a s close as I could come.
/r/infiniteworldproblems - Yes.
Ahhh... Good ol' Sixth world. It's been a while.
Been on it once and noped the fuck out of it
It's ok bud. Its just the ghost in the machine.
/r/lastimages is a subreddit for last photos of people before they die.
It sounds depressing, and it can be, but it's a wonderful reminder to not take your life for granted and reading the comments can restore your faith in humanity.
I love this sub, but I can't subscribe to it because I have to be ready for those posts and couldn't handle them popping up on my front page. But it's a beautiful sub that often causes frisson and leads to long, thoughtful silences.
I scrolled through this laying in bed while my boyfriend was still asleep. I was waiting for him to wake up and ask me why I was crying lmao
Seriously. I read about the man named Bear saying bye to his children, while I was at work.
I had compose myself. It'll get to you.
Yesssss! This is exactly the thing I've been looking for on this thread. I normally only get to see people after they've been prepped or embalmed & ready for viewing. (I work in a funeral home)
I wanted to be a mortician when I was a child. That's cool.
This is quite something. Thanks.
I'm premed and this sub has me in tears, I'm not ready for my job.
Aaaand now I'm crying at work
I love this subreddit. It's very sad but I love it.
I have a last photo of someone, a week or so before they died. They hated photos, and apparently took a bunch of selfies at 3 am a few weeks before dying in a violent accident.
I want to share, but there's a criminal case, and while I was their friend, I don't know if their family would want me to (the person was private, there wasn't even a death announcement in the paper). I want to share my connection with them, but honor what they'd want. It's tough. (and has me terrified to actually click on the sub... I don't want to cry at work too!)
It's a tough sub to scroll through. I honestly don't know if I'd post my family or friends photos myself.
What happened was awful, and I feel like they have become defined by the circumstances of their death - which is unfair. I want people to know them as they were.
But, alas, it's complicated.
Most of the time I have to explain why I'm laughing out loud at work. I just had to explain why I'm crying.

It's for serious Game of Thrones fans. We picked a shorter name because
was too long for the subreddit name field.
I did not create the sub - that was a different reddit user, George R.R. Martin, who subsequently deleted his account so he could concentrate on 'The Winds of Winter.'
^(Also want to mention /r/ASOIAFCirclejerk.)
If he was a redditor that does explain why his books were taking so long to write.
He has to deliver on the hype that has been building since A Feast For Crows in 2005.

/r/spikes is a competitive magic the gathering subreddit. The origin of the name is how the creators divides the magic player base between three major types, Johnny, Timmy, and Spike.
Don't forget Vorthos!
But yeah. I imagine there's a community of spike enthusiasts sad over that sub not being all about that sweet spike action.
Vorthos and Melvin are independent of the other three psychographic profiles. You can be a vorthos spike or a Melvin timmy

NSFW/NSFL, depending on your perspective
Has Reddit already forgotten about /r/jailbait?
No. You think they'd let another one be on there and with such a blatantly obvious name after the previous incident?
"Previous incident"?
It reached the news, giving Reddit a rather bad name because of it and understandably so.
After that Reddit started slowly removing subs that shouldn't exist. A lot are still around but most of them are not under so obvious names
A lot are quarantined these days so you can't find them easily and even if you do you need to have a verified email.
what does quarantined mean anyways? why don't they just ban them outright?
Sometimes it's better to close the community off than squash it completely and cause the poison to leak into other subreddits. Say if Voat shut down, it would be great because it's a toxic place but it would also mean a lot of those people would flee to other media, in some cases back to reddit; that is not ideal.
I still don't understand what requiring a verified email does to solve anything.
Nothing really, especially when you can use temp emails, but I guess it stops media from saying that reddit isn't doing anything to stop these "communites" forming.
Not to mention one of the mods was rumored to be running an international band of mercenaries
Wait really? Was it Academi/Blackwater?
Look up Lake City Quiet Pills. I think the sub is /r/lakecityquietpills
That was a crazy but if rabbit hole to go through. I want to read the novel. I'm very curious to know if it is a hoax or not
They took it away. The pedos kicked up a stink and said "hurr durr freedom of speech". They didn't bring it back.
The jail bait sub that was literally filled with the stuff.
Yeah, I'm with ya. What happened?
What incident? Anyone care to explain?
ooo I don't know if I should click that or not
You're good, it's banned.

It's old ladies baking pies, but marked nsfw and given "porny" titles.
Example title: "Hot posh Brit fondles meat before shoving it in her pie, spreads her hot pie wide open for the camera"
Actual gif: Elderly woman making a meat pie, ends with her slicing off a piece to put on a plate.
I would also recommend /r/avacadosgonewild
Worse, it is old ladies baking pies! There's nsfw tags everywhere, but there's no porn! I feel scammed.
You seem like you'd like the whitest kids you know present a trailer on granny porn
GRANNIES ARE FER POWNIN' NEWBS!
That's good. I was thinking it was going to be on the level of /r/handholding
You never really know with reddit.
Is it cream pies as I fear?
the top few at least, are just . . . old ladies baking actual pies
With semi NSFW titles and comments!
I really wish there was more action on that sub, it's amazing.
Dude, that's obscene. You can't post that on Reddit!
I forgot I'm subscribed to that.

so basically its a place for people who are already confused about what is academically studied/real and what is psudoscientific garbage, to come further muddle the lines.
sorry to be 'that guy'. My aim is to catch anyone who might be missing what is going on here or needs confirmation once their skeptical alarm started ringing. I know OP wont care for my 'opinion'.
Ohhh Hai!
I'm Jux. I hit "create" on SLS with some awesome peers.
SLS isn't for everyone. That's cool. But to clarify it, you need to understand that it's a place to help guide people who are on extraordinary journeys. Some of those people have or are experiencing psychosis, resulting from drug use or schizophrenia. Some of those people are actually scientists and researchers. Some of these people are poverty stricken hippies. The main thing is that they're outside the margins of the kind of experience that comes with an instruction manual - in uncommon or uncharted territory - and looking for peers to share the experience with.
So the trick to SLS is to not get hung up on the content. When some 20 year old writes his magnus opus on the epistemological validity of whatever-the-fuck-they-think-being-literally-the-only-possible-way-it-could-be; we view this as a stage of development. It's very challenging to look past someone going "blahblahblahblah - I've solved it all!" but to be successful as an SLS member, you must see people going through a process instead of "look at this bullshit lol."
The main thing in this approach is that, for every 10 things that are BS - 1 thing is an astonishing insight that's a unique product of the exploration. It's like sieving for gold in a pile of fools gold. But gold is found in these experiences - and these insights often need to be gained authentically. So you can't get the insights generated by being a transgendered minority ethnicity schizophrenic christian psychedelic fan without actually being that.
In an important sense, such people are often suffering for such insights. And they need a place to exercise their beliefs without shame or disdain or criticism. An ethos in SLS is "guide, don't correct". Another is "guide and be guided".
So if you can look past all the ramblings of actual crazy people, what you'll discover is an amazing, astonishingly creative community of adventurers - just trying to put their extraordinary experiences to good use.
And the people who need this stuff is mostly the other SLS users. The rest of y'all - watch, learn, maybe try and help every now and again.
And don't forget to pan for gold. It's really in there.
<#
that was actually insightful and coherent, thank you.
I am a lot more interested and at some point I would like to ask you a question or two if you would be so inclined. for now i need to go get some exercise.
peace and love from the obsessively rational
Absolutely, muchos love esse

subbed thx!
don't
its pseudoscience.
[deleted]
you are well spoken but I am unfortunately not swayed. You have redefined both of those terms from what any authority (IE dictionary or academic) would define them as. psudoscience is anything that pretends to be scientific, full stop. Labeling something with a term like 'metaphysical' when it has no scientific basis is, by definition, psudoscience. It is co-opting a term used in peer-reviewed literature in order to push a non-scientific agenda.
I recognize that this sounds like dogma to you in the same way that your speech sounds like dogma to me, but if you truly wish to learn about this delineation, I recommend looking into philosophy of science.
[deleted]
Let me ask you this, What would make you beleive that the people on that sub are largely misusing rhetoric and rationalizing psudoscience? if the answer is anywhere close to 'nothing' then... well I hope you see my point.
At what point does it stop being a problem of having an open enough mind and start being a problem of the mind being so open that anything can make it in and out of there regardless of validity? How does one determine truth from fiction?
That is what philosophy of science is concerned with. Everyone who has argued with me here is fundamentally missing that. Its a willful ignorance of why the fringe is nearly always wrong and a cherry-picking of the times when it is right in order to justify wild speculation and psudoscientific beliefs.
At what point does it stop being a problem of having an open enough mind and start being a problem of the mind being so open that anything can make it in and out of there regardless of validity?
If everyone in the world were to suddenly change into Albert Einstein, civilization would collapse in a week. Einstein might have been a great physicist and mathematician, but was he a good pilot? Construction worker? Plumber?
There is this notion that is upheld by academics that there is only one model of reality that should be in everyone's minds: the complete mechanical model derived from science. Science may tell us how to be the best father, but it does not make you the best father. The diversity in perspectives, the different nuances in each of our axiomatic systems, is what gives individuals the strengths and weaknesses of their character. Each set of experiences grants a different lens.
With that comes the task of the collective: how do we grow new perspectives? This is something we are undertaking. We call ourselves a think-tank because we are literally that. We are grouping as many fringe perspectives and getting them to digest and talk about different ideas.
The scientific mechanical model is absolutely needed, but to grow it we need to diversify how we look at the different problems.
that bordered on something... not sure what... but something.
your thoughts are incredibly disconnected from one another and even more-so from what you are responding to.
The only thing that seems to follow from what I said is:
There is this notion that is upheld by academics that there is only one model of reality that should be in everyone's minds: the complete mechanical model derived from science.
Science is not really about creating a singular model of reality and I doubt very much that you could find a majority of scientists who would say that it is (Although I will grant that there are plenty of silly people like Christopher Hitchens who actually think this). In a simplistic view, it is about disproving incorrect models to be able to approximate an ever-more correct one. The sub in question (and based on your rhetoric, you yourself) seem more interested in wholesale rejection of any model in order to make way for... word salad... or something. I'm sorry I am struggling to be charitable here.
There is this notion that is upheld by academics
I'm not talking about science. I'm talking about people who are very much in their heads (and quite a bit to the left at that). A general opinion of smug armchair scientists is 'What you are saying does not conform to [Authority].' Think of the Reddit hivemind. This is a group of people are those that say the following:
At what point does it stop being a problem of having an open enough mind and start being a problem of the mind being so open that anything can make it in and out of there regardless of validity?
This is a concern of someone who has wrapped their ego around their intellect. I'm not saying that as an insult. I'm a teacher, and it is something I've seen as a regular counter-argument when I try to teach these things. There is a valuing of what one has put effort in, and thus it is what you focus on what you read and construct a response.
What I'm saying is the accuracy of a particular individual's modeling of reality with the objective reality is not what is objectively important: the effect of what is in the 'black box' is what's important. What you believe manifests how you make choices; the perspective you have is the reference to decide when to go left and when to go right. Obviously, there is an importance to mapping out what really is, but that path is different for each of us.
Think of pouring sand into a pile. The configuration of the pile is determined by the order it falls, in conjunction to different variables (weight, size, shape, etc). This is how a mind grows: experiences pile up and we create this pile to draw conclusions from. Now think how you would take that pile from one state, one configuration, and manipulate it to a different state. Taking it from state A to state B requires a fundamentally different set of inputs that taking it from state X to state Y.
What the Shrug Life Syndicate is trying to accomplish is the compilation of numerous fringe perspectives of reality, thereby allowing anyone who thinks similarly to X or Y perspective can use that as a stepping stone to understand what they are personally seeking.
word salad
I'm sorry, I'm schizophrenic. It happens. If you're willing to keep talking to me I can keep refining what I'm talking about.
[deleted]
I never said that people who hold different beliefs are willfully ignorant, and for the record I regret that particular choice of words because I don't want to demonize being wrong. Nor did I say they are ignorant or stupid for their interpretation of life.
I looked again on faith that you might be right, and what I continue to find in that subreddit is psudoscientific thinking alongside something akin to continental philosophy (read: something that was once paraded as academic but been shown in multiple ways including with a computer program dedicated to it to literally be no different than word vomit to even the people who practice it).
Its bunk. There is no attempt at reaching objective conclusions or share peer review and reasonable criticism. There is no attempt at being humorous or even to just acknowledge the lack-there-of either.
show me the pages within the cover I apparently cannot see past. I will try to reign in my judgement.
Sometimes some people enjoy reading pseudoscience.
Don't take everything so seriously and maybe you'll have a little more fun in life.
you imply that I do not have as much fun in life because I seek truth. that is a false dichotomy.
I am not implying anything, I'm telling you to lighten up.
I don't believe in the Flat Earth, or the Hollow Earth, yet I very much enjoy reading those subs and the occasional post in /r/conspiracy.
Feynman and Einstein had wonderfully developed senses of humor and an appreciation for the absurd.
Are you implying that you cannot have both a good sense of humor and a rigorous rational framework?
uhh... you seem to be taking WAY more from what I said than is reasonable. I never mentioned anything about your redditing habits or sense of humor.
I wonder, have you ever thought about what 'lighten up' or other such phrases mean? Like, why does it seem at the surface that we can command such things from someone who wants to correct an injustice they see? Why does it make you the better person to not question the validity of something?
Jesus Christ.
The both of you should get a fucking room. The sexual tension is like way too palpable.

Only if you join in, I like my mindfucks to be threesomes.
uhh... you seem to be taking WAY more from what I said than is reasonable.
Ah, the clutch defense of the rhetorically challenged...
You told a user not to subscribe to a sub they found interesting because it was pseudoscience.
I replied that some people are entertained by pseudoscience and you replied that you thought I implied that you were a stick in the mud.
ke, why does it seem at the surface that we can command such things from someone who wants to correct an injus
So let me revise that, and remove the ambiguity.
I am now absolutely sure you are a stick in the mud.
Lighten up man, not every moment of our waking lives is meant to be spent Occam's Razoring everything to death.
wants to correct an injustice they see?
LOL! What injustice do you see here my friend?
but but but...I'm a Republican, it's the only kind of science I believe in ;D
confession not really Republican :D
I don't even understand what this is, and the comments to this are also weird and unhelpful.
the more I try to give credence to the sub (why, I dont know, probably as an excuse to procrastinate) the more I think it is literally the ravings of madmen.
Still, it's entertaining

Tell me about trees

What is there to know
Well seeing as how you have to go to school for four years to be a master arborist I would say there is a lot to know.
Edit: then of course you have /r/trees which is a whole other subject.
Is being an arborist fun? Seems like a cool job
I dk I am not an arborist. Just like to cultivate plants as a hobby and trees are super interesting. But it seems to me that it would be hard to get a job in that field. My guess is you would end up trimming oaks all day which is not fun at all.
Of course you wouldn't get a job in the field, there's not many trees in fields.
The field is where all the trees are. They prefer the country over the city for sure.
So?

I mod the very small /r/suspiciousLackOfDads, where we provide examples of how everyone seems to assume "mom" and "parent" mean the same thing.
/r/suspiciousLackOfDads
Fixed. Your link had a suspicious lack of the letter S on the end of suspicious.
Curse you iPhone.
I'll fix my op
Typo in your link but as a stay-at-home dad I'm very interested in your subject matter. I've noticed it a lot.
Being a stay at home dad is great. My hubby was one for 3 years and now it's switched. Fuck anyone who looks down on any of you.
That's what caused me to initially notice it too. I'm not a SAHD anymore, but I was for a while.
Like, my local library has "Mommy and Baby Storytime" and the pool has "Mommy and Me" classes, it makes me feel like I'm not welcome to take my kids to these things. It's super uncomfortable.
Yeah. I tried going to one of those playtime meet up groups when my kid was ~1yo, got ostracized by the moms there. Not ignored, more like "don't play with that girl" while pointing at my daughter. Just. Wtf?
My kids are in a co-op preschool where the parents volunteer and it honestly took six months before the moms would give me the time of day. Their kids would always play together and leave out my son.
But they've gotten used to me now two years on and my kid has such a big personality that he makes it hard to ignore him. I don't have any friends there, but at least my kids do.
This happened to me too. I'm a mom. My daughter and I look like we're different races. She looks a lot more like her father. Everyone always assumed I was her nanny and we weren't exactly welcomed into the fold right away (and for some of them we never were).
How do I check it out? When I click the link it says private or does not exist
Try /r/suspiciousLackOfDads
I think I typo'd the original link.
Omg. I got about 5 posts in and had to click away in disgust! First the obvious overtone of dad's apparently having nothing to do with their children, second the implication that moms don't work and get hang out with their kids all day long. Wtf is this 1950? Because I grew up in the 80's and my mom fucking worked. My dad also worked. And they both did their best to spend evenings and weekends with me and my brother.
That's the point of the sub, to call attention to that kind of behavior so that dads can be treated like parents and not babysitters.
Yeah I do get it. I am just still surprised that in 2017 it is still assumed that women stay home and get to hang out with their kids all day while dads work and never see their families. First of all most of the time both parents have to work. So who gets to take the kids to mommie and me events? Grandparents??? Sitters? Even if we could get by on one income I make more than my husband so he would be the one at home. I know my bff has that situation. She works full time and her hubby works part time and spends most of his time at home with their son so she does not get to go to any mommy and me shit he goes to it all. Totally outdated assumptions in our society
so much potential for this sub.

It's a place where people submit bizarre videos which would fit in with the stuff seen on Rick and Morty.

Tried to find a falconry subreddit the other day. /r/Falconry is dead. Turns out it's under /r/BirdsOfPrey.
Just want to throw out there that if a sub is dead and the only owner is absent (hasn't commented in a while) you can /r/RedditRequest totake over the sub.
I didn't know you could do that... I just asked the moderator of r/nightflight if I could help out or take it off their hands.... sadly I have no idea what I'm doing
There is a sub, something like /r/ModHelp that can help you.
Moderating a sub varies depending on the size and activity. I moderate a few that pretty much regulate themselves. Others need a lot more attention. I had to stop modding one where flairs needed to be updated regularly and I just didn't have time to review the requests.
/r/baduk
For the board game known as "Go" in the US. Baduk is the Korean name for the game. Igo or go in Japanese, weiqi in Chinese. Among all its names, "baduk" is the least ambiguous.
You can understand how searching for "go" or even "board game go" anywhere on the internet is futile with "go" being a very commonly used verb in English. So using "baduk" actually makes it easier for those who know the other terms, but for the uninitiated is often confusing.

Out of the entire Reddit community, you are chosen by random and invited to the sub. You stay in the sun as long as you make a minimum of 1 post or comment per week.
It's a way of making friends and feeling special. Like you won the lottery. No rules about what you could post about, so there were some interesting topics.
Only 2 rules for the sub, if I remember correctly:
1.) While you're a member of /r/vatvay, do not talk about the sub.

Have you ever seen Taytay's bellybutton? I don't think so. It's very elusive. Someone once told me this and now I can't help but notice how many high waisted clothes she owns.
She has no bellybutton. She hides this fact so people don't figure out she's a clone! OH MY GOD!
Taylor Swift is an Illuminati clone confirmed
Is this a reference to that fucking S Club movie?
It's a reference to the general sci-fi trope of clones not having an umbilical cord and therefore no bellybutton.
There was an S club movie?
I heard about it, but I wanted to binge S Club 1-6 first.
Did you survive the experience?
I'm directing S Club 8 so... uhhhhhhh. Yeah!
Really?
Actually, clones have belly buttons. Though they do think they're gross.
The blonde chick from the Butcher Babies (whose name escapes me), actually has no belly button. There's a medical name for it, but I never noticed until I saw an instagram pic where she mentioned it. Thought it was interesting, but I'm still not a fan of theirs.
She Jesus. That'd be the medical term.
Except she heard the meme and showed her belly button that one time....
It exists.
scrolls through first page of that sub looking for belly button
... Huh.
It was a thing years ago, and she herself called it out, but in the past few years she's been more open about it.
She showed her belly button once, and r/photoshopbattles went nuts with it before Buzzfeed picked it up.
r/DesirePath
? That doesn't work. Desire path is literally the name of those kind of paths, not something reddit just made up. People searching would instantly find that sub
Well, I didn't know the name for those kind of off-beaten paths in English. =)
Literally have never heard that term before reddit, and have never of it outside of reddit. So in my case, it works perfectly.

[removed]
also check out /r/isro for live streaming rocket launches, and general discussion of the Indian space program. Very cool
(Even cooler when you realise ISRO generates a profit for the Indian taxpayer)
he first sub most people land on is r/india which has become compromised with political paid mod shills
Seeing how things like these tend to go /r/IndiaSpeaks is somehow likely to be overrun by group opposed to whatever /r/india mods shill for, bringing in their own shills and shitheads and eventually turning it into another echo chamber.
Its why it has community moderation and mod logs are visible for users. Uptil now they have done good job by keeping shills to echo chamber like r/bakchodi and till no one silenced in the way r/india does to handle trolls and any oposition, /r/IndiaSpeaks will do fine.

Holy shit, it took me way to long to make the connection. Superb owl, smh, I'm dumb
Wait. Reddit's search function can actually find things?? I HAD NO IDEA!
Edit: Because it sucks.
r/EthiopianFood
That sub Reddit is amazing
it leaves you hungry for more
r/keming
I am surprised I hadn't seen it here yet!
That hurts my eyes. I literally can't look at those any more.
/r/gonewilder SFW

/r/ExtraMile - a NSFW sub...
/r/ggggg
/r/peloton for fans of pro cycling. /r/cycling and/r/bicycling are about actually riding bikes.
Not surprising if you're into pro cycling though. "Peloton" is the name given to a group of cyclists (especially in French during Tour de France). "Peloton de tête" (head peloton) is the group of cyclists who are in front of everyone.
The question was subs that are hard to find on search, not surprising names
Ah sorry, I didn't get that OP meant subs hard to search by name (since you can also search by content, and using the content in the sidebars).
r/youdontsurf
/r/squaredcircle is a loosely related wrestling term. It's a pro-wrestling sub.
...and yet it feels like an anti-wrestling club often ;)
It's only a matter of time until we start seeing posts about how Braun Strowman doesn't deserve his push.
r/CatsISUOTTATFO

/r/AVoid5.
That subforum is alright. Sadly you cant put down that Baltic country group without using a fifthglyph.
-stonia,Latvia,Lithuania.
/r/Mondegreens
Lyrics in songs that sound totally different than what they actually are. For example in That one Christmas song when she says "and then we'll have some pumpkin pie" everyone knows it clearly sounds like she says "and the we'll have some fuckin' pie".
I'm noticing several owl related puns being made all across reddit. I don't quite get it. What's the deal?
They're a hoot.
Owl get back to you on that.
/r/SquaredCircle, aka Wreddit, the primary pro wrestling subreddit

I've memorized that. Upvoted not because girl but because it is very cool. However, I do concede that I initially clicked because girl
TIL: what that subs name stands for
Random question: there was a porn subreddit that someone took over by posting random images. (I think it was food?) The mods conceded the subreddit and gave everything to him.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
r/dragonsfuckingcars
Yes! I forgot about this fucking mental, 'why'-inducing sub. Top marks!

If you're looking for a sub set in a world overrun by zombies, try /r/subredditofthedead. It might be hard to find since it doesn't have "zombie" in it.
I may or may not be mentioning it because I may or may not be a mod there.

/r/PVCBowyer
A little self-promotion but have you ever been curious to try archery? A bow can be $100 or more and that's a lot of money to spend for something you're not sure you'll even like.
How about spending less than $30, with most of that being on the arrows?
You can build a solid bow for less than $10 made with materials you can buy in any hardware store that will let you figure out if archery is something you want to pursue. Plus it's badass to be able to build your own bow.
Post of the month OP.
Redditmobile needs to man up and offer some of the fun this post offers. Attention u/spez!

Hope I'm not too late: r/goodyearwelt is the one. Unless you know about shoes and the shoemaking process, you aren't going to find this subreddit - you'd just think "wow these people that love tires sure talk about shoes a lot"

I'm subscribed to so many slightly different but very similar cat subreddits.
/r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt
Apparently if you want to find the community of yoyo enthusiasts they call themselves r/throwers. I can kind of understand it but still find it a bit silly. It's like yoyo is too "cute" of a word so hobbyists have to come up with something more mature. It's the same thing with disc golf. It's a fucking frisbee! Yet If you ever say that to them they think it's some derogatory remark for the great sport of frisbee golf. Just embrace the whitest hobbies known to man and call it for what it is. It's a god damned yoyo and frisbee
I saw a ton of these subs on /r/popular before I came to this thread. Now I know why they're there!
It's crazy - nearly every subreddit mentioned in this thread is on the front page now.
The askreddit effect
r/exspecialedkids
A subreddit where former special ed students share their stories and experiences with the special ed system, criticize and suggest how to change or improve the system.
Action dan here, so like tard stories?
r/dontdeadopeninside
Shameless plug for /r/twistypuzzles - subreddit dedicated to collecting rubik's cubes and their variants. Hasn't really taken off yet but I'm trying.
Might want to check out /r/Cubers
I'm aware of that subreddit, thanks. It's a generalist subreddit for speedcubing and cubing memes. Mine has a narrower focus. They have no interest in linking to mine either, sadly.
r/longstabbything
Dedicated to the antics of the Channel 9 Australian news with hilarious anchor Carl Stephanopolis (sp?)
Karl Stefanovic, and holy shit that's amazing.
Many serious discussion fan subreddits come to mind. Rick and Morty, Dr Who, Star Trek. They're all anti-memes and low effort posting so I fear linking directly.
The Star Trek discussion circlejerk is /r/ShittyDaystrom though.
/r/benignexistence has low-key friendly idle conversations.

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Also it tears down and reviews cool tools
church of AvE
So, I just googled that, and I still have no idea what the reddit would be about.
Ave is a Canadian YouTuber who speaks in eloquent shop vernacular while tearing down tools for the express comparison of how they stack up....
Or how skookum they are
The whole church of AvE thing is a light-headed poke at the followers, who tend to follow like it was a religion
Thank-you. I looked at the actual subreddit, and it still made no sense.

/r/MGTOW, it means Men Going Their Own Way, it's about men who don't see a point in relationships and see women in general as people who can't be trusted and give advice for other people who think the same way.
They don't hate women, they just think most of them are like that. I know, It souds pretty bad at first, but there is some pretty powerful stuff in there that could probably change your perspective on the world, and maybe your life as well.
Edit: fixed a spelling mistake.
That thread is gross as fuck
Is this view point not inherently sexist?
Just as feminists assuming most guys are rapists is sexist
Yes you're right, most feminists assume most guys are literal rapists. Jesus Christ.
Yes... that is also sexist...
A false positive, you just waste time/energy running from someone that wasn't a rapist. A false negative and it's your life. Being wary of strangers keeps women alive.
The part of a feminist that believes most men are rapists is not informed by her feminism, rather by her ignorance and sexism.
It is not about the women. It is about the cost vs value of having relationships with them.
They think that is it simply a bad fucking deal for men. It is.
So they want no part of it.
This is kinda why I work so hard to be good to my boyfriend. He's been taken advantage of and fucked over by quite a few girls (they're too immature to be called women) in the past. I want him to know I appreciate everything he does (even if it doesn't benefit me), that he's amazing, and I enjoy putting in 110% effort to see him happy.
All relationships benefit greatly if each person in it spends more time making the other person happy than themselves.
In my experience, it is easier to make someone else happy than it is to make yourself happy. So. If each person uses their energy to make the other happy, less effort is expended and more happiness is gained.
It will suck if you are not in a relationship there that is reciprocated.
Yeah there's no problem with not wanting a relationship and feeling like you've been fucked over by women but to flip into women in general can't be trusted is the messed up part. I mean I guess if they also think most men can't be trusted either but that's not the implication.
I agree with this. People have a tendency to oversimplify complex issues. Guys placing blame on women as the sole cause of a problem is one of the ways people oversimplify things. The guys I know that feel this way have relationship issues with both genders and they're not aware that they have issues being friends with men. I bet there are men out there that only have relationship issues with women. From the pool of people I know it's the former.
i think it has to do with a very personalised viewpoint.
Sort of like; if you only ever met dogs that bite, you would feel comfortable with the assumption that all dogs must bite and live by that "knowledge." So these guys have dated, or have witnessed dating women and have had bad experiences, and so live in the "knowledge" that it isn't worth it. And to some, perhaps it isnt. But that may be where the generalization of "women are bad, mmkay?" is coming from.
Their position is that women can not be trusted to be anything other than what women are.
They choose what they have evolved to choose, for the reasons they have evolved to have. If men go into a realationship and think that what they are entering into is anything other than what it is, that is bad.
Maybe. It's saying the majority of a gender is bad, but to be honest there is a lot of truth behind this stereotype.
I guess I just don't understand why being a confident individual that has chosen not to pursue a relationship also has to come with the double edge of most women being a certain way. Even if most women are concerned with relationships to a greater degree than men that is not inherently wrong.
It's just a ridiculous goal to try and generalize half the world's population.

If you want to get into Bitcoin you'd check out r/bitcoin first. Some folks never discover that it's heavily censored to suit the interests and push the narrative of one company, r/btc is a much more open place.
More neutrally, the bitcoin community is heavily split and so has two subs, both of which think the other are shills and morons.
I don't necessarily agree with everything you see in r/btc, but the difference is political moderation.

Oh god, just read a few of the requests, and they were so terrible. One of them talks about how women are the new men and aren't interesting anymore... and then requests a random blow job.
Pretty accurate. When I first found it there was 3-4 F4M requests from my local city. Would possibly check them out if I was single.
Wouldn't that be r/randomeatouts or something?
Edit, didn't exist. I'm shocked!

Awful taste but great execution. Stupid paint jobs, hair cuts, tattoos, etc that are done well.
My goal in life is to be one of these people.
I feel like when you find a thing that you love so much and think is so cool that you are willing to spend vast amounts of money and effort to make it happen despite (probably) knowing that everyone else around you won't get it... you have found true enlightenment at that point.
Dude with beer cans as gauges in his car, I do not understand you, but god dammit I am happy for you.
That's a wholesome way to look at it. Most people dislike those people because of their taste, or maybe because of the fact that they have the ability to disregard what everyone else will think of them while enjoying what they enjoy. Be happy for them. They may not understand how crazy they look to others, but let them stay that way.
Unless they're an jerkhole, then screw them.
When you realise that the people you worry about thinking little of you infact hardly ever think about you at all, it frees you from all of this "Oh I can't do that X will think I'm stupid".
Fuck them. It's your life, you live it the way you want.
At the top of this comment chain is an entire subreddit dedicated to thinking about the odd shit people do.
Not to mention - there are very few people whos opinion actually matters. Your family, SO, close friends, colleagues, boss? Important for either personal or pragmatic reasons. Strangers, acquaintances or random internet trolls? Only as important as you make them...
This is the thing I was always scared about until I started working in fast food. I realized that yeah, some ridiculously dressed people would come through our store, but we only ever really remembered the people who were obnoxious to us. We've had a couple drag queens come through in full drag (pretty conservative town) and other than being unique we didn't really care.
Just live your life, no one else really has enough time to care unless you want them to.
This.
My mom had two sayings regarding this. Her first was almost identical to yours: "Don't worry about what people are thinking of you; they're not thinking about you at all."
Her second was, "Don't worry if you look weird. Most people rarely notice. And the rest don't care."
Exactly.
So many times my girlfriend is there getting ready for a night out and all she says is "Oh I hope I don't look fat" etc etc. One time I got annoyed with her about it. I asked her if she ever looks at other girls and think they look fat or anything? She was taken aback, but she said no. And I said exactly, all the other girls are thinking the same as you, but they're all too worried about what others are thinking of them to have time to look at others.
Today on my way to lunch I was riding my motorcycle and saw a dude on the crosswalk just like rapping to anyone around him who would listen, like going hard.
So naturally, as I passed I gave him a thumbs up and revbombed to let him know I enjoy his eccentricity. He seemed happy, certainly made my day :)
There was a dude just dancing and jamming out and singing with his headphones in line at the Liquor store a couple months ago, like spinning and jumping and all. It really stuck with me.
yeah, I'm gonna judge you for that one
Dude most of my upvotes on atbge are because the subject is fucking awesome even if it's odd or defies what most would consider conventional. Some of them are because they're truly awful but that sub is filled with awesome shit.
Although id worry about being so disconnected from the human race that a shrek paintjob is a good idea to me. Or nails with titties on them.
Most of the time time they are assholes unfortunately.
100% agree with you. I just tattooed the spongebob mayonnaise jar on my hip. At some point you just have to say "fuck it."

Hahaha wtf. This is so random. Awesome!
Well..I misread that as beer cans as gauges in his EAR.
I got uncomfortably interested and then very disappointed when I found the picture you were talking about.
I would love to have the warhammer aquila tattooed somewhere, but due to the recent growth of the alt-reich, I'm not comfortable taking it. It's too easy to mistake for a nazi symbol :/
I have that problem too. A lot of the things I find aesthetically cool have been stolen by the alt-right, neo-nazis, etc. for use in their symbology.
Fuck you, dudes. Come up with your own shit. This must be how the Hindu and Buddhists felt when the Nazis stole their swastika.
Then there are people like /u/pleasereturnto also in this thread who thinks the confederate flag looks cool, despite not even being American. It sucks to feel uncomfortable liking art simply because the people associated with that art were kinda shitty.
Man, I hear you. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a car with the Confederate flag on it and my taste has still not changed. Same with the Mexican flag ever since I saw it in a parking lot. I'm not even from America or Mexico, but I just thought it looked so cool, taste be damned. Same thing happened with anime, mlp, and all that other bullshit. Spent so much money it's not even funny. No that it was a waste, since I don't regret it.
My father, though conservative, taught me that when I can earn the money to do whatever the fuck I want and I still want to do it, then I can do whatever makes me happy. I'm really thankful to him for supporting me through everything even though we didn't share the same interests, and I'm glad that I now have the means to return the favor.
I went back to look for the beer can gauges but couldn't find them. Can you give me a link to end my disappointment?
Here you go brotato.
I love this view so so much. :-)
I am proud to say I am one of those people!

The word your looking for is "better." Or perhaps, "less bad."
Edit: didn't mean to come off as a dick, mb
I prefer "unworser"
'...a little less worse than that guy." I stand by my original statement.
It would still be 'less bad' in that context too.
You are correct. I concede. You are the superior grammarian. Thanks for safeguarding the Queen's English.
Neither of us were trying to be argumentative or 'the superior grammarian.' Language plays an important role in how we clearly articulate our ideas. Common rules are what allow people from all over the world to communicate in concise, meaningful ways.
I'm not offended and I meant no offense. I thought I was funny. But it seems I was wrong again.
If reddit has taught me anything, it's that the moment this sub gets popular, half of the comments will be how a given pic doesn't belong on ATBGE.
we are already getting those reports as the sub grows. Our response is usually that taste is subjective and we won't remove it.

TIL how much I needed this sub in my life.
Half of the stuff in there is arguably pretty fucking cool. And the top comments are arguing that exact point.
I know right! Reminds me of a narcissist, feeding on himself, yet never satisfied.
Subscribed! Thanks!
Underrated sub. I'm glad you shared it here.
Damn, some people on there are being ridiculous. Some posts are great, but many of the posts are people who just don't like a color and/or type of car. There are also the people who are being super elitist on the one purple car post (which is one of the color opinion posts) where they cant stop circlejerking about the guy listening to "Pop2K". People can listen to whatever they want, sit the fuck down.
They have the Type R on the front page right now. 0/10
TIL I have a really shitty taste in car paint jobs because I honestly love a lot of these.
Man people are losing their shit over the Civic type R post over there.
