quote:

My bass got stolen...
I (18M) was at my grandmother's house since my mom (44F) didn't want me to be home alone for a whole weekend since she had to go to her husband's (45~M) grandmother's house to help painting the house. We arrived back at home this Sunday in the afternoon to see that someone got into the house and stole my bass, my piano, my computer, some watches and some clothes. I'm completely devastated, my sire v7 that I loved so much, I feel like I'm missing a part of my body. I'm just so sad and everything, I cannot express it in words. Has something like this happened to you? What do you do to cope with it?

Feel bad for the dude because having your instruments stolen sucks, but I have to laugh he did the total reddit thing of listing the ages of everyone (not even) involved. Like did he think he'd be queried on how old his mom's husband would be if he didn't include that crucial detail?

I think it's often a reddit requirement, and even on subs that it isn't it has become so ingrained, and it's super dumb.

Getting poo poo stolen is loving poo poo though. I think if any of my guitars got stolen I'd be a wreck for weeks. There is also the question of why their parents didn't feel like an 18 year old could be left alone for a weekend tho?

I think a lot of the subreddits make you add that information. It's stupid and dumb, much like reddit itself

My theory is an adult wasn't allowed to be alone at home because his parents organised the theft to try and deter him from pursuing music. What a bunch of pricks.

If you read the relationshits thread you’ll learn that every redditor with a relationship problem due to the age gap will try to hide the age gap so it saves everyone some time when a 45 year old wonders why his 19 year old girlfriend is acting like a teenager or why his 20 year old kids make fun her when she tries to tell them it’s their bedtime.

"That's what they all say!"
/r/catholicism is weird because it feels like the only subreddit for a religion that spends most of its time discussing how much more faithful they are then their own clergy and leadership (you don't see /r/islam regularly bitching about Muslims who don't pray every day).


Today is a real doozy, because you've got two major events:

1. Reactions to the announcement this morning by Pope Francis of new restrictions on the use of the old Mass in Latin. People are flipping out, calling the Pope a heretic, a schismatic, and an antipope (!).

2. It's the anniversary of the end of the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099, and people are participating in apologetics for the estimated 3,000 Jewish and Muslim civilians (including women and children) massacred in mosques, temples, and synagogues, as testified to in the writings of the Crusaders themselves. They also exaggerate mistreatment of Christians in the Fatimid Caliphate and ignore places were it was a relative model of tolerance for religious minorities.


Beyond that, there's the weekly griping about masturbation (which they sometimes claim, in a way that stretches the definitions of the Catechism, is a mortal sin) and calling James Martin (a priest who advocates treating gay people with compassion and listening to their concerns) a wolf in sheep's clothing who needs to be excommunicated.

I thought stuff like Hydrohomies was funny until I realized it was just people doing innocuous whitenoise posting nonstop to farm upvotes for whatever reason.

It's not as well-curated/moderated as the thread here, but r/Simpsonsshitposting is one of the only subreddits I've seen that's more or less okay.

The bits of reddit I found that actually have a pleasant are some of the BadAcademic ones or fitnesscirclejerk. I don't know if "pleasant" is maybe the right word but FCJ is fun.


Speaking of age gaps, here's a case where the OP is either bad at creative writing details or is lying about the age gap, which is obviously a problem in their relationship but doesn't want anyone to point that out.

It's been a common trend throughout history that the catholic church just isn't extreme enough for religious psychopaths, so they kept immigrating to America to join the protestant religions.

They do do they thing a lot of Reddit mods like where they overly litigate where it’s impossible to ask a question unless you know all the unwritten rules and weird hang ups they have on specific phrasing or words, in spite of the spirit of the rules, but yeah, much better than most of Reddit.

It’s the niche online forum effect where the easiest way to prove how committed you are to the group is to be the most extreme and hardline version and shout down anyone who tells you to chill as a fake member or whatever, leading to the worst users setting the tone.

"That's what they all say!"
I looked up the subscribers for the main subreddits of the world's major religions and sects of Christianity. It gives a pretty interesting portrait of the distribution of faiths on Reddit, or, at least, the distribution of people who care enough about their faith to talk about it online.


Atheism - 2,677,604
Buddhism - 429,940
Christianity - 292,120
Islam - 164,858
Pagan - 153,575
Catholicism - 124,025
Hinduism - 103,071
Judaism - 64,022
Latter Day Saint Movement - 44,636
Reformed (Calvinist) - 40,674
Orthodox Christianity - 27,201
Sikhism - 17,086
Pantheism - 15,270
Anglicanism - 9,560
Unitarian - 6,326
Deism - 6,292
Baháʼí - 6,125
Agnosticism - 5,254
Shinto - 4,536
Protestantism - 3,860
Zoroastrianism - 3,485
Baptist - 2,740
Jainism - 2,454
Seventh-Day Adventist - 948
Pentecostalism - 884
Jehovah's Witnesses - 526
Methodist - 449
Anabaptist - 333

Thoughts:

  • Poor /r/agnosticism, massively outnumbered by /r/atheism. Though, what is there to discuss about a position where the existence of deities is not only unknown, but may be unknowable?
  • The Jehovah's Witness subreddit is private, which explains the tiny size.
  • Most surprising fact to me: more pantheists than Anglicans. Also, I kind of knew this already, but there are a lot of pagans on the internet.
