Just looked on /r/gonewild to see how long it would take to find someone commenting “I love your eyes” on a pic of a girl with her tits out

literally the first one I clicked. The first one

Lots of “I love your eyes / glasses” my man she’s showing her boobs to strangers online she’s not gonna swoon over your gentlemanly respectful comment and get on the first plane to your house and drain your balls

Finally, a gentleman in this house of smut!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
The layout of reddit loving sucks and if you hate puns boy you better stay the gently caress away. Also it's a race to the top if you want to have people even see your posts so you basically have to play the game if you don't want to waste your time. On the other hand, some of the subreddits are loving awesome content aggregates to the point that it's saddening when you find one with no/little activity. This doesn't actually happen a whole lot. I was kinda bummed their subreddit on roof gardens was so sparse.

The worst parts of reddit are kinda by design. It’s a microcosm of the real world, most of which is chaotic, insular and unfunny. But likewise it has some good specialized subreddits, moderated to keep out the masses.

otoh the good subreddits also kinda suck in their own regard thanks to local sub rules. no jokes in history for example.

due to reddits new layout 89% of all the subreddits are hidden. Good job!

You can also bork the front page algorithm by spamming upvotes from the same ip address.

My favorite part of reddit is the news stories about women who get charged with making false rape accusations ALWAYS make it to the top of r/all even if they are fake stories

Really paints a nice picture of a reddit user

This is just astounding to watch. They're obsessed with the fact that male rape exists as well. 90% of the cheating stories are about women cheating on men. And like every post is 'men of reddit what do you wish women knew that they don't about you'?

Many of the niche hobby subreddits are quite good. As long as you treat the site in general as a link aggregator rather than a platform for discussion or activism then you're fine. There are definitely people who self-identify as 'redditors' which is a pretty good indicator that someone has nothing going on in their life.

someone at work asked if I was a redditor and so i told her that I use reddit but i'm not really a redditor. so she was like 'oh so you're a redditor!' and honestly it kinda pisses me off because i take exception to being called a redditor.

Same reason why goons are like that I assume. I think if you're part of a group sometimes you pick up common traits in the group. Or you join the group because it welcomes traits you have. Guess it's a little of both. They are just stereotypes in the end though. For some reason I associate reddit with a lot of yelling but idk why.

It was the subreddit all the militant SJWs that used to camp on the forums ran to when the writing was on the wall. They used to have a reddit admin in their pocket but when they gravy train ran out and Trump got elected they all moved on to various other whiny subreddits like FuckTheAltRight and AgainstHateSubreddits and other echo chamber safe spaces where they could flail ineffectively.

Speaking of food, r/gifrecipes is great. Inevitably almost all gifrecipes created are loving terrible and you get to make fun of the idiots that thought it was such a good recipe. Like everything ever posted by Tasty.

r/food is a bad subreddit and I'm pretty sure they banned me at one point for critiquing someone's food.

Edit: haha yeah they banned me for talking poo poo about some stupid no bake cheesecake
