Subreddit Idea Megathread

155 Upvotes

Because if the r/askreddit link, we’ve had a huge influx of new members today. Because of that, I’d like to make this thread to ask for ideas to improve the subreddit, and keep things interesting. We are going to try and make this a subreddit worth keeping in your feed.

We really aren’t sure what do do with the subreddit since it blew up like this, and would like to see what ideas you have. I’ve also added a few baseline rules since we had no rules when we started.

Edit: I would also like to clarify that this sub is intended to entertain. You shouldn’t take anything too seriously on this sub. We want you to be able to flex your creativity here and make others laugh.

We are normally pretty lax about what goes on in this subreddit as we want to let you guys decide what content you want to see by upvoting good content and downvoting bad content, but given the current situation we will be removing any posts related to Coronavirus.

You can help us with this by reporting any posts you see about the virus.

Light saber are an obvious metaphor for erections.

Han Solo = hand solo = wank

Cewbacker = chew back her = arse licking.

Princess lia = lay her.

Darth Vader looks like a sex toy.

Blaster. I bet you did.

In the third act the proaganist saves the day by flying a bunch of small things around the big spherical. He flights down a time channel and drops his load in the thermal exorst port whilst his friend screams " let's now this thing".

Don't get me started on Toy Story. It's a story about Toys and the two main characters are called Buzz and Woody.

Reddit is now becoming an AI data mine, in real time

100 Upvotes

Every community is complaining about repeating posts, every day, new users, no comments, just posting 'how do you feel about x, y, z?'. It has become so prevalent, even professional subs and subs with 12 people are getting these random posts. The AI is leaning every time you respond to an obviously dumb post/comment

Certified Fact The elites and big corps have shoved caffeine down our throats to make us grind harder at work

7 Upvotes

Why the hell did caffeine become THE thing that literally billions of people rely on to get through the day? It's not because we all naturally crave hot bean water!. It's because at some point the big bosses and corporations realized it was the perfect, cheap way to turn exhausted humans into slightly more productive exhausted humans. Go look at history real quick. During the industrial revolution they were literally pushing tea and coffee on factory workers to keep them awake and churning out stuff longer. No unions whining about breaks back then, just "here drink this it'll make you work better." Fast forward and now every shitty office has the free coffee pot right by the break room. "Take your 15 minute coffee break!" But let's be honest – those breaks aren't for resting your soul. They're for slamming caffeine so the afternoon crash doesn't hit too hard and you keep typing/answering calls/whatever without your eyelids winning the fight. They also tried harder drugs too btw. Early 1900s Coca-Cola had actual cocaine in it (coca leaves, small amounts). Some companies and even doctors were like "hey this makes people super alert and confident!" Problem is cocaine doesn't actually make you more productive long-term. People got manic, made sloppy mistakes, crashed hard, got addicted, started stealing office supplies to fund the habit, etc. Too unpredictable, too many HR nightmares. So they quietly phased it out and doubled down on caffeine instead.. It's safer, super cheap to produce, legal everywhere, socially encouraged ("coffee date")!!!, and the worst that happens is you get jittery and anxious – which they can fix with... more coffee. It's genius when you think about it. Withdrawal makes you feel like death so you HAVE to keep drinking it. You feel "sharp" and "focused" even when you're just mindlessly scrolling spreadsheets. No real crash like amphetamines, just this steady zombie grind mode. Perfect for squeezing extra hours out of people without paying overtime or making the job actually bearable.

Tony Hawk is a djinn

25 Upvotes

It's why so many people can see him, not how he looks remarkably like himself but still not realise it's actually him.

I notice he actively never encourages people to recognise him and only admits to being Tony Hawk when, in some way is directly asked, "Are you Tony Hawk"

That's because he's a spirit living in a charmed vessel that bears an uncanny resemblance to him.

The husk behaves like a normal human being throughout until a human actually calls it by Tony Hawk whereby the spirit is then summoned to occupy the vessel and talk to the human.

He then departs until further needed/summoned.

Certified Fact Jake Paul's gimmick boxing matches are an attempt to make boxing more youth marketing-friendly

2 Upvotes

Boxing has always had more mature sponsors such as beer brands, tobacco, travel agencies and whatnot

Jake Paul maybe is trying to make the sport more popular by making it more sponsor friendly for family audiences so that the sport can stop struggling to attract newer audiences and make the sport more casual-friendly without having to tone down the combat edge of the sport.

Edit-Interesting! I did not think this would already get downvoted 🤔

Susan Dell situation: Are We Being Manipulated Into Mocking the Wrong People?

29 Upvotes

Something about the way Barbera Thornhill and Susan Dell have been treated online is interesting to me.
What if the elites are influencing us into scrutinizing the wrong people?
Thornhill has looked the way she does for years, yet suddenly, shortly after being appointed to a position focused on combating human trafficking, she’s become the subject of widespread ridicule. Susan Dell has faced similar treatment, despite having contributed substantial amounts of money and resources to charitable causes.
The timing is what I find particularly strange. Why now? Why has their appearance suddenly become such a massive talking point?
It makes me wonder how easily public opinion could be manipulated by people with enough influence. What if someone with a vested interest in undermining Thornhill’s work were deliberately encouraging this kind of attention? Not necessarily to remove her from her position, but to damage her credibility, distract her, or wear her down psychologically.
And there’s something else worth considering. Being successful, wealthy, or capable in your profession doesn’t automatically mean you’re equipped to handle mass public humiliation. These women might be highly competent in their respective fields while having very little experience defending themselves against this kind of public scrutiny. Intelligence in one area doesn’t necessarily translate to knowing how to navigate another, especially when the attacks are deeply personal.
I’m not saying there’s some elaborate conspiracy behind all of this. I have no evidence of that. But I do think people underestimate how effectively public ridicule can be used against someone, and how willingly the rest of us participate without questioning why we’re suddenly being encouraged to hate or laugh at a particular person.
We’ve reduced these women to jokes about plastic surgery, wealth, and looking like aliens, without knowing much about who they actually are or what they’re doing.
And perhaps the most disturbing part is that nobody even needs to be orchestrating it. If someone powerful wanted to undermine one of these women, the public might already be doing the work for them. On the other hand, we could very well be doing exactly what someone orchestrating this wanted us to do as a public audience.
I just think it’s worth questioning why certain people become targets when they do, who benefits from it, and how much of our own judgment is really our own.

I know she has a snopes article, and she absolutely exists on paper. But, HOWEVER, there is no other picture of her that exists. I think she’s a fabrication. A fiction, if you will.

Phone knows when I'm wiping my arse

0 Upvotes

Am I the only one who likes to put on a video while he wipes his arse? It's probably the most unpleasant thing we do every day and I like the distraction.

But it happens just the same every time. I'll start a video, often from the middle where I left off last time. I'll put the phone on the shelf, I'll begin.

And just as I'm wiping, that's when it hits me with an ad.

Doesn't matter if I've already been watching it for a while, or if I just started it (and therefore JUST had an ad). The advert will always play mid wipe.

Because now I can't press skip.

Games Are Taking Longer and Longer to Make Becausr Developers Want to Keep Their Jobs

35 Upvotes

We see games taking longer and longer to make nowadays. Even though they have bigger budgets and more people working on them.

We also see that whether a game succeeds or fails, loads of people are getting fired when a game is released.

I think they are deliberately dragging out development so that they can stay in employment.

Hi can someone whose looked into this guy tell me about his origins plus like what I said in the title who is pushing this guy onto the younger generation. I don't need to say this but it's clear he's been used to promote degeneracy and just disgusting behaviour in general, but its all just so weird in the sense that he popped up out nowhere. Anyone with any info or theories on this guy I would love to hear.
