Been pooping today and my poop was black which had me worried. Normally it's never black unless I'm drinking. So in a panic I googled it and of course you get all the same looking medical sites that alert you that you have severe stomach bleeding and are going to die at any second.

So I do what everyone is forced to do, add "reddit" to the end of my search term, and what do you know? It's the same shit on reddit. Someone has black stool and some redditor called "fartboxpuncher" tells them they're dying.

You have to dig through like 60 something same replies until you find someone who actually did have black stool and who's partner is a nurse. They said wait it out 24 hours and see if it doesn't go away, or it might be something you're eating.

Sucks that people are forced to put up with the highest upvoted "answers" being copy pasted from medline2line247.online.biz and not from someone with like actual first-hand advice.

And that's not to even mention the AI results which probably would tell me I'm turning into a lizard and I should drink gasoline.

    Even my hobbyspace subreddits are going to shit and that was my justification to keep using it.

      Used to use it for CTH and magic the gathering... I now almost exclusively use it for porn now... TMI I know but I think it's hilarious. I peruse the suggested subreddits and some are hella toxic... Like the rate me stuff. Perfectly fine looking men and women subjecting themselves to Internet brain worms and soured fee fees for karma... And the women get rated much harsher than the men, based off of things like weight and tattoos... debord-tired

        I missed out on both CTH and GenZedong era stuff actually. I was probably still a theory-less DemSoc pleb around the time all the drama happened. I mostly just skim my front page until my eyes can't roll anymore, delete a few subs that are now toxic or astroturfed, then go to either my current special interest or hop form hobby sub to hobby sub, then log off lol. Like, that's genuinely my browsing habit. But for the most part, right now it's mostly used for autism subs, web dev stuff, and X4

        TMI I know but I think it's hilarious.

        I've never seen any porn on reddit, like ever. Scout's honor.

        It's actually funny because right now /r/itookapicture is seemingly imploding because it's become a dump spot for low effort quasi-porn nudes.

          You gotta turn certain features on to find nsfw posts. It's a great place to look for... Uhh.... Nonmonogamous stuff ;3 (a lot was still toxic ala UlyssesT's post about gooning, aggression and hormy, submission domination, yada yada, [I didn't have a chance to expound on it myself and basically explain my own take on it] anyways found more of what I would look for -"c _ _ _ed by friends"[ would prefer it to be a comrade or my soon to be husband tbh] , less toxic, more wholesome, and not just derived from just lust, more to do with love, imo :3) porns still not the greatest though... And sorry to hear the sub turned into tasteful nudes, or something similar. Honestly, sometimes I delete reddit when I need to take a 'TB' and or want to steer away from being HORMY as much as possible. But my problem is that I AM the hormy. But recently delving into it a bit deeper emotionally has given insight into why my particular taste in non-monogamy makes me splooge particularly hard and it's helping prune the more problematic elements of it, and also has helped me keep a 'volcel' or no fap streak going, so that's nice.

          Sorry for the unintentional hormy post

          And thanks Steven universe, for making me cry like a lil bitch and confront some inner 'demons'( stupid id, ego, and super ego, making me go brrr)
