I just checked it for the first time in ages and we've got:

  • /r/WinStupidPrizes
  • /r/Cringetopia
  • /r/JusticeServed
  • /r/IdiotsInCars
  • /r/facepalm
  • /r/PublicFreakout
  • /r/TIHI (Thanks I Hate It)
  • Some guy celebrating his divorce with a selfie featuring his miserable looking ex wife
  • And of course some gaming stuff

At what point did Reddit become so obsessed with finding people to recreationally get mad at? It's like a majority of the front page content. Terrible vibes.

    The way some people talk about car accidents you'd think the only risk is needing to drive a rental and your premium going up. Like they can kill/disable you so fuckin easily

      So many people absolutely think this. I know way too many people who when I was a passenger and told them to slow down because there's often kids playing in this particular street / cyclists coming or whatever their response is "It's not my fault if I hit them, they shouldn't be in the road."

      Which isn't even legally correct, but besides that, is absolutely fucking psychotic. I used to wonder about cultures that do human sacrifices when I was younger, now I don't anymore.

        A lot of the "human sacrifices" the indigenous Americans were said to do were Spanish propaganda

            They've got some weird Albanian folklore about that, too. Might even be the origin of the German folklore - the Serbian version of the story was the one that made it to Jacob Grimm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozafa_Castle#Legend

        As much as I hate having to drive, I hate being a passenger more. So many people drive like they think nothing bad could ever happen to them and/or become complete psychopaths who hate everyone else on the road.
