We spend a lot of time shitting on it for being a reactionary shithole, and rightfully so. But even the "good" parts of the site are almost unusable.

The constant streams of identical comments are so god damn stupid. They're not just horny, they only need "sauce" "for science". Remember when GLADOS said that in Portal 2? Good, because you will never ever fucking forget!

How many kind strangers can be thanked for gold? How many happy cake days can be experienced? How horny can /r/askreddit users be? How many songs can be typed out one word per comment, ending in a stupid pun or piece of wordplay? How many interesting topics of discussion can be immediately derailed by some turbo-🤓 being a pedantic piece of shit?

Did you know that correlation never means causation, ever? Did you know that homeless people are vermin? Did you know that China is bad?

Most mystifying to me are the useless subreddits. /r/chargeyourphone, unexpectedoffice, unexpectedthanos, uselessredcircle, and on and on and on. Like chargeyourphone. The entire goal of that subreddit is to archive screenshots that other people have posted- and in the screenshot you can see low battery percentages. Sixty seven thousand human beings (many of whom have attained at least a modern, partial education) made the active decision to regularly see examples. And actively proselytize by simply commenting "/r/chargeyourphone" when users post such screenshots elsewhere. Fucking why? Why do 163,000 people actively subscribe to a subreddit dedicated to pointing out that a reference to The Office (one of the most popular shows in American history) is made somewhere on Reddit? Is it that surprising? Commenting "/r/unexpectedoffice" under a banal comment referencing the show is the exact equivalent of someone butting in to scream "that's an Office reference" during a bland conversation.

Reddit is fucking stupid.
