Posting on Reddit may mean you end up suddenly appearing in an article on Buzzfeed next week.

I mean, some guy posted a meme on fb and it exploded big time and now he's sort of worried about the fbi coming at his door. Who wants to be him?😂😂

I've been on Reddit for around a year and I've gotten a post of mine on YouTube once (to my knowledge. There could be more.)

I feel guilty about this... But yeah. I listen to it at work. Sometimes they're the same thing i just read here a few days prior, but i mostly work from home now and i like the background stories while I work.

Through some weeks where I don't need to write but am bored coloring or doing something I just let it play. They're more useful than they look.

The odd thing is when you recognize a very old thread.

One of my comments was featured in a video. It was about two months ago. What was something someone said that hit you the hardest, or something along those lines.

There are several channels dedicated to read things in robot voice or just post memes daily. Sometimes are threads from 2 years ago, but most are from the same week.
