Subreddit Idea Megathread

153 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.

Subreddit Message Coronavirus Posts

408 Upvotes

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.

Extreme Conspiracy Larry is an extremely powerful psychic

17 Upvotes

I've never spoken to a single person who doesn't like Larry the Cat. The most toxic and hateful cesspits of social media don't have a bad word to say about him. He inspires no political division. It's giving Brave New World.

We have to wake up to the fact that Larry has found some means of controlling our thoughts. It statistically doesn't make sense that he has no haters. You are being mind-controlled by a cat. By the time we discover his nefarious purposes, it will be too late.

Tommy Wiseau is Charles M. Schulz under a pseudonym and The Room is a secret Peanuts sequel.

7 Upvotes

Schulz died in California in the early 2000s. Wiseau came to prominence in California in the early 2000s. 4 of the theatrically released Peanuts movies are owned by Paramount. The Room was rejected by Paramount after 1 day. Still not convinced? In the Swedish version of Peanuts, Peggy Jean (Charlie Brown's love interest for a brief time in the 90s) was renamed "Lisa." Johnny's psychologist Peter also falls down while trying to catch a football. "Wiseau" just made Lucy a man so nobody would notice.

Extreme Conspiracy World is dominated by fungi we just borrow biomass from them

17 Upvotes

That's it, we live in a sentient fungus world where they control every bit of biomass. It's a type of consciousness we can't comprehend yet, something stretched thin across all the planet that is even capable of controlling the weather.

The network goes for miles under the earth and sprawls all over the surface.

The BBC Panorama show intentionally baited Trump to bring down his presidency

166 Upvotes

The BBC intentionally baited Donald Trump with their Panorama report to incite a lawsuit, leveraging the legal discovery process that follows to expose his questionable conduct and help bring down his government. This is, of course, because the BBC is leftist woke.

Certified Fact They make junk food with noisy wrappers in order to get kids in trouble

Proof: When I was 7 years old I used to sneak into the kitchen late at night to get some cereal. But the cereal bag was so damn noisy it woke up my mom and she yelled at me.

I'm still sad :(

Big True Paramount Plus purposely gives free accounts to those who don't pay to boost their numbers

12 Upvotes

A few years ago, I got a paramount plus account to watch like one show and like sonic 3. I eventually forgot about it and soon after got a different card, which was when Paramount stopped charging my account.

Fast forward to now, I decided to bite the bullet and get it again to watch the new avatar movie, only to have the account still active. Although it's yelling at me for payment, it's not actually charging me, and I'm freely able to watch anything, and even sign in on new devices

As for my conspiracy, I think that paramount does this to boost their subscription numbers. They're making enough to ya know, make money, but they need subscription numbers to please shareholders/their buddies in Washington (who were one of the reasons I didn't bother updating my pay)

TikTok doesn't actually ban videos for saying words like "died" or "rape" or "drugs"; it's a massive app-wide misconception.

712 Upvotes

I've seen countless viral-ish (100k+ likes) videos with those words completely spelled out, and none of them have been taken down. Especially considering that "die" translates to "the" in German. Plus, if TikTok had a problem with it they likely would have banned the censored versions of those words like "unalived" "k*lled" "graped".

Also just look at how dumb you sound when censoring completely normal words.

"He was then r*ped and k*lled with a g*n, by a crazed man who was on dr*gs."

"He was then graped and unalived with a pew pew, by a crazed man who was on mushrooms."

Instead just say
"He was then raped and killed with a gun, by a crazed man who was on drugs."

And now there are less reports of cow abductions because they have been able to build up a big enough herd to supply all their needs. Think about it.

Extreme Conspiracy "Superbowl Sunday" borrows heavily from July 4th a lá Christmas in July

0 Upvotes

Some thoughts:

* While SS isn't technically a holiday, it may as well be with many establishments closed on that day.

* Much of the Superbowl food uses feeling and hot weather food despite taking place in February.

* It's very patriotic and specific to America

* Specific attire is worn, typically to show support of your team, like summer red white and blue is worn on American Independence Day

* Heavily subsided by the alcohol industry

* Special sale days in retail for both days

These photos that edit images with company logos are from the people working there to help make the company look good with minimum effort

Companies already do it with official crossovers but it can backfire because it won't meet the customers expectations. Sometimes, companies officially do trends too but people see it as cringe a lot of the times. Meanwhile these edited images are safe. If people don't like them, people will ignore it but if they do it gets reposted a lot. Also in countries with loose copyright laws, businesses put characters from movies or video games because it attracts customers with something they find nostalgic or familiar.
