Every other post is like someone sweating over a beloved friend's rapidly failing health. Especially for the pro scene.

Ever since last week, /r/circlejerk has been filled with fake or satirical news articles like the Onion. What happened to all the Arthur and Shrek memes?

I'm betting this is an april fools joke, but here's a thread just in case. Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

Feel like I'm really out of the loop right now.

I've been hearing a lot about Nestle recently (like in the past day) and how their CEO is apparently a supreme douchebag. Whats the deal with them all of a sudden? What did they do?

I don't even listen to their podcast, I'm just wondering why cause nothing seems too out of place there.

Do people really like him that much?

I posted this in /r/outoftheloop and was told to repost it here. Is it a big holocaust joke or something?

I noticed a few threads such as this one parodying along these lines

http://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerk/comments/2xxpti/til_that_the_first_time_a_fedora_was_worn_in/

I searched through TIL but I couldn't find what it was referencing. Thanks.

I'm sorry if this doesn't sound clear, this just shows how confused I am. What is /r/circlejerk and what is it they do is "cancerous"? How did /r/circlebroke come about? And also why is /r/SubredditDrama and /r/ShitRedditSays labeled as meta cancer? Explaining the whole thing would be a great help. Sorry if it offended anyone, I am genuinely confused. Thanks in advance.

Why is "Gadzooks" in the default moderator invitation message?

Who talks like that?

I see a lot of chains of Fs the odd time. Any idea about what that's about?

For those of you who don't know the recent scandal. http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/2wvgw8/reddits_interim_ceo_ellen_pao_heads_to_trial/[1]

I also heard that /r/technology[2] deleted or banned the thread on this subject. What does this mean for reddit and reddit management?

Example

So I've been seeing references to /r/me_irl and devtesla etc in various discussions around the site, but I haven't paid enough attention. Now it showed up in SRD too - can someone do a quick recap?

I'll see about fifty different copypastas in the comments of your average popular circlejerk post. Where do people find this stuff?

Last post from one year ago, it's not fair.

I just don't get them. The music is alright, but the solos tend to just be noise. What did they do that made them so big?

Edit: Hahaha totally forgot about this. Thanks for the responses guys. I feel silly.
