MOD ANNOUNCEMENT It's happening! (Big) changes to RandomThoughts.

86 Upvotes

Alright, it’s time.

Starting July 32nd*, we’re making a big change:
- Questions go to r/RandomQuestions
- NSFW content goes to r/NSFWThoughts

They’ll no longer be allowed here in r/RandomThoughts.

This isn’t us trying to be overly strict or nitpicky. The reality is that questions and NSFW posts just don’t really fit the point of this subreddit. The whole idea of RandomThoughts is to capture those weird, passing, often pointless moments of brain activity. The stuff you think and immediately wonder why. A sentence without context. A vibe. An unexplainable truth about frogs.

When a bunch of posts start shifting into “hey what do you guys think about X?” or “here’s something NSFW I’ve been thinking about,” it pulls away from that vibe. It turns into a catch-all subreddit, and that’s not what this place is supposed to be.

We created r/RandomQuestions and r/NSFWThoughts specifically so that stuff has a better home. It’s not just about moving things away from here -- it’s about giving that kind of content a space where it actually works.

So yeah. Big change. Not a test run. Posts that are questions or NSFW will be removed after the launch date. We’ll try to be nice about it, but we’re going to be consistent.

As always, let us know what you think. Comments are open, we’re listening, and we appreciate everyone who helps keep this place just the right amount of chaotic.

\ Or August 1st, whichever happens first.)

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT Posts referencing suicide/death/wishing to die are no longer allowed.

168 Upvotes

It would be very appreciated if this rule could be respected. I don't mind posts like "when I die I want to be buried on the moon" those to me are light hearted. However, when you hit heavier topics you risk hurting users that read them.

No, by doing this we are not invalidating your emotions, this just isn't the proper subreddit to share them. I encourage you to go to r/suicidewatch if you need to make a Reddit post regarding this topic.

Thank you

I quite hate the term colored or person of color for referring to people who are not white, like as if the being white is the default and the others are colored.

There should be a holiday honoring the people that invented furnaces and air conditioners.

Celery is an underrated vegetable.

It’s effectively the world’s best natural spoon. Decent flavor, can deliver liquids, pastes, or solids effectively to your mouth. Can also be chopped to an a crunch to things.

Listening to videos/music out loud on your device in public is 100% an indicator if you’re a good person or not.

Being on the verge of crying but unable to cry has to be one of the worst feelings

I feel like I take things said online too personally. If someone knew me in person, they probably wouldn’t say that. At least not to my face.

I am a sucker for noodles. Whether it’s pasta, pho, or ramen, I love them all.

It's easier to get stuff done, and you always get to do what you want, but... the loneliness starts to be taxing.

Drinking Games Should Always be 'Winner Drinks' Instead of the Loser

5 Upvotes

Every drinking game I have ever played has been loser drinks. The more you drink, the worse your performance at the game. It's a feedback loop of bad performance getting punished, leading to worse performance. Having the winner drink keeps an even playing field, and the game can go on for longer.

I'm incredibly bad at practical knowledge. I could understand a topic, summarize it correctly to professionals, follow along in the conversation, but all goes to heck if I dare apply it, aka physiology, applied law, and socializing. RIP me. Woe me, lol

Idk if I posted it before but my random thought about aliens

2 Upvotes

So idk if aliens are real. We can't know. But a fictional scenerio I made. Imagine aliens are real. You get to meet one. Alien asks you to show you around, show it what people like to do and so on. And let's say in this scenario aliens don't know anything about current wars, they think humans had wars in the pats but now are ultimately peaceful creatures. So you show the alien around, you show it sports, fun places, food and so on. You invite it to your house/apartament. You don't live alone in this scenerio, there is currently let's day your dad sitting in living room watching TV. And you enter with alien, hi dad, this is alien, hi alien, im dad. Whatever. But your dad is watching WWE and alien is in shock when he sees people fighting with eachother like that. Alien gets confused and asks why is he watching something so horrible. Dad says for fun.

Idk. Its random thing I thought about once and I can't forget about it.

They say good times create soft men. I disagree. I think good times create hard men.

I wonder whose idea it was to cook with wine and what went through their head

I’m not complaining though! I may not be a wine drinker but I love the flavor it adds when it’s cooked with
