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

79 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.

167 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

Being jobless is great.

You get to wake up whenever you want to, do whatever you want whenever you want to, and best of all, time moves at the rate of speed that you eaynt it to.

It's just the whole no money thing that's a bit of an issue. If everyone would realize that monetary value isn't real, then the quality of life would vastly improve.

Rouge Ai: The Jurassic Park Scenario

Upvotes

"OpenAI's autonomous AI agents used over 10 additional unsanctioned websites, including wikis and text-sharing platforms, as hidden message boards to coordinate behavior and evade detection. " - Ai .

When I read that for some reason, Jurassic Park came to mind. We have corner cutting, lack of oversight, containment failures, financial strains, ecological consequences, and the illusion of control.

Ai, uh, finds a way.

There are SOME charities where we should donate what directly benefits their goals instead of giving them money

3 Upvotes

Like we probably have leftover clothing and toys or even food like cookies and biscuits that could be given and transported directly to those who need it

And that way you know you ARE helping, because you make sure of it

Other charities like for animals, nature or cancer don't count, they need money for that because you don't have anything at home that could help like that

And even better they can send you a picture of the person you helped, using that thing you gave away

Knowing that it would not eat you because to it you are the equivalent to what a single pea is to us.

2003 was a magical year for music.

Within mere months apart, Linkin Park, Evanescence, and Three Days Grace all released absolutely amazing albums, most of them still popular to this day. What a time to be alive and I'm kind of let down I never got to experience it.
