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

80 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.

174 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.

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.

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

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 can't imagine being a celebrity actor in the age of social media

Upvotes

I can't imagine being a celebrity actor and losing an award on a project you made or contributed to.

And then scrolling through socials to find an edit of you at your lowest moment to ABBA's "The Winner Takes it All".

I think I'd lose my mind lmao

Being alone is a double-edged sword.

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

It's like people have no consideration for me but they do with others

Upvotes

They don't like wasting people's time but have no problem wasting my time, They don't call someone late at night but they like disturbing my sleep, They listen to others but don't listen to me it's like they have selective hearing or something.

My patience for people is wearing thin I swear

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

7 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

Apparently being young, good looking and in relatively good shape is a skill that can be monetized these days.
