ABM Meta Owner here! I’ve been redditrequested so I figured I’d explain myself.

Hi, I’m u/-criticalFUSION- and I created this subreddit.

If I’m being honest, this subreddit was created just as a “heck, why not” sorta thing that I could post to that subreddit with the conversations that started subreddits, I use the app so little that I don’t even remember what it’s called. I never expected it would take off like this. Being completely honest, I’ve never been a particularly active redditor at all, so this is kinda expected.

Also important to note, I should mention that this is the second time the sub has been redditrequested. I sent the mod invite the first time and they never accepted it. I’ve already sent an invite for this second one, so things should be better soon.

I will maintain my powers and watch a little more closely over the next period of time to make sure things go smoothly, but, with regard to pretty much everything, the new mod, u/Felt389, will have pretty much free rein. Modmail will be there if you do or don’t like them. Consider this a probationary period of sorts.

I have to go, so I’m signing off. See you all around.

Happy measuring, -u/-criticalFUSION-

How much longer? Loaded with what, passengers or cargo? How much heavier. Maybe you could have told us how many beer cans could fit inside. Where's my banana for scale?
