Reddit is a singular website

These people are nuts

I will be honest with you: I have not always been the biggest fan of Reddit. When I was a teenager, I wrote it off as a place where nothing good happens. I thought that Reddit and 4chan had the same user base, and I wanted nothing to do with that kind of person. In college, I learned that Reddit could be an excellent tool for advertising things around campus. I even got in some beef with some dudes on my university subreddit for promoting my comedy group's show Catholic: The Musical.' Some midw…

Reddit is not the enemy

Regular dogs do not belong everywhere. I was riding an incredibly crowded subway this weekend, and a pug was sitting in one of the seats. While the dog's presence amused some subway riders, I was slightly annoyed. Why the owner couldn't put the pug on her lap so somebody else could sit down, I don't know. There is a clear exception to this rule, and that is service animals . Service animals are essential to the people they serve and are allowed in any business or public place by law. The import…

Reddit has a mediocre reputation depending on who you ask. So many non-Redditors believe it's an absolute cesspool of the worst people with the worst opinions imaginable. I myself believed that before I made my account. I had little to no faith that the website all of my friend's boyfriends were obsessed with would be a fulfilling experience. Those who've never taken a dip into the waters of Reddit themselves need to know that it's just like any social media. When you're a Redditor, you need to…

How does one kill that which has no life?

One of the hallmark hobbies of tweens is earnest creative writing. For some, they do so on places like fanfiction.net or Wattpad, where they can ship Drarry to their heart's content! Others try to write the Great American Novel, typing away at a word document that will probably never even be self-published on Amazon. Horror stories are their bread and butter for the edgier tweens of the world. So many of the most famous horror stories from Creepypasta were probably written by somebody no older…

A guilty pleasure not many of us are ready to admit we have.

Have you all heard the drama regarding Elon Musk firing programmers at Twitter? It is honestly so stupid I couldn't even believe what I was reading. For legal reasons, this is all alleged, but ALLEGEDLY, Elon Musk has ranked the programmers at Twitter based on the number of lines of code they wrote in the past year and fired those at the bottom of that list. So basically, Musk fired all of the programmers who fixed the buggy code and kept all of the programmers who wrote said buggy code. Such m…

This year for Halloween, there are so many ways to dress up as programming concepts. Of course, you could take the easy way out and just dress like a programmer. Get some sweatpants on, put some black makeup under your eyes to make you look even more tired, and you're good to go. You could also go as a 404 error . Wear a white T-Shirt and write “Error 404 Costume Not Found” on it. You could even go as some of the most famous programmers in history. A Steve Jobs costume is classic and perfect fo…

Having a knack for computers is one of the most valuable skills someone can possess. Many people want to be programmers , but only a tiny elite group can actually pull it off successfully. A lot of wannabees think that since they changed their Tumblr theme with HTML in 2012 they can do this extremely difficult job. Coding takes hundreds of hours of your life but when a project is finally complete, it's the greatest feeling in the world. Programmers and coders are also well known for being able…

The internet was so much simpler when everyone labeled anything slightly non-normative as “cursed.” Any image that did not depict the most normie, understandable, easily graspable concept was designed an affront to God or some kind of spooky

Reddit has a mediocre reputation depending on who you ask. So many non-Redditors believe it's an absolute cesspool of the worst people with the worst opinions imaginable. I myself believed that before I made my account. Those who've never taken a dip into the waters of Reddit themselves need to know that it's just like any social media in that you need to curate your feed. Facebook, Twitter, TikTok: every one of these places can be either a pleasant walk in the park or hell on earth, depending…

Good day, programmers . Today is Sunday, which hopefully means you're only looking at programming memes and not doing any actual programming today. After all, it's essential to have a healthy work-life balance. But I know as well as anyone that sometimes, work has to come before life. When you have something necessary and time-consuming to do, the workday is often not long enough. It's a sad reality, and we all find different ways to deal with it. Suppose you're reading this during the workweek…

Weddings…a time of love and romance, not drama, chaos, madness, confusion, and betrayal, right? It's not an easy task for getting hitched to go off without a hitch. Some weddings are plagued with bridezillas who try to control their guests in a demanding and inconsiderate way. However, this goes two ways, and sometimes reasonable requests made by the wedding party are ignored by selfish and rude individuals, ruining the wedding for the couple. The latter is true for Redditor u/babyweddingthrowa…
