Ahhh yes childhood memories…

(I was a dumb child, I thought it would become a maple-flavored tea)

To hell with “political violence is always bad”, I want to use all these tar and feathers I’ve been hoarding!! /s

I wish I could up-vote more than once…

In a similar vein, Evelyn Wang from Everything Everywhere All At Once… She may not start out badass, but oh boy does that change

It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:

They are. Which is why these people go for FWB…if they can even get that

You know, I had never noticed this correlation until you brought it up, but it's kind of sad how accurate it is…

It's funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk…never thought I'd see this day in the US!

As someone who really only went on Reddit for memes and techie discussions, I think I can say this: for my use-case, there was nothing special about Reddit itself. In fact, one thing I have realized is just how little the nature of the host matters beyond ease of use. Sure, certain formats lend themselves better to certain use-cases, but ultimately humans are social creatures, and even in the most inconvenient of circumstances, we find a way to make it work.

And once you realize that, it becomes less about the medium, and more about the people who lead the discourse. From what I can gather, Reddit lost that discourse a long time ago. And as such, their downfall was only a matter of time.
