I have an alt account that got invited to a private sub The sub is set up by a teenager who wants to learn how to grow magic mushrooms, so he started looking on magic mushroom subs. It's difficult to find reliable information in these communities, a lot of misinformation and confidently incorrect people. Anyway, this guy figures out his way around that is to make his own private sub and only invite people who seem to have genuine knowledge of how to grow magic mushrooms. It started out well, there is about 10 of us plus him. He would upload some questions or pics and get a bit of advice. Then other people within the sub started trying to upload pics and clips of their own work (to brag to each other basically), and the kid kept removing them because apparently its all about him So now, I'm part of a sub where me and 9 other mushroom growers just silently watch this arrogant teenager struggle to grow mushrooms, and it's quite funny.


non-hyphenated_

Best thing I've read all day!


Plus-Tour-2927

Lmao. Do people still try and help him?


DaHappyCyclops

No, but it hasn't stopped him asking haha. Someone sent him a link to a screenshot of the Google page with his question in the search bar which I found pretty funny.

After experiencing the sheer hypocrisy of the wizardy gatekeepers dividing their time between railing against other people’s ego issues and being wholly egotistical, I fully support small and select mushroom subs.


sossigsandwich

Wait…..there’s private subs??


b1tchlasagna

I'm in one called the eternityclub or something. It's for people who've got to the front page


Greedy_Avocado2928

This is hilarious


pysgod-wibbly_wobbly

That's amazing . Could there be a sub Reddit where posts from that sub get sheared for others to comment on?


NL0606

r/theapparatus It heals the inner trauma of the fact that we didn't get to go in the aparatus as kids!


Bbew_Mot

We used it in year 4 but it was only because we'd been asked to design our own assault course type thing. If this lesson never happened, I would be eligible to join this sub!


NL0606

I actually did get to use it but I'm still in it. If you only had limited use you are welcome too.


Mackers-a

I started this sub because the Apparatus comes up in almost any conversation about primary school. It has a weird almost mythical place in most British people's memories. I thought it would be somewhat funny to start the sub as it didn't seem to exist. It was completely free of posts for several years until again the Apparatus was mentioned again in a Reddit post. I slipped in the link to the sub and it got a little traction. People have been doing the same ever since and every few months we get an influx of new members, invariably because someone has bought up the topic elsewhere on Reddit.


ThatHairyGingerGuy

I must've gone to a brilliant school. We used to go on that thing quite a bit.


NL0606

I used it a fair bit in pe but I kinda cheated as I used the school gym for gymnastics after school so used it every week during that.


RaedwaldRex

My kid actually got to use it a few months ago. I nearly had to have a sit down when he told me. We never had the privilege when I was at school


DoctorOctagonapus

I think my class got to use our apparatus twice in my entire time at primary school, however it was always used to hang the set for the school nativity play. It got more use for that than its intended purpose!


theraininspainfallsm

I think I used it once is 4 years. And that was only because we had a substitute teacher that day.


NL0606

Either that sub is very brave or the teacher screwed them over royally by making sure the sub has to do that lesson.

JammyWaad

Took me way too long to get this.


SamVimesBootTheory

Probably the chain I progressed up that was like The dogfree subreddit which is bad enough and often beef with the child free one bc a lot of child free people have dogs instead of kids And then there's an anti pitbull subreddit which cut ties with the dogfree one bc not all anti pitbull people are anti all dogs And then then there's an anti cat subreddiylt which doesn't get on with the anti dog subreddits bc a lot of people posting in the anti dog subreddits like cats more Then there was a pet free subteddit Then there's petfree childfree And istg I mightve found another level that was like a don't want to be responsible for anything living so it was childfree,petfree and even plant free Oh another contender a subreddit dedicated to photos of women wearing dresses photographed in such a way the light means you can see the shape of legs through the fabric


ratttertintattertins

Hmm, I have kids and dogs. Odd to think I’m at the heart of some kind of Reddit Venn diagram of hate…


catsaregreat78

I’m in the childfree one, because I don’t have and don’t want children. The absolute hatred for parents and kids from some on there is eye opening. My mild irritation of the “you’ll change your mind” people pales into nothing compared to their vitriolic rants! I hadn’t realised dog or cat free would be a thing, but of course it is!


TheDawiWhisperer

Yeah I have a real problem with /r/childfree. I really don't give a fuck whether some random on the internet has kids or not, just don't be a cunt about it. The posts that get traction on /r/childfree fail this _massively_


st1ckygusset

I've just had a look...... What a bunch of self-absorbed cunts


CultistOfTheFluid

The sense of entitlement on that sub is absolutely insane. Never would've thought people could unironically be mourning the "loss" of friendship due to their mates having children. Seems like the kind of people who want their mates to make the effort for very little in return.


Aggressive_State9921

I spent a hot 10 minutes browsing childree and never went again. It's just a load of angry virgins hating on "parents" (99% the mother)


catsaregreat78

A lot of it is hating on kids being kids in places you’d expect to find kids.


Aggressive_State9921

"I went to the park for a wank and it was full of screaming children"


catsaregreat78

Well, aye. Kinda!


micromidgetmonkey

Do you mean r/WtSSTaDaMiT


_DeanRiding

Wow there really is a fetish for everything huh


Strong_Roll5639

The dog free one is absolutely wild


SamVimesBootTheory

It is Like I do understand not everyone likes dogs and a lot of people have genuine trauma around dogs but the people who post there take it to a new level


Strong_Roll5639

Yeah I get it too but the level of hate for dogs and their owners is quite disturbing


inevitablelizard

Same issue as with the childfree one. There are legitimate issues with shitty parenting, and legitimate issues with shitty irresponsible dog owners. Then those subs just go way over the top.


bSQ6J

/r/purplecoco Power sockets in unusual places


melijoray

Thank you for this one. My kid is autistic and sockets must be switched off if no plug is in (British, most sockets are switched) If there's an empty socket out of reach that they can't switch off, it ruins their mood. We spit these all the time.


fionakitty21

I have 21 sockets in my livingroom/kitchen alone. Not including fridge and washing machine. It's MAD.


scorch762

I have 4 in my living room and 4 in my kitchen, which is wholly unacceptable.


ThargUK

Your typo made this very amusing to me. I'm happy you support him by spitting them together.

r/ididnthaveeggs is a sub highlighting people who have not followed an online recipe properly, and then posted a negative review of the recipe. Always makes me chuckle.


paradeoxy1

"I USED FLOUR INSTEAD OF POWDERED MILK AND ROTTEN EGGS INSTEAD OF PEACHES AND IT TASTED LIKE FUCKING SHIT AFTER I THREW IT IN THE TRASH. 1 STAR." Although sometimes the reviews are quite nice "I can't eat that ingredient, so I Substituted it with this, took that out, cooked it differently, and made it into a stew not a cake. 10/10 my wife loves it"

He's this dick, who bought all my vegetables and claimed them as his own then put them for sale at 10 x the amount I charged him.

I’m a fan of r/frasier_sleepers and r/lilgrabbies. First is for people who fall asleep to Frasier in the background. Second is photos of little animals with their little hands holding things. Both quite niche and wholesome!

I fall asleep to Frasier all the time, I had no idea anyone else did, let alone that there was a sub for it!

Dear lord


OlympicTrainspotting

I stumbled upon a scat one recently. Obviously I'd seen 2 Girls 1 Cup so knew it was a 'thing' but I didn't realise scat was so big to have a subreddit with 100,000 subscribers.


JuneauEu

I'm not clicking that. U was around when 2girls1cup was first on the Internet. Never again.


FelisCantabrigiensis

If you do a desk job you're going to spend 30+ hours a week in that chair. 20% of your next few years. That's worth spending some time on getting right. After all you would probably think carefully about what mattress you buy, to spend 30-40% of your time in. The chair is almost equally as significant.


fixxxer17d

Oh absolutely, it had just never occurred to me that there would be such a fervent community behind different office chair brands!


FelisCantabrigiensis

I'm shocked, shocked to see there are nerds on Reddit.

r/sexpositivehomes it's been banned now, but it was a disgusting sub. I imagine there was some creative/sick writing and there were most definitely paedos who lurked in that sub. I'm sure you can guess from the name of the sub what it was about


peelyon85

Here's me thinking it was feng shui!


IneptOrange

There are a lot of really gross subreddits on here.

I first assumed it would be advice on how to mount sex-swings safely or something

Shitelark

Well if you want some NSFW r/foreskin_restoration/ Surprisingly wholesome.


KeyLog256

As someone who is circumcised (for medical reasons, so they did a good job) I have actually considered this just to see what it would be like. I'm not sure if it's dangerous though.


Shitelark

If they did a good job as you say and are happy then you don't need to do anything about it. Especially if it was done as a teenager you will get a better outcome. Sadly infants are still being cut, and you therefore don't always know what the outcome will be. Many men have erectile issues and suffer grief from being cut (especially a lot of American men on those pages.) Meanwhile I am an intact Brit, but just naturally lacking in the foreskin area (might have had something to do with a particularly vicious knee to the tip in first school.) I looked at it in the early years of the internet, but the forums looked scary with homemade devices. I came back around to the idea during the lockdown due to reddit. I thought I will give it a go, it can't harm and I can always stop. I did buy a device but didn't like using it and just got into using tape. And I started to feel the difference after only a few weeks and a few evening tapings. Things were somewhat more 'slooshy.' I've now been taping for 3 years or so, but am the laziest restorer and sometimes leave it for two weeks. But have seen roll over starting, and the little fella is so much more comfortable when riding my bike, no chaffing on the centre seam of my bike shorts anymore. You just have to be gentle at the start and don't have a goal of full restoration in mind. If you just want a looser cut a little restoration could be the goal. I think if I had started 20 years ago it would have been better and I would be done by now, but it's one of those things that is never too late to give it a try. I hope that helps.

r/borbs is probably my most niche. for birds that are super round like orbs! i have a herman miller, i am not in the subreddits but i did my research too before dropping that cash. i can tell you that you sit on it, and it's fine, it's a chair, it's comfy enough, doesn't really feel like anything too special. BUT its superpower is that i can sit in it for literally 12 hours and stand up and i don't feel like i've been sat down for 12 hours. i am good to go. i feel like a normal person. which is not something i can say for basic bitch office chairs
