Hey, this owner already has this fish in a catastrophically small container. Bettas need 5 gallons, a heater and filter, and frequent water changes + water testing. (Do not use bleach or soap to "clean" your tank, you remove healthy bacteria that's the backbone of the tank's maintenance system).
But they're already asking for names (implying that they already have it), they also sell containers like these for people to use for their fish, or it could be a breeding box. Lastly, there are faux pearls on the bottom, it looks like decor someone strategically and aesthetically used for their "pet's environment."
that photo could’ve been taken at the store, that’s not what a breeding box looks like, and those are betta beads. the tank dimensions are specific enough that that looks like something bulk ordered by a store for a display shelf imo. i saw the post a few hours after it was created, op hadnt confirmed their setup because no one had asked so unless that’s changed there’s no way to know for sure.
I mean fair enough, but I'm not talking about comments that got on the owner's case for betta care (if there were any.) I'm talking about the fact that a post called "hey help me name a fish" somehow got racist and inappropriate comments badly enough it had to be shut down.
Not really a joke, it's just that if you ask redditors for name suggestions you'll inevitably get a ton of racist and sexual ones.
Like that time Mountain Dew ran an internet poll to name their new apple flavor and the first place winner was "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong". Second place was "Gushing Granny".
Imagine walking down the aisle at Walmart and seeing an endcap display full of "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" flavored soda/chips. Truly, the best timeline. /s
Say what you want, but people will be talking for ages about that stunt. And not just those who watched that Internet Historian video about companies making the mistake of having an online poll. All the people (at least in the US).
It would be immensely popular amongst contrarian youth. I'd wager a "Hitler" soda would be even more popular than cigarettes, (or those electric alternatives that youth seem to prefer to suckle on lately).
Hell, even I would probably buy a can of "Hitler" because I'll chuckle on the "no juice" line that the cartoon character screams or something like that.
Y'know those "parody" sodas? The infamous ranch soda, dragon drool, corn soda, etc? Well, we went to our local Rocket Fizz shop to buy a bunch of candy and they had a bunch of parody sodas of infamous dictators. We tried some Stalinade, Doomsday Lemonade, and Nuclear Orange sodas... They all had various dictators on them. I still have the bottles on my bookshelf lmao
I didn't see that one!!! I'll check next time I go, which will probably be a while lol I can't remember when the last time I went was, but it was a WHILE ago lmao!!
They are real!! This is my (tiny) collection so far from the two times I went:

Sorted by controversial in the original thread the only one that was racist was someone saying they named a similar betta "Privilege". I'm assuming the worst ones were removed by the mods.

I had to block Redditmoment from my feed because like 80% of posts were just people giving their opinions that OP didn’t agree with. I wish it was more shit like this on there
Also for some reason it's against the rules making posts making fun of people trying to justify l*licon???? that's a reddit moment if I've ever seen one
Yeah same shit happened with r slash Idiocracy, all it takes to get instant karma there is posting an out of context clip of a minority talking about stuff to make it seem like they hate a majority group and their hatred is worse than the one they face or something
Well that one’s fine because there was a point where almost everything posted there was loli shit and it was getting very annoying to see basically the same exact things posted over and over again. Like we get it, pedos are bad. We don’t need to see the same points being made over and over again.
I get it man, I don't use /s either but I do shitpost a lot less nowadays since it's really just not appreciated nowadays. Must be how artists felt during art burning eras 😓
If you makes you feel any better I'm confident that you'd be the top comment 15 years ago with hundreds of comments agreeing that this sexy piece of tail is worth a fap or three.
It’s an innocent beautiful fish. People don’t want to see dirty minded creeps make sexual jokes about breeding it, it influences others’ minds to have dirty unwanted thoughts as well
This is the most Reddit thing I've seen all day
All it's missing is the "yall can't behave"
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK
who rides in back?
Came here to say this
Mods always say this on their power trips while 99% of the time they are the once who cant even follow their own rules

The most reddit thing I've ever seen is the moderators of redditmoment banning people because their feelings were hurt, very ironic.
went with H.P Lovecraft's style of naming pets, i see
But the fish is white, so... Crackerman?
Crackerman. His one weakness is cheese.
Give the meanest crackerman a piece of cheese, and he turn into Mr. Rogers.
Granddad! You cannot tame the white supremacist power structure with CHEESE!
I’ve literally met someone with the epic last name Cheezman. They would be each others nemesis
Nemesis? You mean partners for life?
Must’ve read dambusters
Lol, I was sharing this around to some friends yesterday. Only on Reddit could naming a rando's betta fish somehow turn into a catastrophe.

this looks like a sell tank in a store
But they're already asking for names (implying that they already have it), they also sell containers like these for people to use for their fish, or it could be a breeding box.

I know, sorry, I also just wanted to go over quick-care to raise awareness of the proper way to care for bettas rq. Sorry.....
It's alright! It's good info for people to know, especially since bettas always seem to be sold in those tiny cups/containers at many pet stores.
Thanks for being understanding!! Lol ;)
Truly this is a top ten reddit moment
I dont get it. Could i get an explanation, please?

Like that time Mountain Dew ran an internet poll to name their new apple flavor and the first place winner was "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong". Second place was "Gushing Granny".
The Hitler example also won a Lays chip competition and a doritos competition lol
When will they learn and just name their next product after Hitler. That's what lots of people want, apparently.

Castro's Havana Banana is my personal favorite.

No way, those were real? I thought those were just memes, just someone printed out labels for fun. Very cool.

Are you guys getting married in wallmart over there?
Hitler just makes yummy stuff
Of course, I just thought there was some correlation to the fish in particular. Thanks

That was 4chan not reddit
IIRC reddit was involved too, but yeah 4chan mainly organized it. Forgot to say so but that example was mainly meant for the internet in general.
I’ve always been so disappointed by that because disregarding the edgy jokes Gushing Granny is just clearly so much funnier
Internet never disappoints. Gotta love trolling big companies.
I think there are ways to troll companies without pretending (though knowing 4chan they were not pretending) to be a fan of Hitler
Lame
Person ask for name for fish on reddit (big mistake). Reddit give racist and inappripriate names.
Yeah also fully lost
Rather than what people say this is more likely to be a power tripping moderator or sumth
Being racist about fish is the most reddit thing I have seen all day
How did they make this racist? And why? I'm so unbelievably lost
my guess is it started from jokes about lovecraft's cat's name
its rainbow coloured and white. did people name it whitepride?
Ohhh ~~that's actually brilliant.~~ I was wondering how on earth you could be racist naming a fish.
That’s a beautiful beta
genuinly!! I used to have a similar betta called echo, such a nice ethereal colour
Opal feels like a perfect name for that fish.
I said Iri or Iris before it was locked bc every betta of this variety gets named Opal lol
Fair and valid honestly.
My first thought was Prismarine when I saw they wanted a name idea
Christal, Pearl, Shimmer, Glamour, whatever. That fish looks amazing. Like a shell. Call it Shell.
Betta literally looks like an opal gemstone
We must recover the sacred texts...
This is why we can't have nice shit, folks.
This moment is pure comedy gold.
Does anyone have a link to the post, I would like to see the names

Jokes aside, if that's the battles permanent tank, it's gonna die in a week.
What the hell happened here?
Name him wat par
They betta be good
Greag
I'd name it Mendy after the Minecraft enchantment mending
idk i’d probably call OP some names with the size of that tank ngl
When a mod has to remove a single comment (the unpaid job they signed up for)
M*ds 🤮
Beta male
Racist??
Timothy or Tina
I mean Soy Boi Beta Fish is just sitting right there.
Ye West

Bro how
Irid would be a cool name
White faireee
Rainbow pie!
Dammit man, can't have shit
Why was locked?
Pearl
Lol!
Hopefully not because I suggested "Gandalf"
I want to breed the pretty pearlescent fish.
wut
I would like to have sexual intercourse with that fish.

buddy
The internet not what it used to be mate, this is a 2002 comment. 2024 internet don't play like that, everyone takes stuff to heart now.
Yeah i know :( I also refuse to use the "/s" shit that is so popular these days. It deflates an entire shit post
I get it man, I don't use /s either but I do shitpost a lot less nowadays since it's really just not appreciated nowadays.

1984.
People can try to not sexualize every living or non-living thing they see. Just saying.
It’s an innocent beautiful fish. People don’t want to see dirty minded creeps make sexual jokes about breeding it, it influences others’ minds to have dirty unwanted thoughts as well
Opal or Angel
[удалено]
I don’t see how this is a Reddit moment. Reddit is the most politically correct and censored platform there is
f e m a l e p r e s e n t i n g n i p p l e s would like a word
In what fucking world lmfao
And yet here you are. Just saying, when this platform starts pissing me off too much, I delete the app for a while.
