/r/HuskyTantrums

270,451 subscribers for 4 years!

*(Just a warning, you'll probably want to turn your headphones down if you look through the linked posts in this feature.)

Huskies are the most dramatic dogs out there. They have a lot to say and they will yell at you until you get the message. It's a good thing their main concerns are food, avoiding baths, and getting to sleep on the sofa, because they could probably destroy civilization if they tried. But for now they're content with being maximally sassy and deafening. They love to argue and protest as theatrically as possible. Not all husky tantrums are loud - their silent protests are almost worse than the screeching.

/r/HuskyTantrums is a place for videos of huskies doing what they do best, and hopefully I've provided enough examples already to get you to subscribe! This is easily one of the best animal subs I've found in recent months, informing everyone about the things that husky owners have known for years: That they're stupid loud, stupid stupid, and dramatic as heck. Still love them though!

I'm going to be completely honest with you, the reader of SROTD. This Subreddit is morbid and deals with the inevitable topic of death in very gruesome ways. Life has a beginning, and many times it has an unfortunate end. Whether it's innocent children dying by their family's hand (gore warning), freak accidents (NSFL: Head missing brain) or the the aftermath of a couple being gunned down (it's a bloody piece of work) there is no shortage of crimes that either go left unpunished.

As despicable as it may seem, /r/CrimeScene documents each of these cases. Some, for the benefit of solving the case, or just as a view of what happens after a crime is committed. It's not pretty, it's never meant to be pretty. It's meant to be a reminder of the cruelty of people, and the inevitability of death. It's not shock value, for the sake of shock value. It's meant only to document. What lessons, or conclusions, people draw from the documentation is their own interpretation, and should be treated as such.

In essence, /r/CrimeScene isn't /r/WatchPeopleDie (which got banned). It's 'what happens to them, after they're dead'?

Truly, this subreddit is for those who have an interest in the human anatomy, and sometimes for those studying criminal psychology, because the reddit (contains nudity and dismemberment) albums (caution: gore) that are contained within the sub are all too real. Sometimes, it's not simply just murders, but suicides as well; the disturbed people who were forced to take their own lives is documented just as ghastly as the other victims... and it will haunt you to your core. You may also get the occasional freak accident too.

This subreddit, however, is not for the faint hearted. You will see real death. You will see human blood. You will see decay. You will not enjoy it. This subreddit is <always> classified Not Safe for Work, but for many, it's Not Safe for Life. Take care to spend little time there, if you wish to retain your sanity.

/r/dogs_getting_dogs

135,444 subscribers for 6 years!

An pet's visible excitement is infectious - Seeing my dog excited about something makes me excited as well. Additionally, getting a pet is an incredibly nice moment for anyone. One can only imagine the excitement a dog would feel if they got a brand new friend to play with, a dog getting a dog, if you would.

...

...

Hey, wait a second!

/r/dogs_getting_dogs is exactly what you'd expect: It's animals (not just dogs!) meeting the newest animal members of their family. That their owners got specifically for them to play with, of course. And as you can expect, it's freaking adorable every time.. I don't think anyone could watch this excitement and not feel at least a little heartwarmed.

Well, sometimes excitement may not be the correct description, but... Well I'm sure they all become friends anyways.

This is still my favourite gif on the internet. I need you all to watch it as many times as I have.

I don't think there's much else that needs to be said. This subreddit was last featured on SRotD nearly 6 years ago now, and in that time has shot from 9,000 subscribers to well over 100,000. And I'm glad it has, because of all the brilliant animal subs on this site, /r/dogs_getting_dogs may just be my favourite.

/r/GlobalOffensive

2,157,054 players Globally Offended for 12 Years

Back when this subreddit was created that mighty 12 years ago, /r/GlobalOffensive <did> actually revolve around Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It was a mighty different world then, the PP-Bizon, MP7, Nova and Negev were new to the series. No one had even heard of the R8 Revolver, and the eSports community was still just on the rise.

Hell, the game got so popular that TBS, the <television channel> hosted their own league. And Arby's, the fast food chain, created a whole series of commercials around Counter-Strike. The community, unsurprisingly, loved the living daylights out of it.

Now, the subreddit isn't even about Global Offensive anymore, as the game was retired just last year for Counter-Strike 2 (basically Global Offensive on the Source 2 engine with some slick refinements).

Still, the sub is as strong now as it was those twelve years ago. Esports top the front page, the community dunks on the lady gamers, and beneath everything, you can still find something neat if none of the above interests you.

You could be a part of all this too, you know. The game is free, of course. So, if you have a decent enough PC, join in on the fun and start sharing your memes, eSports dreams and hot-shot clips.

Edit: I finally got the chance to hear from the /r/GlobalOffensive mods! Better late than never, I always say. While the message wasn't specific on who it was from, I consider it just from the mod team in general.

Tell me a bit more about yourself, how long have you been playing?

Our team members have been playing this game for various amounts of years. While we haven't found out the exact numbers, it's safe to say that most of us are hovering around the 10 year mark while others joined the community in the early days of Counter-Strike around 1999 (one of our team members got the 10 year badge in-game the day this was written, in fact.) Some of our team is more interested in the esports side of Counter-Strike, while others are consistently online attempting to be the best player in the server, but one thing is consistent with all of us-- our love for the game.

To touch on our team- we view ourselves as members of the community first and foremost. Throughout the years we have strived to build this community with quality of content in mind. Through trial and error, and with constant feedback from the community, we've tried to shape r/GlobalOffensive to be a place where everyone is free to participate in meaningful and quality discussions. Understanding the game as individuals is important to this goal as we all come together with different perspectives on issues that are brought forward to discuss. This allows us to better reflect on different parts of the community that one individual might not see until it's brought to their attention. While we strive to make our subreddit the best place for the Counter-Strike community, we wouldn't be able to do it without the help of the people in said community.

With CSGO's transition into CS2, was this sub ever planned to be retired and replaced with a /r/CounterStrike2 for example?

Recently, we had a 2+ Million subscriber celebration. In that post we highlighted the issue of the name change in which we announced we would not be changing the handle for r/GlobalOffensive. We ultimately made the decision to keep the name as is to preserve the history of the subreddit, and to keep our community familiar with the subreddit that some have been coming to daily for many years. While we made this decision, we're open to reconsidering this in the future if that conversation arises again.

The sub has been primarily a hub for esports, and it takes up a majority of the sub, is this typical?

This is a common misconception that isn't actually true. While it's undeniable that the subreddit holds a significant presence as one of the largest communities and hubs for the Counter-Strike esports scene, historically, we've seen that the majority of the posts are not related to esports. We took a closer look at recent statistics, which reveal a more balanced landscape. As of writing this answer, 76% of the last 1,000 posts have been about Counter-Strike in general, and only 24% are related to esports. It's rare that esports posts take up the majority of the sub, and this usually only happens during large tournaments (such as Valve-sponsored majors), where the excitement naturally amplifies. The rest of the time, and especially since the release of Counter-Strike 2, most of the posts are general discussion about the game and not related to esports. We ran some different stats to check if it's possible that people see esports posts more often because they get upvoted more than regular posts, but that's not the case either. Looking at the frontpage as of writing this answer, 32% of the top 25 posts are related to esports. We do work hard to make sure posts relating to esports are flaired appropriately, and this lets users filter out esports-related content if they don't want to see them (via flair filters available on the subreddit).

The subreddit serves as a home for the entire Counter-Strike community -- we see many posts from casual players seeking help improving, posts giving suggestions and feedback for the game, artists submitting user generated content in many forms, and people posting awesome gameplay clips from their recent games. All this is not to say that we don't enjoy the esports side of the subreddit. Being one of the definitive sources for information in the Counter-Strike community, a lot of the esports fans search out the latest news and match results via the subreddit. We've been lucky enough to host several AMAs from professional players to talent of various positions in the esports scene that has been some big hits with our community. r/GlobalOffensive is a place for everything Counter-Strike, and whether it's sharing an awesome gameplay clip or discussing the latest professional match, we welcome all of it with open arms.

Any favorite moments from CSGO's history for you?

As mentioned above we recently celebrated our 2 million subscriber mark and in that post we actually highlighted some of the big moments in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive era that were proud moments for our subreddit. We've seen some of the game changing updates such as the Arms Deal update which introduced new skins into the game, to watching North America's underdog team named Cloud9 winning a Valve sponsored Major title on home soil, and most recently with the release of CS2 which we consider a big moment in the history of CS:GO as it marked the passing of the torch from one era to another.

####/r/Greyhounds

76,383 needle noses zooming for 12 years!

Greyhounds are my favourite breed of dog. They're nicknamed the "40 mph couch potato" for good reason: they may be the fastest breed of dog but their stamina isn't the best, and some greyhounds will gladly spend 20 hours a day sleeping. Greyhounds are typically some of the most gentle and laid-back dogs and have relatively low activity demands, making them ideal for adoption after they retire from the racing industry. I’ve had two greyhounds, both retired from racing. I had always been incredibly scared of dogs throughout my childhood, until I first interacted with a greyhound, and their gentle-giant-ness made my fear of dogs go away. Soon after, my family adopted our first greyhound, Grace, when she was about six. My second greyhound was Summer, who sadly passed away about a year and a half back at the age of five.

And here's where /r/Greyhounds comes in! When I had a hound to call my own, I would always love posting pictures of them & seeing the responses. These days, I love seeing what other greyhounds on the subreddit are up to! Greyhounds can look incredibly majestic one minute then incredibly derpy the next, and doing both in their own weirdly photogenic ways. The subreddit has funny pictures, videos of course (I'll particularly recommend this one), and some great discussions in the comments. It also hosts a great wiki with an FAQ, resources that can direct you towards rescue agencies in your country, and busting myths about greyhounds. If any of this sounds like it's up your alley, go give the subreddit (or as the wiki calls it - the Greyddit) a visit!

To talk some more about the subreddit and its community, here's an interview with the creator of /r/Greyhounds, /u/rrcjab!

1. Why did you create the subreddit?

/u/rrcjab I had adopted 2 greyhounds over the course of 10 years and had been using reddit for about 5 years. I noticed that every other popular breed had their own subreddit, so I thought - hey, I’d really like to see more pictures of greyhouds! Also, greyhounds have some unique characteristics because of their history and breeding and it’s hard to get good advice from people who are not familiar with the breed.

2. What is it about greyhounds that makes them special to you?

/u/rrcjab What makes Greyhounds really cool in one respect is that they are one of the oldest recorded breeds in history. We see pictures of them in the pyramids, stories about them in ancient roman texts, and some people even say they are the only dog mentioned in the bible (this is debated).

However, what makes them truly special is how they can be so incredibly regal one minute and then in the next they’re snoring on their backs with all four legs in the air and their tongue derping out of their mouths. One unique characteristic is that most greyhounds never bark, but “roo” instead. They also have the softest coats and altnough they are a bit shy at first, they quickly grow to be the best snugglers. Despite loving their “zoomies” at full-speed, they spend most of the day curled up or stretched out on the sofa, ready at a moment’s notice for some scritches or peanut butter. Overall, greyhounds are the calmest, sweetest, derpiest breed I’ve ever known.

3. Do you have any favourite subreddit posts?

/u/rrcjab There was a beautiful hound named “Mia” that sort of became the unofficial mascot of the subreddit for a while. She was a real princess and her owner posted dozens of pictures over the years. She unfortunately passed over the rainbow bridge this year and we all miss her. https://www.reddit.com/r/Greyhounds/search/?q=mia&restrict_sr=1

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

/u/rrcjab Greyhounds are a wonderful breed that suit a lot of lifestyles and are generally low-maintenance. There are hundreds of dogs retiring from racetracks every year who are looking for their forever home. If you’d like to learn more about the breed or just check out some great stories and pictures, visit us at /r/greyhounds!

Here is a taste of what you can find on /r/Greyhounds:

1. I am losing my mind at this photo of my greyhound (2024 upvotes, 50 comments)
2. A Greyhound has entered the beach (3593 upvotes, 173 comments)
3. Swipe to do stretchy stretch (509 upvotes, 28 comments)

/r/FoxholeGame

66,570 soldiers fighting over dev bias for 7 Years

The nation of Caoiva is rife with conflict. Day in and day out, a persistent war is fought for control. On one side, the Mesean Colonial Legion (or Colonials for short), and on the other, the Caovish Wardens (or just the Wardens to their friends).

These two factions commit to an all out persistent war in Foxhole, the massive multiplayer isometric war game where 90% of everything is man-made. See that base? Made by a regiment. Your weapons? Regiment made'em. Those tanks? That battleship? Yup, someone slaved away for it.

The Foxhole subreddit is an open discussion space where you can read about devman bias, share maps about the current status of the war(though this one is a tad out of date) or even share memes and propaganda art.

The frontline always needs fresh meat for the grinder, as well as logi man to slave away making those rifles and scroop for materials. So, consider picking up a copy of the game and stop by the sub and show your commitment to the war effort.

You can pick it up on Steam during the remainder of the Winter Sale, or of course pick it up on your own time.

/r/OooBigStretch

Who doesn't love a big stretch, the kind that cracks all your joints and feels a bit like you've grown an inch after? It's the best thing ever after just getting up, and that feeling is evidently not one limited to humans, as this sub demonstrates.

/r/OooBigStretch is a sub for gifs and images of animals doing the BIG stretch. Like this cat, or this cat, or this cat, or this thing that isn't a cat! Don't think there's much else that needs said honestly, I would hope that at this point you've already thrown this sub into the dozens of animal gif subs you're subscribed to (or that you should be subscribed to ಠ_ಠ)!

/r/SubredditoftheDay

1,115,002 Explorers for 12 years!

Yep, we're back.

So, how are things? It's been a difficult few years for everyone, I hope that you're all getting by or better, and if you're not then I hope the new year will bring a new wind.

If you're unaware, SRotD died. It's had periods of waxing and waning before, a few times where it's gone mostly inactive, but this time it petered out entirely. No more posts, no modteam communication (there was nothing to say really), the sub blew through it's 10th anniversary (a full decade of SRotD!)... Without even a post. The bot was taken offline, eventually the sub was taken private, and /r/SubredditoftheDay closed its doors circa September 2021.

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering just what on earth happened to this sub? Short answer, mod burnout, keeping the sub going became extremely high effort with almost no reward, and a slow but steady decline had already been happening for years. Long answer, read this comment.

But this isn't the time for thinking about the past. It's a new year, with new possibilities, and we're very happy to be back! We've missed a lot over the past 2 years, and we're excited to be shining a light on all of the coolest, highest quality subs that have popped up in our absence.

Normally on New Year's Day we would feature ourselves and take the time to reflect on the previous year, what we did that year, and what we're going to do in the future. There's not much more to retrospect upon, so let me tell you all where the state of SRotD stands right now.

I'll answer a few questions that you may have here:

Is SRotD back for good?

With luck, yes. The problems we faced before haven't really gone away, and it's going to be an uphill battle against burnout and a constant fight for engagement. But our extended break has given us new energy and enthusiasm, and we plan to bring in as much new blood as needed to ensure that you're all receiving the best new subs and the best writeups possible. Because you deserve it.

Will more mods be getting added in the future?

Yep, look down below for more info!

How did you get your hair like that? It's brilliant!

Thanks! Mostly genetic lottery, but I really don't do too much to it; I use sulphate-free shampoo, slightly-more-than-the-cheapest conditioner, applied every 3-4 days. I don't normally use a hair dryer (I just sit next to the radiator for half an hour) but if you've got a fancy one that doesn't ruin your hair go for it!

What lies in the future for SRotD?

I don't know. The fundamental idea behind SRotD is antiquated; to quote my comment linked way above, "it's a relic of an older Reddit, one where new, unique subs were popping up daily, and the site wasn't tailored exclusively towards content aggregation." These days there simply aren't as many new subs with interesting concepts popping up, 90% of them are generic gif/image subs, which, I mean, isn't really anything that can have paragraphs written about it.

In an ideal world, all of our efforts will prove worthwhile, and people will come to this sub to look at all the cool stuff we exhibit. With Reddit gutting the Trending Subreddits feature, there are scant few places to actually discover new subs besides just trawling through /r/all and /r/popular, so perhaps we're coming back at just the right time! But I'm an optimist. Realistically, well, it all comes down to interest within the modteam, and interest from you, our treasured readers.

How can I help?

If you've made it this far down the post, that means you're probably literate and at least slightly interested in the sub, and that already makes you qualified to join our team!

We're currently looking for new writers, send us a message here if you'd be interested!

We require no prior mod experience, only that you're as enthusiastic about cool Reddit communities as we are! *

^(*(Warning: We are very enthusiastic - Non-enthusiasm will be punished with disintegration via plasma ray.)^)

Feels weird to be writing a feature again after all this time. I also made that cryptic post the other day that nobody saw or understood (it was a silmarillion reference cuz I'm a massive fucking nerd) but that's not the same.

Anyways, that's about all I've got, I hope we'll be a welcome presence on your home page, and I hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful year.

r/rucking

2990 ruck-fillers for 7 years!

*****

I recently interviewed the legendary u/Ser_SinAlot from r/rucking about life, COVID, blisters, heavy weights, rucksacks, safety, and long walks carrying heavy loads. I hope you all enjoy!

*****

Greetings and salutations exchanged

princesskeestrr: Lol, I hope that you knocked on a lot of wood. So, how has having COVID impacted your rucking hobby?

SerSinAlot: Well, I can't go out until next week. Then I'll start slow and work back up to usual.

princesskeestrr: What is your usual?

SerSinAlot: I usually run or ruck about 20-25km a week Adding in the occasional longer ruck or run

princesskeestrr: That is impressive. I actually fell into rucking accidentally myself. It started when I wanted to make my backyard less boring and I would hike down to our local creek, fill a backpack full of river rock, and haul it home. Then, either you or one of the other guys on your mod team joined / wellnessover 30 where I used to mod and I was like "wow, I exercise!" But it's only like half a mile each way.

SerSinAlot: That's one way to ruck.

princesskeestrr: I mean, it's close, right? Tell me how to do it right.

SerSinAlot: Rucking is just a military acronym from ruck marching Ruck is backpack and marching is walking. That's it.

princesskeestrr: I like the simplicity

SerSinAlot: Of course if you want fitness benefits you need to do longer rucks, but hey to each their own That's one the reasons people seem to come to our sub now. The bar of entry is so low and people usually have a backpack at home. No need for specialized gear to begin with

princesskeestrr: I have found that what I am doing works wonders for my lower back pain. How much weight do you typically add to your ruck?

SerSinAlot: It does. Carrying things on your back does wonders. I have about 10kg base weight. Then add water or whatever else I have. Most military rucks over here have the 10kg minimum, so that's what I train with

princesskeestrr: Yes, hydration is key. Shout out to my r/hydrohomies

SerSinAlot: That's one thing that easily is overlooked. While rucking you don't get as thirsty as say running Yet after a few hours you really feel it if you haven't been drinking. My rule is a gulp every km or so.

princesskeestrr: That has been my observation as well, am more likely to forget to drink than when I am playing soccer or something. Good rule, I like that.

SerSinAlot: When I do long>40km I also have a bag of mixed nuts and fruit. A handful every so often keeps the energy levels up Especially on multidays like Vierdaagse, you need to keep hydrated and energy supplied throughout the days

princesskeestrr: So, is that like a rucking event? Are there rucking events?!

SerSinAlot: Vierdgaagse is the biggest walking event in the world. There's like 40 something thousand participants Civilian series are 30k and 50k a day. Military is 40k with service uniform and min. 10kg ruck.

princesskeestrr: Well now I'm getting excited.

SerSinAlot: It's a huge thing in Holland. If you want to see something fun check out Blister of the day on facebook. They have some nice material.

princesskeestr: will do this, despite my reluctance to go on Facebook

SerSinAlot: I'm not on there neither, but I hear they post them there

princesskeestrr: Is that a group or a page?

SerSinAlot: They tag it blister of the day or something. Found it

princesskeestrr: Wow, that is graphic.

SerSinAlot: Yeah, that's Vierdaagse. One of the things about rucking long distances is taking care of your feet.

princesskeestrr: How do you take care of your feet?

SerSinAlot: That's one of the things I'd like to work on the sub. Get us a wiki with information on how to keep your feet healthy.

princesskeestrr: That would be amazing.

SerSinAlot: On march, pop+tape

princesskeestrr: My friend's wife just got a ton of blisters while hiking and she is super grouchy. They are fighting a lot as a result. Very unhealthy for their marriage.

SerSinAlot: My IFAK on march has needle, tape, disinfectant and lamb's wool. At home some second skin is adequate. On march, second skin just destroys your feet more. It is so thick, that it only hurts

princesskeestrr: Wow

SerSinAlot: I learned that in Vierdaagse, the painful way. Lambs wool is used when you get a blister between the toes. Pop tape and wrap lambs wool around the toe Prevents chafing

princesskeestrr: This may be a stupid question, so please excuse me, but do you carry a ruck during Vierdaagse? Does everyone else?

SerSinAlot: day & S Military series. Mandatory. Don't worry. There are no stupid questions. I attend as part of the Finnish delegation.

princesskeestrr: Cool

SerSinAlot: Civilians don't usually carry anything extra. For the record, I'm in reserves. So not active military.

princesskeestrr: How do you choose a good shoe? In the reserves, do they provide shoes?

SerSinalot: They do in certain cases. I don't use them because they are shit I try to look at what professionals use, like cops, security guards, soldiers etc. I currently have Haix athletic 2.1 mid GTX. Been quite pleased with them. Shoes are user specific. I mean, if I didn't have reserve thing to worry about I'd use running shoes. I also have custom fitted insoles, which are equally as important.

princesskeestrr: My feet are very choosy. I've currently been using Xero shoes, which would probably benefit greatly from custom insoles.

SerSinAlot: Get them! Really.

princesskeestrr: I will listen to you

SerSinalot: It's a world of difference. I met a guy in Holland who did Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage from Holland. He did it in his work boots. Zero blisters.

princesskeestrr: They sort of promise the "barefoot experience” which I am a huge fan of. If i could be barefoot always, I would be happy in my life. Now that is wild.

SerSinAlot: He just doesn't get them.

princesskeestrr: Robot feet

SerSinAlot: He was a tough motherfucker

princesskeestrr: Kind of guy who has callouses in all the right places

SerSinAlot: Callouses won't stop blisters

princesskeestrr: I don't know these things

SerSinAlot: I didn't either. A medic told me, that the blister just forms beneath the callous

princesskeestrr: Oh man

SerSinalot: Very unpleasent I hear

princesskeestrr: One time, i got very drunk. I played the electric bass for many hours and got this amazing blister on my right index finger. It was very gross. Both my bass playing and my blister.

SerSinAlot: I bet that was unpleasant as well.

princesskeestrr: I thought I was immune because of callouses, but now I see why I was mistaken. So, what else do you think people should know about rucking?

SerSinAlot: Weight isn't everything. Often newcomers focus on carrying too much. Rather focus on getting enough km's under the belt and then worrying about carrying heavier loads: I mean, if you can carry 10kg for 50km, you sure can carry 20-30kg the same distance.

Feet care and stretching are also important. Just like in any physical activity. Take care of your body and so on

princesskeestrr: I love this advice. You mentioned adding more about foot care to your Wiki, what other plans do you have for the sub?

SerSinAlot: At it's core rucking is just movement from point A to point B. In the military you also have to operate a mission during and/or after the ruck. That should always be kept in mind. More community rucks.

princesskeestrr: Oooh community rucks sound very fun

SerSinAlot: We have a list up. that I would like to see populated with events from around the world

princesskeestrr: Yes, yes, yes, that sounds awesome!

SerSinAlot: We had two last year. Both were on a very short notice, but we had a nice turnout 4-day New Year's Ruckathon

princesskeestrr: Maybe online community rucks too. I will see if my sub r/HealthOver30, would be up for one this summer. We can do a thread and share our experiences. Maybe I can cross post it?

SerSinAlot: Hell yeah! Wait Ruckathon 2020

princesskeestrr: Oh, that's what you did! That's so cool!

SerSinAlot: 2021 Rucking events. There are many events during the summer months

princesskeestrr: Fantastic. I will gather all my people and see if we can get in on these. I'm very excited!

SerSinAlot: We have a long marching tradition in our military (thanks Germany) and Summer Night's Marches have been going on for decades

princesskeestrr: Well, I'm totally on board. Can't think of a better way to spend a summer night.

SerSinAlot: Hell yeah!

princesskeestrr: Thanks so much for your time today and please feel free to let me know if you have anything else to add. I'm going to write up your feature and try put it on the schedule for May. I appreciate you, your sub, and your mod team and all you do for the rucking community! And the health and wellness side of reddit in general.

SerSinAlot: Thank you for showing interest! I'm also in the 30 demographic so I gotta check out that sub as well.

princesskeestrr: Well, my sub was supposed to be very health-oriented, but then my life fell apart so now it's just me and 500 of my closest friends supporting each other the best we can. In other words. I love it there and I hope you join us.

SerSinAlot: Already did. Health just gets forgotten so easily with work and other stress. I know I forgot mine. I've been at this path only for the past 4 or so years

princesskeestrr: Same, it took me having kids to realize that life is more than making money

SerSinAlot: So true

princesskeestrr Talk about a rude awakening

SerSinAlot: I don't have kids. Knock on wood.

princesskeestrr: Lean into that

SerSinAlot: Thank you!

princesskeestrr: Enjoy that sound sleep and no one touching you while you are eating

SerSinAlot: This was fun. Hope to see you guys with heavy loads on your backs!

####r/Antimeme

503,000 Failed comedians for 8 years!

What do you call a joke mixed with a rhetorical question?

r/antimeme is the perfect mix of r/technicallythetruth and r/memes, because most of the memes there rely on interpreting meme text literally, and adding something clever to the image, like this Spiderman meme, or this one about self burns.

However, not all antimemes rely entirely on the meme's default text.

Some, like this one-in-a-million occurrence are essentially r/technicallythetruth material with a humorous intention. This one even adds text to the meme in order to make it fit a story.

Some simply rely on bluntness, like this one about piss or this one about a friendly dog

All in all, there's a wider variety of strategies to remove all conventional humor from situations than you might expect, and every post you see on your feed will throw you off, and make you wonder how it was upvoted, until you see the sub name and once again criticize yourself for being such a fine connoisseur of humor that you didn't realize.

##/r/LeagueofLegends

198,519 5,119,955 summoners for 2 10 years!

League of Legends is a "MOBA" (multiplayer online battle arena) inspired by the classic Defense of the Ancients for WarCraft III which was itself inspired by the classic but almost forgotten Aeon of Strife. I used to play Warcraft III a lot. I was a big fan of the AoS genre (what would become called MOBAs). But I was too hipster and edgy to play DoTA so I played Tides of Blood and other silly games like Elemental TD and Island Defense. With League of Legends there are three lanes and you get to pick and control a champion while AI controlled units spawn every 30 seconds or something like that and attack the other AI controlled units. The goal is to push enough to get to the enemy's main base and destroy it.

I used to play League of Legends. Or rather, I used to play Riven. My LoL experience consisted of me and some friends on Skype. I would press A to auto-attack some creeps in their lane while I minimized to check Reddit, they would tell me to maximize and I would spam some abilities and kill some champions and then go back to auto-attacking creeps and checking Reddit. I was a beast. Occasionally people would try to kill me but I would spam Q/E and I was already gone. You can't touch this. Before Riven was released I would play Kassadin so he's my second favorite but that was just to learn the game so I could dominate with Riven. I am the best with Riven.

And if you don't have a lot of money because you spent it all on the Steam holiday sale then don't cry because League of Legends is free. Another good thing is that there's two sides to it. You've got your folks who just like to play the game and have fun and then you have your folks who are obsessed with ELO. Personally, my favorite is Jungle. Yours Truly, 2095 is a close second. I'm a big ELO fan, probably more obsessed than these LoLers and I don't even play the game, at least not anymore.

##1. Why League of Legends?

/u/Jaraxo It's FREE! You get a fantastic game, great casual and competitive levels of play, fantastic tournaments, some great personalities and you don't have to pay a penny.

/u/Glyceroll Because you feel like a total badass from level 1 onwards! Also, I'm addicted to buying skins and telling myself it'll help me learn a champion. It works for about 2 games and then I never use the champ again until I get more inspiration (looking at you Lux).

##2. What's your favorite champion?

/u/Jaraxo Got to be Amumu. Sad little mummy child with no one to love, going around stomping on your lanes.

/u/Glyceroll Diana, Leona, Pantheon, Miss Fortune, Caitlyn, Teemo... There's too many to list D:

##3. What's your favorite champion's dance?

/u/Jaraxo Malzahar is pretty awesome with the MC Hammer dance, though WW is pretty cool with Thriller.

/u/Glyceroll I like Syndra's dance the most - followed closely by Ahri. No SNSD bias here.

##4. What's your favorite item?

/u/Jaraxo Heart of Gold. Seriously, I want that beast of an item back.

/u/Glyceroll Liandry's Torment on AP Teemo.

##5. What's your favorite skin?

/u/Jaraxo Anyone who doesn't say Armour of the 5th Age Taric is a liar.

/u/Glyceroll Armor of the Fifth Age Taric ;D

##6. Do you ever summon things in real life?

/u/Jaraxo Yes.

/u/Glyceroll Only small woodland creatures when I sing in the shower

##7. LoL is a pretty popular competitive game, do you pay attention to the competitive scene or do you just play the game?

/u/Jaraxo Some of it, when the champions I care about are being played or someone links to a good replay. I'm mainly watching IRC or the subreddit during the big games so there's little time to pay attention to it.

/u/Glyceroll Of course! League and eSports are two peas in the same pod! I feel like you can't even get the full experience of LoL without following the competitive scene anymore. (Also FeaR/CLG EU #1)

##8. What's your favorite K-Pop song (and don't act like you don't know)?

/u/Jaraxo Gotta be this one.

/u/Glyceroll Lipstick - Orange Caramel // Hoot - SNSD // Nobody - Wonder Girls. Once again there's way too many to list them all!

##9. Do you have anything you'd like to say?

/u/Jaraxo I want to say thanks to Rjbman and everyone else involved in setting up and running the IRC 5v5 games each week.

/u/Glyceroll Shoutout to everyone! ILY ALL <3 (double extra shoutout to Comely and Optimal Tim, Chobra sux, and Helaina please forgive me for getting your name wrong <3)

##r/Futurama

75,618 677,683 people biting a shiny metal ass for 5 13 years!

Ever wondered how earth will look like in a thousand years? Even better: ever wondered how earth will look like in a thousand years, in cartoon style? Then Futurama is the place for you! Home of Zoidberg, Omicron Persei 8, and good news.

Futurama is an awesome cartoon about a guy called Fry, who gets frozen by accident in 2000 and unfreezes in the 31th century. Talking robots, aliens, Nixon as president and many other sci-fi stuff come along his path as a delivery boy.

You may think this subreddit is a bit too big to get nominated, but this one is worth it. Its amazing and funny members give you the best content. So behave. Even with the recent news about the show getting cancelled, they still remain awesome. To compromise stuff, I will feature a small subreddit in the near future. How do you like the sound of that?

So qweiopasd, who is your favourite character? Well, thanks for asking. My favourite would be the man with no name. Zapp Brannigan, at your service. But why not Zoidberg?. Well, because Zoidberg is always number 1. He is so high in ranking that there needed to be a new list below him. And that's where we meet the glorious Zapp Brannigan. His smooth voice and classic battle/love making tactics beat every other rival. Try to read everything in his voice (even this write up), it makes them even better than a cold icecream on a hot mid-afternoon.

So please do yourself a favor and go watch this cartoon.

##I'll hopefully get the answers soon!

Until we get the answers I answered hem myself

#1. How did you get into Futurama, and why do you love it?

qweiopasd I think I first saw it on comedy central, and it was like love on first sight (cheesy). The great jokes smoothily put in this show are amazing, together with the realistic setting.

#2. Who is your favorite character and why?

qweiopasd Zapp, and you already know that because I said it in the freaking write up, so why are you still reading this?

#3. What is your favourite quote? And what about your favourite episode?

qweiopasd So many choices. A lot of my favourite are written in this feature. Bender always gives some good ones. For now I think the Snu-Snu episode, but that's because Im bad at remembering stuff in the heat of the moment.

#4. I see that you are the only mod at r/Futurama, how can you handle such a big subreddit on your own?

qweiopasd ERROR, FILE NOT FOUND

#5. With many comedy series the viewers often believe that the serie is going downhill. Do you have the same thought about Futurama?

qweiopasd Well, I should probably realise it after a few more seasons, and that's the reason they cancelled it. But I prefer to quit watching a show because it's getting worse than getting forced to quit it while it's still in the prime of its life.

#6. How do you think the world will look like in the year 3000?

qweiopasd As I said in a previous post, we will all be enslaved by the bears. But i like to think that there is peace everywhere and really cool technology stuff. Who am I kidding, I want to live in a by bears ruled world. I would be one of their best men.

#7. How is the community like?

qweiopasd pretty awesome. They can be dicks sometimes, but aren't we all dicks?

They can be dicks sometimes, but aren't we all dicks?

-qweiopasd

#8. Anything else you would like to add?

qweiopasd Go watch the show! Admire me and have a great day.

Enjoy your day everybody! May, may here we come! (Go Willem! Winking at soupy)

^(Written by /u/qweiopasd, reposted by /u/princesskeestrr in a display of ultimate laziness in celebration of how well this community has sustained and grown over the past decade! Congratulations to r/futurama for sticking around all this time, growing, and thriving. After all, their story is lot like all the others, only more interesting, cause it involves robots.

####r/BadReads

14,000 Bad readers for 1 year!

Have you ever read a book, finished it, and couldn't get it off your mind, so you went to see what strangers on the internet thought about it? The members of r/BadReads have, and they've realized that some people reviewing books on the internet are just a little bit crazy.

Sometimes a book review says more about the reviewer than it does about the book. r/BadReads is a showcase of the most unhelpful book reviews from all over the internet, and includes reviews that are shallow, vapid, or completely missing the point. Steamy hot-takes abound!

It's the sub for poking fun at less-than-stellar and head-scratching book reviews - reviews that make you shake your head and leave you speechless - reviews that make you cry from laughing out loud so hard - reviews that make you utter simply, "What the fuck...?"

What is a BadRead? Well, it could be...

• ...a Goodreads review that posits that the Diary of Anne Frank is actually, in fact, absolute debauchery
• ...when a certain conservative "intellectual" tweeted about Obama's memoirs being too "egotistical".
• ...when Kate Ashbrook had a laugh at this Amazon review that scolded the author for failing to predict the COVID-19 pandemic.
• ...this Goodreads classicist who prefers Rick Riordan to Homer.
• ...an interesting summary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
• ...men who will literally write goodreads reviews about their crippling alcoholism and depression before going to therapy.
• ...and a reviewer that couldn't possibly finish noted homosexual author Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray for being...checks notes...too gay?

So now you have a place to go whenever you're scrolling through Goodreads reviews and stumble across Carol's rant about the word "Jesus" being too offensive for publication, and instead of only laughing by yourself, you can bless thousands of others with their inanity.

#/r/AoE2

112,161 readers for 10 years!

Happy 10th birthday, /r/AoE2. For nostalgia's sake, check out AoE2's last feature here from July 2013.

It's been over 20 years since AoE2 came out and the scene has only gained in strength and numbers since. Things have changed since that day I brought home those boxed CDs and first began to fail horribly. I'm no longer the useless bottom-rung F-list player I once was. I'm older now. The rest is still accurate. I've never been good at RTS games, so I feel no shame in admitting that I am absolutely awful at AoE2, even though it's my favorite RTS. I bought it in a box when the Conqueror's expansion came out and they had a combination sale, and I've not gone more than a year without playing it since then. Yet, despite decades of practice, years of academy training, I am still probably only as good as a normal-ish AI. The day is fast approaching when I must come to terms with the fact that I'll never be an AoE2 pro, destined to get on cereal boxes, have a line of branded fortified stone walls, and star in my own daytime drama series titled 'I Built These Houses In The Wrong Order and Now I'm Stuck'.

Beyond my woes, AoE2 is an amazing game, and with the new expansion, the definitive edition, and the newly-announced AoE4, the scene has never been better. There are always players ready to eviscerate my posterior, livestreams from people who are eviscerating said posterior, and hundreds of guides on how best to eviscerate posteriors. The best of which, for those new to the game, is /r/AoE2's own subreddit wiki for the game. Even now, after eons of playing, I only learned what exactly Wonder Race is from there. Now all I need to learn is why anyone would play that mode.

/r/AoE2 is the most active subreddit for Age of Empires, as it's the most popular of the series. It maintains a delicate balance of discussion, news, humor, and creative content that many communities struggle with. The community is fantastic, the mods are good, new players get help and advice, and nobody makes fun of me for running a strategy that involves sacrificing all my units and resources to the old gods in exchange for deep lore and eldritch power. It never works, but I need a cover story for how badly I play. In most games you'd expect the community, especially a big and active one, to have big and active problems, but /r/AoE2 is very chill, at least in my experience. Just don't make the same wololo joke for the ninetieth time, please.

Come celebrate /r/AoE2's 10th birthday by playing a game if you haven't in a while. It's like riding a bike, y'know. Once you click a villager and they make those weird noises, it'll all come rushing back. Then get fed up with those cheating AI bastards and spawn a bunch of Shelby Cobras with machine guns. I don't even need to remind you of the code to do that, do I? That's what I thought.

This has been your perpetual noob who can't remember all the hotkeys because his brain is smoother than a mirror, Xavier Mendel, signing off.

#/r/DaftPunk

##Prologue

• The overcast of clouds cover the endless skies.
• The terrain is a meadow devoid of life and yet lush with green blades of grass as far as the eye can see.
• Square pattern grid of monolithic rocks are the only thing strategically placed on the field.
• The wind howls and whistles back and forth.
• A muted armada of transports come to a calming halt.
• The released cargo within slowly grazes towards one specific point.
• A horde of silent black silhouettes hover around a patch of land that was pristinely excavated earth.
• The ceremony is about to commence.

##The End is the Beginning

Dear robots, cyborgs, humans, and everything in between and beyond. We are all gathered here today on this 2 month anniversary of Daft Punk officially announcing of their disbandment. For some it was writing on the walls, come to fruition. For others it was shocking news as if a dear friend's passed. All we can do now is mourn for the loss of the French Chevalier's of Dance.

This article was originally planned to be written the same week of the announcement itself. I realized I needed time to go through the 5 stages of grief and finally accept the grave news. Now I will try to give this the proper send off it deserves.

The only way I know how to mourn is to reminiscence of the good times gone by. Daft Punk's predecessor band [Darlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlin%27_(French_band\)) were on the cusp of greatness with tracks like "untitled 18". Ironically, Darlin's self titled track could easily fit into Human After All's tracklist. If you end up liking Daft Punk give Darlin a once over.

##Cliffnotes

###Audio Homework

Homework's Da Funk is a vibe that I still strive for. That entire album is raw electricity trapped in a bottle, so crisp and sharp it could diamonds. Vacuum packed, so the freshness is locked it. And great for the whole family, now even grandma can join in on the fun and stunt on these hoes. The music videos alone for this album are a time capsule of uniqueness.

• Da Funk
• Around the world
• Teachers
• Indo Silver Club
• Phoenix

###Sound Discovery

Yet it was the French duo's sophomore album, Discovery that I most resonate with. It was if Thomas and Guy-Manuel harnessed the soul of disco and mixed it with the purest form of crack money could buy and reincarnated House music over night. I can tell you there was a clear before and after version of myself. I must have listened to this album a few thousand of times. I still debate whether the original or the vinyl is better. Interstella 5555 is a treat in itself.

• Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
• Something About Us
• One more time
• Aerodynamic
• Face to Face
• The entire album

###Way too Human After All

Human After All, the duo's third round in the studio once again went in a completely different direction, namely Electronic-Rock. One with more harsher guitar notes yet with the same electronic rhythmic sound they were famous for. Leading to the classic problem with pioneers, when they introduce something new, it doesn't always become an instant hit. Sometimes you need to let it simmer and marinate its, so to fully appreciate its greatness. Sorta like cult classic movies are some of the most beloved. But were flops when originally released. Some fans even had the nerve to be mad that Daft Punk didn't remain stuck to House genre. Which is so stupid, you can't restrict artists from what type of art they want to create. When musicians dread change, their sound become formulaic and then you end up with Nickelback.

• The Prime Time of Your Life
• Emotion
• Technologic
• Robot Rock
• Human After All

###Download more Random Access Memories

Random Access Memories, the duo's fourth and final studio album, came full circle, giving the masses the disco-pop album they didn't even know they wanted. Going completely raw sonically and flipping their tradition style of electronic music for a more real instrumental sounding album with only a Salt Bae sprinkle of autotune. Behind the scenes Daft Punk assembled an all star team of artists such as legends like Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Nathan East, and Pharrell Williams to list only a few. This was the Frenchmen love letter to Disco and pop from the 70s & 80s.

• Lose Yourself to Dance
• Instant Crush
• Doin' It Right
• Give Life Back to Music
• Get Lucky

##Honors & Merits

Daft Punk biggest achievement has to be making Dance music acceptable in mainstream. Without becoming the butt of jokes in the same vain people roll their eyes when talking about ska, scat or even early hip hop. Musical tastes are subjective But if you want to explore something different the above mentioned songs are the best of the best Daft Punk has to offer. Not including mashups, mixes, remixes, collabs, productions, directorial, solo works or soundtrack projects obviously. To include those I would need to write a whole other article.

##Further interrogation with the MODs.

#1. How has the community taken the news of Daft Punk's break up so far?

/u/IranianGenius Community has been largely shocked, mostly sad, but honestly altogether pretty stable throughout. Not many trolls, and lots of people using this as an experience to make artistic tributes. I've been positively surprised, especially after modding /r/Lakers when Kobe passed.

/u/Nintendult Many people have been very disappointed, even shocked by the news, especially given their long hiatus before announcing this. At the same time though, many have also taken the opportunity to show their love for Daft Punk through talking about their favorite songs and even sharing tribute art and remixes. Rather ironically, it feels as though Daft Punk's retirement has given us new life.

/u/OwMyDragonBallz The community has been heartbroken. But just like as most hardcore daft punk fans have been for years, there's still hope or belief that this isn't truly the end. So it's fun to see people not be devastated by the news.

#2. As super fans yourself, What Daft Punk song best describes your own feelings right now?

IranianGenius & Nintendult "Something About Us", as its somber vibes really resonate with us during this sad time.

OwMyDragonBallz My own feelings, I'd say "Human after all". The robots are only human after all. This was going to eventually happen. It's sad, because we always want more. I want to see them live at least once, but they are getting older and they are human after all. So they deserve this break and end.

#3. Where were you when you heard your first Daft Punk song? What song was it?

IranianGenius Harder Better Faster Stronger but I'm not sure where or when. I feel like I've always known that song.

Nintendult Many years ago, I was watching a little animation compilation on YouTube which featured "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". Hearing that lovely song was what first got me into them.

OwMyDragonBallz Watching Toonami's Midnight Run Special Edition :-). It was when I was introduced to Gorillaz and Daft Punk in the same night.

#4. As Daft Punk has changed music for the better, who are some new up and coming artists making strides in a similar fashion?

Nintendult Personally I have to strongly recommend Madeon and Porter Robinson, two artists who have been very closely inspired by Daft Punk and who have made great strides in electronic music and beyond. Check out Madeon's "Miracle" and Porter Robinson's "Look at the Sky".

OwMyDragonBallz Madeon, not necessarily new or up and coming. But I'd say he is the new French modern electronic music star. As far as House, I'd say Dombresky and Arno Cost definitely have the mantle for modern French house music.

#5. On a lighter note, what is your favorite Daft Punk meme or joke?

IranianGenius I like pixel art so I've always liked this, but if you want a straight

meme, here's this.

OwMyDragonBallz By far is the 10 year Alive meme. Every 10 years new tour please haha....

#6. So we still on for ALIVE 2021? Right? RIGHT?

Nintendult Of course! I bet they will premiere the show on February 30th this year.

OwMyDragonBallz Absolutely 😁.

#7. Any Last Remakes?

Nintendult As disappointed as I am that Daft Punk are ending their work, I'm hopeful that we can all continue to celebrate the robots' work for years to come.

####r/Dogecoin

1,450,000 $hibes HODLing for 7 years!

Do you have some spare change lying around? Something left over from your stimmy? Do you want to take something besides GME to the moon, but still be part of the meme? If you answered yes to any of these questions, (or even if you didn’t) r/Dogecoin is the place for you.

Dogecoin is the internet’s currency. Created as a meme (as all now-great things are) and based on one of the cutest dog breeds in existence, its animal magnetism has drawn both redditors and smart investors, and allowed it to blossom into a well-recognized and booming area for serious long-term investment. My wife’s boyfriend and I have both transferred our entire IRA balance into Doge, and when it hits $1, we’ll never have to work again.

“Wait, did you say when it hits *$1*? So that means I can buy Doge with just some spare change and the spirit of a lucrative investor?”

Yes, you can. Right now, one coin only costs 5 10 40 cents, which means that you can own over 1000 500 100 Doge for less than the price of a year of Reddit premium. Besides its cheapness, the beauty of Doge is how easy it is to invest. The subreddit has an entire pinned post on how to do so, and tons of resources on the sidebar. You can even give Doge to other redditors with Tipbot, and avoid paying Reddit anything for their awards (few of which are as old or as valuable as Dogecoins).

And just in case any of you were thinking “well yeah, it seems fun, but it’s just a meme, it’ll probably die soon”, you may not be aware of how uniting or popular of a coin it really is. Several well-known figures have all expressed support for it, including Twitter’s favorite memelord Elon Musk, award-winning actress Mia Khalifa, well-known plant enthusiast Snoop Dog(g/e), and prominent boater Lil Yachty. And even with all this support, the community stays humble, and dedicated to goals paramount to personal wealth.

It's just a matter of time before Doge follows in the footsteps of other cryptocurrencies and goes to the moon. The only question is of who its astronauts will be.

##r/starlinkinternet

1320 members for 2 years!

The sub-Reddit provides all the information about Starlink Internet.

It provides information about the state of current deployment of satellites as well as future deployment plans.

Starship development is very relevant for deployment of satellites, as nearly 400 satellites can be deployed by a Starship in one launch (as compared to 60 satellites by a Falcon 9). Starship is fully reusable whereas Falcon 9 is partially reusable. Thus Starship will cut down the cost of deployment drastically.

The development of satellites itself is very relevant. Current version 1.0 doesn't have ISLL capability (except a few sent in polar orbit). Future versions, to be deployed next year will all have this capability. This will enhance the speed of data exchange between earth stations through satellites by an order of magnitude.

Editor’s note: so yeah, this sub was nominated by their mods a while back. The feature they wrote reads like a advertisement on TV in an old sci-fi movie. That got my attention and made me want to watch the Fifth Element again. I loved that movie the first time I saw it. I watched it again a few years back and eh, I didn’t like it as much. I should watch it again to see if I was just in a bad mood the second time. Also, I’d like to see the new Blade Runner, but I keep falling asleep every time I try to watch it. I hear that it is better than the first one.

Anyway, to tell you the truth, I don’t know much about satellite internet. Is it reliable? I don’t know. Is it fast? Not sure. Is it expensive? Probably. Personally, I’m kind of excited that there may be an alternative to the two internet providers in my area soon and thought that the readers here may feel the same. Plus, it was fun having a look around this community. Check it out when you have the chance, or take a gander at the three top posts I included below:

How is it different than other satellite internet?

How much did Elon Musk donate to the Giga project? Undisclosed.

Dreaming of using Starlink Internet from my Tesla boat someday.

In the words of the great J.R.R. Tolkien, “A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.” Readers, I hope that you have a wonderful day full of stardust and dreams, that the force will be with you, and that you all live long, and prosper. Klaatu barada nikto. I’ll be back.

Solve for X:

That's right. X is birds. Do you now see how utterly screwed we are? Well, you don't even know the half of it.

Forget climate change. Forget alien invasions, plagues, nuclear war, capitalism, meteors, solar flares, and the always-too-soon 20th Anniversary St. Anger remaster. What will really kill off the world will be birds with arms. Mark my words: Birds with arms will be the end of us all if we do not act now to stop them.

Just look at them. Every post on /r/birdswitharms is its own advertisement for the upcoming Bird War Freedom Bonds. The avian menace must be stopped by any means necessary, lest they conquer the world. Maybe beyond? With birds able to replicate, consume, and grow so quickly, we could even be faced with an apocalyptic Grey Goose scenario.

Since I've got nothing at all that will suddenly tear me away from my computer and hold me captive for weeks in a cell with strong, feathered arms, constantly quacking at me about the numbers while they put jumper cables on my special space, I shall take this opportunity to explain, in full detail, the true danger of the /r/birdswitharms threat, and how humanity can act against it now, before it's too late.

So, uhh--this is weird. I completely forgot this week's scheduled day was supposed to be one of impish merriment. But you know what? I'm going to go ahead anyways- /r/Horror deserves it's day in the spotlight, and here's why.

• The sound of your heart pounding in your ears. The cold weight in your chest. The prickling sensation that presses up your spine. We've all felt the stab of terror while enjoying a horror novel or scary movie- we've all loved it. We're creatures of adrenaline, and a movie ticket, is easier to get and cheaper(?) than a bag of heroin.

• Ugliness has always been an aspect of our culture, but for the most part it has belonged to the fringe. For every painting of an engorged Medusa, there's 4 or 5 works of a limpid and pale Aphrodite, lounging on a couch. It's a refreshing change to see the uggos rule for once!

• I personally don't like it when movies get preachy. For example, I bought a full crate of tuna just to spite the people who made the cove. And you know what? The spite makes it taste all the better. But in works from Cronenberg and Romero, we're more than happy to reflect on matters such as death and consumerism (as long as we get giant flies and zombie hordes too.)

But don't take my word for it! The spooky mods of /r/Horror, RipperM and Dearon, spoke to the SROTD team about Dreaddit:

Which book/movie/etc first got you interested in the horror genre?

RipperM: That's actually a tough one to answer. I became obsessed with the darker side of life at such an early age. I remember in the early seventies, before I was old enough to start school, I used to raid my older brother's record collection. He had an album by a band called Blood Rock. There was a song called D.O.A. It was about a band in a plane crash, and the lead singer describing himself slowly bleeding to death. I used to listen to it over and over.

The first movie I remember seeing in a cinema was "It's Alive". I think I was 6 or 7. Of course now it seems cheesy and ridiculous, but it scared the hell out of me at the time. It just snowballed from there and horror has been a huge part of my life ever since.

Dearon: What really got me started was when I was a teenager and tried to find the most horrible movies to watch with friends. The whole "show how awesome we are" thing which, I assume, most people have experienced. The main titles I can remember from that time, to give a idea of the types of movies, are Cannibal Holocaust, Driller Killer and I Spit on Your Corpse, I Piss on Your Grave (unlike the other two this one is not very good at all). In watching this stuff I realized how much I like the genre and started to hunt down everything I could get my hands on. Leading to me having seen many many movies over the years.

What do you think makes for really good horror?

RM: For me, a really good story before anything. A good build up of suspense and dread as well. To me that’s more satisfying than jump shock type stuff.

RM:Also plenty of spraying blood, decapitations, eviscerations and boobies doesn’t hurt either.

D: The main thing that makes horror good horror for me personally is the underlying theme of being "confronted" with things whom are not acceptable in the real world. Think of things like brutal murder or rape. Through this, in combination with the tone of the movie, it becomes possible to explore taboo topics and see how I personally feel about them and what kind of thoughts they generate. Plus there is always the option to turn if off if things becoming overpowering to the person watching (which is useful when trying to show something to family, haha).

Most under-rated horror movie/book in your opinion: GO.

RM: One of the first to come to mind is Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Of course it had absolutely zero to do with the Halloween franchise, which is the main reason it failed so miserably. I'm convinced that if it had been given a different title, maybe just "Season of the Witch", it would have done much better. The whole premise is ridiculous, but it's a fun watch. A more recent one that deserves more attention would be “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)”. It’s about a psycho who allows a documentary crew to follow his life as he plans his killing spree. Very cool film.

D: I can never narrow it down to just one, so here is a small selection. Ebola Syndrome from 1996, overall one of the more messed up movies i have seen. Big trigger warning on this movie for those who are sensitive to that by the way. Hell of the Living Dead from 1980, my personal favorite zombie movie so far (has a interesting production history as well). Red to Kill from 1994, this one had a large influence on how I feel toward rape in a emotional sense (as opposed to seeing it from a purely intellectual viewpoint). This too needs a (big) trigger warning. Street Trash from 1987, this one has some really amazing gore. And finally Teenage Exorcist from 1991, not the most refined horror movie ever but I had a ton of fun with it.

Is there anything you would like to change about your subreddit? If so, what?

RM: More in depth discussions couldn’t hurt. But really, It’s running pretty smoothly right now.

D:We recently launched a chatroom (##reddit-horror on Freenode) which could see some more activity, but other than that I am happy with the way things are.

What is your least favorite scary movie cliche?

RM: People in horror movies alway seem to have the shittiest cell phone providers.

“I don’t have a signal!”

“Neither do I!”

[stab stab stab]

D:The whole "hey, let's be complete idiots and do everything in the worst possible way" trope is getting really old by now. But luckily it doesn’t seem to be used that often any more.

Do you have anything to say to the subscribers of /r/Horror?

RM: You guys are the flesh and blood (and gristle, intestines, arterial spray) of /r/horror. Keep up the good work.

No, seriously. Keep supplying us with great content and discussion or I will murder your entire family.

P.S. You don’t only have to message us when your post is in the spam filter. We also welcome your suggestions and ideas. So... Do that.

D:I wish you all many more years so that you can enjoy your lives and watch many more horror movies :D

####r/Titanic

13,600 Iceberg haters for 11 years!

When most people think of the Titanic, they think of three words or phrases: iceberg, unsinkable, and “Jack could have easily fit on that door”. But what they may not think about is the history that often pervades pop culture, and how people conceptualize the tragedy across generations through mediums like art, film, and writing. r/Titanic is essentially a grab bag of all of these things, and even includes content that isn’t directly about the ship itself. To quote u/DarkNinjaPenguin, a moderator of the sub,

We're not a huge sub, but we love all things Titanic related - the ship, her history, her sisters and others of the era, and of course the numerous films. While other subs like r/RMS_Titanic focus more on strict historical discussion, we're sort of a free-for-all for relaxed discussion of anything Titanic-related. We've had relatives of passengers talking about their families' experience, plenty of discussion on the technical aspects of the ship, and even some short stories set on board.

And, with the anniversary of the voyage this week, there’s plenty of content for even the most casual boating or Celine Dion fan to enjoy.
