A place to find information on and discuss the surreal, amusing and often confusing as hell worldproblems subreddits (e.g. /r/fifthworldproblems, /r/seventhworldproblems, /r/45thworldproblems).

What we do here:

  • Have meta discussion on worldproblems subreddits, since generally meta discussion within the subreddits themselves is bad. Kills the immersion of the place.

  • Point each other to interesting worldproblems subreddits.

I remember this place.

I remember this place. a sullen, yet soft and facetious marvel of inhuman capacity. it was all fine until the imps broke loose. I was an alcoholic back then. hell, I'm an alcoholic now, so my recounting might possibly be wrong. it was an oasis for those enlightened enough to understand that such places are fleeting, and thus must be р₽₽!!*&юляялюблютебя'";:₽^ protected. but as is the nature of such "oases", it all must be consumed by kali ma, entropy, karma, god, however you call it. I knew about this then, and I drank my fears away. but what's the point? I was using an integral part of reality to escape another integral part of reality, так что смысла в этом не было. nkw I sit on my throne of nothingness and think about what was and what never will be. it consumes me. the void consumes me. what was once warmth and love has become cold, sharp edges of an erroneous mutual understanding. back then, I would've been angry. but now? now there's no point. this is my last message. goodbye

I have faith I did everything wrong and I pray to end it in the proper works for continuity.

God please just end It. I spoke in 45th.

Are you guys still alive?

Hi, hi, hi! It’s been a long time since I was here. Like, I was a kid when I stumbled in here.

I ran a subreddit for this, I think? Something about an island… I can’t remember, I was like 12.

If you guys are still alive, I’d love to jump back in. If you guys aren’t…

Thank you. This weird little corner inspired my love of writing. I know I was a cringy kid, but I appreciate everyone who played along with my antics.

[New Character, The Traveler]

Traveler's Log: Day 1

Greetings, future reader. If you're reading this, this is my log of the multiverse. Existence is far more than I've ever imagined. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of worlds besides my own, and I've decided to go explore them. According to the many-worlds interpretation, anything could be out there, so who knows what wonders could be out there, waiting for someone to find them? Well, I'm about to find out. You probably don't know who I am, so, for now, just call me the Traveler.

[OOC: Is this the right place to put this? Is the whole "World Problems metaverse" still active?]

Many worlds and legacies will be lost ;m;

After hearing that the reddit admins are planning to wipe out millions of subs on June 22, I realized many worldproblems subs fit the criteria and are in danger of being removed ;m;

https://old.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/o18ct9/creating_new_opportunities_for_future_community/

Backing up the css for those in danger while we still can might be a good idea {:'v

7thworldproblems discord server?

There doesn't seem to be a 7thworldproblems discord server. I'm thinking of making one, would that ruin the magic of it? Please advise; I don't know what to do.

Jesus christ... I feel like I've just uncovered a cult or something.

So I've travelled a couple of the worlds on and off for a while now. Some places r/seventhworldproblems here, maybe explore another obscure world or two there.

I never thought it stretched so far until now.

The Beach. The Silent Forest. The Mountain. The Desert. The Steppe. And more. There are islands and regions stretching across a map I never even knew existed. There are so many links... everywhere. The surreal journal-entry style posts from dead civilizations, the names, the stories, the poetry... where do I even start? Does it mean anything? Is there some kind of insanely deep interdimensional lore? Is it an already completed ARG, never meant to be truly revealed? Please, somebody enlighten me here. Everything is so cryptic yet incredibly interesting.

Bring out your dead!

I made a sub to serve as an interdimensional mortuary. We serve human, bokkhan, and faff alike, anyone who has crossed the Veil has a place in there. Speak to the Keeper if you'd like to record a name in the Dead Book.

I would say it is still a work in progress, I welcome any critique of the CSS because I have slapped this together fairly recently, particularly if there are issues with readability.

I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to officially retire any characters that have become defunct or honor the people that are no longer with us so we can move forward in the New Year with a fresh cast of characters while remembering what we've had in years past.

r/8thUniverseProblems welcomes all who wish to share their experiences in their own worlds and the Univarium they pass through.

A place to share stories, thoughts, experiences, especially anything about ( but not limited to ) that cool soothing nostalgia of your solo adventures, thoughts, and experiences.

I liken it to like a lone drive in the calm rain, an empty quiet diner off the highway or in some obscure corner of Tokyo. Or where ever.

universes feels silly, we say Univarium. We made it up.

The worlds have been extended to 150.

There is now a continuous chain of worldproblems subreddits up to r/150thworldproblems (an oasis subreddit).

Game Idea Help

I am trying to get into game design, and I want to try to make a puzzle platform based on r/seventhworldproblems. I want to ask 2 things:

  1. Would anybody want to see this?
  2. What kind of mechanics should I put in? I am thinking maybe some “avoid being caught” gameplay currently, but other ideas are welcome.

Now, excuse me, as I believe my [OBJECT: MEDICINE] has worn off.

bow before your new overlord, scrubs

hey
so I'm a moderator now

crazy, right?

Anyway, I've added report reasons to posts and enabled public wiki editing (provided you have 100 total karma from r/worldproblems), so The List can be worked on or whatever.

Go wild.

December? December?! DECEMBER?! AWARDTH!

I go even crazier each year! Eventually I'll be nothing more than a blubbering mad pile of flesh and bone!

It's that time of the year again. We go shopping and spend way too much money on bad TVs that don't fit in our cars, then watch news about what Russia is up to and then cut to something in an impoverished village. I dunno, something about counting up.

Guess who's back? Awards guy, that's who. Sponsored by the fine folks at /r/90210worldproblems and - recently - the HEART OF GOLD. Join the fold, behold the gold.

And even though K'Ad threatens to come over there every time I say it, it's time for the one

AWARDS

NOMINATIONS!

Too much? No, not enough! I didn't even get to a h1 tag!

Our six traditional categories, are, of course:

  • Fargoniac award for best alt
  • Golden Prawn award for effort
  • Best storyline
  • Best post
  • The New_Car_Wrecked special memorial award for outstanding contributions to World Problems
  • Best Newcomer

Feel free to nominate yourself, because who else will? I certainly won't. Why would the guy hosting the event have the good sense to be an impartial judge? That's absurd!
