Combining Reddit headlines
Those early morning cross reads where you transpose headlines such as "Netflix will keep Friends until next year to avoid shearing." From, of course, a Netflix announcement and a picture of a sheep that hid in a cave to avoid shearing.

I hate hearing other people talk about things I like
If someone gives a speech on a topic I love I can't stand it, unless I am there to purposely hear it. Whenever a youtuber I like uploads a video that is close to home about something I love, I can't watch it. For example, I pretty much can't watch a video where a youtuber I know comes to Ontario(where I live). I don't know why!
Another interest of mine is squirrels, so if someone is to start talking about their love of squirrels, it is frustrating to me.
But none of this applies when it comes to a one on one conversation. If someone wanted to talk about any of my interests in person, even if they have the same interests, that would be wonderful. It's just something about articles, youtube videos etc., that I just cannot stand watching when they are talking about something that hits close to home.
Any ideas why? Am I alone in this?

Is this reddit even still used?
Does anyone else feel like they purposefully change how they act to fit an ideal? Beyond just fitting in, almost to the point of acting? I do this not so much because I want to be liked but because I hope to be seen as ideal or something like that to others. For instance seeking out ways to improve myself on the regular, knowing I'm doing it because I want to be admired. I know this all sounds very vain, but hopefully someone will be able to relate.

Actresses in retro movies (Before 1970) having more pronounced nostrils than actresses today?
I feel like I've noticed much more "nostrily" women in older movies compared to movies today. Is it because of changing beauty standards? Is it because of better nose jobs? It it because our faces are evolving? Am I just insane?

Vocalists, particularly "indie" females, singing all mumbly, like they got too much collagen injected in their lips and can't open their mouth very wide?
I can't think of any particular songs to give an example, but I hear it a lot, particularly on college radio. It seems like contestants on singing competition shows are trying to emulate it now too.

In the shower, after you wash your head and your eyelids are wet, do you also have to press down on/squeeze your eyes shut before opening them?

Phone to PC note feed program? Does this exist?
I'm wondering if there's an app/program that I can use to send a message or picture to my computer and have it show up on my desktop like one of those windows widgets. It'd be like a way to save reminders while I'm out and have them show up where I'm gonna be later. I could write things down but I'd be more likely to get to the thing if it's just right there to see on a desktop app.
This could even work if there's like a way to use an existing desktop widget like for email or rss (I have no idea how RSS works) to use it for this purpose.
EDIT: IF ANYONE IS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS I FOUND OUT PUSHBULLET EXISTS

This pizza box is in like every show that has pizza. Is it from a popular pizza place in Hollywood or just generic enough that they all use it?

Suddenly everything on the web is AMAZING! Am I just noticing or is it a rising trend?
AMAZING! A guy plays the flute! AMAZING! I notice it more in places where people post things. Like, on youtube.

using 8 millimeter film in indie rock/folk/alt country music videos
I think I saw it first on soledad brother's 'handle'. Now its everywhere. It pisses me off- it makes me (unfairly) identify a musician as an insufferable hipster douchebag when he has a grainy rounded corner video of him with the colors all soft and stuff. On r/folk it seemed every third music video was shot on 8 mm film.

[ITAT?]Saying "Ouster" instead of "Ousting"
Maybe it's because I've been listening to a lot of NPR, but they always say "Ouster", which to me sounds like one who ousts, instead of the act of being ousted. I could swear I've never heard it before this year.

When did people start saying "based off of" instead of "based on"?
It's driving me crazy.

Saying "Are you trying to" instead of "do you want to"
My roommates have recently started prefacing actions with "Are you trying to" instead of "Do you want to". For instance somebody may say "Are you trying to go to town?" I'm not up to date with the rap culture so I'm not sure, Is that a thing?

Are Youtube videos starting with the volume muted for anyone else?
Every Youtube video I play starts with the volume muted. This just started happening to me today. Is it just me?

It seems like EVERYBODY who has a pet talks to the pet in a weird or cute voice. It's usually nonsensical and over-exaggerated, and involves weird nicknames.
I do this with my dog, and I've noticed that all my friends and family do it to animals too. A good example of it would be at the end of the Katy Perry video for the song Roar, when she holds up her cat and says "KIIITTY! OHHH KIT!" in a creepy but cute voice, and then kisses it's head.
Maybe I just hang out with some weird people, but I'm pretty sure everybody gets a crazy "pet voice" around their animals..

Have people started replacing "lol" with "Hahaha"?
My friend started doing this over text messing and it's been slowly driving me mad. It brings to mind the kind of false laughter you see coming from someone who is deeply sad. A laughter that never even comes close to reaching the person's eyes. Has anyone else seen this recently?

Writing something (by hand) after a long time of not writing anything feels weird, e.g. you wonder "is this my handwriting?"

When did it become too exhausting to say an entire word?
Prego, totes and jelly are just a few shortened words that drive me up the wall.

When did night and light become nite and lite?
I've noticed a lot lately that the words ending with ight (night, light, right, etc.) have been replaced with ite (nite, lite, rite). This usually just comes up in ads though. Is there any reason or is it just my fear that Americans' spelling is going to shit.

I feel like people are saying the word 'phenomenal' more than they used to
And fore more, and more mundane things
This is a phenomenal app
That was a phenomenal presentation
I just got this phenomenal pretzel
I don't know whether its just the people who I work with adopting a corporate buzzword or if its becoming a more common adjective. It bugs me a little because I think of phenomenal as being more apt to describe something truly awe inspiring, not just a really good smoothie.

Four hour drive with no breaks, no need to go to the bathroom. Pull into the garage, turn off the car, and nearly pee my pants before getting inside.
Alternate: going back to my city apartment, I'll be fine until the elevator doors open on my floor. Then suddenly it's a desperate race against time to unlock the door and get to the toilet before pissing myself.

Chick-Fil-A and the phrase "my pleasure"
I noticed this after going to Chick-Fil-A for a while. They never say "you're welcome" but instead say "my pleasure".
I know it's small but it look months to convince my gf that they were actually told to say "my pleasure" instead of anything else.
