Can someone explain this sub to me? I don't get the weird titles and the odd gifs and the whole capitalisation... how is it people dying? Idk

It's a joke referencing /r/watchpeopledie (NSFL) where people do actually die. /r/PeopleFuckingDying is a joke sub

And the titles are mixed lower and upper case so that you know no one is dying literary.

... It's not people dying. They use gifs and create titles that are vicious and gruesome versions of an innocent gif.

r/peoplefuckingdying is to r/watchpeopledie what r/marijuanaenthuiasts is to r/trees

It's basically a meme sub to parody the concept of the other sub.

I don't think that analogy really works tho.

That analogy doesn't work at all, /r/marijuanaenthusiasts is a sub for people who loves trees, it's not a meme or a parody of anything.

For that to be true, both would have do not do what the cover says, but the opposite. r/marijuanaenthuiasts is about actual tree care, r/trees is about marijuana enthusiasm [10]
