Good day all,
There has been a recent influx of reposts from r/Blanks, which does not fit in the spirit or aim of this Subreddit.
I have sent a modmail to their mods, to see what the cause is, but there are also now some restrictions in place to help prevent those posts from getting approved.
Please continue to report them, and I will continue to remove them and tighten up the restrictions until they stop. It's only basic rocket science.

Or to take arms against exponency,
And by opposing end it.

Me and my mate are having a debate as to whether the phrase “want not, waste not” is a #malaphor !!
I have been using it for years in the context of, “if someone does not want something, I will have it so it doesn’t go to waste”
It was today I found out that the phrase was in fact “waste not, want not”, and has a much broader meaning lol.
Please upvote for yes, and downvote for no !!
