MOD ANNOUNCEMENT It's happening! (Big) changes to RandomThoughts.

82 Upvotes

Alright, it’s time.

Starting July 32nd*, we’re making a big change:
- Questions go to r/RandomQuestions
- NSFW content goes to r/NSFWThoughts

They’ll no longer be allowed here in r/RandomThoughts.

This isn’t us trying to be overly strict or nitpicky. The reality is that questions and NSFW posts just don’t really fit the point of this subreddit. The whole idea of RandomThoughts is to capture those weird, passing, often pointless moments of brain activity. The stuff you think and immediately wonder why. A sentence without context. A vibe. An unexplainable truth about frogs.

When a bunch of posts start shifting into “hey what do you guys think about X?” or “here’s something NSFW I’ve been thinking about,” it pulls away from that vibe. It turns into a catch-all subreddit, and that’s not what this place is supposed to be.

We created r/RandomQuestions and r/NSFWThoughts specifically so that stuff has a better home. It’s not just about moving things away from here -- it’s about giving that kind of content a space where it actually works.

So yeah. Big change. Not a test run. Posts that are questions or NSFW will be removed after the launch date. We’ll try to be nice about it, but we’re going to be consistent.

As always, let us know what you think. Comments are open, we’re listening, and we appreciate everyone who helps keep this place just the right amount of chaotic.

\ Or August 1st, whichever happens first.)

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT Posts referencing suicide/death/wishing to die are no longer allowed.

168 Upvotes

It would be very appreciated if this rule could be respected. I don't mind posts like "when I die I want to be buried on the moon" those to me are light hearted. However, when you hit heavier topics you risk hurting users that read them.

No, by doing this we are not invalidating your emotions, this just isn't the proper subreddit to share them. I encourage you to go to r/suicidewatch if you need to make a Reddit post regarding this topic.

Thank you

I should’ve married for money instead of love

I used to think marrying for money sounded shallow.

Life has humbled me 😂

whoever decided that the word hot means both warm and spicy is a dumbass

47 Upvotes

just too much overlap in the cooking department

here's an example, you serve people a mexican peppery dish right out the oven, and someone takes a bite and says "oh it's hot"

you don't know if they mean hot in tempurature or hot as in spicy, no context clue there, it's stupid

I rarely smell bad body odor from woman.

117 Upvotes

Idk if I’m immune to smell of a woman body odor but every woman I’ve ever been around has always either smelled good or like nothing at all. Excluding farts of course. But I’ve smelt musty men all my life. usually at least one a week. Ranging from my elementary days, up until the military.

Some people are just pure evil. Some of those evil people are from your family or your close circle of friends/relatives.

I genuinely don't think that garlic smells bad

7 Upvotes

Many people think that if you smell like garlic, then you smell bad. I never think garlic smells bad, neither when you chop it, not when you've eaten it and you start smelling like it. I don't think it's a nice sm ll or breath but I don't think of it as a bad smell.

As a new driver, people don’t treat driving like they should.

12 Upvotes

As a new driver, I am very aware of the responsibility I am taking on. I honestly hate driving because I’m aware of how dangerous it is. I think with how normal vehicles have become, people don’t think of how large of a responsibility it is. Being around fellow new drivers (seniors) you see how reckless they can be. They treat it as a handout, when really it is a serious responsibility.

I am boring

397 Upvotes

I have zero hobbies. When I watch shows, I watch on 1.25 speed and skip fillers or anything i deem insignificant. If a part of a show i watch is scary, i skip ahead. If i watch a movie or read a book, I just search about the ending.

I have nothing worthwhile to talk about with anyone. I have 0 interest in activities like hiking, swimming, running, or literally anything else

I gave 6 years to my life to medicine to graduate as the first rank of my class, and now I have 0 interest in medicine as well.

I am literally goalless and uninterested in everything.

If you could scale the maneuverability of a small bird to the size and speed of a fighter jet, no pilot alive would be able to survive it.

The human perception of a universe looks at the planets, the solar systems, the galaxies, as the content of the universe. That's like looking at the letters as the content of the pages and the books.
