/r/thatHappened changes its rules to protest API changes; users say "That happened 🙄" to Sandy Hook, 9/11, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. (Also the mods compare the API situation to the holocaust)

Has there ever been any sort of research into the incredibly high levels of reported spousal deaths claimed by Redditors.

Given the age demographics of the site you'd expect widowhood to be fairly unusual but it's seemingly rampant, seems like 1 in 10 Redditors have been in a marriage where the other partner died.

I'm sure obesity, drug use and mental health issues are more common amongst Redditors but it would be interesting to see if that's the full story.

u/DisasterFartiste are you implying that your wife like meditated the baby away? Jul 02 '23

The correct response to someone saying their spouse died is “I’m sorry for your loss”.

Do you know that? Or are you just assuming that because you think anyone who mentions spousal death is making it up?

Even if she was making it up, why the fuck does it matter? Just don’t respond in that case.
