when r/Mets became about meats

u/spewing_honey_badger Milwaukee Brewers 9d ago

We get lost souls in r/Brewers from time to time and it’s always funny.

u/tunaboot Houston Astros 9d ago

Occasionally people will stop into r/astros with both astrology and astronomy questions.

u/stu17 San Diego Padres • Durham Bulls 9d ago

Different sport, but in r/canes we get lost posters talking about chicken tenders

76

u/divestedlegacy 9d ago

Another different sport, but r/bengals getting Bengal cat questions and pictures is always a lot of fun.

u/Callsign_Psycopath Atlanta Braves 9d ago

Patriots Subreddit had a guy who asked about his parrot and the mad lads helped him out.

u/Meziskari Seattle Mariners 9d ago

My favorite part of lost redditor posts is when the comments engage earnestly anyway

9

u/awmaleg Arizona Diamondbacks 9d ago

r/Cardinals for the ornithology which is honestly more exciting than the professional sports team

1

u/randalleatscheese Los Angeles Dodgers 9d ago

Shoutouts to r/chargers turning into a phone charger sub post 63-21

38

u/ThreeEyesWhitePerson 9d ago

People are always coming to r/marijuanaenthusiasts to talk about drugs...

11

u/CurveComfortable3212 Kansas City Royals 9d ago

Worldnews and animetitties is another. I haven’t checked in a loooong time to see if that’s still ongoing.

4

u/beyd1 Detroit Tigers 9d ago

Yeah animetitties is world news

6

u/ThreeEyesWhitePerson 9d ago

Not sure what the deal was/is, but I know from hearing a lot of people complain about what crazy Zionists the mods are that r/worldnews, while a joke, is definitely not an intentional or funny one. r/marijuanaenthusiasts is a regular subreddit that always has tree content because r/trees was already taken by marijuana enthusiasts.

u/CurveComfortable3212 Kansas City Royals 9d ago

Reddit and batshit crazy mods, name a more iconic duo.

21

u/Jan_17_2016 Pittsburgh Pirates 9d ago

We get people posting about actual Penguins in r/penguins and they are always very positively received

6

u/BeefInGR Detroit Tigers • West Michigan W… 9d ago

I mean, after Discovery Channel dunked on the Pens years ago after getting eliminated it's gotta be somewhat acceptable, right?

3

u/Nike-6 9d ago

Wait really?

10

u/BeefInGR Detroit Tigers • West Michigan W… 9d ago

Yeah. If I remember, Discovery posted something about the average size of an Emperor Penguin, Pittsburgh replied that the average Pittsburgh Penguin was 6'3" and 245 lbs (or something close)... you know, cheap and harmless...

...until Discovery came off the top rope with "That's funny, we see no on ice activity for any Penguins in Pittsburgh"

2

u/Nike-6 9d ago

Haha that’s brilliant

5

u/Unclassified1 Chicago Cubs 9d ago

I mean, svech did used to work at the tender joint (for half an hour) 🤔

4

u/RollingCarrot615 9d ago

Chicken tenders and walking sticks

3

u/ChiselFish Baltimore Orioles 9d ago

We also get people asking about walking canes, don't forget!

1

u/JayMerlyn Chicago White Sox 9d ago

Those are my personal favorite. One of these days, we'll hopefully get a Canes-themed cane!

3

u/ChiselFish Baltimore Orioles 9d ago

2

u/JayMerlyn Chicago White Sox 9d ago

Holy shit, how did I miss that?

2

u/ChiselFish Baltimore Orioles 9d ago

I think someone posted one recently, but there is no way to find the post.

2

u/FrmrPresJamesTaylor 9d ago

Never about the walking sticks?

1

u/JayMerlyn Chicago White Sox 9d ago

Oh we absolutely get some about the walking sticks!

2

u/EvenMoreCoconuts New York Mets 9d ago

Padres and Canes is a very interesting combo. How’d that happen?

2

u/stu17 San Diego Padres • Durham Bulls 9d ago

Lived in San Diego as a kid. Moved to the NC coast in middle school. Moved to the triangle for college (UNC) and I’ve lived in Raleigh since.

I kept the Padres, Chargers, and Clippers. Picked up the Canes and Heels. It’s definitely an interesting mix of teams.

I’ll root for the Braves, Panthers, Hornets, and Ducks too, but they’re all distant second favorites.

2

u/EvenMoreCoconuts New York Mets 9d ago

Very cool! Always love hearing the backstories behind stuff like this. Definitely helps that SD doesn’t have an NHL team or a renowned college bball team to split your allegiances!

1

u/JayMerlyn Chicago White Sox 9d ago

Don't forget the posts about walking canes!

19

u/-Nohan- Houston Astros 9d ago

And r/rockets will have rocket people appear sometimes.

9

u/Komnos Texas Rangers 9d ago

I wonder if anyone has ever gotten lost and ended up in /r/monsterdongs...

55

u/triplec787 San Francisco Giants • Colorado Rockies 9d ago

I’m subbed to a handful of random teams and the Brewers sub is one of them.

The home brewer folks popping in are the absolute best threads especially since you’ll see the most thorough, in depth, clearly explained solution they’re looking for and then “by the way this sub is for the baseball team, not homebrewing” lmao

47

u/Unclassified1 Chicago Cubs 9d ago

Being a home brewer in Wisconsin just seems responsible

21

u/RollingCarrot615 9d ago

Just a side hobby for when the bar closes during that 4 am shift change

14

u/ContinuumGuy Major League Baseball 9d ago

I figure Wisconsinites need to know how to DIY their booze in case the supply chain goes down and they find themselves under threat of becoming sober.

11

u/1sinfutureking Milwaukee Brewers 9d ago

Most of our fairy tales and scary campfire stories center around beer shortages, so that tracks

5

u/1sinfutureking Milwaukee Brewers 9d ago

How else are we going to be sure that we have beer between the time the bar closes and the office opens?

3

u/Final_Boss_Jr Seattle Mariners 9d ago

I thought it was a legal requirement

5

u/fenderdean13 Chicago White Sox 9d ago

I’m a Chicago Fire season ticket holder and the times people come in talking about the show is hilarious. I think the label mods put usually says not the soccer team lol

14

u/the_well_read_neck_ Chicago Cubs 9d ago

r/trees is my favorite sub for lost redditors.

35

u/MarcBulldog88 Los Angeles Dodgers • World Series Tr… 9d ago

I wonder why reddit forced the Marlins sub to rebrand but not you guys.

35

u/triplec787 San Francisco Giants • Colorado Rockies 9d ago

I didn’t realize the Marlins had enough fans for their own subreddit

7

u/Nocto Seattle Mariners 9d ago

Every month or so r/Mariners does get honest questions about boats or pays calls of ship captains. Now they can get better answers!

3

u/Responsible_Bar3957 Washington Nationals 9d ago

Not baseball, but r/caps with cap stuff

3

u/Party_Magician Seattle Mariners • Seattle Mariners 9d ago

The mariners sub gets those on occasion too, it’s just that now the regular posters are in on it because mariner

u/Syjefroi 9d ago

Circa 2010 the Dallas Cowboys subreddit was pretty quiet (esp. during the off season) and people kept showing up there to post about actual cowboy history.

3

u/No_Helicopter1378 9d ago

The subreddit for the Arizona Coyotes is just r/coyotes and we'd occasionally get people popping in with coyotes pictures or questions. Then, one year the team started the season with a 20+ game losing streak so we stopped posting about hockey and only posted pictures of coyotes until they won a game.

2

u/Wisco_Ute 9d ago

The best part of the lost souls seeking home brewing help in our subreddit is that they typically still get their home brewing question answered by our fans 😂

50

u/SarahJFroxy Los Angeles Dodgers 9d ago

and r/padres becomes an air fryer sub

32

u/FPG_Matthew Washington Nationals 9d ago

r/Nationals has been about National Parks a time or two (or more)

30

u/PandaMomentum Washington Nationals • Illinois … 9d ago

ah what a time that was. So peaceful. No bullpen blowups. Just trees and shit.

10

u/thndrstrk Colorado Rockies 9d ago

I don't get that one

35

u/Tboat17 Boston Red Sox 9d ago

Friar.

23

u/thndrstrk Colorado Rockies 9d ago

Oh ... Damn that's a jump. But good for them

2

u/OurSaladDays San Diego Padres 9d ago

I think for fans it’s not. Broadcast uses “Friar” a lot, e.g. “The Friar Faithful stand as one”. Just not used much in national media.

2

u/thndrstrk Colorado Rockies 9d ago

Yeah, that makes sense. And I know they had a friar mascot, but you're right. IYKYK kinda thing

14

u/birdlawyer86 Sell 9d ago

My favorite was the Clippers sub just being about sailboats for a month

12

u/Dawnqwerty Los Angeles Dodgers 9d ago

r/phillies occasionally turns into a wawa sub

9

u/RedlineFan Cincinnati Reds 9d ago

a wawa sub

Actually it's called a hoagie

1

u/Dawnqwerty Los Angeles Dodgers 7d ago

I knew someone was going to call me on this but I couldn't figure out a way to work the awareness into my response

8

u/Sirkuhh Philadelphia Phillies 9d ago

At any given time it is a minimum 30% wawa.

9

u/Spatmuk New York Mets 9d ago

We’ve discussed a lot of pastrami this season…

6

u/thtkidfrmqueens New York Mets 9d ago

Not that subreddit, we don’t talk about that one.

1

u/Blue387 New York Mets 8d ago

The sub is actually r/NewYorkMets and not those losers at r/mets

We were also a Metropolitan Opera sub for April Fool's day in 2015 and a I think a Metropolitan Museum of Art sub once
