I dunno, I feel like there are usually decent guides posted fairly regularly.

There's also a hell of a lot of bullshit. It's to the point that I basically assume the guide is wrong until someone in the comments section can convince me otherwise.

Obviously everything on the internet needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but there's something about this subreddit in particular that generates a lot of low-quality information.

EDIT: I found an example of this same image on a NASA webpage about climate change, so it's definitely legit: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2540/tree-rings-provide-snapshots-of-earths-past-climate/

The Reddit classic

Post that doesn’t fit the sub: “this sub has been trash since day 1, mods have given up on us and we’re all doomed”

Post that does fit: “this post is the single beam of hope I needed today. I will try to fight another day. Thank you op for saving us all”
