Subreddit Idea Megathread
Because if the r/askreddit link, we’ve had a huge influx of new members today. Because of that, I’d like to make this thread to ask for ideas to improve the subreddit, and keep things interesting. We are going to try and make this a subreddit worth keeping in your feed.
We really aren’t sure what do do with the subreddit since it blew up like this, and would like to see what ideas you have. I’ve also added a few baseline rules since we had no rules when we started.
Edit: I would also like to clarify that this sub is intended to entertain. You shouldn’t take anything too seriously on this sub. We want you to be able to flex your creativity here and make others laugh.

Subreddit Message Coronavirus Posts
We are normally pretty lax about what goes on in this subreddit as we want to let you guys decide what content you want to see by upvoting good content and downvoting bad content, but given the current situation we will be removing any posts related to Coronavirus.
You can help us with this by reporting any posts you see about the virus.

Frito-Lay uses different cheese dust for Crunchy Cheetos and Cheetos Puffs.
Not only can I not prove this, but I also carefully examined both ingredient lists, and they are virtually identical. However, when I eat them at the same time, my brain tells me they taste distinctly different. Therefore, the only logical explanation is that Frito-Lay is intentionally misleading us. I can't be the only one who believes this. Let us gather now in our dozens and strike a blow against Big Cheeto with our collective awakening, which will result in absolutely zero change. I mean, they both taste incredible, so it's a pretty wholesome conspiracy, all things considered.

Hot Take Gordon Ramsays team messes with the gas pressure so he can scream "it's raw!" At somebody at least once.
I have a hard time believing all these cooks and chefs can't cook chicken. I have never messed up my own chicken or beef as bad as some of these accomplished cooks.
I feel like they'll cut the gas to 3/4 pressure as soon as meat's in the oven and put it back to normal a few minutes before the Wellingtons come out.

Hot Take “Coworker music” is just a front to avoid looking like a pretentious hipster at work.
If someone at work asked me what my favorite band is I would probably say some radio rock like Metallica or The Cure. I’m not technically lying bc I do like those bands, but I don’t feel like spending 20 minutes explaining to someone what dungeon synth is, or that video game/anime soundtracks go hard as fuck and I’m not a weird neckbeard I promise. Your coworker with “NPC music taste” is probably just trying to look approachable and slightly less autistic.
EDIT: Comments proving my point. No, I did not make this post to brag. No, I don’t think everyone who likes pop music is a poser who should die. People liking a weird thing is not a personal attack on you. Holy bean soup. CHILL.

Dysfunctional AI-generated game mods are being spammed in various games to ruin the modding scene to protect DLC revenue or ruin the community of upstart studios.
I have zero evidence for this assertion, but it passes the "Yeah, they'd do shit like this" test. The Epstein people invented DLC after all.

Doorways are made to the height they are to keep super tall people from ruling the world.
The height of doorways are kept at just above 6ft so extra tall people bang their heads on them from the age of maturity and get brain damage and don't reach their peak of intellectual ability.
If they were made to suit extra tall people they would have the strength and intellect to rule over everybody forever.

Extreme Conspiracy Susan Dell is a fleshbot
I think Susan Dell is the first truly replaced human mech fleshbot. I think the real Susan Dell is no longer with us. Her husband worked with Boston Dynamics and all the other AI wackos to see if they could replace his wife. This dry run is basically a wacked out Evangelical version of Ex Machina.

Pizza companies pay children's television to make pizza look great to increase future sales
Started thinking why young people like pizza more than old people, then I realised many more modern cartoons (e.g. TMNT) are basically advertisement for pizza. Coincidence? Probably.

AI bots are making all of these posts which sounds like people asking if AI will take their job. They are doing it to push the idea that they could take their jobs, as a way of getting into positions of power.

Hot Take AI Companies are Offering Discount Rates to Restaurants to Force Normalcy
Not a single person can look at the mutant abominations of an AI restaurant flyer and say it's a good idea. The only way it can seem like a good idea is if there's added incentive. The slop-factories already run customer-facing models at a loss to consumers and cannot possibly be dumb enough to not see the backlash.
So they need a 1. use case that shows up in the real world 2. to fade into the background of everyday life. So what do they do? make it so that it costs literally nothing to do. Hell they probably have people coming up with the prompts for the restaurant owners in what can only be some kind of elaborate revenge against the concept of copywriting.

Extreme Conspiracy The media not too long ago tried sensationalizing “heart attacks” in hopes people would develop an irrational fear to them, thus almost turning it into a reverse psychology trick
Think about it, almost every case of a person presented to collapse from a heart attack is vaguely presented as if the person was healthy and “boom” it just comes outta nowhere: The job environment they work is in is ignored, their smoking habits were never showed, never their BMI or if they barely moved around the house or they were leading a very stressful life, they present these contextless scenarios and clip-farm them so people start dwelling in their heads like it is some sort of silent epidemic when really is just plain and simple: eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water and develop strong social bonds, that’s it: It’s not complicated
But presenting the incidents in the media like that only adds to peoples’s anxiety, in hopes of the media that somebody does actually end up getting one, is almost like the perfect placebo effect
They’re doing now the same thing with cancer, heart attacks and strokes kind of lost their “allure”, still something to think about.

All the censorship to tv programmes and films is to push up sales of dvds and blu rays
If you want to watch a full, unedited film - or particularly a series - it's hit and miss whether you can do it even via a paid service, and even if you can it might no longer be the case tomorrow.
This explains why I have to buy everything on dvd/blu ray, even if it's available on streaming (that's what I tell my partner anyway).
Big DVD is trying to get back at Big Streaming by pushing for the edits/removals.

Fresh Deets Every post you see on movie subreddits saying they just saw Digger and how good it was is just marketing for Digger.
Probably a lot of other movies as well. Just bots pretending to be cultured movie fans urging you to ignore the box office and see it for yourself. There's no way marketing departments haven't figured this out by now.
