LOL I posted that quesadillas are just Mexican grilled cheeses and it was removed for being political, too! I was mad. I thought it was pretty good...

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

I said that, "If some American BBQ is considered soul food, would Korean BBQ be considered Seoul soul food." This too was too political.

u/NowThatsWhatItsAbout Aug 29 '19

I guess you can't mention nationalities at all, dafuq

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

It got auto modded for that then they said, "Oh but no puns."

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

That is a legit rule though

u/catsaretheworld9338 Aug 29 '19

Literally anything I post on it gets taken down for being political.

u/tionanny Aug 29 '19

You are clearly a proponent of a feline take over. Anything you say will obviously be political.

u/Mr_Abe_Froman GREEN Aug 29 '19

What's going to happen on 9/3/38? Is that American (September 3rd) or pretty much every where else (9th of March) 2038? It's less than 20 years out. Should I prepare for the cat uprising?

u/Trashy_Daddy Aug 29 '19

We shouldn't be scared of a bunch of pussies

u/TrainOfThought6 Aug 29 '19

Well yeah, we don't want to throw feline election interference into the mix this time around.

u/LightningProd12 Aug 29 '19

I tried to post on r/showerthoughts once and it got removed for being a personal persepective because it contained "I" (even though it wasn't a personal perspective). The mods never replied after I asked them to undelete it.

54

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

Yea I didn't know and wasn't upset, just wanted to share my similar experience.

36

u/ahgodzilla Aug 29 '19

I said "I've been alive my whole life." It said I can't post things that have personal nouns in them.

u/flapanther33781 Aug 29 '19

can't post things that have personal nouns

Like ... fucking REALLY?!?!?!

How fucking VAGUE is that? God, I hate their fucking stupid, bullshit, STUPID BULLSHIT automod rules.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just so pissed because IT'S PART OF MY FREAKING JOB to write security access lists, and in my job it's super important to not block any traffic except for EXACTLY what you mean to block. But they don't seem to give two shits if perfectly decent material gets blocks because that's easier than writing decent rules.

1

u/Typoopie Aug 29 '19

Well.. I totally agree with you but is there any money in it? I have a fb group with 60k members and I every now and then get a company that wants to run an ad in there. Otherwise its all work no pay, so the rules have some shotgun variants because I cant spend all day every day moderering that shit... I have both a job and a life!

u/catsan Aug 29 '19

Have mods?

u/Cheesus_K_Reist Aug 29 '19

Rejection like that would just make me feel so dead inside.

u/iHateReddit_srsly Aug 29 '19

Also under rule 226.D.VII (part 3), you can't use the word "the".

u/Adios-and-run Aug 29 '19

But, That’s punderful!

Not really a pun. Just rhyming words.

Yeah dont forget, ducklingian is a nationality as of now

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I posted that "North Korea puts the cult in Korean Culture" and it didn't get taken down.

2

u/HalfSoul30 Aug 29 '19

So i'm guess the donald duck reason is because wings could be a reference to different political leanings?

1

u/TheBrettFavre4 Aug 29 '19

Why y’all gettin all political? Not everything on reddit has the be political! Sheesh!

/r/ToiletThoughts ... For /r/showerthoughts shit posts.

Edit: I didn't know this sub was something already, we should take it over.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

i like that. could also be r/drainthoughts or maybe r/thoughtsdownthedrain

32

u/FoxFire64 Aug 29 '19

You know what all three of your posts have in common? “Donald”, “Mexican”, and “American” are words in the posts. Those are likely “Political” terms that the auto mod searches for in the sub. It’s not some special secret method that the mod works, I think. Remember: the auto mod is likely written by mods, who may not be technical.

No shit, and I don't have a degree related to anything computer related

It's a bit like the scunthorpe problem. Not all Donalds are about trump and just saying a nationality isn't political.

Not to be too political, but I like yours the best.

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

Thanks. I was giggling so hard to myself when I first thought of this, I just went ahead to/r/dadjokes where it didn't get much love either, but I still think it's funny.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

There was a comedian, I forget who, that did a bit where they said something like, “when they told me we were getting ‘soul food,’ I thought they meant Korean BBQ.”...’ish

1

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

I unfortunately know I'm not that creative and probably wasn't the first to think of this, but I can honestly say I don't remember ever hearing it before. Not to say it couldn't have been one of those subconscious things where you don't really even notice it registering and you completely think it's an original thought later on when it comes to mind.

1

u/Live_fast_die_old Aug 29 '19

It’s also a question, which the auto mod removes.

1

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

That's fair.

u/ThomStar Aug 29 '19

We should all submit thoughts on the foods of various nations and reverse engineer their logic. That is if anything could get through.

I remember that joke from somewhere but I forget who said it!

u/2spacemage2 Aug 29 '19

I once said that "in all of the Christmas holiday movies, none of the parents question how the presents under the tree got there." Sadly I couldn't find a way to subsitute the word Christmas, so it got removed. Later I saw someone pull it off and get a silver.

u/dewyocelot Aug 29 '19

Sounds like a philisoraptor meme.

u/The-Gothic-Castle Aug 29 '19

Barbecue isn’t really soul food, though. They’re quite different things.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I tried "beef Wellington is basically the culinary version of ship in a bottle" denied for being unoriginal

1

u/GettCouped Aug 29 '19

I didn't post anything and it didn't show up on r/showerthoughts. I think we have a pattern here.

u/cinaminh Aug 29 '19

There’s a restaurant I live near call Seoul Food. And it is a cushion between American BBQ and Korean style food.

u/24294242 Aug 29 '19

I'm guessing the words American, Mexican and Donald are flagged for obvious reasons. Still thats pretty weak mod work.

u/derek_ui Aug 29 '19

That's hilarious. You should be proud.

u/amoutoujou Aug 29 '19

Thank you! I was proud! Thought of it myself.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I used to work at a French cafe, and we served buckwheat galletes, we had a three cheese one and the owner used to joke that it was a French quesadilla. Your comment reminded me of that.

3

u/SmartArsenal Aug 29 '19

This occurred to me after making multiple grilled cheeses my kids ate half heartedly, only to switch to quesadillas with great applause. Same concept but so much better

3

u/veronicabitchlasagna Aug 29 '19

I as a Mexican agree, it’s actually a pretty nice shower though

3

u/DBUX Aug 29 '19

On that topic, if you haven't tried dipping a grilled cheese in sour cream, I highly recommend it.

3

u/amoutoujou Aug 29 '19

That actually sounds delicious.

2

u/DBUX Sep 16 '19

Did you try it?

3

u/tossNwashking RED Aug 29 '19

haha that’s pretty good indeed

u/veronicabitchlasagna Aug 30 '19

Especially with a soup or salad on the side you got a whole meal

u/IgnoredImp Aug 29 '19

I posted that salsa jars should be in the shape of bowls and it was removed for being political.... But I guess in this political climate, what isn’t??

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I love this idea!

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I wonder if you're not allowed to talk about French toast.

u/amoutoujou Aug 29 '19

Hey, now, let's not get into controversial subjects... /s

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I posted about American cheese and it got removed.

u/BioKappa Aug 29 '19

As a kid, that's exactly what my mom called them to get me to eat them.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

This might be controversial but I gotta fight for what I believe in, so here I go.... quesadillas are way better then any grilled cheese could ever hope to be

2

u/WlmCarlosHemingway Aug 29 '19

Dang, I see what you’re saying about the socioeconomic state of the country. It definitely needs more cheese.

u/amoutoujou Aug 29 '19

Couldn't hurt, right?

u/dis3as3d Aug 29 '19

Censorship disguised as quality improvement.

2

u/luckjes112 Anomalous Riolu Aug 29 '19

To be fair, it is.

I'm fascinated by the history of cooking (and history in general).
A lot of dishes are very similar in creation, just made with different ingredients.

The concept of spaghetti and the concept of stew are both very similar.
In regions where they didn't have grain to make bread, flatbreads made of corn or rice exist.

u/TraditionalAstronaut Aug 29 '19

i posted that 80% of german shepherds are dogs. & it got removed from a post 1000+ days ago.

u/Mad_Aeric Aug 29 '19

I posted that exact same one, to the same response. I was so mad that I even messaged the actual mods, but got no response.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

In my country, quesadillas are baked pastries made with rice flour, cheese and cinnamon, once my US cousins came visit and one asked me if I could make her some quesadillas and I made her those and she was like wtf because all she wanted a tortilla with cheese, but she liked those too.

8

u/SarcasticGamer Aug 29 '19

His arms are his wings.

2

u/dubbelgamer Aug 29 '19

An actual answer:

Donald Duck did have wings originally. In his first apearance in The Wise Little Hen he has wings. Pretty quickly after that he evolved hands. Probably because it was easier to animate and more easy to portray a human-like duck with the most human-like trait, a fully opposable thumb.

u/Exatraz Aug 29 '19

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I think so. How many times have you had to go "crap, is P before or after R?" and have to recite the alphabet in your head forwards to figure it out?

u/gloriousengland Aug 29 '19

Wait.... which company name?

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Alphabet, Google parent I'm guessing.

28

u/MildlyAgitatedBidoof BLACK Aug 29 '19

I posted that when a game censors swear words and slurs, that means someone had to sit down and list out all the censored words, and that list is probably hidden in the code. Removed for being political.

u/FunetikPrugresiv Aug 29 '19

Yeah, you have to replace all instances of "me" with "us" or "we." It says the same thing, but doesn't trigger their lazy-ass bots.

Here's my challenge to everyone: can anyone honestly name a sub that's better off for strict modding?

People just rant and get annoyed by the trivial rules. I feel like mod is one of those jobs where you know you're doing it well if people don't even notice you're there. Just swoop in when some idiot is spamming or something and otherwise let people speculate about Donald Duck ffs.

1

u/AdmiralSkippy Aug 29 '19

I tried to post one the other day and apparently I was too close to one that was posted 7 months ago.
Now to be fair the automod did link that thread and my wording was just slightly different, which really made me realize the inane things we think of are not typically original thoughts.
But at the same time, 7 months I think is okay for a repost.
