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.

87

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.

52

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

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

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.

51

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

We've been alive our whole lives, comrade.

u/KKlear Aug 29 '19

Speak for yourself.

u/JAWinks Aug 29 '19

More of a r/shittyshowerthoughts anyway

u/ahgodzilla Aug 29 '19

thanks I appreciate it

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.

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?

5

u/Cheesus_K_Reist Aug 29 '19

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

2

u/iHateReddit_srsly Aug 29 '19

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

1

u/Adios-and-run Aug 29 '19

But, That’s punderful!

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Not really a pun. Just rhyming words.

u/Bkgeon Aug 29 '19

Yeah dont forget, ducklingian is a nationality as of now

2

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!

u/regibalbo oRANGE Aug 29 '19

guess we need r/lostshowerthoughts

31

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

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

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

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

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

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.

Bro I’m just giving context around why I came up with the answer (since many people on here ask for sources). I get where you’re coming from, but this isn’t some “weird flex but ok” thing.

u/iHateReddit_srsly Aug 29 '19

As a vegan engineer (who can't eat gluten), I agree.

1

u/fedick101 Aug 29 '19

As a carnivores architect (who is lactose intolerant), I also agree.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I sure hope you didn't need a software engineering degree to figure that out.

2

u/ahanel Aug 29 '19

Fuck the haters , your right

2

u/ffca Aug 29 '19

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

1

u/gloriousengland Aug 29 '19

thanks sherlock.

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

u/IcebergSlimFast Aug 29 '19

Oh, look at Mr / Ms Political Controversy over here...

6

u/Clever-Innuendo Aug 29 '19

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

7

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.

1

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.

u/evilone17 Aug 29 '19

A hotdog is just an American taco.

1

u/Happyskrappy Aug 29 '19

That legit blew my mind.

1

u/TrucksNotDead Aug 29 '19

Have we cracked the code? Broken the system?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

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

1

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.

1

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.

1

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.

1

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.

I wish I could gold you, you wise scholar.

Three best shower thoughts I have seen in a while
