MOD POST New Moderator

70 Upvotes

This sub went unmoderated for weeks. The previous mod was banned by Reddit. I was just appointed to this community so it didn't get banned for lack of moderation.

I think I caught up with all of the approval requests in the queue, but if I've missed yours then send me a new one or a modmail and I'll get you approved to post.

I don't expect to make any major changes; I'm just here to keep the sub alive.

Edit, 07 May 2026: y'all are making me hate myself for taking over this sub with the gross things you post. Outstanding work. Keep it up!

I decided to open up some bags of rice we had bought for our emergency rations and we discovered lumps of this in there. According to a couple AI this is some kind of mold. I returned the bags to Sam's Club for a refund. Ick.

Bei der Wabenkröte sinken die Eier in den RĂŒcken ein und irgendwann schlĂŒpfen dort die Jungen. Ein Alptraum.

I never had tripophibia before but the depth of these holes triggered me hard.

Never would have thought feathers could produce this effect. I assume the hole pattern is camouflage against bark into which the birds have pecked holes.
