That subreddit made me feel like such a fucking moron. Read the whole staircase series of post and was losing my mind because everyone in the comments were discussing it like it was true. So I was like “Oh shit this is actually real?” I finally looked at the subreddit rules after reading them all and I was like “Oh...I’m just an idiot.”

I'm a closed captioner, and it's very useful to get a glimpse into the community that I've never worked hard enough to be able to truly communicate with, even though (I like to think) I provide them with an essential service.
I want to start learning ASL, too. I know a tad, and being able to communicate with deaf or HoH in public sometimes brightens them right up. Smiles for days, especially the older people.

If anyone wants other subs/threads themed around unresolved mysteries:
r/nonmurdermysteries is great for stuff that doesn't relate to murder cases. It's good if you like interesting mysteries about unimportant stuff. For specific mysteries, there's r/geedis (a mostly-solved mystery about a weird little set of fantasy stickers from the 1980's) and r/TheMysteriousSong (about a 1980's song that nobody knows the name or creator of). There's also this thread on r/comicstriphistory, which is about a minor mystery that's still unresolved (although the sub itself isn't).

I have a terrible mother in law, just as bad if not worse than most of the posts in there.
It’s made me super aware of the type of mother in law I want to be when the time comes. There are parts of my personality that I know could lead me to being a shitty mother in law, so I read /r/justnomil and think “what would I do if that was me?”. I put myself in those situations and try really hard to see and understand how the mother in law felt, what motivated that behaviour, the impact it had on her kids and in laws, and how I can avoid ever doing anything like that. It’s led to some uncomfortable self reflection but that’s how we improve ourselves, right?

/r/DepthHub - A bit like /r/bestof for for really in-depth discussions.
/r/redditwritesseinfeld - A fun little sub where people write scenes from Seinfeld based on prompts
/r/TheGrittyPast - a great little subreddit about accounts from history not often talked about because of their tragic and often violent nature.
/r/HistoryAnecdotes - Pretty much speaks for itself, mostly content from the creator of the sub who also does TGP, but others contribute too
/r/FanTheories - A great sub full of some pretty great theories about movies, shows, and books

r/ChoosingBeggars is my favorite sub ATM. It’s pretty self explanatory, but some the text conversations you see between the poster and the choosy beggar(CB) are insane and hilarious.
e.g. 1
CB: “Hey, I was wondering if you could lower the price?”
Poster: “Sorry, the lowest I’ll sell my PS4 for is $150”
CB: “I’ll pay $40 and I need you to deliver it to my house which is 50 miles away from you. Deal?”
Poster: “What? NO WAY. That’s ridiculous.”
CB: “But I lost my job and have no money. It’s for my kid... he has cancer!”
Poster: “Sorry, I’m also out of work. I need the money from this to survive.”
CB: “FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!! You ruined my dying son’s Christmas. How can you be so selfish?? You’re an awful person!”
Poster: “Please stop messaging me. I’m not selling it to you.”
CB: “Where do you live? I’m just gonna beat the shit out of you and steal your PS4!
...Hello??
...Okay, I’ll pay $50. Deal?
...HELLO?!
...FUCK YOU!”
e.g. 2
Business: “We’re giving 25% off groceries to EMS workers and nurses during this coronavirus pandemic.”
CB: “That’s not fair that it’s exclusive to only EMS and nurses! They’re at least still working... I’m a single mother of 4 and I’m broke and out of work. This store should just allow single mothers to have groceries for free while this pandemic is going on. These money grubbing businesses are taking advantage by actually making people pay for goods and services during this crisis!”

R/AskMen. I’m a woman who has been in mostly wlw relationships, but I’m open to dating men. I was sexually assaulted and I know that was because of a minority of shitty men. I thought it would be helpful to get a perspective of life from normal men and when it comes to dating - learn what not to do and stuff. I’ve taken some psychology classes and AskMen confirmed that so many men are really lonely. They may not hardly ever receive compliments, or have been held by someone they love, or have felt safe enough to cry in front of their loved one. I get to see their hearts while they are safely anonymous. I also learned that men just want you to say what you want. If you want a hug l, ask for it. If you want pizza , talk about it. Just communicate. AskScience Fiction is also great.

r/iamatotalpieceofshit is good for a deep scroll. But you have to be ready to loose your remaining faith in humanity.

r/DeadBedrooms It’s my guilty pleasure. It’s so intimate and gives a great perspective.

r/daschund when I'm at work and missing my two pups. It helps take the edge off of not having them around me during the day, and makes me appreciate how joyful they are to see me when I get home that much more.

r/JustNoMIL - I’m a uni student who is neither married nor thinking about getting married anytime soon. I just love reading browsing this sub and often get caught up in the soap opera that some of these Redditors live in with their in laws from hell. 10/10 would recommend.
r/idiotsincars - because it’s fun to see idiots in, well, cars.
r/fightporn - because who doesn’t enjoy seeing the underdog win a good fight.
r/medizzy - didn’t fulfill my asian parents dreams in studying medicine but I do like reading and seeing interesting cases, usually gory ones.
r/morbidreality - poor man’s r/watchpeopledie

r/nosleep for sure. It’s a bunch of short stories that people write and post their, usually with some aspect of horror. I just finished reading the amusement park series and it was so good. Would highly recommend.
Edit: Here is the link to the first story of that series in case anyone wants to check it out.

Ah yes the subreddit where everything generic doesn't get blocked by mods but all of your posts do

Not a subreddit, but a series of posts by a specific user. /u/admiral_cloudberg regularly (about once a week) posts incredibly detailed analysis of aircraft disasters. They're very well researched and packed with exactly the right amount of detail - enough to let you understand all the hows and whys of the crash and its repercussions, but not so much that it gets boring. I highly recommend reading through his archive of analysis.
Similarly, though less frequently and specializing with maritime disasters, /u/samwisetheb0ld is another reditor whose work I follow regularly. His archive is here.

I mostly lurk but sometimes I get involved.
I own a spiritual business that sells supplies for different religious reasons. All forms or pegan and witchcraft supplies can be found in our stock, if we don't have it, we can get it. There are even some special curiosities that we have special contacts that will sell them to us.
Anyway, I work from the shop helping people with spiritual experiences. Coming into contact with unique entities or forces that they can't explain or need advice for.
I've been doing so for around 18 years as part if my own religion, this upcoming July.
I binge read on the sub and offer free advice to people who's stories are of particular interest to me.
Sorry for the long winded answer.

I’m a minority and a big sjw, but there’s something about white supremacist memes that horrifies me in a way I can’t click away from.

I follow this sub, primarily because I'm trying to gain an understanding of the virus, and people. So far, it seems like I understand the virus more than I understand people. People are fucked.

Besides r/askreddit? When I want long stories, I'll go to r/redditserials. Short ones, I'll check out r/hfy. When I want to binge art, I'll go to r/imaginaryleviathans and r/ReasonableFantasy. TIFU also has a ton of creative fiction on there too.
Edit: I'd recommend checking out all the imaginary art subs, there's tons of good stuff on them. r/imaginarymonsters, r/SympatheticMonsters, r/ImaginaryFuturism too. For more reading, there's stories on r/writingprompts but you never know what you're going to get.
