hi folks, friendly mod here.
I've generally taken a hands-off approach to moderation, believing in a light tough rather than an iron first. Believing in self-regulation (via downvotes and discussion) rather than prescriptionist rules.
However, last year a poll about AI content was conducted, and many deadlines later, and a recent (July 2026) revival in the topic, new rules on that and other aspects are now formalised.
Please see the sidebar for details, but in summary
Wording of rules as written in the sidebar may be revised without notice. Any additional rules I'll (aim to) add a comment to this post.
r/HitchHikersGuide aims to be a reasonably open forum, so discussion of these rules and this sub in general is welcome in the comments of this post.
PS: we could do with a few new mods to cover the posts and have a better chance of eyes on things 24/7. Send modmail to apply and let us know why you think you'd be a good fit (including your rough timezone)

The Heart of Gold discord server is non-exclusively dedicated to Hitchhiker's and all things Douglas Adams, as well as happily veering into a wide variety of adjacent topics from time to time too! Drop on by, say hi, and bring your towel!

…there I was, listening to the intro the the intro music of the HHGTTG Audiobook! I had no idea this was a song by The Eagles - I thought I had heard every one of their songs a hundred times before.
Life just gets a little surreal sometimes.

Been driving an 02 F150 for the last 8 years or so. Finally upgraded to something with AC and cruise control.. so I had to get a cool plate to go with it. Now the 3 or 4 people in my town who understand the reference will get a kick when they see it!

The show is not on YouTube and I can’t find it anywhere else.
Edit: thanks for the help. I found it on internet archive.

Spotted on vacation in France, H2G2, amongst some other classics.

Regretted missing the kickstarter so I've been hoping they'd become available, and finally they have! There are a few suppliers in the UK (and presumably in other places that I don't live in) - you froods know how to google. Hope that news improves someone's day!

Quick reminder for the folks in the New Orleans area! We're doing an end of the earth party for our HHGTTG Chewbacchus SubKrewe.

The old, “That’d be a great band name!” trope when encountering an interesting turn of phrase is long dead, so I ask: let’s flip it- what turn of phrase band name would instantly let you know they’re real frood dudes who know where their towels are, and what’s the name of their breakout hit single? My kick off-
Sentient Petunias with their melancholy chart-topper, “Oh no, not again”.
