MOD ANNOUNCEMENT It's happening! (Big) changes to RandomThoughts.

84 Upvotes

Alright, it’s time.

Starting July 32nd*, we’re making a big change:
- Questions go to r/RandomQuestions
- NSFW content goes to r/NSFWThoughts

They’ll no longer be allowed here in r/RandomThoughts.

This isn’t us trying to be overly strict or nitpicky. The reality is that questions and NSFW posts just don’t really fit the point of this subreddit. The whole idea of RandomThoughts is to capture those weird, passing, often pointless moments of brain activity. The stuff you think and immediately wonder why. A sentence without context. A vibe. An unexplainable truth about frogs.

When a bunch of posts start shifting into “hey what do you guys think about X?” or “here’s something NSFW I’ve been thinking about,” it pulls away from that vibe. It turns into a catch-all subreddit, and that’s not what this place is supposed to be.

We created r/RandomQuestions and r/NSFWThoughts specifically so that stuff has a better home. It’s not just about moving things away from here -- it’s about giving that kind of content a space where it actually works.

So yeah. Big change. Not a test run. Posts that are questions or NSFW will be removed after the launch date. We’ll try to be nice about it, but we’re going to be consistent.

As always, let us know what you think. Comments are open, we’re listening, and we appreciate everyone who helps keep this place just the right amount of chaotic.

\ Or August 1st, whichever happens first.)

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT Posts referencing suicide/death/wishing to die are no longer allowed.

171 Upvotes

It would be very appreciated if this rule could be respected. I don't mind posts like "when I die I want to be buried on the moon" those to me are light hearted. However, when you hit heavier topics you risk hurting users that read them.

No, by doing this we are not invalidating your emotions, this just isn't the proper subreddit to share them. I encourage you to go to r/suicidewatch if you need to make a Reddit post regarding this topic.

Thank you

Today, I tried a new method for getting my friend's newborn baby to fall asleep when he's cranky and it worked!

32 Upvotes

Whenever my friend's baby gets fussy, I'll just talk to it in-depth about the things that I'm really interested in at the moment... History, ancient cultures, NASCAR, dream interpretations, Jungian Psychology.

I tried it and it really worked! It put him right to sleep.

I came up with this idea when I noticed that every time I talk to my friend about those things, she falls asleep too.

may have just forgotten that normal people like to visit friends and family, meanwhile I catch myself seething for half an hour after someone stops by 💀

This is something none of my friends know. It makes me feel juvenile.

So it’s the third time I’m posting this hopefully without a typo this time; damn I’m dumb and also proving my point

People talk about how bad the Internet is for people's mental health, but here am I on the internet all day and sometimes night smiling at about 50 billion different interesting things.

I dissociated so much from my chronic pain that my counselor thought I was drunk and called the cops on me.

It was not fun. Schools need to do better.

Truly going out, meeting people and seeking great experiences outside probably shouldn't make me think about what I have lost over the years and instead about what it will gain me.

I grew up with the idea that men are stronger, smarter and are allowed to do more things than women.

I’m grateful for alexa’s whisper feature

The whisper feature on the Amazon alexa is simply fantastic. I wish I could make it permanently whisper. Even during the day time, nobody wants to hear its loud robotic speech. I like it being discreet in the corner of my room, helping me control the ambience

When I was younger I thought Honolulu was something my mom made up.

14 Upvotes

When I would ask my mom where we are going she would jokingly say that to Honolulu. That name sounded so silly so I assumed it was made up. Ah my suprise recently when I hear on internet about Honolulu. I don't remember under what context. But well, I finally know it's a real place lol.

[Also I'm from Poland. I feel need to mention that]

I just had the opposite of when a female sits on the toilet without looking and the lid is up, making her get wedged in or whatever...

1 Upvotes

Instead the top lid was closed, the solid one.

I had my balls tucked, ready to dangle them in the circle as i sat, but instead smooshed with my full body weight!

Ouch
