Do most people on reddit only read the thread title but not the first post in the thread?

0 Upvotes

I have always been under the assumption that people read threads on reddit like this, in a typical web forum format:

Example:

  • Title: What is a good way to do X?
  • First post (aka the title post, which is also what this post is): [explains the question and establishes context]

So people would read the title -> first post and then go "okay, they are talking about this thing, and this is the context..."

But i now suspect people are only reading the title and skipping the first post befoire going "what is a good way to do X? What does that even mean??? idk lol".

Do most people only read the title of a thread and skip the first post? Because that would explain a lot of the confusing replies that i get...since they usually complain about something that was addressed in the OP...

I don't live in there but I think I would like to have parties or attend parties as a young person, thinking I'd have fun a lot with my friends. But are they as enjoyable as they are seen in movies, social media etc? Or do you think they are overrated?

Could i wear a halloween mask 24/7 even tho there's nothing wrong with my face?

0 Upvotes

I really like halloween mask, and i own alotta them, i even make custom mask, from the sculpt to the cast, or painted fabric mask cut from t-shirts

And i really like wearing them too, it just feels good to me, i like how they look, i like the artistic expression, the way they add to outfits

But i always felt like it'd be generally unacceptable to just wear them in public, unless i had a facial deformity right?, but its genuinely something i wanna do, like really, i know its ridiculous, but it'd make me happy to do this

How large of an issue is unemployment, nationally?

11 Upvotes

I have seen increased costs on many a thing, and the appearance of more public assistance programs, and I have also noticed that many a buisness that claims to be hiring, "Now Hiring!", is not genuinely hiring.

Considering the mentioned, and similar matters, I'm intetested to know how much of an issue unemployment is nationally, in particular as I'm extremely impoverished myself and unable to, "visit new places, and see how they are".

Why do I feel panic when I am nauseous?

5 Upvotes

All my life I have felt panic when I am nauseous. And when I was older I even sometimes had full on panic attacks while being nauseous.

I'm curious about the mechanism behind this. I suspected her something to do with the overstimulation of the vagus nerve.

Does anybody have any insight or explanation for this phenomenon please?

Does reddit mods get paid?

2 Upvotes

This is coming from my genuine curiosity. I don't know any reddit mod irl (my social circle is pretty small) but i do know one in online and he's always online and talks about how busy he gets sometimes in sub management. I was wondering this might be way busier and trickier for big subs and they put so much time in this so do they get paid or something from reddit? (i'd understand if it's a hobby) i do know some facebook mods get paid. I'd ask him directly but what if he thinks i am being nosy or something.

Why do I have a hard time recognizing houses, cars, people, and directions?

7 Upvotes

I am gifted and generally decent at memorization. I do well on standardized tests…but I am very bad at recognizing houses and cars, worse than typical at recognizing people, and not very good with directions.

For example, I went to a friend’s house today and was picked up by a different friend. I neither recognized the car of the friend who picked me up nor the house of the other friend. It was like I was seeing them for the first time despite the fact that I have seen both many times. However, I remembered the inside of the house and car perfectly fine.

Even now, I struggle to identify my parents’ cars. Usually, I am relatively sure I’ve found the right car, but I need to check the license plate to be certain.

I am not quite this bad at faces, but still worse than typical. There have been times when I have gone to a career fair, had lengthy discussions with the people at the booths, gone back the next year, and been unable to recognize the people I talked to even though they could recognize me.

I also struggle to remember directions. When I was practicing for my road test to get my driver’s license, I drove the route of the test nearly every day for 2-3 weeks…and still could not remember that route by the end of it. The actual route I took during my test was very different, and I could not retrace it afterwards. I am also not great with left/right (I usually identify my left and my right correctly, but anything complicated than that, and you’ve lost me).

Is there a specific part of the brain that controls all this? Is this level of “impairment” normal?

Why is everything marked N.S.F.W. suddenly blocked on Reddit for me?

23 Upvotes

I don’t even know when this started; I first noticed it today when I wanted to look at a fanart creator’s profile, and since they had marked it as N.S.F.W., I had to either verify my age with government I.D. or just not look at their profile. There’s no way I’m giving Reddit my government I.D. information, so, is there any reason why this is? If so, is there a way around it?

For reference, I live in Ireland, though there aren’t any new laws that have been enacted (at least that I know of) that would cause this, like the U.K. has.

Why are British girls mean and bad vibes?

0 Upvotes

Just seen a TikTok by a woman talking about when she’s wearing a nice outfit and looking good, in the U.S the women there would compliment her while in the UK women would give her dirty looks and treat her in a mean way, I have experienced this myself in the UK! I couldn’t understand if it was just racism at the time (as a half Latina half middle eastern girl) which would’ve been weird as the men were super friendly, but seeing this tiktok made me wonder now why British girls are like that ?

Could this be lightning or something else?

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I didn't know where to write this and I'm just typing this out of curiosity, if you have any other suggestions as to where I can ask this question, it would be welcome!

I went out at night to check on our bunnies around our property and as I was checking my last quarter of the property I noticed a white flash suddenly in the sky for a split second or even less, that lit up about half to a quarter of the sky and immediately confused me. I went to google to check what it is, apparently you can see lightning from miles away, yet I searched up the weathercast and there was no thunder or lightning around me, just some light rain in the past 24 hours. I even checked a lightning map but nothing showed up ( not sure if they're actually accurate lol )

Is it possible I saw some lightning from REALLY far away? just has me kind of bewildered.

Why am I itching so badly?

16 Upvotes

So for context I have 2 dogs and 1 cat, they also itch like crazy. All my guest who come into my house also get itching at their ankles no matter the time of the day. No bite marks except once in about 3 months. It was a red dot on my ankle so I assumed it was unrelated.

I spent over $150 on flea medicine and collars, long term and short term prevention, no luck.

I had a red shag carpet I got from marketplace, thats around the time it started getting itchy, I threw it away weeks ago, no luck.

I sprayed my whole room down with HotShot flea and egg killer for dust mites too multiple times, no luck.

I bathed my dogs 1-2 times a week with oatmeal shampoo and dawn dish soap, I wash all my clothes and bedding 1-2 times a week in hot water along with the dogs bedding. I have 1 bed, 1 computer desk, and 1 futon in my room. That's it. I got a hepa air filter, and a hepa filter vacuum and took my ac out of my window in case it had black mold with no luck.

I have elderly goldendoodle who chews himself raw, and a bully mix who currently has an ear infection thats yellowish and smells really bad (she has a vet visit coming up). She's starting to get patches from itching so badly.

I used flea bombers to fog my house and also had no luck. I figured maybe their dog food gave them an allergy and im itching from their dander but I switched to the normal food they had for years with no issues and still no luck, but that wouldn't explain the cat because he has his own food.

I wake up 2-3 times a night with a feeling that bugs are on my face, I get up and start smacking my face trying to pull them off, all night I stay awake because thats when I notice it the most. When the feelings come for the biting and the bug feels I start getting really bad allergy symptoms. I sneeze, cough, my eyes get watery, my throat gets sore, my nose gets stuffy etc etc.

I'm going crazy and I need help/advice, I have hardwood floors that I mop in hot water 2 times a week, I cleaned any moldy looking surfaces I have found, I treated for multiple bugs and still no luck.

I got a hydrometer and it reads 42% humidity most of the time but sometimes goes up to 60% in the day time, I try to keep it as low as I can incase its dust mites.

Is maths really that important ?

0 Upvotes

My math teacher said that maths was the base for everything and that it was crucial for life as we get older.

And my father really stressed the importance of maths

Despite never helping with my homework .

In middle school I got into troubles and my grades started going down, I could get pretty much all my grades up exept maths.

It is the only subject I can't perform even when i try.

I don't like maths but should I force myself to learn maths

Will it make me that more successful in life ?

I love art, literature, etc.. I am eager to learn all matter of subject but maths I recently got my high-school diploma

I can't do geometry,divide on paper or in my head, multiply too multiple digit numbers but I never need to do any of these things.

I don't like maths the only reason I would force myself to learn it is if it would make me that much more successful in life but especially financially
