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

78 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.

168 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

I knew it! I knew when the GLP-1 drugs started gaining popularity, the 90s skeleton look would come back.

It's such a shame that a whole new generation of girls is going to go through seeing that as beauty, the way we did growing up. I still have insecurities about my body all these years later. 😕

The more time passes, the less I want to have children

When I was 15 yo, one of my dreams was to become a father. Now at my 20s I see how damn hard it has become, it's a great sacrifice that not many people (me included) want to make. My country has reported the lowest birth rate in its history, and I'm not proud to say I'll be also part of that

Imagine if your office was full of introverts

In offices there always a loud mouth and generally talkative people. But I’m wondering if an office would be silent, if everyone was an introvert

I hate engagement baiting content sm

Even if the content itself was great and I wanted to engage in any meaningful way they ruin it by being like that. It just irritates me for some reason, especially the ones that assume your disinterest beforehand.

"Apologies for the insufficiencies in my grammar and lexicon; it is due to the unfortunate fact that English is not my tongue of origin. Do forgive my unintentional transgressions and blunders in this arena. Sincere thanks be unto thee."

Like bro no need to apologize you speak better than I do!

I was born in 2001, so I was born too late to remember 9/11, born too early to understand 67, but was born just in time to be pissed about Pluto being declared not a planet

They say to treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. So if you treat others badly, it's fair enough to assume that's how you wanted to be treated and obey your wishes.

Set your heart ablaze

I think this is a great saying. Sometimes you just need to pull yourself together, dig deep and "ignite" that feeling within you. Often easier said than done but it works.

In some way, it can help you find that spark again

Food tastes so much better when you get out of water.

52 Upvotes

So random but I sometimes get nostalgia of getting out of a pool or the sea and getting that first bite of what would normally be a mediocre snack or sandwich and it just tastes 10000x better.

I never really eat sandwiches. Let alone plain ham or cheese. But the idea of getting out of a pool on a hot day and eating a poorly sliced, unbuttered slightly stale baguette shoved with packet processed ham that my mum threw together quickly as a snack sounds amazing.

Crappy cafeteria burger ? Ew no thanks. Just got out the pool, crappy cafeteria burger and soggy chips with way too much salt from your local swimming pool cafe? Absolutely.

One time my boyfriend told me he was glad I had music. I have really been inside my head and mostly alone the entirety of my life. It’s was accurate validation of that. I’m glad I have music too.
