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

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.

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

Skipping is an underrated mode of transportation

Upvotes

I'm a full grown adult male and I love skipping. But since I don't want people to think I'm a psychopath, I pretty much only get to do it while I'm on a hiking trail or someplace where I won't draw too much attention to myself.

And that's unfortunate, because skipping is a remarkably efficient way of getting around. You can cover a lot of distance quickly, and it's less taxing than running or jogging. I can skip a several hundred yards, faster than most people jog, and not even be out of breath. If I ran that same distance, I'd be a little winded. Plus it's so much more fun than jogging. So it's kinda weird that most people stop skipping after childhood.

I just wish more adults did it. If it became normalized, I wouldn't feel so self-conscious about skipping in public. That's all I wanted to say.

I wish running around was socially acceptable

Upvotes

I wish running around was socially acceptable.
Not jogging or exercising. Just running somewhere because it’s faster.
Kids do it all the time. But if an adult suddenly starts running in normal clothes, everyone assumes they’re late, being chased, or just committed a crime.

Walking is too slow

If somebody told me that I could see a Pokémon that produces electrical discharges, or changes colors, or produces powerful punches, I would be very excited to see it. But if you tell me its just an animal, I lose interest.

I miss the era of those short Anonymous videos. Every time that Guy Fawkes mask popped up on screen, it felt like a revolution was about to begin.

Anyone can share a bed but it takes chemistry to make sleeping the last thing on your mind.

Spinning out on Netflix

Upvotes

There’s a show called spinning out, it came out in 2020 and I find it oddly comforting as the main character has a pretty awful mom and shes very abusive towards the main character who is named kat, and as a fellow kat with an awful mom I find it comforting that the tv character finds some sort of happiness in the end

Grateful Day

Upvotes

Today is a day where I (38f) don’t have to search for gratitude. My life isn’t perfect, finances could be better, but I actually have people (for the first time in my life) that love me for me. 10 years ago I tried to end my life for the last time and damn, I’m glad I stayed. I didn’t know life could be like this.

If I try to talk to my girlfriend late at night about the deep, existential thoughts that keep me up at night, she falls asleep. She says it’s because I’m soft-spoken, but at this point I’m starting to wonder if I’m just incredibly boring.
