We're a somewhat quirky subreddit that provides an eclectic mix of content, everything from history to philosophy to cute cat videos.
OUR STRENGTH IS OUR COMMUNITY! Please participate!
We want your posts, your comments, and whatever other input you'd like to add. We LOVE the interchange of ideas at Snorkblot. We may not agree with you, but we want you to say your mind.
*****HOWEVER***** Please remember the rules. We don't do personal attacks.
We think of Snorkblot as a pub. Come in, pull up a seat, chat with whoever is sitting next to you. But you will get thrown out if you start a real fight. Our short and basic list of rules is posted to the right.
Also, flag a comment if you have an issue with it. We only have a few Mods at any given time, but we like to keep things as moderated as possible. It's very difficult to read all 400 comments on a post, but we check flagged comments every day.
There was a site called I Am Bored. It ran for over a decade, entertaining the world with all kinds of posts guaranteed to cure boredom.
Then on January 30, 2019, it abruptly disappeared. One former Moderator, Squrlz4Ever, decided to come to Reddit and bring his merry band of Mods to start a very similar site called "Snorkblot".
We tip our hat to the Squirrel who brought us here in our banner, he is our mascot. However, we totally changed the name of the site to make sure people knew this was a new, better beginning to everyone's favorite cure for boredom.
In addition to the regular posts, we also have recurring features;
Open Forum Fridays(Fridays). We kick off every weekend with an OFF party, where everyone is encouraged to talk about whatever they want. The host will also pick a topic for the coming week (the "Weekly Theme"); users are then encouraged to come up with posts in the following week that explore that theme in some way.
10 Images From Thubanstar's Hard Drive(Wednesdays). This is a lot of fun. Every Wednesday, 'Star shares with us haunting, funny, or odd images she's encountered online.
The Glass Box.(Once a month, following the monthly staff meeting). This is a post discussing news about Snorkblot, including what the moderation team has been up to. Everyone's encouraged to discuss the topics raised, mods and regular members both.
Member Essays. We encourage any and all Snorkblot members to write essays about almost anything they feel passionate about. Rules of common sense apply.
Enjoy your stay, keep your paws inside the vehicle, and by all means, have fun. If you like what you see, please subscribe. We'd love to have you.
Want to post about politics? Sorry, not on our main page.
Please, we're trying to post all politics in the Political Megathread. If you post something political on our main page, it will be removed.
There's a lot of political talk going on these days.
We welcome CIVIL political debate and posts in the Megathread. We removed almost all politics from our main page because it was threatening to take over our site. We aren't a political site, and we intend to keep our original vibe and purpose on our main page as much as possible.
For the record, we aren't happy about this rule since it's against what we used to be and hopefully will be again. We like to be flexible, but current politics will break us.
I want to sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart, suggest that if you are upset that some AI is in our posts, please feel free to start a NON-AI webpage on Reddit. I honestly have no doubt you will be over 100,000 subs with your subreddit in less than a year.
As for Snorkblot... it's above our paygrade (which is zero, btw) to carefully screen each and every video for AI. Also, something with a bit of AI in it may be posted because it's well done or informative.
We will try our best to avoid posting anything which is blatantly 100% AI.
However, we don't ban AI content specifically. We do filter the site for many things related to the quality of the post, self-promotion, whether its political, low effort clickbait, a repost, or overly NSFW.
The Mods do what they do on here because it's a fun hobby. Take out the enjoyment for us by having to nervously screen every video, etc. for AI, and the page will go away.
If you come at us with a comment like AI SLOP! we're going to delete the comment. If you keep harassing us because we posted some AI, you will be banned for 30 days. If you harass us after 30 days, you will be banned permanently.
Look sharp both physically and mentally with our own Snorkblot t-shirts, designed by Thubanstar and GrimSpirit42. Here's links for THIS t-shirt,THAT t-shirt,andANOTHER t-shirt!

A previous lawsuit involving Kellerman in Hawaii has resurfaced. After claims against the wrong entity the case was re-submitted and was dismissed with prejudice as it relied on US disability law even though the judge said the case contained no disability aspect.
The Blue Lobster café in Stornoway also says it has had “bother with a certain someone” for years and is working to ensure “the person in question” never enters again.
In Edinburgh Lord George Foulkes has quit as patron of the law centre representing Kellerman, while First Minister John Swinney has said concerns over the legal-aid award should be explored.
Love your work—or I did until I turned up yesterday at Air Studios to do my bit for Band Aid. What in the name of sweet F-nny f-cking Nightingale is going on? All I wanted to do was join my peer group of international stars from the world of pop and rock and record a simple tune which might bring much needed food and provisions to the starving in Africa. But oh no. No, no, no, no, no. Absolutely ruddy bloomin’ well not.
Picture the scene. That’s the one. There I am walking towards Air Studios just as that Phil Collins is going in. I called to him but he pretended not to hear me. Between you and me Bob, I’ve never liked him. There’s something a bit seedy about him. Something not quite right. And those bloody awful records. Anyway, I was on my way in after him when this enormous bloke in a bomber jacket blocked my passage. “Ooer” I thought but figured this was probably just some sort of joke dreamt up by one of my great popstar mates like Francis Rossi or Kool from Kool and the Gang. The bloke said, “We don’t want your sort around here.” I laughed knowingly but he was deadly serious. I told him to go and tell you that I had arrived and that I had come to do my bit. When he came back a few minutes later, he lied and said that he had spoken to you and you had told him to tell me to f-ck off.
It was then that Simon Le Bon arrived with his all-girl backing band. I called across to him and told him there had been a horrible mix up but he pretended he didn’t recognise me. What is wrong with these people? So then I spoke to the big bloke in the bomber jacket again and it was then that he beat me up. Yes Bob, perhaps you should read that sentence again. That’s right, I was beaten up at a charity recording. Your charity recording. How’s that make you feel?
So there I was lying on the pavement when a limo pulls up next to me and out climbs Boy George with George Michael and Bananarama and they all definitely recognised me as they stepped over me and went inside, even though they pretended that they didn’t. You can just tell.
Undeterred (no offence), I went around to the back of the building where I managed to find a window that was ajar. I climbed through it and imagine my horror when I fell head first into a toilet bowl. Now you know me Bob, I’m well known for not swallowing, but on this occasion I had been taken by surprise and I managed to swallow about half a gallon of toilet water and something that I can only describe as “solid”. This made me feel sick but I decided I would press on and I managed to make my way through to the studio. I’ll say this for you Bob, you got some big stars there: Boneo, Paul Wella, Chris Cross—it was wall-to-ceiling talent and just as I was taking in the sheer enormity of it all and chatting star-to-star with various top rock legends like Paul Young, I overheard you tell the security guard to “Get that tw-t with the sh-t in his hair out of here.” All I can presume is that this was a joke on your part that backfired because the security guard in question did actually throw me out.
Obviously if this is all a great-mates-together music biz joke that you’re all playing on me then I want you to know that I’m completely comfortable with that and love everyone as though they were my brother—or sister. But if it isn’t, then you’re all a bunch of jealous talentless f-ck-holes.
And another thing—you should seriously consider rerouting some of the funds from Ethiopia in order to get yourself some proper professional celebrity endorsement from light entertainment giants like me. You’d make much more money in the long run but you’re probably too mean and spiteful to realise it.
Anyway Bob, get back to me. Soon. Say “hi” to Midge,
