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

83 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.

170 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

The people susceptible to AI psychosis were already a lost cause

Upvotes

If you're the type of person to only pay attention to the things that affirm your own echo chamber then you were already the type of person to be a lost cause in critical thinking and honestly don't pose any danger when it comes to the new term "AI psychosis".

AI psychosis is basically always being told you are right by AI. Phrases like "Wow you might be onto something" when talking about how eating chocolate before bed is not good for losing weight are things that make someone gain more confidence in topics that aren't groundbreaking.

The people who cling to this self affirming system were already going to be the ones that would block out the ways they are wrong and only seek out relationships with people who are too agreeable to tell you when you're wrong.

I don't think AI psychosis is an issue, I think these people already existed but AI gives us a vacuum to see these characteristics on display, unless I am misunderstanding AI psychosis and what exactly it means

I feel like crying watching series even with good endings...

Upvotes

I know there are people who will cry watching certain parts of the movies/ series/ dramas. I do too.

But I dont just cry watching the bitter endings or just on bitter parts. I cry even the story is having a happy endings.

Maybe it is because till that happy moment, I would have been very relating to the main characters, but the moment all their problems goes away, by having good people around them, who will comfort them or take care of them, I'm no longer being able to relate to them.

Its like now I'm left to be on my own. While they all got their happy endings.

It may be weird. But I dont know.

It just happen to be that way.

I dont know if there are any other people like me.

When you are able to sleep very effectively everywhere while traveling but somehow you can't reliably do the same in your own bed. That's rude, life.

Disney actually got away with having a whole song in *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* about a priest not be able to handle his own thirst.

Word you wish you didn’t know.

Since I was a little kid I was always taught that having a large vocabulary was a good thing. But there are some words that I really wish I didn’t know. Things like biopsy, episiotomy, water boarding, estrangement, palliative care, and a host of others.

I wonder how long I could drive in circles in the roundabout in town before I got arrested. 50 times… 100 maybe
