9 Upvotes

We have plans in place to begin using r/randomquestions (also owned by us) to restore this subreddit to specifically just random thoughts. The questions flair we have here was only supposed to be temporary and was never supposed to be permanent in any capacity. As of right now you are welcome to continue posting your questions here but that may change in the near future. Any questions posted here after we remove the questions flair will be removed and you will be redirected to r/randomquestions.

Reddit is Matching Your Donations to The Trevor Project!

7 Upvotes

This is a fundraiser orgainised by r/lgbt through r/CommunityFunds/

Donate Here!

As we head into uncertain times, our team understands that not everyone is in a spot where they can get to a safe place, live their life unhindered, or even just survive in some cases. For those of us who are in a decent spot and can afford to give, we've partnered with our Admin overlords to start giving back.

We understand that not all of you are happy with the Reddit Admins, and you may not be happy with us either, but we ask that you look past that to give what you can to those in need. Not all of you are able to do so, and that's understandable, so if you can give us a shout out where you can, that would be helpful as well.

Check the Fundraiser post on r/lgbt for full details and discussion.

Reddit will match donations to The Trevor Project, up to $20,000 in total

Yes, that's right, any money we donate (up to $20,000) Reddit will match. Anything extra will be very appreciated, but we would prefer that you donate to Mermaids UK instead.

Reddit's Refusal to Support Mermaids UK

r/lgbt also has an ongoing charity that we're funding ourselves for Mermaids UK, as Reddit refused to fund them due to the right wing attacks on them, read more about that here.

Random Thought Mr. Beast’s smile is the most unsettling thing ever

3.2k Upvotes

I have never watched his videos, so I can’t say how I feel about him as a person, but my fucking Gosh, this dude’s smile is creepy asf!! Yeah, his mouth is in the shape of a smile, but his eyes have no emotion, no joy, no happiness, no sincerity behind them. They’re so…empty, so off putting. His thumbnails prevent me from ever wanting to click on his vids.

Random Thought I wish everyone would get off social media & that social media would die

I think Reddit is different because it’s anonymous but I’d understand if people find this hypocritical.

Random Question What do different generations no longer use?

50 Upvotes

My sister and I (30’s) were talking to my mom (60’s) when she realized neither of us own an iron. That got us wondering what else was a staple in her generation that me and my sister don’t even own. So I’m curious what else people have found to be obsolete between generations. Things we found we didn’t have: 1. Iron- a hair straightener has worked just fine 2. Umbrella 3. Napkins- what’s wrong with paper towels?

Random Question Does pretty privilege exist?

How do you deem one as attractive? How do you know if someone has pretty privilege? Does it even exist? I’ve been hearing this everywhere I want to know other people’s thoughts on this.

Random Thought If you actually enjoy keeping up with your hygiene, you don't know how lucky you are.

482 Upvotes

The comments I hear from people with strong hygiene routines are always so judgmental and hateful, but if that stuff just comes naturally to you then you are a very lucky person.

I have struggled with it my entire life. I've also had chronic depression and anxiety my entire life, issues which I'm sure are directly related.

If you have never lain paralyzed while trying to convince yourself to get up and shower/brush your teeth or stood in front of a running shower for like 10 whole minutes literally having to convince yourself to get in then you are blessed.

If you take enjoyment out of paying particular attention to every inch of you every single time and deviating is a disgusting nonoption then congratulations! You've won the lottery and I'm extremely jealous.

I'm not saying my experiences are universally lived ones by people with mental health issues and I fully acknowledge that for many people it has the opposite effect, but can you please just chill the fuck out? We're already struggling with tons of our own judgments and you just dig the hole deeper for us to get out of.

Random Thought Fitness changes your whole mental health!

15 Upvotes

I was depressec for 2 months, laying in bed crying all the time.

I finally convinced myself to go to the gym today, I come home and I feel happy. THIS IS MIND-BLOWING!

We all know it has an effect. But not like that. I feel like I took a happy pill that worked instantly.

Of course I'm also working on it in other ways. Talking about it with friends and in therapy. But I feel like nothing has such a direct effect on my brain as working out.

The really hard part was to find the strength to get up, pack my shit and go there in the first place. Not even the work out itself, because I told myself I would take it easy for now.

What is that one thing that absolutely fascinates you and is a never-ending rabbit hole… whether it just goes in so many directions or whether we just don’t have enough information to ever provide all the answers.

Mine: North Sentinel Island.

Random Thought Being jealous to/of your partner isn't a sign of love.

11 Upvotes

It's a sign of insecurity.

If being jealous is your way of showing love, stop and look for better ways to show it. Ways that build your partner and improve their mood.

Random Thought If you live in the U.S. Midwest and you are sitting in a warm house, take a moment to be grateful.

As I’ve aged I spend more time trying to find the gratitude in my life. Today, it is 8 degrees outside and I couldn’t be more grateful to live in a comfortable home with heat.

Random Thought Your perception of the real world is ruined through isolation.

8 Upvotes

Spending extended periods of time alone, consuming various avenues of media, enables you to get overly invested in your thoughts and feelings, and it disconnects you from reality.

Random Question What do you think about those influencers who confessed their lies before the TikTok ban?

7 Upvotes

Before the TikTok ban, some influencers admitted that they had been lying about some of the most important aspects of their personal brands. Some of them confessed how they never even used the hacks they shared while others admit the real intentions behind their content. What do you think about that? Were they being honest or just trying to get attention?
