This is not a Reddit thing this is just double standards…
Yeah, people act like a site with half a billion users somehow is only representative of a very niche population contained within reddit. I also love the “well I saw x posted here yesterday and people loved it! Here it is today, and people hate it! reddit can’t make up its mind!”, as if reddit is a monolith, they took the hive-mind shit-talk literally. Then that same person will complain when that reddit is a hive mind…
My guy, this is just how people are. You are in a place where the group is large enough that you, in the population statistics sense, are getting a snapshot of humanity.
This guy is full of shit, communities on plebbit start with p/
He’s talking about reddit
This green text, like every post on AitA is a work of fiction.
AmITheAsshole is 99% rage bait and fan fiction. “Am I the Asshole for letting my wife only sleep with 8 different guys, while cucking myself and paying everything for her? I’m totally unsure if I’m, in this Ludacris Situation in which I’m clearly being abused, being unreasonable… PLS BE NICE, GIVE ME ATTENTION! PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS!!!”
Hot take: AITA (and even moreso those “Reddit Stories” channels on TikTok and YouTube) is just The Jerry Springer Show for Gen Z.
Fake, but even if it was true, the problem would have probably been the age change and not the gender change. Teenage relationships and adult relationships have different rules…
Also, teenagers are poorer, so any gift would carry more weight.
Yeah, I have to assume 18 year old women are on average way, way, way poorer than 40 year old men. That’s true regardless of the gender, 40 tends to be a pretty high spot in personal capital.
My eyes rolled so hard on this one lol. An 18 year old woman has 40 year old losers waiting in line to buy them shit. Free drinks in the bar, free vacation, free meals, free shopping trips. 10k a month for “feet pics” on only fans 🤮.
Those are really weird incel beliefs.
But, for levity, please explain what is wrong with this:
10k a month for “feet pics” on only fans
It’s weird that you refuse to actively reject reality. Good npc energy yum. Did you notice that only fans made more than the salary of the combined NBA?
What is wrong with making money on OnlyFans? What is wrong with making money in the NBA? I am now more confused.
They are just mad because nobody wants to give them money to look at their feet.
I didn’t say anything was wrong with it. People just seem to think there isn’t any money in being an 18 year old woman they are all broke lol.
Are… Are you OK?
Are… Are. You ever not on the internet, and experiencing reality?
Experiencing your “reality” that you or some insecure manosphere shitheel just made up to justify hating women, which you wouldn’t know is false because you’ve never in your miserable life actually talked to a woman who was comfortable sharing those intimate details of her personal life with you? No, no I’m not.
Yawn don’t project some bullshit beliefs on me.
And also gay.
Lemmy dumping on Reddit via a 4chan greentext
I’m so proud of this community.
Tell me about those rules. I want to learn!
No. Those rules have to be learnt the hard way.
They don’t really. They are often learned the hard way, because no one attempts to explain them or just acts like they know but doesn’t really.
It depends entirely on the maturity of the parties involved, it’s not really an “older/younger” thing.
But generally, the less mature you are, the more a relationship is selfish, i.e. you want to be in a relationship for your personal advantage, i.e. “i get sex when I have a girlfriend”. The more mature you get, the more relationships go into the direction of “I want to make the other person happy”. You still get your sex or whatever other advantage of course, but it’s much more fulfilling if you can actually give the other person what they need, and temporarily losing your personal benefit of the relationship doesn’t cause immediate breakups.
I’m gonna go ahead and hope that neither those redditors nor those channers ever find Lemmy
The sucky answer is if lemmy gets popular it’ll just be Reddit without the ban lists
I like that many of the people who should be banned here herd into instances that are defederated
True, there will be a lot of self-selection here. So maybe my theory is unfounded
Wtf why would anyone (I know, I know, fake story, but hear me out) gift their USED in-ear headphones. I wouldn’t touch that thing with a ten-foot pole, regardless if it was “cleaned”.
I would gladly accept used but good condition ear buds. If they’re of good quality.
If you change out the rubber front part, then I would have no problem with it.
An incidental exchange of earwax with your (romantic/sexual/life) partner is — how do I put this? — not particularly noteworthy for a lot of folks…
Especially with ear licking being a thing
Incidentally how I learned asmr really works.
I’ll eat ass, but using your headphones? That’s where I draw the line.

Used earbuds are kinda gross, it’s his wife but still…
Are you, like, buying a new spoon every time you want to eat? Are you unfamiliar with the concept of cleaning?
In their defense, properly cleaning headphones is kinda hard, especially wireless earbuds.
Source : Used to work at an electronics repair shop that cleaned stuff, and even clean ‘looking’ (aka externally clean) headphones can have some disgusting junk on the inside.
Username relevant?
… domain relevant?
I was going on about the unsafe for work uncleanliness he was describing…
Not the best joke but I ran with it.
But the outside part covers the inside and is the only part that goes inside. The inside is still inside while being inside your ear protecting the inside of your ear from the inside of the earbud.
If you look at pretty much all earphones and earbuds, you’ll see they have a screen mesh where the sound comes out. You can remove this mesh (depending on the device, it might take some effort), and very often you’ll find an accumulation of earwax. I had a pair of Galaxy Buds+ that I needed to clean when I noticed the sound was unusually low.
Exactly! ‘My headphones are so quiet now, could the speaker be dying?’ is something we got all the time. Most of the time when people clean their headphones, all the do is take a wipe or a brush (if you’re lucky alcohol) and clean the outside of the mesh. Half the time all they’re doing is pushing earwax through the mesh so you get a nice little wax puck when you open them up.
It’s gross, but it did feel good to be able to tell people they didn’t need new headphones, we just cleaned them for $15.
Thank christ i left reddit for lemmy, this place is so muchnicer and better for my mental health.
I haven’t missed it at all
I miss it every day, even tempted to go back. Niche hobbies, local communities, not so niche hobbies…
Only at the cost of your soul
The admins are evil, but the small communities were quite alright. The bigger ones (soccer, formula1) are good enough to get the news and meme a bit.
What would Aaron Schwartz do?
Old Reddit + adblock + visiting a specific subreddit is hardly soul destroying
I wouldn’t browse my old Reddit feed, I would visit a few subs that don’t have representation here. All hobbies and interests.
Reddit, well-known for always siding with the woman in the story (?)
Some subs do be like that. The crowd changes a lot with subs
I interpreted “subs” as submissive men and yes, most subs do be like that
It do fit that too
Lmao I’ve actually done just that before, swapping the genders of a previous post, and people do say the complete opposite even though it’s the same situations.
It’s also not even just the genders. Copy/paste the text, wait a few days, and then when you make the post you can also ‘prime’ the situation by having a few immediate posts leaning one way or the other.
I recently read one where the wife was on her laptop and ignoring her husband when he asked her to look at something. So he flicked a lighter in her face, and then she slapped him in his face.
90% of the comments said that she was completely justified in hitting this guy in the face and that she should divorce him.
Anyone saying that you can’t just hit people in the face was down voted to hell.
I guess it would be nice to have people think equally of men and women, but I don’t think the better way to do it is to create fake stories on 4chan
The story is absolutely fake, however…
It’s satirical. It’s basically making fun of something that does occur on the subreddit. There is very much a double standard going on over there, and this story is a satire of that.
Someone up there ^ found the original post but not the gender swapped version. But it’s still a made up dumb story.
People noticed when the same story was reposted with different characters. The reposts got deleted
Yes, he’d be an asshole for giving her them as a birthday present, regardless of the fact that he got her other presents as well. Just ask her if she wants them after he gets his new ones.
Jeez. The valid answer to this “problem” took a while to find. Even here.
This is actually what the consensus was in that post, but the 4channer was blinded by his own assumption of “men bAD, gIRls gOoD” rhetoric
