A lot of reddit users, especially those who have recently been permabanned due to the great censorship purge, are just hanging out there now. Not much censorship.
It’s super antifa. I scroll there a lot when I’m in a meme mood.
I’d say it started going hard political around the same time as everything else. February 2025.
Glitter bombs.
Euthanizing pets has always been the rule rather than the exception in my family.
We are all big animal lovers and often end up with older pets that have no home.
When the animal gets to a point where it’s crying in pain often or can no longer eat or walk or some combination of those 3, we usually take the animal to the vet and have them euthanized.
We (my family) don’t believe in making an animal suffer for our own wishes that they would stay alive. It seems selfish.
Some people will keep an animal in pain, alive for a long time.
That’s their choice. But I think ethically, it’s wrong.
Let them go peacefully surrounded by those who love them.
Also I’m pro self euthanizing for the same reasons. But that’s a different topic.
The artist knew exactly what they were drawing.
Door at my old apartment always “slammed shut”. It was heavy and probably the pressure change factored in.
I was bothered by it so I bought some rubber bumper things (sold for cabinets) to help. It did help.
But I never intentionally slammed that door.
It was just heavy and some pressure difference would pull it fast.
Illustrates two ways to combat flicker in LEDs. It’s still there. Just less visible to humans.

Yes all lights flicker. That frequency number is how fast it flickers.
There has been attempts to reduce flicker.
It has to do with how electricity works and the filament in the bulb. I honestly don’t know the details except that some tech has reduced it in LEDs. They say it no longer has flicker but it’s still there. Just reduced.
I’m going to post another image relevant to this.
I definitely cannot use it for spatial perception. I just hear it. And it’s annoying and unpleasant.
It’s not as bad as nails on a chalkboard, but it’s unpleasant in the same way. It’s the “metallic” aspect I find unpleasant. Not echos in general.
This bothersome type is only in rooms. Or at least that’s the only place ive noticed it.
But yeah there are people who can learn to use echolocation.
Because the ears are on the sides of the head, any sound coming from the side will reach one ear before the other. And that delay between them can be used for location.
Often humans suck at this because we also pick up sounds from surfaces the sound has bounced around from.
We typically think the ear it’s loudest in, is the direction of the sound.
When latency/timing is more accurate for location.
Either incredibly selfish /self centered people, incredibly uninformed on the real world, or a combination of both.
I notice echoes even in smaller spaces. Like rooms. Carpets don’t stop the echoes. These echoes are unique in homes. They always sound “metallic”. Like sound bouncing off metal. Hard to explain.
Any room that is mostly empty (regardless of curtains, rugs, carpet) will have that echo sound. But furnishings definitely mute it.
It’s not pleasant.
It’s distorted in a strange way like when people talk through a fan. That’s the closest way I can describe it.
Idk what causes it specifically. I suspect windows.
The glass is likely the culprit.
Also the echoes have a very short latency. But I’d be surprised if others havent noticed them.
That high pitch sound from lights and power packs drive me crazy. It’s so loud and high.
All lights flicker. Just mostly we can’t perceive them.
LED flicker is most noticeable tho. Incandescent the least.
Fun fact. They flicker at similar frequencies (per light output/lumens) but the light drop off is more dramatic for LEDs so we perceive it more.
People who are epileptic or prone to migraines usually are bothered more by LEDs.
Thanks that’s good info to have.
I’m hearing they are starting to censor but that must be kinda new.
Too bad.
It was, as you say, a decent reddit alternative for images/memes.
