Did you guys know this was a thing?

Borrowing/Lending money on reddit seems like an awful, awful idea.

Oy vey.

The amount of redditors that simultaneously are legal experts yet at the sane time have no fucking idea how the law works is astounding. Almost as if they have tunnel vision for anything outside of The Right Side Of History

[General Emílio Médici]

What the fuck does that even mean? Is this some retarded overly verbose way of saying "you need a account to see this" or what?

Hey all!

It looks like most of you had difficulty reaching the site for about 5 minutes, but those issues should have subsided.

During that time, you may have been shown an incorrect error message that read:

Whoa there, pardner! reddit's awesome and all, but you may have a bit of a problem.

Make sure your User-Agent is not empty, is something unique and descriptive and try again. if you're supplying an alternate User-Agent string, try changing back to default as that can sometimes result in a block.

To share some additional context on what happened - we pushed a bad code change in our tooling that resulted in a significant amount of users getting blocked without doing anything wrong. So if you happened to see that error message within the last hour, don't fret! We've reverted the code change that caused this error and things should be back to normal very soon if they aren't already.

It’s an HTTP header used to fingerprint browsers. View yours here.

Can be used to filter out bots that are scraping Reddit for feeding LLMs, for example.

Can it? I remember spoofing my user agent to bypass my mobile phones anti-tethering detection seems like something that could easily be put into a bot script.

It’s one of many attributes used to both track normal users and identify/block automatic scraping and nefarious activity (e.g., DDoS).

In this case, someone seems to have stripped all UAs before feeding that combination of attributes into their algorithm. No UA would be a big enough red flag to block your access.

IIRC an adult IQ of sub 85 gets classed as "mildly retarded" in my country and makes you eligible for benefit claims, those are some grim numbers under "two black biological parents".

That's ridiculous, 85 is nowhere near too retarded to be basically normal. That's literally 16% of the population.

And if you don't like that you can randomize it or fake it or make up your own with an extension, like this for Chrome:

and you're telling me you DON'T think *at least* 16% of the population are barely functional retards?

Kind of a side note, but NSFW doesn't have to be nudity. I find it annoying that risque stuff is often not tagged as NSFW just because it's not nudity. Leave it a reddit mod to be coombrained though. It's also quite obvious it is some tranny bimbo fetish shit.

Same mod calling some other picture that is what I consider pornagraphic (even though the woman is clothed) not porn. At least it's tagged NSFW.

Barely functional retards are still capable of throwing the fries in the grease or flipping the burgers. And they should have to, because who else is going to?

If god forbid you don't use an adblocker in the current era of the Internet, you can request to not be shown certain kinds of ads, which I guess is somewhat understandable...
except for weight loss. Can´t tell your biggest demographic that they are a fatty now can you?

This is the first time I've seen something like this by the way, "sensitive advertisement".

I'm being super optimistic here and choosing to believe that this is so people recovering from eating disorders don't see something that might make them relapse.

I turned off weight loss, dating and pregnancy and it gave me an admin star next to my name

Images like this really tell you whose running the show over on Reddit.

Entire threads get nuked for talking about the game that sold 15 million copies, more than anything else that came out this year, because it's related to JK Rowling, the "most evil woman on Earth." It brings to mind something more serious, the Nashville Shooter who was a transman having her "manifesto" leaked. Every thread talking about it was scrubbed immediately and anyone making those threads was perma'd. That's not something you do unless you want to control a narrative.
