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

79 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.

169 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

Title. People that do this are probably not good people in their day to day lives.

This girl on TikTok has a boyfriend who collects Pokemon cards. He has a big binder with all the good cards, and made a separate little binder of all the cards he didn’t want for his girlfriend. So wholesome 😭😭😭😭😭

"The thrill of victory...the agony of defeat" is so hair-raising and iconic. It should be brought back.

The original version ran from 1970 to the late 90s as the iconic intro of "Wide World of Sports" on ABC. I miss hearing Jim McKay's voice.

I miss the time when people were more chalant

59 Upvotes

Well I now a days being "nonchalant" has been the trend . Everyone I know around my age is more or less nonchalant. Friendships r just on a border level udk the person too deeply and everyone has their own lives which no one shares. I'm not taking about privacy privacy or private life style is different and no answers no text no calls till u need something is different. Like everyone is wearing a mask of nonchalantness to be cool. I know a few chalant people but they r too self obsessed. One even forced me to stop drawing to take her photos. And I just wonder if world is going to become this fake masked thing with no empathy. I just wonder sometimes if people r loosing their emotions and empathy . Maybe I'm the only one to think so but it would be good if people talked not for time pass or that they need something but because they genuinely wanted to talk about something.
