There was a massive spike of this stuff on Reddit after the Nashville shooting and it never went back to normal.

Whelp, time to pack up I guess. Mastodon is the biggest player in the fediverse right now, so if Meta EEE's us then the fediverse as a concept is doomed.
How the fuck do you think language evolves? People say what sounds better or is more convenient. If they didn't we would still be speaking like Shakespeare or have a dozen different conjugations for every use of a word.
One thing I've been wondering about is that since English is the main language used on the Internet and in international communication, and the replacement rate of wealthier white people in countries like the US and Canada is a lot lower than poorer Spanish, Chinese, etc. speaking immigrants, will English eventually end up like Latin where it splits and evolves into many separate languages while the original thing is only really used in formal/intellectual settings?
AAVE is a good example of this. Despite being branded as "street talk" or even "black people are too dumb to speak proper English" by racists, a lot of the so-called "mistakes" are actually just following grammar rules consistent with a variety of African languages, that held over after slaves were forced to speak English.

Edit 2: Wowzers you sweet summer redditorinos! Thanks for all of the awards!
Oh duh I always hated the names of those subs. The only thing worse are subs like InterestingAsFuck and NextFuckingLevel which always gave the same vibes as a Watchmojo video.
I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.
Lol she does look like Weird Al
Didn't they also make one of the first analog computers?
...no offense but I cant tell if this is just a horny joke or genuine misogyny
