I don't think I've ever posted on reddit but I read it sometimes for fun (like /whatisit). Reddit answers have sometimes shown up on some of my searches about obscure things I haven't been able to find elsewhere, so it has been super helpful at times. Its like people. Some are nice and helpful, some are assholes.
@thebeave That's the one.
Seriously? It happened on /whatisit? I figured it would have been a political or social oriented forum. I have seen some moderator action on that forum, but I always assumed it was for serious trolls or shit disturbers. Why don't you post here what you said, and we can do our own /aita (am I the asshole) forum here?
It was a contraption for making photographs by squeezing the paper over a glass covered wooden box found in a grandmother's attic. I quoted the Who song saying "Grandma's got a squeezebox. Grandpa never sleeps at night." Others followed with more parts of the song (you can guess which) and I got laughing reactions.
Actually, that's kinda funny and fairly benign, but I don't know Reddit's policies enough to say whether you violated their terms of agreement. Youtube is pretty bad too. Words like suicide, murder, rape, sex, drugs are all words that risk getting you flagged. Its insane the words content creators used to bypass the censors, like "unalive" for murder and suicide, "seggs" for sex, "droogs" for drugs, "grape" for rape. They seem to get off treating adults like children.
The "what is it" forum came to my rescue a couple of months ago when I tried to figure what this thing was that I pulled out from behind a toilet bowl siphon jet that was causing a very weak flush. It was driving me crazy not knowing what it was. Made sense once reddit came to the rescue. And no, its not a thing that was originally part of the toilet. Knowing how much you've said you like plumbing, maybe you'd know right off the bat. Those two pieces can connect together.
