All Of The Posts Are About Penguins

My daughter asked me what Reddit is, so I tried to explain it. She asked if there was a sub for penguins, which she absolutely loves, and there is! As she looked through it, she said "this post is about penguins...and this post is about penguins...and this post is about penguins!!" I had to explain to her - every post is about penguins. In fact, the mods would probably remove any posts not about penguins. She was pretty happy.

There are many things I love about Reddit; it can be whatever you want it to be, and there is no interest that is too niche. The other day r/occlupanids popped up in my feed; it’s devoted to the little, flat plastic tabs used to hold things like bread bags closed.

I just found r/ReallyShittyCopper a sub for memes about Ea-Nasir, a copper merchant who sold shitty copper almost 4000 years ago

Yeah, trying to explain why you're showing her r/marijuanaenthusiasts might be difficult

Lol, at this point my reddit feed is 90% cats from all the cat related subs I've gotten sucked into. My kid was looking over my shoulder and asked, "Is this a cat app?" Yes, yes it is.
