    This is the most blatant proof for me that reddit is completely subsumed by bots and corporate interests. It used to be routinely overrun by random stuff like this.

    Large groups of people on the internet get weird for no reason. It’s a marker of health for a community, like monitoring salamander populations in a stream.

    You wanna be part of the in-group? You gotta wear the silly hat and do the dance! Why? Because we all do it ofcourse! Shows youre part of the in-group! :D

    Human sociality is fun an arbitrary and yet with filled with meaning and purpose

    To the milk powder, and the beans, and all the other dumb little in jokes!

    This is the first time it happened where I think I saw the original post before it became a thing, and then I stepped away for a while and when I came back I see… this…

    I didn’t even know it had become a thing so I had to back out to my all feed, and lo and behold, it became a thing.
