Brothers...sisters...HOLLLLLLLLDDDDD. By now, you've probably been asked by your aunt what a "Reddit" is and why it destroyed the stock market. Last week was probably the most important moment in Reddit history, if not Internet history, though only time will tell, and it's all thanks to a bunch of market nihilists and a company whose whole model is buying old video games from teenagers at 5 bucks a pop. HOLD DIAMOND HANDS, WE'RE GOING TO THE MOOOOOOOON. ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyo...

The Internet doesn't forget guys, and neither do the vindictive lurkers who document it. r/leopardsatemyface is all about basking in the schadenfreude of people whose vocal opinions backfired in catastrophic ways. It's mean-spirited, but typically mean-spirited towards mean-spirited people, so that that kind of cancels it out right? Plus, u/dogboobes wears makeup to impress construction works evidently outside her window for the entire podcast, and Bernie makes a meme. Catch us on https://www.tw...

To absolutely nobody's surprise, r/conspiracy has been ablaze over the past few weeks of American turmoil. So, we revisit our collective favorite sub to dig into a bit of where all the free-thinking ant-globalists predict all this weirdness is going. Needless to say, straight to the reptilian fascists.

In Pt. 2 of our look into the r/antiwork community, we further our discussion by getting a little deeper on the texts that the sub considers its core curriculum. But since it's the first week of 2021, we also get completely enthralled by the week's bizarro insurrection, some of the memed aftermath, and most importantly, where the two topics come together in our silent war against overworking pointless jobs.

This pandemic has done a lot of strange things to our relationship with most parts of everyday life, but it's our relationship with "work" that could end up being one of the most detrimental. In the first of our two-part series on the philosophical subreddit r/antiwork, we look into a centuries-old conversation about why exactly we work in the first place, and what purpose it serves us in a world where many people are now sleeping in the same room as their office. This subreddit is a very intere...

With the PS5's outrageous demand, and such little supply, we're entering a whole new era of scalping. Thankfully a whole new era of scalper retribution is coming with it, by way of Reddit. In this episode, we discuss the new(ish) subreddit r/scamthescalpers, which profiles new and fun ways to scam new console scalpers, which also introduces some interesting narratives around why scalpers happen in the first place, and what empath we should lend their way during a Covid-ravaged economy. Plus, Cyb...

We've all spent countless hours debating who would win in a fight between two entities that probably will never actually fight each other despite our collective attempt to will it into existence. It's fun, silly, and if you're lucky, will generate a real fight between two people who were apparently just one argument about the Easter Bunny and Captain Crunch away from violent blows. Well, if you want more artillery next time you need to outwit someone with your raw knowledge of Ronald McDonald's ...

Are you even a young male professional if you don't have an Eames chair, artisan cocktail bar, and uncomfortable Ikea sectional? r/malelivingspace thinks not. Less cynically, it's a sub dedicated to men making the steps they need to start feeling organized, independent, and enthusiastic about their solo (often) living quarters. It's a great resource for young men looking for tips and tricks on how to feel more organized in a new city, where the rest of their world may feel disorganized. It's als...

In pt.2 of our two part series on r/AskDocs, we read the story that brought us to the sub in the first place, a truly beautiful but painful story of death, redemption, and hospice care. This is an emotional episode, but it's an important one, and truly one of the most beautiful and profound things we've ever seen on Reddit.

It's not new information that America is in the middle of a serious medical crisis right now, and when it comes to consulting your GP about personal physical anomalies, it's quite frankly difficult to get their time and attention. We all know that WebMD is an absolute nightmare of paranoia, and searching "I have a cough, what does that mean?" in Google will inevitably lead to the conclusion that you have a brain tumor with 3 days to live, so we think that r/AskDocs may be the best solution for I...

I know there's a lot of division in the world right now. But if there's one thing we can all agree on as a society, it's that aliens live amongst us and are constantly monitoring human behavior to build alien spreadsheets for their alien bosses. This is why r/humanwatch exists, to speculate on the kinds of conversations that aliens may be having about their human test subjects (all of humanity actually). However, we don't think sub is nearly as good as it should be, so we take some liberties wit...

Well, the election happened. It turns out that America isn't as much as an aging bald eagle carcass as one may often think. Why? Because you can now get a parking ticket for meth possession in Oregon! But that's not what this episode is about. It's technically about politics, but Palpatinian politics, by way of Star Wars's most prolific narc, Jar Jar Binks. In a particular Reddit theory from almost five years ago now, Jar Jar isn't the dumb idiot that people think he is, but rather, a skilled pr...

In this episode, DYR put their day jobs at risk to complain about Lexus ads. We all have a commercial or two we hate, and a commercial star we deeply crush on, and r/commercialsihate is the perfect outlet for the former.

As promised, on this episode we follow up part 1 of r/changemyview with a more thorough understanding of the sub by way of one of the community's rising stars - u/itsyerdad. Since part 1, dad posted a CMV that became quite a lightning rod for the community, so in this episode, we discuss what we learned from the discussion, what we find powerful about the community because of the discussion, and ultimately the topic itself, CMV: The term "White Trash" is under-discussed for how truly offensive a...

CMV : Brad Pitt Looks Like He Smells Like An Old Bottle of Brut. That is the kind of stuff you will find on the absolute powerhouse of a subreddit r/changemymind, where truly civilized debate takes places among the many perspectives that walk the halls of RedditHS. In this, part 1 of our look at r/changemy view, we explore some of the culture behind the very popular sub, some of the commentary, and set the stage for a second episode focussed on our own CMVs (hint, u/itsyerdad's went slightly vir...

After years of being an irresponsible babysitter, u/dogboobes finally makes peace with her deadbeat caretakerdom, and we do a deep dive into the lives of paraphilic infantilism, or r/adultbabies. Much deeper than the fetish sub that it's essentially become, r/adultbabies speaks to the unique way a fetish community ebbs and flows, and u/dogboobes is the god of the land of elder infants.

In this episode, u/itsyerdad finally gets his wish of doing r/meth. Or...talking about meth I guess. Despite the subject matter, this is a really supportive community that feels like the best of what Reddit is all about. But because none of us really know anything about meth, we also discuss its origin story, some of the pros and cons, and the legendary 18-hour methurbation stories.

DYR is back with another heavy-hitter episode from our respective quarantine episodes. In this episode, we reflect on the last few months and a subreddit that's been steadily on the rise as both a utility for all those unemployed right now, but also a commentary on the status of those struggling during the pandemic for non-health-related reasons. It's a fascinating indication of the conversation around UBI, how people are changing saving and spending habits, and ultimately the value of Reddit as...

The DYR Gang is back in Ranch Dressing Studios, fresh from a depressive haze for the first episode of what we will consider our "Heavy Hitter" series. In this episode, we discuss a beautiful moment in recent Reddit lore when r/worldpolitics became a hentai sub, and r/anime_titties became Reddit's premier destination for global political news. However, this bizarre switcheroo, and all of the moderator drama associated with it, can also be considered a glaring example of Techdirt's 'Masnick's Impo...
