Favorite subreddits?

Iosyne

So, I take the bus as my daily commute, and I usually take this time to read Reddit. One of my favorite things about Reddit is customizing my frontpage to display subreddits I find interesting.

What are your favorite subreddits? I'm going to share mine, and hopefully I can find some interesting ones in this thread to follow.

My favorites are:
/r/oldpeoplefacebook - Old people trying to use Facebook.
/r/shaqholdingthings - Self-explanatory.
/r/foodforthought - Occasionally, really good articles posted here.
/r/internetisbeautiful - Randomly useful websites.
/r/wheredidthesodago - GIFs from old informercials.
/r/urbanexploration - for UrbEx enthusiasts
/r/abandonedporn - also for UrbEx enthusiasts, or maybe people who like the photos
/r/cinemagraphs - Those really nice pictures that have subtle movements in them
/r/nosleep - Creepypasta
/r/fearme - Basically where I find a lot of Iosian inspiration.
/r/seventhworldproblems - There's not really a good way to explain this one.

Toz

/r/tumblrinaction - new favorite
/r/shittydarksouls - because the darksouls subreddits have some bad in them.
/r/talesfromtechsupport - I live itttttt
/r/comeonandslam

Areka

./uses imgur because she doesn't understand how to work Reddit.

Moirean

Oh halp. Toz taught me how to reddit and it's been 4 hours now where has the night gone aaahhh

Jensen

I like reddit 50/50

Solaria

Some of my favorites:
/r/gifs - says it all
/r/funny - same here
/r/ConsagiousLaughter - yep, yep
/r/pics - random pictures
/r/aww - adorable things, how can you resist cute?
/r/videos - random videos

I use many others, but those are related mostly to video games and tv shows. So, no need to list them. Most of these are ones I have for when I just want a pick me up.

Omei

Redditor of five years here. I've picked up a lot of favorites.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AdrenalinePorn
Base-jumping, skydiving, excellent low-angle action shots, or just snaps taken 500+ ft. in the air. Fun stuff.

http://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling
As I said elsewhere, I've become kind of a bike nerd.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Cinemagraphs
A cinemagraph is basically an animated GIF that captures a still moment in film, with just a subtle bit of motion thrown in. You've seen tons of them in user signatures all over these forums. They're beautiful!

http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls2
victory ahead, but visions of pointless

http://www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub
Ever surf the comments on a thread and see that someone just went utterly balls-out and explained the living crap out of some cool subject? This subreddit is a collection of those moments.

http://www.reddit.com/r/DestructionPorn
Abandoned buildings, derelict machines, etc.

http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive
People ask complex questions and get simple, easily dissectable answers.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology
Discussions on transhumanism, emergent technology, and how our society might adapt to ever-increasing scientific advancement.

http://www.reddit.com/r/GreenDawn
The Army Men are taking over the world, over.

http://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads
This sub has become more and more of a circlejerk but still remains hilarious and involving. You can sometimes find limited-time mixtapes and Soundcloud links here.

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmAFiction
Like the infamous IAmA threads, only people pose as a character from a novel or other work of fiction they're writing. (@Iosyne this is all you)

http://www.reddit.com/r/IDAP
A subreddit for amateur illustration.

http://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryCharacters
Artwork of heroes, villains, etc. etc.

http://www.reddit.com/r/ironrealms
I made a subreddit about Iron Realms! Too bad it sucks and is mostly abandoned. No really don't bother going here.

http://www.reddit.com/r/LeagueOfMemes
Stupid jokes about League of Legends.

http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming
Self-explanatory.

http://www.reddit.com/r/linguistics
Linguistic discussion: evolving language, dialectic quirks, etc. etc.

http://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion
News articles with headlines that could be The Onion articles, but unfortunately aren't.

http://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest
A subreddit where lots of users (usually on throwaway accounts) write something that's been on their minds just for the sake of getting it out. Sometimes banal, sometimes provocative, often heartfelt and interesting.

http://www.reddit.com/r/photoshopbattles
Probably one of the funniest subreddits ever. People post images with exploitable subjects and other people Photoshop them into ridiculousness.

http://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters
Self-explanatory. Favorite subject of mine!

http://www.reddit.com/r/SpecArt
This sub's difficult to describe. Basically fantasy/sci-fi art of landscapes, vehicles, characters, etc. A good subreddit for inspiration.

http://www.reddit.com/r/TheDepthsBelow
A subreddit about deep water lurkers, abyssal depths, and Lovecraftian horrors in the real world.

http://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue
The premise of this subreddit is that people will come up with a half-remembered song, movie, video game, etc., and give enough detail that other people can help them find it again.

http://www.reddit.com/r/waterporn
Like the other "SFW Porn" subreddits, this one is all about water. Beautiful beautiful water. (@Slyphe lookit dis, also r/steampunk)

http://www.reddit.com/r/wheredidthesodago
I'm not going to spoil this one. It's hilarious.

Also shout-out to @Iosyne from r/FearMe and r/seventhworldproblems! I love those subs.

Mephistoles

@Toz, I'm pretty pleased to see that someone else has found http://www.reddit.com/r/TumblrInAction. It's really pretty insane and a good example of weird, extremist, pseudo-social justice goings on.

Aside from that, I like r/science, r/chemistry, and r/physics. Also r/funny. I suppose I haven't delved terribly deep into some of the more niche subreddits.

Xavin

Amg, @Omei. TheDepthsBelow sounds right up my alley.

Sarita

I, too, will look at reddit on my long commutes, but it's usually in the morning when my phone is freshly charged and can handle that. I'm usually half asleep still, so my list has things that really don't require much thought and that might be good enough to brighten the morning a bit.

/r/animalsbeingjerks
/r/startledcats
/r/trollxchromosomes

Moirean

Oh god the mold saga in /nosleep. And I'm home alone. For an entire week. I hate you all.

Jensen

I sense Spinesreach getting another Spire

Moirean

WELL I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH ALL THE NOT SLEEPING IMMA BE DOING

Aishia

I used to be really REALLY into r/creepy but it's kinda of lost all appeal gone default. The top post now is a cake that looks like a snake r/trollxchromosomes r/perfectfit r/foodporn r/dogfort r/burgers r/sweden(So I can troll Valingar) r/painting r/cosplay r/plantedtank (I like looking at pictures of peoples aquariums and terrariums and stuff!)

Carivah

I don't know how interesting reddit.com/r/boardgamedesign will be to other people, but it's one I enjoy browsing quite a bit.
