In other news, one of the top trending subs of the past few weeks is called /r/waterniggas, in which all of reddit invokes their n-word pass because they're hydrated.

One of the subs I frequent is focused around guitar pedals and a lot of the discourse there revolves around the toxic masculinity in the gear and "guitar player" scene. Somebody made a joke about how the real rock and rollers play retirement homes.

That's the Coctails sometime in the early 90s (Archer Prewitt on drums, you plebs).
Friendly reminder that some of the great people that existed before the internet soured everything still do, in fact, exist.
The moral of this post is
Archer Prewitt = good
reddit = n00b
Archer's not a redditor, afaik

Threads like this one, which ended up getting locked due to the blatant racism, openly celebrate murder:

wagon wheel pasta holds peas very well between the 'spokes' and i often give it to my children. my favoured shape offs conchigli, ideally with three grooves.

I don't have chicken, but I use rotelle in my "mac and cheese" because it's good at holding onto cheese and ground beef and tomatoes and peppers and pureed carrots
but I don't agonize over whether this is a mature culinary choice because ofc it's not

his arguments were valid but he was a fucking asshole, which is probably why he got downvoted so hard

I had always imagined that wagon wheel pasta was somehow related to the Chinese because of Taoism.

Wagon wheel was my grandfather's favorite pasta and he was actually Italian (2nd generation American). He said it was the best at holding tomato sauce.

Which article?
I had to cut out Reddit, the alt-right brigading was becoming increasingly obnoxious there, particularly on r/China in my case. I think I attracted some stalkers because I mocked Steve Bannon one too many times.
It will be interesting to see how isolating the MAGA crowd will play out but I suspect the admins generally gave them a pass for too long and this won't mark a critical setback for the Trumpist brigadiers. Likely they'll just migrate to other subreddits rather than Hatreon or whatever.
