I hate these "only a small amount of people will understand" posts
This is a good "I am Very Smart" candidate which surprisingly doesn't seem to have an active community here on Lemmy yet...and I might be just fine with that now that I think about it. It seemed like half the posts there on Reddit either were mean spirited, called out the wrong side in an argument, or were actually smart.
Yeah I don't think anything of value is lost if we don't recreate all they bully subreddits.
They're unhealthy for their subjects, of course, because imagine seeing a post you made when you were younger on one of those subs and reading all the comments about how terrible a person you are
But they're also unhealthy for the subscribers and readers - rage scrolling will fuck you up
Hard agree. They attract people who like feeling superior to others. You can imagine where things will inevitably lead when you put a bunch of them in the same place.
That aside it just reeks of trashy.
“Very few people understand simple and obvious metaphors using common things”
That small percentage? 99
"Only a small percent of people will understand this obvious metaphor."
Same. How are some people so unaware of just how "average" they are?
