That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
This makes me thankful to have gotten rid of my pistol as someone with bipolar disorder. There have been so many times I wanted to shoot myself, and I eventually got to the point of holding it to my head while my wife was doing a church event.
I cannot imagine her coming home from such a high and happy time, to that.
After that, I stopped denying my bipolar and got help. Finally.
Hope OOP is living well.
Can we please stop that censoring of names of public social media posts.
When I was 11 we got a puppy and I started walking this dog in the evenings. One evening I heard a girl screaming asking for help. A guy approached me and threatened me with a knife that he will stab me and my dog if I don't turn around. I turned around and the girl has probably been gang raped. Didn't tell anyone, but her scream haunts me at nights
You were a child, don't be hard on yourself.
I could've called the police
worst thing I can't forget.
I watched a man get pulled into one of those giant wood chippers. he was trying to kick a branch into the horn and his pants got caught. before he could free himself it had pulled him in feet first.
nobody was around until we heard the screams. jesus...the screams were worse than you can imagine.
most people think screaming is like yelling, but it's not. the raw emotion and fear you can feel is something I'll never forget.
by the time we got it shut off, it was too late. everything past his navel was gone. his face was frozen in this grotesque mask that didn't even look human.
if that wasn't bad enough, the sounds his wife and father made when they were told were just as heavy as his were as he was dying.
Holy shit...
I'm genuinely sorry you experienced that.
Sorry to hear that. I've heard that scream too. A coworker got his foot chopped off and leg crushed by a hydraulic shearing machine. I can't describe the scream. It's a visceral and unintelligible scream and yet I knew exactly what they were trying to communicate. Fortunately he lived.
Oh my god I wasn't ready to read this
Man that ... Oof. Sorry you had to experience that, sounds traumatic AF.
Good PSA to not fuck around with wood chippers and equipment in general. Turns out that inanimate objects don't actually give a shit about you.
I worked at a place that rented them. Always knew they would kill you horribly at every chance they get. Crazy they'll just rent one to anyone.
That is an extremely reddit interaction.
So much this!!! blah blah blah blah blah blah saying the same thing but slightly different blah blah blah
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Edit 2: OMG I never thought I’d get this many updoots.
Edit 3: a word
I also choose this lady's dead boyfriend
no. a extremely reddit one would be
'at least you had a boyfriend to murder himself in front of you'
"Honestly, he's TA and you should divorce him immediately. That kind of behavior is extremely toxic."
Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Wow this post blew up, how do I turn off replies?
'so you're single?'
Nah, more like "what did you do to make him suicidal?"
r/emo?
Maybe the remaining humans should only post QR codes on reddit. Then the bots would feel appreciated.
Bot accounts don't get context
And the ~1300 people that thought that was a good comment to upvote?
Guess what? It's all bots
Well, that and the very typical reddit crowd that upvotes stuff like that.
Always thought they pushed the "cake day" trash.
Those comments were the WORST. I can’t get an erection. I’m glad there’s no “edit: a word” “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” “I broke both of my arms, but my mom helped out” etc. comments on this side of the fence. Good riddance!
I think the only ones I kind of miss are the "you mean X, Y is" and the hell in a cell ones.
Shittymorph was so good, and just everywhere, you could never expect it.
Yeah, I never really hated shittymorph or the various novelty accounts. It was more copycats who killed every joke.
My absolute favorite was an exchange where someone told a long rambling story, then there was a reply where someone said something like "man I thought this story was gonna turn out to be a shittymorph post." Then there's another reply where someone agrees and says "yeah I was just waiting for the part where he says the thing about how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table." and obviously THAT comment was left by shittymorph. Motherfucker just showed up out of nowhere and did the thing without even having to string you along with a story first.

I bet money rest of the replies are along the lines of redditors going "oh so are you single?"
"I also choose this guy's girlfriend" 💀
I think there's at least a 78% chance that "happy cake day" person works for broadcast television news, as this spiel is right down their alley.
In local news, two toddlers are dead after the car they were riding in collided with another vehicle on I-60. (jovial laughter and big smile) And in other news, watch the exciting finale of Big Brother tonight on KXY-TV at 8 PM, all your favorites will reveal what they were really thinking and find out who will win! I'm so excited to find out.
It's so fake. It's actually quite disgusting. And they all do it.
🤦♀️
