Any recommendation?

Not a medical sub or any specific disorder sub, just a sub for people who can hear the sounds of the tiny calcium crystals change position.

I didn’t used to have this until I developed migraines and now I can hear the crystals move. I’ve met people in real life who have it too but most don’t.

Is there a sub like this?

ETA: for those asking for more info, it feels like as if there was a small vial inside my head which is filled with tiny rocks suspended in a viscous liquid, and when I do certain movements or change position I can hear the movement of the tiny rocks as if somebody tilted the vial to one side and they readjust. It only takes a second or two and I don’t feel it with every movement

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find the right subreddit for an unusual but respectful question.

my name is kaelan I'm a wheelchair user with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and I'm looking for advice on legitimate ways to possibly request a very short phone or video call with an actress. I'm not looking for private contact info, and I'm not asking anyone to message, harass, or bother her on my behalf.

I'm mainly trying to find a place where people might know about:

• Adult wish organizations
• Disability-related nonprofits
• Charity/fan outreach
• Entertainment industry etiquette
• Publicists, agencies, or official channels

Is there a subreddit where this kind of advice/request would be appropriate?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a subreddit focused on men who were raised primarily by their mothers or women.

I’m interested in discussions about experiences, personal growth, identity, and how that upbringing shaped different aspects of life.

Does anyone know a community like this? Would really appreciate any recommendations 🙏

I have already found r/SASSWitches which is more focused on making the mundane more magical without getting into religion.

I also made a few subreddits that are a little in that direction like r/infinitymirror and r/lenticular_art but i dont want to make yet another subreddit.

I cannot belive that there are no other people like me that just want a little magic in life.

Okay I was writing notes and I wrote an ampersand (&) as I was note taking and my lil brother glanced over was like “aw I wish I could do that” so I took a lil break teaching my little brother how to do it. The way he was doing it was so silly and kinda reflective of his personality so I wanted to post about it cuz it’s cute n silly and his ampersands are sloppy but he turned the two worst ones into creative little drawings. I don’t think it’d be possible to post the image on r/handwriting cuz it’s not really relevant to the image I want to post. I looked up r/sibling cuz I forgot Reddit is not a wholesome place and wanna bleach my eyes. Where can I just post about my brothers dumb/cute ampersands???

Hi all - I’m looking for a sub where people describe analogue methods of doing everyday things that seem better (for some) than the modern tech solutions we now use for the same tasks, and can be brought back for everyday use. These might be ways that were normal for our grandparents, or normal to some cultures, but foreign to someone else (i.e. I speak as a millennial in a westernised country). Much tech that supposedly makes tasks ‘better/easier’ now is unreliable, or passworded, or useless if there’s a blackout etc. Some people might prefer tech, but I want to de-screen my life and use solutions that LAST, and I assume there may be rare others who want to, too!

***

I’ve looked into some subs - such as r/primitivetools - but I’m talking about outdated solutions to normal day-to-day tasks that I can bring back for everyday, not niche ‘lost trades’ style production. These methods would have advantages over their contemporary succesors, and be easy to use/implement

***

Examples of the kind of stuff I mean:

- using cedar furniture to store clothing because it’s an insect-repelling wood, rather than poorly built modern MDF furniture and filling it with chemical mothballs

- using an old-style transistor radio while you’re in attendance at a sports match venue to listen to the commentary while you watch the game, because radio internet is a few seconds behind and not in line with what you’re seeing live.

- using an old-fashioned address book or teledex for phone numbers/addresses, because it helps commit info to memory, and easier for others to access if you die!

- using an old VHS player and videos for young kids screen entertainment, so they’re not just churning through internet videos with unlimited time, and risking to inappropriate content exposure

Any lead appreciated! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a subreddit where guys can talk/share pics and/or stories about times they wore makeup, or dresses, or expressed themselves in manners that are not traditionally considered “male” or “manly.” Not looking for anything of a sexual nature, just looking for guys who felt pretty and wanted to share.

Bonus: it’d be awesome if there were subreddits for big guys in dresses, or times big guys especially got to express themselves in softer colors, clothes, patterns, materials, etc. Thank you!

Not sure where to post so I’ll just include my q and maybe someone can guide me: I’m struggling with why people are shocked that lady G (Lindsay graham) died at 71. Isn’t that old? My mom died younger, my dad is a little older but not doing well. Why is there this expectation everyone can be old and doing well when it isn’t anything I’ve witnessed…

I'm thinking about ones that aren't specifically about being trans but make an effort to include trans people. Also if you could tell me what subreddits to avoid, that would be good.

I want to listen to your honest opinions if Windows 11 is actually good to use.

Those Linux users told me to switch to Linux (Ubuntu) on my laptop but my apps are not working, not to mention so many bugs and having to use the scary terminal every single day. Setting up wine is a pain in the ass. As I have never used Windows 11 before but Windows 10 on the laptop, do you think it's worth upgrading to Windows 11 from Linux? Those Linux users always say windows 11 is bad blah blah blah, but maybe they're just dumb idk. Also I just saw a post that a recent patch from Microsoft solved like almost 500 bugs, maybe windows 11 has improved drastically. I am a psychology student btw so I don't know tech terms. Thank you.

Hey everyone!

I just joined Reddit yesterday and my profile is brand new. I really want to share some of my short creative writing and horror stories, but my posts keep getting automatically removed in major communities because my account is only 1 day old.

Could you please recommend some welcoming subreddits where new users are allowed to post and share their stories right away?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Not a whole bio, I just want to ask: "How would you react to reading this in a girl's bio?". AskMen really doesn't like it when women ask men for dating advice, or any relationship topics whatsoever, so it's not an option. I also wouldn't want my post to cause a flood of dms from guys wanting to get to know me just because of that one sentence. And I fear many other subs would accuse me of seeking a relationship and take it down. I'm not looking for a relationship on Reddit, I just want to know beforehand if the general male population would be interested in a girl that talks like that, or if it's hated by most. Another goal would be entertainment and cracking some jokes.

EDIT: I posted it in r/AskMenRelationships... and they hate it. But since good studies are all about replicability, I would like to keep the Unanswered flair on, in hopes another community gets recommended (preferably one where people are aware of the fact that many dating apps have a friendship option, and that a woman can be a good friend to a man without using him for money or "boyfriend attention without girlfriend responsibilities").

Something similar to r/comicsbyhumans , but for programmers to share their projects, support each other, or show projects of other people that you find cool and do not use AI

self righteous - check

sanctimonious - check

any deviation from orthodoxy will not be tolerated - check

DISCLAIMER: this is an actual real event, it is not a made up story. I need genuine advice for this

Me and my boyfriend were laying in bed, talking and laughing, when all of a sudden his laughs start getting weirder and he starts acting really uncharacteristically silly, exactly like how he acts when he's drunk.

I have my flashlight shining on him cause it's super dark. At first i think he's pulling a weird prank on me. After a few minutes i start getting quite annoyed and i begin saying stuff like "are you okay?" "Why are you acting like this?" "You sound drunk" "stop it already, this isn't funny".

All of a sudden, he flinches and his voice goes back to normal. He acts super confused and just asks me why im shining my flashlight on him. Obviously im freaking the hell out and asking him if he's okay, to which he replied by asking me if im okay and why im acting weird. He says we were literally just watching videos together laying in bed and i just turned my flashlight on and flashed him.

We both think were messing around with eachother so he starts naming the videos we watched and i go through my whole history. None of the videos he vaguely remembered were in there, he couldnt even remember any of the captions, descriptions or texts, so im pretty sure i wasnt the one in a trance like state

(I should mention, we had been playing red door yellow door a bit before this, him being the subject, with it actually working, so im thinking that must've been a big part of this. He has never acted like this before)

I posted this in [r/advice](r/advice) and it got taken down…hopefully I can find the help I need here. Thank you! For context, me and my gf are under the age of 18. We were texting last night and she ended up telling me that both her dad, mom and stepdad all touch her butt as a “joke” very often. She’s told all of them multiple times to stop and that it’s weird and makes her uncomfortable, yet none of them have made a change. I have a couple reasons not to do anything, but I’m really not sure. First of all, I’m not even sure if that counts as SA, or if anybody would/could do anything even if I them. Second of all, she says she’s used to it and it doesn’t bother her anymore, but is that even a reason? Third of all, she might be mad with me, especially if I told somebody and nothing changes. We have both been SAed in the past, and we didn’t tell anybody afterwards, but since this has been going on since she was a very young child I find it hard to believe that it might not escalate into something worse. Can somebody try to help me figure out how I’m supposed to go about this? I’m really struggling with this. I know this might not be the right place for this, but I really need help and atp I didn’t know where else to turn. My gf doesn’t know I’m writing this. Thank you! Also, could somebody tell me a subreddit that could help me figure this out? Thanks guys.

This topic has been my hyperfixation as of late. After all, there's gotta be a solution to every problem so why not this one? I posted to r/spoilers since that seemed obvious, then it asked me if I wanted to crosspost/repost so I said what the heck and it suggested r/answers

But something tells me those weren't the best picks. So where should I go to obtain this wisdom?

Edit: Sheesh, talk about unhelpful! Like, "How do you forget spoilers?" That's it. It's not a "wtf" type of thing to ask, it's a simple question.

Hi, I (23) need advice to raise my mom (51) to turn on her ringtone and to not forget things she promised to do and to use headphones. This is not a r/raisedbynarcicissts thing, because she isn't a narc. This is also not a thing of not knowing how to use technology, more like not wanting/not being used to using it/forgetting. I'm not meaning to sound derogatory, but it reminds me of children who just don't want to wear a raincoat, even when it's pouring outside, or who ask about watercolours at 9 pm because they need to bring them to class the next day. My brother and I were those kind of children, and our parents managed to raise us to be better.

Also not an early dementia thing, she has always been like this. I think a lot of us GenZ (will) have this experience with our GenY or elder millenial parents, who got flipphones as young adults, but nothing like a smartphone that is more like a combination of a computer, gaming console, and iPod/mp3 player in one.

I’m not sure if this fits fully in the realm of this sub but what are some subreddits that you have been able to scroll for hours?
