You could make the most innocuous post or comment in a hobby sub about stuff that doesn’t matter. Then like clockwork every toxic smug shit-head debate lord on the site is going to jump down your throat. It’s amazing how they pair their arrogance with how objectively wrong they are about everything.
Fuck redditors
They’re particularly insufferable Americans, convinced that their mediocrity is exceptional merit. I used to work with a guy who was the quintessential Reddit dork. One day at work he was telling the epic tale of how he’d lost his car keys that morning. I nonchalantly said, “it’s always the last place you look,” as the small-talk ritual demands.
He started to fucking “well, actually” me before our boss intervened and called him out on it.
The same guy wanted to learn bass guitar, but refused to learn anything unless it was by Victor Wooten, when I don’t think he even knew what a time signature was yet. He was also fond of just dropping random misogynistic comments into casual conversation – but not the normal boomer “wife bad” shit, no, this was Redditor MRA/MGTOW shit, like how “women have a gland in their brains that makes them demand attention all the time.” (Actual quote.)
