Welcome back, us. We've been away for a few weeks, but we're back and ready to fall into a deep, legal, opiate-induced euphoria with all of you sweet listeners. As is well documented on this podcast, we here at DYR (and when I say we, I mean u/dogboobes) have a certain fascination with strange substances, particularly if they help numb the waking reality of this alien simulation we call life...
Obviously we all know that everything is a lie and the world is an alien hologram that we're making decisions in against our will, but this week pretty much removed any reasonable doubt. Not only did Cambridge Analytica's involvement in the 2016 elections prove to all of us that we're basically just human excel spreadsheets, but the world's most confusing and alluring low-bro Internet personality, Timmy Thick, was revealed to be none other than a Harvard social study all along...
Now that u/itsyerdad is over his chest cold, we finally get to do the episode we've been teasing for the better half of the month, r/fragsplits. Somewhat like the Reddit Secret Santa, r/fragsplits turns the digital world of Reddit physical by creating a community where different users buy super expensive niche perfumes, then send tiny 10ml to 25ml bottles to "splitees" eager to try these exotic niche perfumes at a much more reasonable quantity and price...
If you've been listening to DYR for a while, then you know that we (and when I say we I mean u/dogboobes) can be pretty anxious people. It permeates our every day existence, and in our increasingly wtf times (r/PeakAmerica), anxiety is is about as omnipresent as hillary4prison on 4chan...
Hey guys, it's episode 69 (r/im14andthisisfunny), which means it's time for us to finally explore a topic from Reddit's wonderful web of NSFW subs. So, this week, we voluntarily destroy our childhoods while simultaneously testing our sexual proclivities for anthropomorphic inanimate objects, with r/Rule34\. What's Rule 34? Great question. Probably the most famous of Reddit's semi-formal rules of the Internet, Rule34 states that if it exists, there's a porn of it...
Last week, one of Reddit's newest and most exciting new subs got banned. RIP r/deepfakes, the once home to an Internet-wide attempt to put Nicolas Cage in every movie ever made, turned into every 15-35 year-old dude's treasure trove to their favorite celebrity's fake convincing fake porn leak...
Hey guys, we're a few days late posting this pod because I (itsyerdad) is Montreal for the week, which is totally lame because Canada is a super rude and disorganized country. PSYCH, Canada rules. But that's a great example of the kind of thing you'd find on r/unpopularopinions. It's not a place designed exclusively for contrarian thoughts, but is a perfect sub for you to let those insecure thoughts flow that fly in the face of the majority rule...
For some reason, 66 episodes in, we're just not doing r/showerthoughts. But you know what, because r/showerthoughts is such a damn goldmine of beautiful brain nuggets, it also probably won't be the last time we do r/showerthoughts either. If you're an Internet novice, and unfamiliar with a shower thought, it's basically that tiny momentary epiphany that wanders into your brain when you're doing something mindless and banal like taking a shower, doing the dishes, or boiling noodles...
Sometimes, you just gotta get something off your chest. Maybe it's something that's been eating at your soul ever since you were a teen. Maybe it's so embarrassing and pathetic that you've been trying to keep it submerged in your deep self-conscious hoping that your brain would finally disregard it. Or maybe your family is literally the only household in the world with a poop knife...
Remember the early 2000s when all the coolest kids wore Chad Muska's weed concealing éS shoes, Tony Hawk's pro skater taught every teenager how to break their ankles trying to do a Christ Air, and Blink 182 was the world's (or maybe just the midwest's) most important band? Well 2/3 of us certainly do...
