The Funniest Reddit Posts of the Week

The countless different communities and features that make up Reddit all contribute to making it a platform that, after all this time, is still so compelling. One of its greatest strengths is the way the information it contains is organized, allowing users to easily find explanations and discussions that are often far more accessible than what you'll find on many other social media sites. No matter how oddly specific a topic or interest might be, there's almost always some kind of subreddit dedicated to making sense of it.

Attracting an abundance of voices also means that Reddit is populated by users who are convinced they know best. It often results in some spirited and the kind of questionable advice that is more entertaining than informative. On top of that, Reddit remains one of the internet's best spaces for storytelling, where users openly share personal anecdotes and confessions with a level of honesty that feels like it isn't always found in other places online. Adding to this are the truly unpredictable posts that are (sometimes unintentionally) hilarious, and they can come in all kinds of shapes.

Taken together, we have a strong argument for frequently taking the time to explore the crevices of the front page of the internet. Just when it seems like nothing new could possibly surprise us, another absurd post surfaces and reminds us that human experiences are endlessly weird, and many people love to share them online. Reddit captures this variety in a way few other platforms can, and we have no choice but to respect that.
