The Most Entertaining Internet Posts From Inquisitive Minds This Week (August 16, 2024)

You know that meme that laments being born too early and too late for certain human achievements, but acknowledges the dubious privileges of existing in the current moment? I think one of the most pertinent variations of it is any example that recognizes how crazy it is that we have all this information about other people at our fingertips, thanks to the wonders of the internet. Thirty years ago, there (mostly) wasn't such a thing as being terminally online, or knowing intimate and wild details about strangers that we'd never met and who weren't even famous. Things couldn't be more different now, and Reddit is one of those places that has helped to facilitate that change. It's a site that has something for everyone, if you're willing to look. Just in case you're too lazy for that, we've collected some of the more amusing recent tidbits here. You never know what you might find if you scroll for long enough.
