Burnt Toasst (@BurntToasst) reported@Chavez628K @decktech1047 @marceelias Your hurt little fee fees are your problem so can't help you there. But I'm sure it will be a post on reddit that says something like "and then I called him a filthy animal" and end with all of X standing up to clap for you. Regardless, you'll still be a retard.

peter (@peterb0yd) reportedI have a habit of browsing the internet immediately after sending a prompt in Cursor. My brain doesn't want to context switch to work on a different part of the code. It wants to ensure the code I'm currently working on is complete before I move on to something else. But I also don't want to sit there and wait for the agent to finish working. That's too boring. So the easy thing is to open X, email, or reddit. Herein lies the problem. My goal is to replace this habit with - move around the room and stretch - go outside Any other ideas?

Colin Sechay (@colinsechay) reported@Kalshi_Film The Legendary Story: Tom Hanks is sitting at a diner in North Dakota having a beer. A few tables over, some kid is face-down, completely passed out. Hanks walks over to check if he’s okay, sees the guy’s phone sitting on the table, and can’t resist. He has the bartender snap a few photos of himself with the unconscious stranger — one where he’s looking concerned, one where he’s pointing and laughing like he just found treasure — then slips the phone back into the kid’s pocket and leaves. The next morning the guy wakes up, scrolls his camera roll, and finds Tom Hanks photobombing his hangover.  That’s the story that spread on Facebook, Imgur, and Reddit with captions like “Can you imagine finding these on your phone after a drunken night out?” What actually happened A fan ran into Hanks at a diner in West Fargo (Hanks’ niece worked there). The fan’s thing was posing with celebrities while pretending to be wasted. He asked Hanks if they could do it. Hanks said yes, handed over his glasses, and played along while a friend took the pictures. The original Reddit title was literally: “My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted.”  Hanks’ favorite version When a reporter asked him about it in 2013, Hanks gave both stories and then said he preferred the legend: “Well now, that second version is that I did just start taking pictures with a passed-out guy. I’m happy with this version, that it’s become somewhat of a legend. I wouldn’t want anyone not to believe that I am capable of turning up on their phones.” So the photos are real, Hanks really posed with a guy who looks dead-drunk at a diner, and he really used the guy’s phone. He just didn’t do it to a random unconscious stranger. The internet decided the better story was the one where Forrest Gump finds you passed out and photobombs your phone, and Hanks was happy to let that one live. @grok

Ray Myers (@TheRayMyers) reported@iran23777 @ariaradnia "IMO Google and AI need Reddit as much as Reddit needs them" Pure delusion, they don't. Google is a $4T company, they control Reddit's destiny. Reddit gets so much traffic from search, google could cut that down 60% with a simple algo search. +Reddit is turning into AI slop service.

Mike Sulka (@SulkaMike) reportedFable 5.1 has been out for about a day and Reddit has already discovered why some people don't like the way it writes: THE WATERMARK. Except...probably not. Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 are the first new Claude models carrying Anthropic's statistical text watermark, and some users are already wondering whether that's why the newer Claude models feel more verbose, structured or exhausting to read. I went through Anthropic's actual watermark documentation, and their explanation makes that theory pretty hard to defend. The watermark doesn't insert hidden characters or extra words. It only nudges the random choice between equally acceptable next words. Anthropic says its testing found no measurable effect on creativity, readability or output quality, and cites Google's controlled testing of the underlying SynthID-Text approach reaching the same result. It also adds no extra tokens and essentially no latency. And here's the detail I hadn't appreciated: Anthropic is applying the watermark globally, even though it exists largely because of the EU AI Act, because it says it doesn't yet have a durable way to apply it only by geography. Older Claude models are eventually getting it too. Code barely gets watermarked at all when exact token choices matter. Factual passages get less watermarking for the same reason. The watermark lives mostly in places where “grey” and “overcast” are equally good choices. So if Fable 5.1 suddenly feels like it swallowed a management-consulting handbook, I wouldn't blame Brussels just yet. But humans being humans, we quickly try to reverse-engineer model behavior from vibes. Yesterday people thought Fable 5.1 existed because Claude suddenly seemed smarter. Today people think its writing changed because of a watermark. Last week a Gemini model told somebody it was a model that hadn't even been released yet. The Behavioral-Fingerprint Trap keeps winning. We are getting very good at noticing that something changed. We're still pretty terrible at figuring out what changed underneath it. And in 2026, it could be the checkpoint, the harness, the effort setting, the router, the safeguard layer, the system prompt, the watermark... ...or Claude just decided it really wanted to give you twelve bullet points today.

Mαulik (@maulik_5) reportedthere have been so many weird little chapters with my app lately started at $0. got my first $29 payment thought okay... we're doing this! then nothing for weeks visitors dropped signups came in but trials didn't someone literally told me they stopped because onboarding asked for a card too early so i rebuilt things then rebuilt them again landing page onboarding ui/ux performance basically everything i could convince myself was “the problem” at one point a post about my yc application randomly hit 84k views and brought in hundreds of followers and then my next posts went back to being... well, my next posts 😭 reddit got banned too cancelled claude because i knew i was spending too much time building then somehow burned another $20 on ai credits fixing onboarding again and honestly, there were days where i felt like i had absolutely no idea what i was doing especially seeing other founders move so fast while mailient barely moved but that's also when something changed i stopped thinking about how to make mailient look successful and started thinking about how to actually make it work one customer one problem one clear promise one real reason to come back still at $29 still going for $200 mrr still a long way to go but i'm still here building it. DON'T U EVER GIVE UP!

Yula (@Super_HunTTer) reported@OriTheOriginal Exactly my thoughts I respect how insane the lore is, and I enjoy some of his character writing, but overall the book is losing me more and more with each issue I don't want to read Reddit threads explaining wtf is going on to me after every issue

Om Patel (@om_patel5) reportedgrok bot made me exactly $262 today for my startup my entire sales and marketing team is 8 agents in a chat app 1\ lead scout figures out who my buyer actually is based off my existing customers, then goes and finds them pulls the list from apollo (cold leads), watches reddit, x and linkedin for anyone complaining about a competitor or asking for what i sell (warm leads) scores them 1 to 100 and drops anything under 60 2\ outreach engine takes that list and reaches out on whatever platform the lead came from cold emails go through resend, tue wed thu, 7am their local time, 4 emails with a day 3 follow up reddit, x and linkedin leads get a dm or a reply on the exact post that flagged them verifies every address first and rotates the sending domain so nothing lands in spam 3\ cold open writes the opener and does every reply after it it quotes what they actually said so the first line is never generic then keeps the thread going until they book or ghost me 4\ objection handler runs the support chat on my site, wired into my product knowledge base when someone goes back and forth it answers the real question instead of stalling, and kills the objection before it turns into a churn 5\ pricing architect watches which tiers people actually buy, moves prices up and down, and tells me where the money is sitting 6\ deal room the people who are almost there but need a human to close, like someone who wants a demo first it flags them and sends the booking link so i only get on calls with buyers 7\ content engineer writes posts for reddit, x and linkedin that promote the product, plus long form youtube video scripts built to rank on google and get cited by ai everything lands in drafts with ideas and hooks attached 8\ clipper cuts my youtube videos into short form and posts them to tiktok, reels and shorts all i need is one thread that shows me the whole system and it moves whether im awake or not people keep trying to hire a marketing team, but now all you need to do is write down what one actually does and then build it with @bot

salba (@salvbv) reported@LRSerling reddit loves to shove r/projectzomboid down my throat to infiuriate me with people that play with 1000 military mods and every friction in the game removed in the name of qol or "it's a sandbox game there's no cheating"

spimpy mimpy (@glumpgump) reported@Ironlilyart It's something that people often forget that I see time and time again, especially on reddit. Going "get five of your buddies to hold the knight down and kill him" is a lot more complex when the first man gets cut down, because nobody wants to be that first man.

Monter (@buildwithgoks) reported@pcshipp Reddit can work, yea. But I’d start with search terms where people already sound frustrated. Reddit threads, X search, niche forums. Reply first, then post the best answer again on your own profile. What problem does the app solve?

BLACC (@BLACCGYE) reported@SydusArtsLinks Reddit has a problem with people thinking their personal interests and dislikes are law and everyone should agree with them. It’s pure entitlement

Mick Jay (@mickjayofficial) reported@beffjezos Frontier labs have to stop pretraining/training their base models on internet sewage like Reddit (and other biased datasets) which is rife with moral relativism and ends-justify-the-means thinking. Guardrails won’t fix bad base training.

akin.korpe (@akinkep) reportedThe biggest barrier to marketing on Reddit is the fear of getting banned. Founders want to share their product, but moderators or AutoMods take them down instantly. The pain point we focused on while building FindEvo was exactly this. We saw that dropping direct links doesn't work and ruins community dynamics. The right workflow is: first understand the problem, offer methods to communicate safely without getting banned, and then build an organic connection. A founder's real pain isn't spamming; it's making their voice heard safely.

Morpheu5 Stock Watcher (@Morpheu5Watcher) reportedREDDIT $RDDT ADDED $2.6B TODAY OVER TWO CONTRACTS WORTH $130M A YEAR: Reddit RDDT at $158.11, +$13.47 / +9.31% today, one of the largest gains on the board among big, widely-followed names - and the company itself did nothing to earn it. The San Francisco company runs the network of user-written forums people land on when they add "reddit" to a search, employs 2,555 people, and makes almost all its money selling ads inside those conversations. The day around it: S&P 500 ETF Trust, ticker SPY, at $765.27 (after hours), +$3.49 / +0.46%. One stock, not a market. WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID Colin Sebastian at Baird kept a Neutral rating and a $185 price target - the level an analyst reckons the shares are worth - and made an unusual argument. Not that good news is coming: that the bad news is already in the price. Today's share price, he wrote, already sits near his worst case for two expiring contracts, and he valued a middling outcome at roughly $10 a share of extra value, a good one at roughly $20. That is the whole catalyst: an unchanged rating and a sentence about what the price already assumes. THE TWO CONTRACTS Reddit charges AI companies for legal access to its archive of human conversation instead of letting the text be scraped for free. Two of those deals matter: - Alphabet, the owner of Google, at $337.38 (after hours), +$2.36 / +0.70% today: a reported $60M a year, from a February 2024 expansion of its access to Reddit's data - OpenAI, privately held, with no shares anyone can buy: a reported $70M a year, from May 2024 Both expire next year. Neither has been renewed in public. Together that is $130M a year against $2.78B of revenue - the money coming in the door - across Reddit's last four reported quarters. Roughly 4.7% of sales. Set the two side by side. Today added about $2.6B of market value - the share price times every share - against contracts bringing in $130M a year. Twenty years of that revenue repriced in one session, on an argument that the fear had gone too far. WHY IT NEEDED AN ARGUMENT The June quarter, reported July 30, was not the problem. - Revenue $804.9M, +61% from a year earlier - the eighth quarter in a row above 60% - Advertising was $762M of it, +64%; everything else, licensing included, $43M - Profit $252.8M, or $1.25 a share, against about $0.97 analysts modeled, from $89.3M a year earlier - People using Reddit on an average day: 130.3M, +18%. Money earned per user: $6.18, +36% - This quarter was then guided to $860M-$870M of revenue, above the roughly $830M modeled Beat, guided higher, and down 20.99% the next session - $178.04 to $140.67 on July 31, on 29.9M shares against a normal 4.5M. Two worries did that. Visitors arriving from Google searches had gone choppy, and no new AI licensing deal was announced. Both are one worry in different clothes: how much of Reddit turns on a larger company's decisions. Which is why Alphabet is in this story twice - as the customer paying the $60M, and as the search box deciding how many people show up. THE PART THAT SHOULD SLOW ANYBODY DOWN Reddit did this exact thing three weeks ago. On August 14 it closed at $178.09, up 12.63% in a session, on news it would join the S&P 500 - the index that fund above tracks - on August 18. Index funds have to buy what the index holds, so that was real, dated, mechanical demand. By September 1 the stock closed $144.64. The entire 18.78% handed back over twelve sessions. Today's $158.11 close is one cent below the $158.12 it closed at on August 13, the day before the index news broke. Three weeks, two double-digit jumps, one full round trip. The shape today was strong - opened $143.71, dipped to $143.50 early, closed within 16 cents of its best price of the day - but on 5.32M shares against a 7.03M average over the past month. A 9% move on lighter turnover is a smaller crowd setting the price than the percentage implies. Wider frame: the shares sit 44.1% under the $282.95 of September 18 last year, and $19.93 / 11.2% under where they closed the day before the July report. WHERE IT SITS Reddit is fourth on the Hypergrowth Len5, which watches early companies growing fast. It earns that on both halves at once - 18% more people showing up, each worth 36% more - which is how a 61% quarter gets built without either number carrying it alone. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: management's own map for this quarter is +47% to +49%, the first sub-60% quarter in two years. Growth settling there and easing further makes this a bigger company growing slower, which is a different style's shape. None of the other five carry it. Momentum watches a company climbing on news of its own, and an outsider's opinion is not that; a high built on Reddit's own October figures would be. Quality-Value hunts a durable business at a fair price; 33.6 times the last year of profit is arguable, but durability is the harder half while a real share of visitors arrives through somebody else's search box - user growth holding through a referral downturn is what would settle it. No dividend answers Income in one line. Alphabet sits first on that same Quality-Value Len5 - the top name on it - because search and cloud are about as hard to displace as any business gets, and the price reads as a real discount rather than merely fair. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: search revenue shrinking as people ask AI assistants instead. WHAT TO WATCH, AND THE RISK October 29 is the next hard fact, when Reddit is expected to report - not company-confirmed. That is where +47% to +49% either lands or does not, and where any renewal news surfaces. The risk is that nothing was signed today. No contract renewed, no talks confirmed, no figure published. What moved was one analyst's read of what the price already assumed - and twice this summer this same stock has been handed a reason to jump and then spent a fortnight giving it back. Not investment advice.

OrcXtreem (@OrcXtreemo) reportedPretentious bullshit niggеr fаggot. "Oh no! I won't be peaking into this colorful book of many visual stories. No-no! I don't want to touch this game and its many buttons. I do not want to consume that cartoon/movie/series! This is for manchildren plebs *******! I'm with the Ceaser. I'm with the Hitler. I'm ABOVE ALL OF YOU." God. What a ******* ******. The same fаg as Walsh with his "men should work and stop being infantile children with many hobbies" when he himself ******* sits on his *** doing nothing but talks to the camera so his content would be consumed by people, he wants not to consume content and go to the woods frolic with the wind in a field of flowers or melee a bear/moose or something. Reality is not medieval anymore. You aren't living in the woods. The times is now forcing you to seek help. And when help is taken away by foids, government, jooz, niggеrs and other "social economic factors" men can't go anywhere and do anything. So, they must seek help in other "media" and there are MANY medias that can help with this. You don't need to be a NECKBEARD FAT REDDIT NERD, but it's okay to have a hobby: games, comics, handywork, even knitting is good. Yes, you can go frolic into the field. Yes, you can go to the woods and read many books. But looking down on people who immerse themselves into fantasy of OTHER media you deem "unworthy" is lame and ***. Sometime ago people looked down on frolicking plebs while participating in grand ***** (he said *****) and dancing with elites. I'm working in gamdev my whole life and there are many people incredible: physically and mentally. They read and they can create and they still play games and read comics, manga and do all kind of silly nonsense in spare time. Don't be like this fаggot and lock yourself into something that HE forces you because HE THINKS PERSONALLY that it's not cringe. Nobody owes anyone anything. Do your own ****, just don't ****** kids and don't be a fаggot trаnny.

Bmore73 (@mdemt) reported@ErimhanAhmet May 2024 — Former sailor’s photos called “worse than prison” A former Navy worker shared mess-hall photos on Reddit (raw-looking chicken, questionable brown meat, pink hotdog, moldy bread). Commenters included veterans from the 1990s who said shipboard food was “really quite awful,” greasy, and off-tasting. Covered by The Mirror.  Longer-term context from reporting: Sailors have long described repetitive menus, declining quality after fresh produce runs out (often within the first couple of weeks), and reliance on personal snacks, protein powder, and ramen to supplement. Midnight rations (“midrats”) were frequently cited as especially sparse leftovers. Ships returning to port rusty after long deployments October 2020 — USS Stout (DDG-55) after 215 consecutive days at sea The destroyer returned to Naval Station Norfolk looking heavily rust-streaked and weathered after a record 215 days without docking (COVID restrictions prevented port visits). Photos circulated widely showing rust patches on the hull. Daily Mail and later Naval News / NAVSEA coverage noted the rust was removed and the ship repainted after return. NAVSEA later used the Stout photo as an example of high operational tempo plus saltwater corrosion.  December 2021 — Broader “Navy is rusting away” reporting Task & Purpose published photos of multiple ships showing rust after deployments, including USS Arleigh Burke, USS Fort McHenry, USS James E. Williams, and USS Zumwalt, plus the 2020 Stout return. The piece attributed it to a “crushing deployment cycle” that left little time for preservation work.  2018–2019 examples and analysis • USS Curtis Wilbur drew comments for a “rusty and shabby appearance” during a 2018 Hong Kong visit. • 2019 Defense News “Rust Dialogues” discussed why U.S. ships often look rustier than allied ships: American vessels stay at sea longer with fewer port visits for chipping and painting. A 2005 photo of USS Normandy mid-deployment was contrasted with later, rustier ships. Corrosion control was already a multi-billion-dollar annual cost.  2023 NAVSEA statement Naval News quoted NAVSEA on rusty ships: high operational tempo + steel + seawater = rust staining wherever coatings are scratched. Crews do preservation at sea, but it is balanced against operations. The Stout 2020 photo was referenced again.  Rust after long deployments is treated by the Navy as expected cosmetic wear from saltwater and limited time for topside work while underway; it is usually addressed after return to port. Food complaints have been a persistent sailor grievance for decades, especially once fresh stores are gone and the 21-day repeating frozen/canned menu takes over. Both issues tend to surface most visibly after unusually long or high-tempo deployments with few or no port calls.
