That was the subject of the entire discussion: the original question was about whether ladies in the late 1800s took naps in the middle of parties, and if so, if that was because they wore corsets.

(e: they didn’t and it wasn’t.)

That’s fair, but this was my area of expertise, where I had more than 20 years of academic and practical experience. Please see my other comment in this post for how ridiculous this particular thread became.

I get you, and I totally agree. It did get rather insane, though.

One example:

User:

I’m confused.

First of all, we value the work /u/LillyPip put into their answer and we approved it after they expanded on the original comment.

Was it approved and then disapproved again?’

Mod:

It was. Later debate among the moderators led to it being removed again, because we feel that while it’s a solid answer, it needed more work to be a good explanation of the depth and complexity of the situation: a scene in a 19th-century-set American-Civil-War-era novel (which uses characteristics of surreal overemphasis and wealth as literary technique), written by an early twentieth-century writer, which gives two different time periods’ contexts of gender behaviour and racism to work with.

Like, how do you even conform to that?

The Reddit mods have always been delusional.

Oh my god, thank you!

My point was the drama, which was removed from the official thread. And in this link, you can see how much was removed.

Thanks so much!

I just reread the original Reddit post, and they’ve hidden all of the mod responses from me. It’s weird. Give me a minute, I’m trying to find a way to show the original thread ….

What I was trying to show was the censorship that happened even before the latest censorship, plus the mod drama, but it’s apparently harder than I thought.

None of the ways I used to know work anymore.

Hey man, they’re your rats, not mine.

Either start charging them rent or give me a discount for their upkeep. My rental agreement didn’t include a whole colony of roommates.

Found my new band name.

The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe. It seems like a tropey romance-action flick, but is more a parody of genre clichés. The writing, acting, and humour are pretty good.

Punching Nazis is always self defence, since being a Nazi in public is an act of violence.

Tbf, some other countries are schizophrenic about it, too. The UK uses miles for some distances and km for others, metres for anything more than about a body-length, when it might switch to feet depending on context or location. That doesn’t even broach other (sometimes overlapping) units. Humans are* remarkably inconsistent considering how universally we talk about things relying on measurement.

That’s done intentionally to obfuscate the quantity, since most Americans can more easily estimate a half-gallon. It’s to encourage consumption.

Wait, your right or my right?

‘Here’s an idea: let all those around you know your status.’

‘Revolutionary!’

It’s weird we haven’t already done this, but good.

There’s already a codebase for bursting from the ground in an explosion of lava. Everyone wants that.

You’re the first person asking for a scarf, and our system doesn’t even know what a neck is.

Or never let Windows touch anything. There are alternatives. Treat Windows like the virus it is.

Hahahaha relatable.

Oh nice. Just remember to hydrate and get some sleep. It’s so easy to lose hours to that game!

Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.

That’s all very true and valid.

I don’t mean to imply anything here, but is it common to find a body, call 911, then bug out without giving any contact info?

Is it weird that I think the vast majority of people would want to stick around to see what was happening, at least?

If I found a body, I’d be interested in what happened, and why. If I found a burnt body in the wilderness, I’d probably not want to fuck off into that same wilderness alone with, perhaps, a survivalist murderer lurking. I’d probably wait for the authorities, since there’s safety in numbers. Maybe that’s just me?
