The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time.

  • Thank you for making this more understandable. It really feels like a "the people who pay us more will have a louder voice" and I am grossed out, if that's the case.

    • Cool video showcasing 7 interesting things that the average person can keep an eye out for in old cemeteries

  • I'm a mortician and love this list. Just wanted to add a correction; the sunken in areas are sometimes, but not often, from plots being disinterred. Up until a few decades ago, grave liners weren't common or mandatory in cemeteries. With time and age, the caskets would break down and the ground would collapse downward. (Unfortunately this happened often, with big machinery coming to dig new plots, so liners became mandatory in most cemeteries).

    Grave liners are also popular because during storms, caskets could come to the surface and float. It happened a lot during Hurricane Katrina and Colorado has Coffin Races to celebrate the time one went on a ride through the city during a flood. The concrete liners stop caskets from floating.

    • what are some good deals on items you think others should have?

  • Honestly a bidet. Brondell occasionally has "open box" ones for $100 less than retail and it's been amazing! I've saved money on toilet paper, I am more sexually active because I used to not let anyone go down on me unless I was freshly showered, I can eat spicy food without fear(which helps with weight loss), and I've gotten a bidet with instant hot water so it's heaven. I highly recommend it, especially for women. It's proven to help stop frequent UTIs too... and in the USA, where you don't get free Healthcare, that pays for itself.

    • Hopsital

  • I have to fight every time I am suffering. It's ridiculous.

    • Bad cramps; must be normal period pain.... Nope! Severe Endometriosis that required surgery.
    • Exhausted all the time; must need to exercise more... Nope! Narcolepsy!
    • Joint pain and weakness; you could afford to lose 10lbs... Nope! Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
    • Passing out going from heat and movement; change your diet and drink more water... Nope! Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
    • My feet are always freezing; wear more clothes... Nope! My veins are literally leaking (found this out on the 30th)
    • Headaches where I blackout and slur words; must be hormones or poor nutrition... Nope! Hemiplegic Migraine Disorder and TIA(mini strokes)
    • Getting spacey, dropping things, memory issues; must be a hypochondriac... Nope! Seizures.
    • I fought for 7 years to get sterilized because my health problems are genetic and was told I was too young to make that decision (at 24) and that my ex husband might change HIS mind about wanting kids so they wouldn't do it.

    I'm so sick of doctors not listening to me because I'm a woman who is not even remotely fat, but has a pronounced hourglass figure. (Size H chest)

    • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

  • I started my first account in 2012 because my ex husband was into it. I ask don't understand "why does the narwhal bacon" but I slowly figured out reddit and recommended it to all of my friends. Sad to see it go; but I'm glad... except for a few small communities (Neopets, Microgrowery, AIDKE, shrimptanks, succshaming, etc.) it was turning into a cesspool of ads and manipulated visibility.
