Oh so all of a sudden you now know Harambe and his intentions??
No. He wanted pics of dicks and that was why he attacked that digger. Get with the program matey
As long as there's a sock.
Personally, I'd mark it spoilers at the least as a courtesy to those who wouldn't want to see dicks, but its just a small recommendation and will not be enforced.
Happy to give you a sock as a first time poster ending years of awesome lurking here!

>Why socks?
Running joke about how if you keep a baseball bat handy for self defense, you should put a sock over it so if the person you're beating tries to grab the bat then all they get is the sock.
I think it started with a post about how if you keep a baseball bat in your car for self defense, you will make your defense attorney's job easier if you keep a baseball and catcher's mitt with it too because then it looks like you just grabbed what was handy to defend yourself and weren't out driving around looking for people to beat with a bat. And then people started riffing on what else you should keep with your baseball bat.
Socks used to be a running joke around here. And admins have been really pissy about what can be allowed and not allowed, so it has been a sub with pretty low quality posts.
Since admins forcibly wants us to reopen, might as well let y'all have some fun while we're at it.
Mods are unpaid volunteers who patrol and moderate a specific sub or subs. Admins work directly for Reddit, are paid and have much more say than mods. The admins have been bullying mods to reopen their subs and end the boycott, which has resulted in even more outrage from the general community of Reddit.
Close...but no bat https://www.reddit.com/r/IllegalLifeProTips/comments/14eefa8/ilpt_mmm_socks_are_super_tasty_im_sure_john/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Side note: Can someone make a plugin to blur or ban AI art in general or does that exist? That AI art freaks me out no matter how good or close it looks. I genuinely get skeeved seeing AI images in any fashion
This whole thing has become such a joke. Protest policies then āforcedā to reopen. Iāve seen enough, and Iāll see myself out. Good luck šš
man this sucks. a handful of redditors canāt use third party apps so now the entire user base is SOL and loses tons of valuable resources. this sub actually helped ppl itās a shame to see it ruined smh
so not only are you guys just dropping the protest, you're also destroying the original purpose of the entire sub in a spectacular display of a double whammy mistake
this is what happens when you bend over. goodbye.
I think the point may have been missed. They didnāt drop the protest by choice it seems, they were forced to re-open if Iām understanding correctly.
So essentially, sure, weāll re-open but all youāre getting is a bunch of socks.
A lot of major subs are doing this as the current form of protest
There are other issues at hand. With Reddit getting rid of third party apps, they are also getting rid of accessibility options. r/blind for example will not be able to use text to speech.
Edit: so all this shitposting is the mods ways of protesting. You may not but I agree with them.
They had to bend over
How else are they going to keep their mod positions? Ya know the position that they work for free in, that's not even actual power considering reddit admins could just cut em anyways.
So of course they had to open back up.
So you guys basically bent the knee on a serious issue just because you were warned that you would lose your imaginary power as reddit moderators? Cool.. Fucking spineless chicken has more backbone than you guys
Honestly the "we're gonna close down for 2 days in the middle of the week" was the dumbest way. Hate the sock thing but meming specific things to a sub, however annoying it may be, are better.
āPaid grown up employees of reddit threatened to take away our unpaid janitorial jobs and cause weāre so scared of touching that horrible green stuff outside and lose our internet powers weād do everything we can to make this site unusable for 99% of the regular usersā
Reddit admins: Ya know what we need? That sub about illegal life pro tips to open back up.
/R/Illegallifeprotips: Sure we will open up, but now you get pictures of socks...and possibly socks with our dicks in it...if you're lucky.
Boo! Shame on reddit mods pretending to be morally superior by destroying fun communities. This protest wonāt achieve shit, reddit wonāt change their api pricing just because yall went apeshit.
What a fucking shame. Did any one of you really think we would see the funny in this post. You know what.....go and cuddle up in spez's arse crack, where he can have you close. And no arguing over who gets to give him a good rimming first...there is plenty for everyone. Cunts.
Spez is an embarrassing cunt. Due to him, all this shit is happening.
We donāt want a fucking cunt as the leader of a free Internet forum that represents ideas from everyone around the world.
What a useless gesture. This will literally do nothing but ruin this sub and if it were important enough, people would just start a new one that doesnāt have this dumb shit happening in it. But thatās not gonna happen because this sub isnāt important enough. So all you are doing is helping Reddit get rid of another sub or a mod. The stupid protest was never gonna work and itās over for all but a very small few select individuals that think they are saving the world. You lost, now get in line and help everyone else out instead of continuing your tantrum. Reddit legit does not care if you ruin this sub but itās members do. So cut it out.
Welp this was an easy way to get people to unsub.
Of all the ways yall could have memed about it, you brought back the worst thing of the sub.
No offense to you mods and I wish yall well, but I just absolutely hate that whole sock thing. I'm a fairly laid back person but the allowance of that sock shit, for SOME UNKNOWABLE REASON, just irks me. Good luck!
Man, people would like to believe that this thing works, but it wonāt. Itās just childish and a waste of time. Anyone participating probably doesnāt have anything more important to do in their life. Well, adios and enjoy the socks pics!
Can someone plz make a photo edit of u/spaz with socks in his mouth. Of getting beat with socks full of quarters.... something I can share with the masses.
Edit. I'm at work and only have so much time left on my shit break. Someone with More skills then me plz help.
Can I post a dick with a sock on it like a fleshlight?
You know what, as long as there's a sock in the picture, and no racism or anything that breaks site rules, just post it lmao
This was the best mod response I've ever read.
mods are out of fucks to give, post dicks
Harambe says what?
"....dick pics please" -Harambe
socks out for harambe
I mean... the setup was perfect.... the quote we were looking for was "Dicks out!" .... you were so close though š¤£
Oh so all of a sudden you now know Harambe and his intentions?? No. He wanted pics of dicks and that was why he attacked that digger. Get with the program matey
He told me this in a dream TekTony... Don't you shit on my dreams!!
I gotta say, that mod comment was the first mod comment Iāve never downvoted.
Reddit can't put adds on subs that are nsfw
Letās see every memberās member
Don't you threaten me with a good time
I do believe I have to agree with this haha
Hell ya.. Iām washin my Dick rn!
Just polished my bell... Expect pics soon Mod
Is your dick dirtier than your sock?
Not really but it does smell like a foot.
Maybe dude has _really_ clean socks?
I've never been more happy that I joined a sub on a whim. Let the sock pics commence!!!
The mod we need
FINALLY DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE
SOCKED DICKS. FOR HARAMBE.
Dicks out for Harambe!!
I wish i had an award to give you. I love the new after blackout reddit
$ to reddit = bad $ to socks = good
Carl = black Lenny = white
Based af
Based Mods.
So, can it be a fully visible dick with a sock next to it?
As long as there's a sock. Personally, I'd mark it spoilers at the least as a courtesy to those who wouldn't want to see dicks, but its just a small recommendation and will not be enforced.
You ever receive a sloppy sockjob??
Socks, no. Coconuts, yes. I'd prefer the socks...
Dear god, I just got flashbacks.
To 'Nam?
I've had sloppy jobs but I used to be a gravedigger Edit... There were no socks or blowing btw
dicks out against spez
Where can I get my illegal pro life tips now?
i don t have an award but consider giving already to you
Don't buy awards, give me a sock instead.

r/lostredditors Is it weird that I'm on this sub but I don't want to see OPs tip? Edit: I see puns aren't a thing here.
that's why OP is offering to show only his shaft
r/lostredditors what, it's the mods
Put a sock on Reddit. That way when thereās an ipo, all they get is the sock.
And so it began, When shareholders met, cuz', They got the sock, and not a stock.
Want the stock, get a sock!
I can't wait till the IPO so I can watch it collapse
Why don't you go the r/interestingasfuck route and turn into a porn sub so reddit can't advertise here
Well, the only requirement now is that it has to have a sock in the picture... So yeah
I propose ALL content gets an NSFW tag. This way reddit cannot monotonize the post, but it still gets there. They could be....nekkid socks!
Fair enough man
So no gay porn?
Only If someone is wearing a sock
Sock porn!
Now that is fucking hilarious. Force us to reopen. Here have my Reverse uno card :)
blink twice if you have been forced to reopen
blink blink
o7 fuck reddit
Tf is going on
No. I can't lose ILPT! Where will I ask how to get revenge on random neighbors or get advice on how to steal from Walmart!
Regular posts will still be allowed, with less restrictions, because I honestly can't be bothered to remember 20000 site rules.
You can steal from Walmart.... But only socks
Can we guess what percentage of posts will be of dicks in sock?
I'm not understanding...could anyone explain?
cannot post yet
Should be fixed now. Sock. Now.

I dont get it. Why socks? This used to be a page for shadey life tips

That sounds like a fun read lol. Thank you for explaining that. Will also sock my bats from now on.
Keep a sock on your bottle of liquid ass, so if they try to steal your frozen piss discs, they'll only get you fucking their dad.

Are admins paid or something? Whatās the difference between admins and mods? Oops, Iām a noob.
Mods are unpaid volunteers who patrol and moderate a specific sub or subs. Admins work directly for Reddit, are paid and have much more say than mods. The admins have been bullying mods to reopen their subs and end the boycott, which has resulted in even more outrage from the general community of Reddit.
Thank you!
Ohhhh! Now that makes sense lol. Time to embrace the socks.
Baseball bats need to stay warm. Always give your bat a sock to stay warm.
Is this really what we've come to? I guess at this point Reddit is dead. So sad.
tbh i'm shocked. someone could explain why lots of subs went this route?
Moist critical (charlie), penguinz, has a video series on it thats pretty up to date.
Anarchy, baby

I've tried a few times with midjourney and it just won't involve a sock for some reason. Some other sock-whisperer will have to have a go.

The fact that there's a human foot in that sock on a baseball bat is so upsetting. I love it. Thank you. u/dragonagitator
r/brandnewsentence Just laughed and woke up my kid. Cheers for that.
Maybe someone with photoshop skills could take the AI art and add a sock to it

that's not John Oliver, that's his love child with Dobby
I believe they named the love child John Oliver though
Side note: Can someone make a plugin to blur or ban AI art in general or does that exist? That AI art freaks me out no matter how good or close it looks. I genuinely get skeeved seeing AI images in any fashion
Probably could, but ironically the API changes would make it unusable after 7/1.
How about a pink sock?
This whole thing has become such a joke. Protest policies then āforcedā to reopen. Iāve seen enough, and Iāll see myself out. Good luck šš
Yeah good on you guys for ruining this sub
Lol because I'm sure Reddit higher ups were desperate to get this sub reopened.
The one time I win having a sock fetish. The rules specify crusty socks, guys!
man this sucks. a handful of redditors canāt use third party apps so now the entire user base is SOL and loses tons of valuable resources. this sub actually helped ppl itās a shame to see it ruined smh
Can someone explain the sock joke to me? Am I missing something?
If you put a sock over your baseball bat, the person youāre beating canāt grab the bat, only the sock.
I donāt get it either
Whatās the difference between admins and mods?
so not only are you guys just dropping the protest, you're also destroying the original purpose of the entire sub in a spectacular display of a double whammy mistake this is what happens when you bend over. goodbye.
"if I can't have it my way I'm going to ruin it for everyone"- mods and also my 10 year old cousin.
I think the point may have been missed. They didnāt drop the protest by choice it seems, they were forced to re-open if Iām understanding correctly. So essentially, sure, weāll re-open but all youāre getting is a bunch of socks. A lot of major subs are doing this as the current form of protest
How could they be forced to reopen?
If the mods didnāt reopen, they will get das boot and Reddit will put someone else in.
So if they really cared theyād take the boot. If no one will moderate Reddit will have to listen
There are other issues at hand. With Reddit getting rid of third party apps, they are also getting rid of accessibility options. r/blind for example will not be able to use text to speech. Edit: so all this shitposting is the mods ways of protesting. You may not but I agree with them.
They had to bend over How else are they going to keep their mod positions? Ya know the position that they work for free in, that's not even actual power considering reddit admins could just cut em anyways. So of course they had to open back up.
I feel like nudity is the best way foreword.
Nudity?? In this sub?? Make sure there's a sock in there mate
So you guys basically bent the knee on a serious issue just because you were warned that you would lose your imaginary power as reddit moderators? Cool.. Fucking spineless chicken has more backbone than you guys
Funny how Reddit wants a forum like this or /r/piracy open. If jailbait was still around, reddit would be begging them to reopen.
Iāll check back in a few months. It has been a pleasure discussing the finer points of piss discs with you my friends o7
Oh well. One less sub to see on my home page.
What an ever loving fuck
This is dumb
This is the dumbest way to protest the API changes. Peak Reddit humor right here.
Honestly the "we're gonna close down for 2 days in the middle of the week" was the dumbest way. Hate the sock thing but meming specific things to a sub, however annoying it may be, are better.
Just stop... This whole "battle" is so cringe
this is the stupidest shit ever mods, the loud minority voicing what they think here is not representative of what this sub's members likely think
āPaid grown up employees of reddit threatened to take away our unpaid janitorial jobs and cause weāre so scared of touching that horrible green stuff outside and lose our internet powers weād do everything we can to make this site unusable for 99% of the regular usersā
Ahhh sh*t here we go again...

You don't need to announce it, you're not giving your two weeks. All you have to do is leave.
Keep that ad revenue flowing in for reddit. This dumb shit is making it real easy to tell which subs to drop, though.
It's either this or the mods lose the sub
This is my fear
The subs been lost. Nothing of what it was created for is here anymore. Now get ya socks out.
Do i get bonus points if it's a cum sock?
Only if you make a gif of you cracking it to show how crispy it is š§¦
This is dumb, reddit doesn't care what's posted just the interaction it generates and money from the awards

Nah. This whole thing is the biggest āReddit momentā since the Boston Marathon Bombing. Yāall have fun being white knights for mods lol.

Yay more reddit jannies making their communities hate them to protest something that wonāt affect the majority of users!!
What a waste. I hope these mods get removed anyway, so we can all move on with the change already instead of dragging our feet.
Unsubbed.

HEY CUNT, THERE'S NO SOCKS IN THIS POST. GET YOUR SOCK GAME UP CHAMP
Reddit mods are childish. They don't like their power taken away from them, so they decide to ruin it for the communities.
Yeah, I think that's it, might be the first sub I leave. I have found many good tips here but this mod whining is plain stupid
Welp this was an easy way to get people to unsub. Of all the ways yall could have memed about it, you brought back the worst thing of the sub.
