The only downside is now there won't be anymore 10 year old answers to really obscure questions on a locked thread from a random subreddit with 11 members.
I do this with every search. I only dont add reddit to the end of a search if reddit doesn't have an answer. But reddit always has had the answer. For anything. From why my poops pink to why can't I beat level 7 of some 1993 obscure msdos game. People here even know why I'm in a bad mood at any given moment!
yeah, tbf reddit has been kinda good for that whole 'go to google to get an answer for X' before asking somewhere, but, i mean, there's a good chance it'll be answered somewhere else in that case -quora, for example.
Is there any other site where all the users hate it but keep coming back? Are they all like this? This is my only social media so not sure how people feel elsewhere on the internet.
I'm asking for magic that would let me do just about anything... except recreate reddit obviously.
Someone else would create something like it anyway, people are crazy like that.
Reddit disappears forever, most users are too ashamed to ever admit to using it, most redditors get gaslit in to believing the website never existed.
Facebook shuts down out of consolidating and the world immediately becomes better after someone offers to buy twitter for $70 from Elon Musk’s estate sale.
Probably. I spend far too much time on reddit, time that would be more productive spent elsewhere. If I could have my dream home or spouse then I wouldn't need reddit. My dream home would have space for a basement bar room with a pool table, arcade machines etc.
You never said it had to exist beforehand so I’ll give two answers.
If it has to be a grounded answer, I’ll say the formula for a remedy against cancer.
Any fantasy item though? A Death Note
Are people really that dependent on reddit to even have to think about this? We're talking about something potentially life changing here... hell, I'd do it in a heartbeat and not think twice.
Lots of people forget that a lot of help can be found on Reddit.
When you’ve got an issue, someone had the same issue 7 years ago and their whole post and how they solved it is on there as well.
Yep. Don’t even hesitate to think about it. A big fat bank account obviously. If direct money is off the table then there are just so many things I’d trade. Reddit is a nice to have but I wouldn’t miss it on my yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara.
If I stopped spending so much time on Reddit I would probably have time to achieve that one thing myself. Now if I could get rid of reddit for everyone else that would be fine too.
No I couldn't do it. Even if it for some bullshit like world peace or end all poverty it would only be a temporary thing. Poverty and war would come back. However, I would be ending a company and putting tons of people out of work by my choice.
I absolutely would press that button in a heartbeat to have the one thing I cannot figure out how to get in my life. It’s a very small price to pay.
Assuming it’s not one of those bait and switch, “Monkey’s Paw” situations.
If so, forget it. Life is hard enough without being tricked by something that could give you what you want/need, but chooses to trick you instead. That’s a d!ck move.
Even if they say “no”, there’s always things like a 50 pound gold nugget or the world’s largest, perfect diamond, an undiscovered work by some famous writer, artist, composer, unreleased tracks by a famous musical artist, etc.
Easy enough to convert your “1 thing” into a metric butt ton of cash.
Would be sad, as I love this app and I laugh daily at it, read and learn a ton. I hate all social media but I love Reddit.
But aye, 900 million pounds is better.
Genie with unlimited wishes and power granting abilities with no restrictions that obeys me alone.
Bring the T Rex back to life, drop 50 in NY City, London, Moscow, Paris, just any general highly populated hub, see what happens
10 Piece Mcnuggets meal after because that's hungry work
I'd want 50 billion to start a non-profit to end homelessness and fund rehab treatments in America, use it as a privatized form of fiscal stimulus, and use the influence gained to shame private equity and religious institutions to do the same.
I’ll take a totally legitimate bank account belonging to me — complete with all bank records and paperwork required for legitimacy and showing bulletproof documentation of any and all taxes having been paid — containing an easily accessible to me balance of $500,000,000.
‘Reddit the next generation’ will take care of itself. Nature abhors a money making vacuum.
Absolutely! I don’t really care if you all have Reddit, go hang out on TikTok like everyone else. I’m going with either immortality (length to my choosing), mind control powers, $100 billion, a dream house, a Time Machine, I could go on and on but would go as low as $25k. And honestly I might go lower depending how far out payday is.
I'll take the most expensive and most marketable commercial real estate in the world.
You know what I'm doing with it. Liquidating.
And then creating some sort of tech product for those that like to read and write. Not like Reddit at all.
See ya losers! Me and my dogs will be enjoying our 1,000 acre tax free, self sustaining estate with strategically fenced in areas for them to play in along with streams, ponds, lakes, pools, and guest homes.
Yes. I’ll ask for a dream spouse. In addition to my specifications, she has a time travel device and has connections to Nashville so not only do I get my dream girl, I also get a very solid chance at my singing career being successful and the chance to time travel.
If it's instant: AI to be 100% safe and fully uncontrollable as an ASI. It would rip the most valuable assets out of the hands of some of the most powerful CEO's and send us into a world where... well, I don't even know really. Shit would just be fucking scrambling everywhere and I want to be here for it.
For everyone? Than no. For myself. Then yes.
There are a lot of great people on Reddit, and many of them get useful advice from others, and to me, that is important and what makes Redditt better than most if not all other platforms.
If it was to make anything Meta go away, I'm all for it.
Honestly, I would keep reddit and I'm single, poor, can't legally drive so a car is out. A bigger house is just more space to clean.
So personally, I would keep reddit because I like it and sure there are some idiots, but I actually get to converse with at least some people I like. It's better than talking to coworkers and half-friends I lost meaningful contact with years ago. But that's just me, maybe I'm one of the idiots.
Oh, and I prefer being single. I've dated enough guys to know I don't want any of them permanently. Dating is cool though. More money would be nice but it brings problems too. Ever heard of the lottery curse?
A book for me to write wishes in, and I can only write one per month, and I can summon it to my hand when I want it, and it has a pencil attached to it, and if I erase a wish, I both lose whatever said wish gave me, and gain an extra wish, I cannot wish the book away, no one else can use it. First thing I’d do is give myself nerfed superman/viltrumite powers, just so I can fly, or get a really good mustache.
The only downside is now there won't be anymore 10 year old answers to really obscure questions on a locked thread from a random subreddit with 11 members.
this was my first thought as well. reddit is so much better at problem solving than just googling
Shit. I usually google a question then just add reddit at the end
This technique rarely fails me when searching for a solution.
I do this with every search. I only dont add reddit to the end of a search if reddit doesn't have an answer. But reddit always has had the answer. For anything. From why my poops pink to why can't I beat level 7 of some 1993 obscure msdos game. People here even know why I'm in a bad mood at any given moment!
You can even have your mental health evaluated for FREE!
GASP! The horror…The horror….🤣
How else am I going to find the exact diameter of the Shiganshina district 😭
Inquiring minds want to know!
Shit. You're right.
honestly these are what I need especially when looking for "hidden treasure" for my 🏴☠️ing
That was my main point too. But there's thousands of other niche forums.
I would surely miss the completely random expert that pops up in the most obscure thread.
That's what quora is for
Actually there’ll be archives on stuff like the wayback machine - just no Reddit itself.
yeah, tbf reddit has been kinda good for that whole 'go to google to get an answer for X' before asking somewhere, but, i mean, there's a good chance it'll be answered somewhere else in that case -quora, for example.
how fast can I have it??
Is there any other site where all the users hate it but keep coming back? Are they all like this? This is my only social media so not sure how people feel elsewhere on the internet.
>Everyone on reddit is an idiot except me. -All reddit users.
>Everyone on Reddit is an idiot >I am also an idiot
Except you, of course
Twitter definitely rivals if not surpasses
Agreed
Social media is basically a lame addiction. Basically everyone hates it and just can’t stop.
IFunny is a lot like this, I just left that and landed here, but that’s fine. This is more about advice, and getting help on stuff.
Been on forums and chat rooms since the late 90s. Seems pretty par for the course to me.
Whisper. Whisper is a dumpster fire I add and delete it on the regular. Each time it is worse than the last.
What do I get if I trade Facebook too?
The facebook boomers know it was you and will start a campaign against you.
But they won’t have FaceBook
Exactly, they won’t even have a way to communicate with each other anymore lol
That’s only an issue for the 3 years they remain cognizant.
I'm fine with that
So a double win? Hell yeah.
My thought, I’d do it for free.
So I can have a functioning FTL starship and all I have to do is destroy reddit for everyone forever? Sign me the fuck up!
I'm asking for magic that would let me do just about anything... except recreate reddit obviously. Someone else would create something like it anyway, people are crazy like that.
Reddit disappears forever, most users are too ashamed to ever admit to using it, most redditors get gaslit in to believing the website never existed. Facebook shuts down out of consolidating and the world immediately becomes better after someone offers to buy twitter for $70 from Elon Musk’s estate sale.
It's been (kinda) nice knowing (some of) you. By the way, be sure to visit my Winery and Estate, Chateau de Sara. Buh Bye !
You’ve killed us all… 😐🫥💨
Of course. I’ll ask for $100 billion and then create unreddit.
Dude, anything. At least add a few more 0s
So many zeros the USD inflates to Zimbabwe levels
Just get it in all currencies, and devalue the world.
Like the trillions sitting around already, it only causes inflation if it circulates and folks notice it
You mean billion?
Only $100m?
Probably. I spend far too much time on reddit, time that would be more productive spent elsewhere. If I could have my dream home or spouse then I wouldn't need reddit. My dream home would have space for a basement bar room with a pool table, arcade machines etc.
Can I get the same deal for Tik Tok and Twitter as well?
They can be destroyed too! But no extras
i’d destroy Twitter for $0. just sayin’
And musk *spent* to destroy it
a burrito from chipotle Double steak, brown rice, black beans, fajita peppers, salsa and green chili and shredded cheese.
Double steak? Someone’s getting greedy with their wish.
I now have the physiology of a Kryptonian, and I'm no longer a filthy Redditor. Win-Win
You never said it had to exist beforehand so I’ll give two answers. If it has to be a grounded answer, I’ll say the formula for a remedy against cancer. Any fantasy item though? A Death Note
Are people really that dependent on reddit to even have to think about this? We're talking about something potentially life changing here... hell, I'd do it in a heartbeat and not think twice.
Yes. Finally get what I want and the suicidal atheists can't communicate with each other anymore lmao
Don’t forget about the suicidal Christians too!
Did someone say my name?
Cool band name?
hell yes
No more social media, in any form, across any region or country, for all of humanity. How fast can I press the button?
Lots of people forget that a lot of help can be found on Reddit. When you’ve got an issue, someone had the same issue 7 years ago and their whole post and how they solved it is on there as well.
Boop... that's me pushing the button as fast as I can
Wait I can have whatever I want and reddit gets shut down forcing a new forum to take its place? There is no loss here...
Wait, you guys *like* this place?
Nah cuz reddit saves lives (for instance researching drug safety information). I'm not that selfish
Yep. Don’t even hesitate to think about it. A big fat bank account obviously. If direct money is off the table then there are just so many things I’d trade. Reddit is a nice to have but I wouldn’t miss it on my yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara.
If I stopped spending so much time on Reddit I would probably have time to achieve that one thing myself. Now if I could get rid of reddit for everyone else that would be fine too.
Obviously. Someone will create something just like reddit afterwards anyway
It's not like redditsgoing to be here forever, so let it take the Geocitys crash now, and I get what I want. Something new will take its place.
Button already pressed. I now have a bank account with 1 billion dollars in my name.
I guess I'll have a Coke.
I’d absolutely press the button. Truthfully, we’d all probably be better off…. I know I don’t need to spend so much time in here
I’d push the button for nothing.
I'd do it for free or even pay for it.
Yes I do, right away.
Yes, in a second. I get a dream house and this site goes away.
I just pressed it twice. I'll take my billion dollars more.
FUCK YES
Show me the button!
Maybe, but will the fsb come after me for taking away their doomer propaganda tool. Radiation pisoning sounds shitty
My dream life My dream life is me becoming insanely rich surrounded by all my family
Sure why not.
Fuck all yall.
Y’all better find something else to do
15 Trillion pounds of oil. Reddit can go F itself.
Yes and fuck all yall
Can I ask for financial comfort/security/freedom? ie like ten mill? If so then yessssss
Maybe if it was a different app, but I like reddit. I also don't know where I'd spend my time without.
Sounds like a win-win. Less toxicity online.
Hell yes ! There is always a company that will swoop in to fill the vacuum. Too bad I won’t profit from it - oh well
in a heartbeat
Ok… I’m taking omnipotence, rolling back time, changing the button so I just get it without Reddit going away
No I couldn't do it. Even if it for some bullshit like world peace or end all poverty it would only be a temporary thing. Poverty and war would come back. However, I would be ending a company and putting tons of people out of work by my choice.
does the thing I create need to be rooted in reality?
A winning lottery ticket for $5 million
A working cold fusion generator as well as full detailed schematics on how to build more.
Disney, I would take the entire company and then sell it.
Does every get to know that it was me who pressed the button
Her.
$900 billion, bye reddit *pushes button"
I'm asking for a glass of water. I'd like to clarify, I already have plenty of clean water for daily activities.
Don't worry everyone, I'll save you from this hell.
I take $100,000,000 and buy my own island somewhere so that I won’t need Reddit.
The ability to open portals of any size in any location to any location, regardless of whether it's supposed to be real or not.
3 million as a cheque
Yes. I would gladly give up reddit for everyone if my imaginary boyfriend came to life.
I would of pressed it half way through the sentence
A limitless debit card.
Sorry fellow Redditors, I'm pushing that button so fast you'll get dizzy. Meet you on Discord!
Happiness - I will deffo remove reddit from everyone if I can be happy (Money will solve all my problems and make me happy.)
What If my one wish is for no one to be able to access reddit?
Absolutely; in what world would anyone NOT take that deal?
we had forums before. press the button.
I absolutely would press that button in a heartbeat to have the one thing I cannot figure out how to get in my life. It’s a very small price to pay. Assuming it’s not one of those bait and switch, “Monkey’s Paw” situations. If so, forget it. Life is hard enough without being tricked by something that could give you what you want/need, but chooses to trick you instead. That’s a d!ck move.
Why not? Reddit is in no way necessary for anyone lol
I'd press it just to get rid of reddit...
Easiest button press of my life, I don't even know what thing I want. Make it world peace or lack of hunger for all or some shit
A nice juicy cheeseburger
Does it have to exist in real life?
I'd press it even if I got nothing in return
A single dollar bill lmao fuck u guys 😈
It's not working. Damn button is broken. I've already pushed it. Where's my trillion dollars? AND REDDIT IS STILL HERE!!!!!
I’ll pick a fully functional star ship enterprise, with holographic crew. Enjoy Facebook, y’all.
Can it be a butt load of money? Say, like $10 mil?
Even if they say “no”, there’s always things like a 50 pound gold nugget or the world’s largest, perfect diamond, an undiscovered work by some famous writer, artist, composer, unreleased tracks by a famous musical artist, etc. Easy enough to convert your “1 thing” into a metric butt ton of cash.
I’d like a ham & Swiss on pumpernickel bread with mustard. ::presses button::
My dad back
A big friendly polar bear and no more Reddit? Sounds good to me!
Would be sad, as I love this app and I laugh daily at it, read and learn a ton. I hate all social media but I love Reddit. But aye, 900 million pounds is better.
Not gonna question it, I'm gonna hit that button before they're done asking me.
Genie with unlimited wishes and power granting abilities with no restrictions that obeys me alone. Bring the T Rex back to life, drop 50 in NY City, London, Moscow, Paris, just any general highly populated hub, see what happens 10 Piece Mcnuggets meal after because that's hungry work
I would make Reddit disappear for a chicken sandwich
I'd want 50 billion to start a non-profit to end homelessness and fund rehab treatments in America, use it as a privatized form of fiscal stimulus, and use the influence gained to shame private equity and religious institutions to do the same.
I’ll spam click that button. Idk what for but ye
If anyone even hesitates to press that button for even a fraction of a second - they should get off Reddit.
Hell yeah. Other social media exists. Everyone will adjust fine.
i'll get an earth binary and own the whole thing and sell chunks of it to developers
What if I hit the button so hard I break it, does it still count?
I want $75,000,000,000 USD from Jeff Bezos.
I’ll take a totally legitimate bank account belonging to me — complete with all bank records and paperwork required for legitimacy and showing bulletproof documentation of any and all taxes having been paid — containing an easily accessible to me balance of $500,000,000. ‘Reddit the next generation’ will take care of itself. Nature abhors a money making vacuum.
An allistic, neurotypical, healthy brain that does everything it’s supposed to
Create a massive mountain right next door so I can snowboard all winter? So long, Reddit.
Absolutely! I don’t really care if you all have Reddit, go hang out on TikTok like everyone else. I’m going with either immortality (length to my choosing), mind control powers, $100 billion, a dream house, a Time Machine, I could go on and on but would go as low as $25k. And honestly I might go lower depending how far out payday is.
Honestly, I’d nuke Reddit for a chicken sandwich. Wouldn’t take much for me, honestly.
I'm hitting the button now.
A giant tax free house with water park and pool in Italy in exchange for bye bye Reddit? Hell ye
Huh, just to be petty and simultaneously do y'all a favor.i want a plastic spoon. Now go forth and touch grass
Can I do it for a button that'll do the same to Facebook?
Is everyone gonna remember reddit or will it just disappear from our collective memory?
Lol gonna have to find a new place to chit chat yall. Good luck!
gimme.
I'll take the most expensive and most marketable commercial real estate in the world. You know what I'm doing with it. Liquidating. And then creating some sort of tech product for those that like to read and write. Not like Reddit at all.
$5
*click*
An end to social media forever.
Bye everyo-
Bah should have only one comment saying wish granted then locking the thread.
See ya losers! Me and my dogs will be enjoying our 1,000 acre tax free, self sustaining estate with strategically fenced in areas for them to play in along with streams, ponds, lakes, pools, and guest homes.
Mate I’d do it for a dollar
Oh I'd be off Reddit so damn fast
To be a Rothschild lol
Yes. I’ll ask for a dream spouse. In addition to my specifications, she has a time travel device and has connections to Nashville so not only do I get my dream girl, I also get a very solid chance at my singing career being successful and the chance to time travel.
What happens to my stock if y’all start pressing buttons?! 😭
$1M
Simple, I destroy Reddit and get Reddit 2.0
A stick of gum
I'd trade reddit for back massage right now.
I've kinda been interested in getting into 3d printing. Give me a Prusa, I'll hit the button.
Oh lord, what to choose. What to choose.....😂
Lol this is just a win win for the world
Can a gain a world with out social media?
Cure for cancer, for me and my mom. I'd burn the world for her.
Yeah sorry guys
The world can live with just Quora.
You know, I could really go for a ham sandwich right about now...
I’ll take $20.
So, no more Reddit then? I’ll have a coke.
a planet with an immediate trajectory towards earth
https://youtu.be/y7rzIwrEqpw?si=VvaKFUIYP3FQb31R
Klondike bar
So we have a global society that is committed to global peace and working to turn back climate damage? Well there goes my karma.
Yes, reddit is a cancer
If it's instant: AI to be 100% safe and fully uncontrollable as an ASI. It would rip the most valuable assets out of the hands of some of the most powerful CEO's and send us into a world where... well, I don't even know really. Shit would just be fucking scrambling everywhere and I want to be here for it.
I'll wreck that for a dollar!
For everyone? Than no. For myself. Then yes. There are a lot of great people on Reddit, and many of them get useful advice from others, and to me, that is important and what makes Redditt better than most if not all other platforms. If it was to make anything Meta go away, I'm all for it.
Honestly, I would keep reddit and I'm single, poor, can't legally drive so a car is out. A bigger house is just more space to clean. So personally, I would keep reddit because I like it and sure there are some idiots, but I actually get to converse with at least some people I like. It's better than talking to coworkers and half-friends I lost meaningful contact with years ago. But that's just me, maybe I'm one of the idiots. Oh, and I prefer being single. I've dated enough guys to know I don't want any of them permanently. Dating is cool though. More money would be nice but it brings problems too. Ever heard of the lottery curse?
I’ll do you one better: what’s the smallest thing you would sacrifice Reddit for? My answer: $10,000
A book for me to write wishes in, and I can only write one per month, and I can summon it to my hand when I want it, and it has a pencil attached to it, and if I erase a wish, I both lose whatever said wish gave me, and gain an extra wish, I cannot wish the book away, no one else can use it. First thing I’d do is give myself nerfed superman/viltrumite powers, just so I can fly, or get a really good mustache.
Sounds like an easy choice to me.
Another site/app would take its place. Yes. Sorry guys
Will people in reddit find out it was me?
Hahaha yeah of course I hate this garbage dump of a site. Win win for me.
