In a response to Spez threatening to put reopening subreddits to a poll, /r/pics has gotten ahead of the game and voted to reopen, but only allow "Images of John Oliver looking sexy".

This is legitimately brilliant, because this is the kind of thing that would potentially get John Oliver to mention this on air, and you know whose side he would take in the matter.

Unfortunately he hasn't had new content in a while because of the writer's strike. He absolutely would have a killer piece of he wasn't paused in solidarity of the writers right now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's fine, though - I'm glad he's standing with the striking writers. When the strike is over, maybe he'll cover it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Potentially. Too bad there aren't any sexy pics of him.

You know it’s gonna be good when the page makes you swear you’re old enough

Apple should re-open, but only allow discussion of the fruit.

/r/selfawarewolves is currently holding a poll as to whether the sub should switch to pictures of literal wolves instead of the boring political wolves that had been the mainstay previously.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I voted on the r/pics one, so I'm off to vote on the r/selfawarewolves one. Unfortunately, it looks like the wolf pics option is losing. :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I'm sad about it as well. But it has a couple of days to finish out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or only debates on how likely John Oliver would fuck specific Apple products.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the only argument I have ever heard that would persuade me to go back to reddit.com

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did go back just to look at the sub and it is beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It’s glorious.

But I worry about the amount of people calling for admins to take over the sub.

Reddit is dead to me though.

Mods are supposed to have discretion of what goes on in their sub!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Malicious compliance is the best kind of compliance!

[–] SpaceSnek 16 points 1 year ago

Amazing idea. Still keeps the sub open and appeases current Reddit rules and regulations.

Finally, a righteous use for ai art

I cannot wait for the next this week tonight episode

Okay, please, can we actually? xD

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

finally, I can share my JO folder

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, great, now that I'm off Reddit they go and create the perfect sub.

[–] yProwler 5 points 1 year ago

How great would it be if every subreddit reopened and only featured JO‽

[–] Thetrademarq 3 points 1 year ago

Love to see it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Stop, stop, it’s already dead! :::pokes Reddit with a stick:::

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This honest to dog hilarious!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

this is hilarious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If anything, this is what will make me go back to reddit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's not as though we can't also do that here....
