Biology isn't even a big one. Hell I've been here forever and I subbed to whatsthisbug long before I subbed to arr-Biology. But you make a good point about the algorithms.

I still maintain that people are idiots. That just seems to include the people that force users into places using the algorithms.

That's another thing that gets me. Who uses the "official" reddit app? Stop it! (*Slaps hand*)

They can, but the problem is getting subscribers. Like if I want to talk about biology I'd Google "reddit sub for biology" or whatever. What's going to pop up first?

I mean I just learned those two subs existed and I'm looking for a new hobby so this interaction has been great!

I didn't mean it as a slight, I appreciate any mod who works to keep their sub on track. It was more an expression of frustration at the people that can't figure out a sidebar or Google.

It may be built up aggression to some of my favorite small subs.

I actually didn't know either sub existed but I sure as hell know how to Google. Literally everyone does.

More importantly I can go on a sub and search for top all time and read the sidebar.

And that bit about the razr was the first thing that made me audibly laugh on here in a while.

You want to really fuck yourself up, try learning/working bacterial phylogeny. What is a species anymore?

>Search up the highest level category, type something better answered by Google

These exactly describe my feelings. When you find a new sub, search by top all time and learn what is posted there. If you have a question, Google it. If it's not there or opinion-based, ask it.

I was gonna say they're idiots too but I realized there are plants I might think are fungi so maybe I'm the idiot.

Biology made a modpost redirecting them and just didn't enforce it. It's a mess.

I am not an ornithologist but I can tell the difference between "whatsthisbird" and "birding". I think.

Whatsthisbird is for identification and birding is for the hobby of photographing and finding birds right? At a guess, swear no looking.

E: okay now I looked and subbed. I love pro pictures of birds. There's that person that always posts on animalporn and I dig it.

Try asking people who go to arr-Biology to go to arr-WhatsThisBug for their identification questions. It's a losing battle because people are idiots.

It's just one of the fun quirks of baseball. Back in the day it was a function of baseball being played on fields meant for other sports (eg. the Polo Grounds) or crammed into the space available (eg. Fenway Park). Then in the mid- to late-20th century, they did build a bunch of cookie cutter ballparks with curved, symmetrical outfields, domes, astroturf, etc. Those were awful, soulless, monstrosities.

Then when Oriole Park at Camden Yards was built in '92 it brought back a "renaissance" of these ballparks that were part of the city. They used existing architecture, borrowed architectural motifs, emphasized skylines, etc. So really it's partially about nostalgia and tradition and partially about emphasizing that each park, city, and club is 'unique".

Yeah those kids should be inside playing video games >:(

>and it should be manditory all over the planet.

You know the whole planet isn't the American southwest, right? Please tell me you know that. What an awful take.

Yeah this might as well be /r/reddittree it gets photographed and posted so much.

"My shitty webstore business is slowing down, better spam the rubes on reddit."

As a start, that "Danse Macabre" is far older than some godawful rock band.

Oh good fucking lord. Step outside your weird bubble and learn some culture.
