I'd guess the "nothing ever happens" people are young.

When I was in my early 20s, I met my dad for the first time. He'd tell tall stories I could not believe. Not long after I had a roommate the same age, same tall stories.

Now that I'm that age, I got tall stories. If you choose an adventurous (slightly irresponsible) life, and get off the couch now and again, life is truly stranger than fiction.

Been seeing a ton of this nothing ever happens attitude lately

No you haven't.

People are like this also irl. Sure, there was a subreddit for it, but the nothingeverhappens attitude is one of the things i experienced in any country I've been in.

No.

How about let people act the way they want? That's not a reddit thing, that's just how regular people respond to an unbelievable story. Sorry your suspension of disbelief is being shattered? If you don't like it, then ignore the people with opposite view points.
