This reminds me of my all time favourite lost redditor that asked for a Adobe Acrobat alternative on r/freeuse (which is not about free software but very nsfw). They were extremely helpful though.

r/inflation never seemed to know if it was for Furries or for Economists

r/trees was absolutely sure what they were about. As was r/marijuanaenthusiasts.

/trees only happened because there was a power tripping mod that was banning everyone from /weed, and the arborists hadn't shown up yet cause the Digg/Slashdot migrations hadn't happened yet, and when they did show up they decided to be snarky about it, lol.

That's hilarious.

There was apparently a significant population of German car mechanics on /r/BBW as well.

lost redditors was great fun, I remember that /r/Burial (about the musical artist) used to keep a running count of confused morticians that would wander in.

What’s the significance of BBW for German car mechanics? Googling didn’t help

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

BBW is "big beautiful women". BMW is a German car make.

So every so often, you'd get someone whose 3 series wouldn't shift out of park getting advice from horny men who love fat women.
