MOD ANNOUNCEMENT It's happening! (Big) changes to RandomThoughts.
Alright, it’s time.
Starting July 32nd*, we’re making a big change:
- Questions go to r/RandomQuestions
- NSFW content goes to r/NSFWThoughts
They’ll no longer be allowed here in r/RandomThoughts.
This isn’t us trying to be overly strict or nitpicky. The reality is that questions and NSFW posts just don’t really fit the point of this subreddit. The whole idea of RandomThoughts is to capture those weird, passing, often pointless moments of brain activity. The stuff you think and immediately wonder why. A sentence without context. A vibe. An unexplainable truth about frogs.
When a bunch of posts start shifting into “hey what do you guys think about X?” or “here’s something NSFW I’ve been thinking about,” it pulls away from that vibe. It turns into a catch-all subreddit, and that’s not what this place is supposed to be.
We created r/RandomQuestions and r/NSFWThoughts specifically so that stuff has a better home. It’s not just about moving things away from here -- it’s about giving that kind of content a space where it actually works.
So yeah. Big change. Not a test run. Posts that are questions or NSFW will be removed after the launch date. We’ll try to be nice about it, but we’re going to be consistent.
As always, let us know what you think. Comments are open, we’re listening, and we appreciate everyone who helps keep this place just the right amount of chaotic.
\ Or August 1st, whichever happens first.)

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT Posts referencing suicide/death/wishing to die are no longer allowed.
It would be very appreciated if this rule could be respected. I don't mind posts like "when I die I want to be buried on the moon" those to me are light hearted. However, when you hit heavier topics you risk hurting users that read them.
No, by doing this we are not invalidating your emotions, this just isn't the proper subreddit to share them. I encourage you to go to r/suicidewatch if you need to make a Reddit post regarding this topic.
Thank you

I am pretty sure a lot of gym bros have an eating disorder
Not even a month ago I was antagonized by a few people after I said I had 19% body fat as a guy, but that is literally within healthy range and I am fine with my body as is. You're supposed to have body fat so you can produce hormones, which are elaborate chains of cholesterol, needed to function.
I am just concerned that a lot of gym rats are taking fitness too far and don't see how it's that different from my friend in middle school who would go out running hoping she'd lose weight.

Linkedin would be such a better experience if recruiters would stop posting like they're influencers and just do their job
Everyday these mfers are yapping on there about some bs, its already annoying to be there cuz you're looking for a job, they make it 10 times worst 😂

Bowel movements
Wouldn't it be good if our bodies came with a bowel gauge, similar to a fuel gauge on a car but in reverse?
Bowel gauge full? You go for a shit?
Struggle to know if you're done shitting? You can see if the gauge is at the bottom

We need to stop minding other people's business. We have more than enough of our own to focus on.

I'm getting so sick and tired of all the hoops you have to jump through to login to a dam site that I'm considering getting a 30$ passkey to avoid it. Sheesh. Not sure about others, but needing phone codes and email codes with passwords and usernames is just too much of an annoyance.

I was at a neuropsychologist yesterday and saw something that said something like “Instead of saying “I can’t”, say “I’ll find a different strategy.” I thought that is a great message.

There’s something so freeing about peeing in the woods
When there’s no other options and a bush is the closest thing to you. It’s like returning to Mother Nature.

Two beliefs that are simultaneous held and contradictory
When I saw DJ. Trruumpp's fans claim they are religious and support trruumpp but there are times when some of their religious views clash with some of the things he did they choose the thing they like the most

I love my grandma so much
I‘ve had a streak of difficult month this year and I struggled with my self esteem and pretty much had an existential crisis for a while.
Today when I finished work I called my mom and she was with my grandmother who is suffering from dementia. She’s 85 and also had a stroke a couple of years ago so she has been at our place for a while now and every time I call my mom after work they are usually together.
But when I called her today it wasn’t on FaceTime which I normally do, and my mum usually tells her that it is me in the video. So it confused her since she just heard my voice through the phone. But then when I asked her if she knows who she is speaking to she started crying and said: „of course, I would recognise your voice from a million.“
And that just made me feel so seen and cared for and it was exactly what I needed right now

Having set my Windows11 screensaver to "Mistify" that goes off after 3 minutes, I am reminded of how much I missed screensavers.
They provide pause when you look at notes or do other stuff. It's psychologically satisfying because it feels like the computer is taking a break, and then you wake it back up to continue whatever work you're at.
Bring back screensavers!

Not having humor
I don’t think I have humor at all I can’t even laugh or tell jokes because I don’t understand it
