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.)

Car brakes should show how hard they're hitting the brakes
Literally just make them a vertical stack of light bars that fill up more or less depending on how hard you hit the brakes. That way people can immediately tell if the person is hitting them hard enough to warrant a bigger reaction.
I know , I know Ideally people should just leave enough space to brake in time but we all know a lot of people don't. This feels like an easy way to prevent accidents

Being single sucks so much that I have to force myself to believe that being single is better than being in a relationship with many unreasonable excuses.

I have the funniest intrusive thoughts
I have intrusive thoughts and these intrusive thoughts are always the funniest shit possible. Like I have Pingu screaming the Wii boxing victory song in my head, replacing every du with a noot 😭

Fumbled Romance on the Chicago L
Recently took a ride on the “L” public rail system in Chicago while visiting. Got on the train with my family and we mostly spread out across the rail car. However, I was standing near my uncle, so we chatted for most of the probably 15 min ride.
Across from me sits this girl who I notice to be quite pretty and whom I thought looked to be about my age (~22y/o). I looked her way a few times but thought nothing more.
Turns out, when we get off the train, my uncle says that he saw that girl checking me out several times during the ride and I was oblivious to it. As long as my uncle wasn’t misinterpreting it, if I knew that she thought I was attractive I probably would have sat next to her and talked to her a little bit.
It was a great feeling and makes me wish I said something anyway because she really was beautiful and I only fully recognized it after I heard that.

I have a cut on my finger and it hurts to play guitar.
And I really want to. But damn it's right in the crease of my index finger on my fretting hand. Damn.

It’s weird that we have phrases like “wait a second” or “wait a minute” but never “wait an hour”.

It will be interesting to see to what extent AI reverts us back into a two class system.
Let’s say we go to the extremes and say we are now at the stage where AI can replace most jobs, all these middle class jobs such as working in finance, office work and banking etc could be replaced.
So in theory all that could be left is manual work such as working class tradesmen, and the top end company owners.
So I wonder if AI will shrink the middle class and create that 2 class system in the olden days with only being filthy rich or dirt poor

I don't like mornings. It's the end of me-time.
Mornings aren't relaxing. Even on the weekends, you have to prepare to show yourself to everyone around you when you go grocery shopping and whatnot.

I find Australian accent hot
Don't know why, but as soon as I hear a girl with an Australian accent I automatically get very interested in her.

My director asked everyone what they were doing for Halloween except me
Kind of a shitty feeling tbh. Had an in person meeting with 10 of us.
