If you’re nostalgic for the Reddit of ten years ago, we have good news: you can now relive it.
The new subreddit r/Stuck10YearsBehind imagines what the platform was like a decade ago. Unsurprisingly, it’s a warm, nostalgic place that reminds me…

There’s now a place for shaming companies that use egregious packaging
Excessive packaging is a massive contributor to global waste — and if governments won’t call manufacturers on it, we’re going to have to resort to nerds on Reddit.
Sigh.
Recently launched subreddit r/EgregiousPackaging captures some of the most excessive offenders in the biz. Contributors share photos of the packages they’ve received, often drowning in paper or plastic.
Look at this shit.
I live in New York City and I never understood why grocery stories insist on wrapping a single rancid pea in plastic wrap and styrofoam. Why must my 5-month-old snow peas be drowned in BPA? Read more…

This post is part of Hard Refresh, a soothing weekly column where we try to cleanse your brain of whatever terrible thing you just witnessed on Twitter.
We’ve all come across babies who seem older than they really are — by about, um, 70 years.
Often, it’s temporary. I, for one, looked like my mother’s tax accountant until I was six-months-old. And I’ve come across more than one infant who looks like they’d rather play solitaire on the computer than make dumb faces at millennials.
The subreddit r/OldBabies has ’em all.
The community collects photos of babies who appear to be senior citizens in various states of aging. I can’t stop scrolling through, and frankly I have no intention of stopping. Read more…

Donald Glover fans have taken over a Donald Trump subreddit to praise their one, true Donald

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who confuses Donald Glover with Donald Trump.
The two, though both wildly famous, thankfully don’t have much in common besides their first name — until now. Now, they share a subreddit. Kind of.
Over the weekend, Reddit’s r/thedonald suffered quite the identity crisis when a rogue band of internet trolls decided that the community needed a makeover. What began as sub built to share news and thoughts about Trump was uncovered by fans of Glover, who took it upon themselves to spam the page with all things related to the actor, comedian, and musician.
Though r/thedonald should not to be mistaken for the much larger, far more notorious Reddit community r/the_donald, it does currently have 16,000 subscribers. And they are all probably pretty annoyed. Read more…
