I have multiple reddit accounts and on one my front page was literally blank so it depends on what subs you look at

Subreddits you are going to miss?
I'm gonna miss /r/buttcoin. It's a great place to watch crypto bros lose everything. How will I know when cz is arrested?

I don't really know how this system works but if I'm on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?

I like this significantly better than Mastodon

I didn't like Twitter for that reason. Often I'd follow someone because I saw some posts they made about something I'm interested in. Then suddenly they're flooding my feed with stuff I don't care about and often being really annoying while they do it.
I rarely find someone who I like all their posts. So it's like do I just put up with the furry porn retweets because this person is a genius who occasionally posts about really interesting hacks?

The unlikely rise of Malört as Chicago’s drink
Reply in thread
It tastes like some kinda fancy herbal liqueur that someone accidentally dumped a bottle of crushed up tylenol into. It's aggressively bitter. The best description I've heard was "Well gin, with a baby asprin wrapped in grapefruit peel and rubber bands"
It's really hard to explain but as you drink it you kinda start to like it. I was given a shot by a stranger when I first visited Chicago. I wound up moving to Chicago not long after that. I was given more shots at nearby bars as a "Welcome to the neighborhood" kinda thing and I was like "noo no thanks I know this game" and drank them only to be polite.
But before I knew it, I wanted some, so I bought a bottle at the liquor store. Now I legitimately want a shot of it sometimes... over other liquors. I never feel like drinking a shot of any other hard A. When I moved here I only drank beer. Now I only drink beer and the occasional shot of malort.
It's fun to do a shot of malort with someone you just met. It's fun to give it to people who aren't from Chicago. It's fun to be in Chicago the first time and someone hands you one and says "welcome to Chicago buddy" and you drink it and think "What the fuck? These people are insane"
It's weird, it's not for everyone, it's a little much, it's unlike anything else, and yet it grows on you really quick. And I think that basically makes it Chicago in liquor form.

I'm surprised elon didn't build a sub to go find the missing one and then call the coast guard a bunch of pedophiles

Beto’s Pizza - Pittsburgh
This is without a doubt the worst pizza I have ever seen. At first I thought whoever took this picture was too drunk to cook a frozen pizza. Then I saw the comments saying its "ohio valley style" and I thought it was making fun of ohio and I was about say that ohio doesn't deserve that. But no its real. what the fuck?

Do it. It's one of those things that's unpleasant but you get to bond with everyone else who's done it and it's over quick
