Reddit, if countries were people who would be dating? : AskReddit (warning: attachments contain profanity)

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/qt9bl/reddit_if_countries_were_people_who_would_be/

Reddit has some of the most interesting content on the Internet. People post pictures, jokes, questions, and stories. What happens next in the comments is a smorgasbord of puns, memes, trolls, obscenities, more obscenities, links to pictures/videos of God knows what (I warned you not to click), and also some of the funniest, most genuine and intelligent discussions I've ever read.

Top Posts gets thousands of comments. Commenters skew male and teenaged so there are many sex, penis, and masturbation jokes. But as with anything on the Internet, you've got to sift a lot of chaff to find the grain.

I love the IAMA's (I Am A police officer, ask me anything. I am a self made millionaire, ask me anything. I had a near death experience, ask me anything. I am Zach Braff (from Scrubs), ask me anything).

Reddit/earthporn has the most amazing pictures of places around the planet.

Reddit/askreddit once had a guy, newly divorced with a 4 year old daughter, ask how to style kids hair. It got 100's of responses. Easy styles for school days, how often to wash hair, what kind of brush to use, what kind of hairbands to use, good kids shampoo,...

Reddit/firstworldproblems: "red lights don't last long enough to send a txt message" "I have 5000 songs on my ipod but I'm bored with all of them"

Reddit/todayilearned : "today I learned Andrew Zimmern of Food Channel's Bizarre Foods was homeless at one time and battled drug addiction" He went on to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) about it

One post asked "have you ever had an experience that you could not explain." if only half of those replies were true, it would make anyone a believer in paranormal experiences.

I could go on but instead I'll just say that my favorite Reddit app for Android is Reddit News Free. For WebOS, RedIt.

Enjoy your new addiction...
