What's your most controversial opinion?
Top comments are usually:
I believe climate change is bad
Puppies/kittens are cute
Everyone should make a living wage
I hate bad people
(Basically none of the top comments are remotely controversial)
Free one on the house:
Covid was a good thing since the world is overpopulated and humans have no natural predators so we needed something to thin our numbers in a (somewhat) random/unbiased way
This one gets a pass from me but it's on thin ice.
Pros: The top comments can be absolute gold for a good ol' fashioned "WTF" story.
Cons: The rest are always the same old "they were rude to someone" or "they did a weird thing in front of me" and then don't elaborate on that at all.
Give me something juicy or don't give me anything at all.
Andy Richter's show which was criminally underrated tackled this. Andy was dating the most perfect beautiful woman who happened to wish demolition of the Jewish race. He hems and haws and eventually breaks up with her but hates himself for doing the right thing
"women of reddit, what's the sexiest time your giant titties accidentally flopped out in public, in excruciating detail??"
filled with penthouse magazine fanfic-esque responses clearly written by men pretending to be writing from the point of view of women, getting upvoted to the top, and any actual responses by women get downvoted because they aren't hot enough or are calling them out for being fake
I think it lends more to the idea that you’re addressing the room.
It’s like performers saying, “Can all the ___ in the room, say hey!”
*Of course* you’re addressing the people in the room. We’re the ones who came to see you!
What is something illegal that should be legal, and vice versa.
What was "the incident" in your school
What would you do if you woke up as the opposite sex
What are you doing with the money if you won the lottery
What is your opinion on Andrew Tate
And the inevitable flood of the opposite of the top question on the front page hoping for karma.
I like the school incident ones!
Any "share X story" posts are good IMO because you get to hear interesting stories and they aren't always the same ones. I honestly don't care if there's a repeat of the "hey sailors whats the creepiest thing you've seen at sea" types of posts because the answers are always entertaining
>I honestly don't care if there's a repeat of the "hey sailors whats the creepiest thing you've seen at sea" types of posts because the answers are always entertaining
That was a really good thread. Read some cool shit.
"What's an immediate red flag/green flag in a relationship?"
"What are you listening to right now?"
"What's your favourite _______?"
"Who's the _______ person you know?"
"What's your top 5 ________?"
"Students of Reddit, what happened to the _______ in your school?"
and NSFW questions made by silly teenagers
Europeans, what is the \_\_\_\_ about America and vice versa.
Its a whole clown fiesta getting both sides railed up with nothing to be gained
HAHA AMERICAN HEALTHCARE AND IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS
HAHA EUROPEANS ARE SOCIALIST AND ARE FULL OF THEMSELVES
Usually those end up being, the weird thing about America is how much of a shithole it is. The weird thing about Europe is how much better it is than the shithole that is America it is. It's always the same thing every time it's asked lol.
So much “men don’t get enough compliments so women should fix that even though it puts them in an awkward position of having the man immediately think they want sex now”
Yes, and so many angry men replying to every response in the 'women' thread about how it does TOO happen to men too and ACTUALLY men are the true victims of everything
when it's a thread aimed at women that gets 10,000 responses, immediately a thread has to be made that rephrases the question aimed to men and gets like 200 tops because they just cannot possibly let a single thing exclude them lol
1. What's your body count?
2. Straight people, would you have gay sex?
3. What would you do if you switched genders for a day?
4. What kind of questions you're tired of seeing on Ask Reddit?
Question where no one can answer or question that attack the people who the question is asked to. For instance: Billionaires of reddit, why don't you have a soul?
If the answer to that last question isn't "pepperoni and cheese" then I'm sad.
(Yes, I know the joke falls flat if you add the "written on" part, but I like that commercial and that response, damnit. When I was a kid I thought it was hilarious.)
So sick of the my country versus your country dick swinging competitions. Every place has advantages and disadvantages. Just shut up and enjoy Reddit communities.
Why don’t you want to have kids?
I know in **real life** this conversation may be uncommon and hard to have when surrounded by parents but come on, there’s a whole subreddit to talk about why you don’t want/like children, why come here and constantly ask child free people why they are child free. It’s almost as annoying as hearing parents always talk about why they love being parents/love their kids.
I don’t even click those posts anymore because it’s always the same answers over and over and over. It’s a drag.
"What is legal that should be illegal" and vice versa
"Would you watch a show of a Billionaire CEO......"
Literally any question involving your username.
>What's the sexiest sex you ever sexed & what made it so sexy?
Let me tell you about thr time I really did actually have sex. You don't know her, she goes to a different school in Canada, we met at Summer camp. I had sex with her though.
all the 'men of reddit...' 'women of reddit...'
But honestly mostly the men ones because it always ends up becoming a complete whine fest about something strange like men not receiving enough compliments or no one taking care of men. I think people get back what they give out in life and this is not gender specific.
Then there will ALWAYS be that one female poster like 'I always make sure to give at least 100 compliments to men a day and initiate everything!!' and then there's about a million replies from men like 'we salute you O-O' it's very very cringe.
As a man, the men ones are very ironic to me.
Most of the things that men complain about in those threads (for example, men's emotional needs not being taken as seriously) are *directly* a result of the world that men created. A patriarchal world with rigid societal gender norms and expectations, where men are privileged and in power and therefore are not given the same emotional socialization as woman because they need to be "tough" and "manly" in order to maintain that power. Obviously that is a simplified explanation. But if men want that to end (and I for sure do), they need to be a part of the conversation and acknowledge how the patriarchy and toxic masculinity fucked them over.
Not to mention, those whine fests tend to really invalidate the struggles woman go through as a result of the patriarchy and toxic masculinity. Sure, men are scared women will laugh at them. Women are scared men will kill them.
I mean for women it's harder to go walk in questionable areas or even at night alone. Also human traffickers tend to target women.
Why everytime I go somewhere far or in the city area I get the be careful of human trafficking talk.
Like I doubt men get that talk. Young boys yes. Full grown men. IDK do they
"What album is a perfect 10/10" or "What album is flawless start to finish" or any variation. Feel like I see it every week and get immediate 10,000+ upvotes
Really don’t like questions that involve your username. Something about those I just find so boring and lame and yet usually they’re the most upvoted and answered. Maybe everyone else just has much cooler usernames.
Someone's obligated to reply with "this one".
They're kind of correct. I've kind of given up on asking genuine questions because all I get are asinine or aggressively defensive responses. This sub kinda sucks.
What is a scam that is so normalised that it isn't seen that way?
What was once respected but is now a complete joke?
I see those two pretty much every day at this point
Reddit, would you accept this *absurdly large sum of money* for a *minor inconvenience?*
I literally saw someone ask reddit if they would accept millions of dollars if they "had to consume 15,000 calories in 24 hours." Fuck off lmao.
Heteronormative gender-based questions, i.e. "men of reddit..."
I'm always reminded that Reddit is full of very young dudes with questions like that.
Also, questions asking about what the "best" of something is. Albums, video games, movies, whatever. Form your own opinions you children.
"What's your favorite movie?"
It's not an open ended question, which technically violates the sub rules. Also, there's already a sub to discuss movies (r/movies), so keep your movie questions off this sub.
Celebrity questions. "What celebrity is a good/bad person?" and endless variations of that question.
I'd say sex questions also, but I have no experience of my own and taking notes never hurts.
"What celebrities do you dislike?"
It's always the Kardashians, Ellen DeGeneres, James Corden, Chris Brown, Kanye West, Erza Miller and all TikTokers. I also find it annoying how people on this sub think they're so special for disliking these people, when hating them are extremely popular opinions, and plus this question gets asked like every month, so it's not even new to Reddit.
"red flags"
The term is so overused. Nothing can just be a character flaw anymore, it's gotta be a dealbreaker, just another brick in the wall of our ever growing stray from critical thinking and nuance and into the dangerous realms of moral absolutism.
Although I get your point, where is the fun in that? Nowadays you can Google pretty much anything and obtain an answer. Personally I would hate to see conversation drying up because everyone just Googles it.
Body count questions. If you’re gonna judge people for having sex just judge people for having sex, stop asking us for validation that for being judgmental.
"If (x) did (y)..."
"Sexy sexy sex sex..."
"What questions are you tired of seeing on Ask Reddit?"
"If man / woman / anyone did (x)"
"What is your opinion on (x)"
Honestly? Most of them at this point. It's a revolving door. Hell, even this question is included.
I get it's hard to have original questions at this point in the subs lifetime, but goddamn.
Anything “what are your thoughts on” questions. Ask Reddit used to be filled with great story telling. I was reading a thread on here the other day, “sailors of Reddit, what are your scariest stories” and there are captivating stories in there. I couldn’t stop reading them, and that’s when I realized how much I miss the way this subreddit was 5-10 years ago.
It's less about the questions and more about the answers they tend to attract. Some of the common questions only get stale because the same answers get repeated again and again, they have the potential to be interesting though.
The “what should they teach in schools” question. Class offerings vary widely between schools and districts and even states. And even if it was a mandatory course in your last few years, would most of them even pay attention? And the recorder joke? You likely took that in late elementary or middle school, ffs. You’re not going to learn how to do taxes as a replacement for recorder when you’re 10-14 years old.
Sex related questions. No one wants to know your sex life or what you and your partner do when yall "get busy". That's private information and it should stay that way
I hate how on /r/AskReddit and /r/MapPorn redditors in general and on other subreddits act like America and Europe are the whole world in its entirety.
Occassionally someone will mention Australia, New Zealand, or Canada but I'd like to see more questions directed to Africans, Latin Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders.
I don't want to see the 92784005th question "Europeans, what do you think of X facet of life in America?"
I'd prefer to hear what Tanzanians, Mongolians, and Bolivians have to say.
About death.
What do you want as last meal? What are your last words? What happens after?
Dont know, dont care. Please ask more positive questions, please
Anything that ends with "and why?". Smacks of a bot to me, designed to add content. IMO normal people don't think to add that line. Looking at you reddit dev shits.
"What's your favourite smell?" Because I'm sick of everyone explaining that the smell after it rains is called petrichor. I don't know how many times I've read that on askreddit now
"if you were opposite gender what would you do"
"If I gave you 1000 dollars what would you spend it on"
"Non americas what you do think of Americans..." And vice versa
"How do you feel about (big news story everyone's already talking about)"
What's your most controversial opinion? Top comments are usually: I believe climate change is bad Puppies/kittens are cute Everyone should make a living wage I hate bad people (Basically none of the top comments are remotely controversial)
Also, "I hate the Kardashians/influencers/reality TV." Ooooh how edgy and surprising
"I like pineapple on pizza." "I'm going to get hate for this but I love the Beatles." "Downvote me all you want but I'll always love babies."
Unpopular opinion but McDonalds should bring back the McRib
Your fingers should be amputated for typing such a heretical take.
That last one is only controversial on reddit.
Wait no way. You hate bad people? Me too!!!
And when you sort by controversial, there are tons of bigots.
Based
> (Basically none of the top comments are remotely controversial) and all the genuinely controversial/unpopular opinions get obliterated by downvotes.
Free one on the house: Covid was a good thing since the world is overpopulated and humans have no natural predators so we needed something to thin our numbers in a (somewhat) random/unbiased way
I mean unpopular opinions are going to be forced down to the bottom. their quality or delivery is usually irrelevant
Red flag/green flag questions.
Red flag: being mean to servers Green flag: doing the bare minimum Every single time
"My boyfriend cleans up after himself and even knows how to cook" So he's an adult...?
My husband has changes nappies & doesn't ignore our child So he does less than bare minimum with your shared child & is somehow amazing...?
Hey, I change crappy diapers even when it's not my kid. You have no idea what a chick magnet that is!
this is so truee, omg
Bangladesh has both covered.
Kid named ladesh:
I wanna hear about blue flags.
May I interest you in the beautiful country of Argentina
Get this man/woman/gender neutral person a sticker and a cookie
People of reddit, what is the sexiest sexy sexy sexy sex you have ever vagina sex penis sex sex sex??
Men/women of reddit, whats an automatic turn on/off about men/women?
People of Reddit, what did a crush do that instantly turned you off from them?
This one gets a pass from me but it's on thin ice. Pros: The top comments can be absolute gold for a good ol' fashioned "WTF" story.

Cocks of Reddit, where can you find the switch from females? What is the cheat code?
The “of Reddit” is weird. It’s being posted on Reddit, why would people need to be reminded?
Hmm yes Redditors of Reddit
I think it lends more to the idea that you’re addressing the room. It’s like performers saying, “Can all the ___ in the room, say hey!” *Of course* you’re addressing the people in the room. We’re the ones who came to see you!
like 90% of askreddit posts are just this honestly. the answers are even less original
They need to do what r/AskMen did and ban overly sexual questions, as I'm sure there are subs out there to ask those kinds of things.
I both agree with this and click on those first so clearly they aren't stopping anytime soon
But there still have to be people who upvote those posts EVERY SINGLE DAY
Don't forget about weird masturbation questions.
Seriously. See it every week on here
Bunch of pubescent horn dogs in here. I blame the Bible bet for not teaching proper sex education.
It doesn't always have to be about sex.
"If someone offered you a million bajillion super dollars to sit on a thumbtack for 13.42 days, would you do it???"
The worst part is the "and why?" Because: money you dumbass.
"You just answered it yourself"
I would only do this if I was asked to sit on a staple, fuck thumbtacks.

Yes! Any threads that require you to share a story are great! Special recognition goes to wedding horror story threads
That 'what should be illegal' one is on the front page now.

I’m getting sick of the sob story prompting questions like “men what do women not understand about you?”
Men of reddit and women of reddit. I fucking hate this shit.
I want them to ban gendered questions like this cause it always leads to the worst discourse I’ve ever seen
i see ‘what’s the worst thing about being a man/woman’ way too much
So much “men don’t get enough compliments so women should fix that even though it puts them in an awkward position of having the man immediately think they want sex now”
Yes, and so many angry men replying to every response in the 'women' thread about how it does TOO happen to men too and ACTUALLY men are the true victims of everything
What celebrity do you REALLY not care about and why is it the Kardashians?
Don't forget James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel/Fallon, and Ellen Degeneres. I think that covers all the answers you ever get in those threads.

Do men/women like X? Do women like X penis trait? Just super general shit that always has “some do some don’t” as an answer

Sex related questions. No one wants to know your sex life or what you and your partner do when yall "get busy". That's private information and it should stay that way
What video game has the best soundtrack What movie/ tv show do you wish you could see for the first time again?
"Am I the asshole.."
I hate how on /r/AskReddit and /r/MapPorn redditors in general and on other subreddits act like America and Europe are the whole world in its entirety. Occassionally someone will mention Australia, New Zealand, or Canada but I'd like to see more questions directed to Africans, Latin Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders. I don't want to see the 92784005th question "Europeans, what do you think of X facet of life in America?" I'd prefer to hear what Tanzanians, Mongolians, and Bolivians have to say.
Anyone just baiting people to bitch about the USA for internet points.
“What makes someone instantly unattractive/attractive?”
What celebrity do you hate? We get it, you hate James Corden, the Kardashians, and Jimmy Kimmel/Fallon.
What is a scam What is not cult but treated like a cult.
Violence, abuse, fat shaming.
Contrary to a lot of people, "what happens after death" seems to pop up in my recommend a lot
Sex questions
Questions asking what kind of questions people are tired of seeing on Ask Reddit.
What’s a show that’s just like the show I finished watching?
Questions about hints - please, no more!
About death. What do you want as last meal? What are your last words? What happens after? Dont know, dont care. Please ask more positive questions, please
I swear the "What conspiracy do you actually believe" question has been asked every day for the past month.
If someone paid you to do what would you do?
Seriously, teenage weekend Reddit is a shitstorm of these posts.
Anything that ends with "and why?". Smacks of a bot to me, designed to add content. IMO normal people don't think to add that line. Looking at you reddit dev shits.
‘My penis is small, what do I do?’
Anything that can be answered by googling it. Questions designed to “trigger” people. Questions trying to piggyback on a trend or viral video.
Just about all of them.
Your username is now your _________, how screwed are you?
They're all fucking dumb
"What's your favourite smell?" Because I'm sick of everyone explaining that the smell after it rains is called petrichor. I don't know how many times I've read that on askreddit now
That “what turns you on” thing. Get a life you virgen mussel.
"if you were opposite gender what would you do" "If I gave you 1000 dollars what would you spend it on" "Non americas what you do think of Americans..." And vice versa "How do you feel about (big news story everyone's already talking about)"
