Reddit folklore.

In the times when it felt like a small community, someone was in an airport, I think and thought another person was on Reddit. They asked how they could tell for sure, and it was decided there should be a question someone could ask, where the answer would make it clear that they were a Reddit user. The question was “when does a narwhal bacon”. The answer was midnight.

"It's like Reddit but decentralized! It's like a web forum, but with accounts that are like email addresses! It's really not that complicated! Just choose a server that-- Hey, where are you going?"

I used to be, but now I check Lemmy a couple times a day for a few mins. Otherwise I'm reading or watching Nebula.

Do you walk up to people and say, "beans"? What do they respond with?
