“Reddit Moment”

A link posted when Reddit commentary or discussion gets so self-referential it may evoke feelings of awkwardness, embarrassment or even pity. The phrase is a particularly popular way to mock times when a Redditor is demonstrating how they believe Reddit is the superior social networking platform in contrast with other sites. Which, of course, it is. r/redditmoment.

You might have noticed by now that Reddit has a few predictable trends, and one glorious Reddit Moment occurred in 2022 when all the tropes collided in one huge melange of “Reddit being Reddit�� after one hapless Redditor found the fluffiest of cute kittens and innocently enquired upon its breed. So, let’s play….. Reddit Bingo! See if you can spot the following Reddit Moments[1]:

1: https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/vdx5pa/anyone_know_what_breed/

Extreme on-topic pedantry
Extreme off-topic pedantry
On-topic pop culture references
Someone not recognising pop culture references and being totally confused
Unrelated pop culture references
Song references 🎵or someone “singing”🎶
Doggo speak
Comment chains
Duplicate comments from people not having noticed someone else posted it first
Duplicate comments from people not caring that someone else posted it first
Someone who feels it important to point out that the comment is a duplicate one
Mainstream subreddit links
Niche subreddit links
Cynical accusations of karma farming
People demanding rule changes
People threatening to leave the sub
Irate “stop posting this stuff” when bewildered OP hasn’t ever posted there before
Off-topic arguments
Inappropriate awards
Deliberate misunderstanding of the question
Sincere but wrong answer being piled upon
Arguments about any of the Reddit moments listed above

The only thing that would have put the cherry on the cake would have been the appearance of one of the wandering Reddit poets with a cutesy rhyme. I must say, I was sorely tempted to add one but didn’t, so I’ll post it here instead:

There’s a kitten in the car park

And I don’t know what to do!

I asked her how she got in there

But all she’ll say is “mew”.

I’ll pick the tiny fuzzball up

And hold her in my hand

I think we own each other now

Although it wasn’t planned.
