We’ve dug up what’s trending lately so you don’t have to: some subs are long-standing groups having a current moment, others are recently growing communities reflecting new internet trends. But they’re all good ways to get curious or nosy or fascinated, or fall into wormholes of stuff you didn’t even know you were into (or needed).

Here’s a list of the latest subs taking up all our time these days. Check ‘em out, and let us know what communities are taking up space in *your* brains right now:

**r/NowThatsANiceStick**

For nice sticks found in the wild, and for people who want to stare at them. Touch grass, touch sticks?

**r/CupboardDetective**

Where you can freely judge the insides of strangers’ cupboards, pantries, and fridges. Go on, you know you want to.

**r/WhatIsMyCookieCutter**

A collection of the most confusing cutters and the cookies you can make with them. Cookie Monster may or may not be a mod…

**r/ShogunTVShow**

The book that’s now FX’s latest miniseries is rising up the Reddit charts. Just keep your eyes peeled for ‘spoiler’ flair.

**r/PencilStabbers**

When you get stabbed in the hand with a pencil I think you legally have to post it here now. Whom amongst us does not have a gray speck somewhere on their body?

**r/HappyCryingDads**

I have been visiting this subreddit just to look for my own dad (he’s not in there). I’m not crying, you’re crying. No, literally, you’re crying (if you’re a Dad featured here).

Make those suggestions below!

I remember when /r/reddit was for reddit updates and relevant news.

How are these trending?

r/NowThatsANiceStick has like 5 posts in the last week

r/happycryingdads has 5 posts in the last month

r/PencilStabbers has a couple more posts, but basically no comments at all

The shogun one is popular, and the others have some really popular posts recently so they make sense. But I don't see how those three are "trending".

...This is what you people spend your time on? Removing the "Save" button, turning the format menu into a contextless "T" with nothing to indicate it's a clickable element, and... whatever this post is?

The updated layout on web is so awful, I will abandon reddit before adopting it.

Ah, I guess it's time to ignore /u/NorthXCX if you're just going to post garbage fluff shit.

Are you trying to be cute? What is this? Don't do this.

Advertise this shit to people who *aren't* on this site. Don't bother with me, I'm already here and engaged more than 90 percent of your ~~bots~~ user base. Who do you think uses this sub?

Reddit has disabled comments on every announcement post related to Reddit's finances. If anyone wants a comments section for these posts, see /r/RDDT2

No post about the new dogshit UI? It takes double the time to get anywhere now, and scrolling just dies all the time.

Since you disabled compact Reddit you'd better fix the mobile website.

Re-adding the expand button in the feed would be a good start, also there's some kind of caching that prevents me from seeing the newest posts even if I keep refreshing the page.

Please revert the UI back to the way it was. This new UI is unfortunately annoying to navigate and has made moderating more annoying as well.

Whoever designed this 'new' UI needs to be fired because this is a garbage design.
