Reddit's Strangest Corners: Bread Stapled to Trees and Beyond

Reddit isn't just the front page of the internet — it's the back alleys, basements, and forgotten storage rooms. This episode goes spelunking into the deepest, weirdest corners of the platform, from r/BreadStapledToTrees (150,000 subscribers, strict fastener rules) to r/SubredditSimulator (where bots talk to each other while 100,000 humans watch). We break down what makes these communities work: frictionless creation, strict moderation, and discovery mechanics like the random button. Plus, we confront the dark side — how the same structural features that enable wholesome weirdness can also amplify toxicity, as seen in the evolution of r/Incels from support group to hate group.
