Sorry for tangent, but I was wondering is there a sort of playful version of this community that’s like what is this thing, where a person posts something unusual looking, and except then everyone has to contribute something entertaining that’s obviously not real. Like something funny describing and/or giving a name for it?
Seems like that would be kind of fun. Or is that just acceptable in this community for laughs?
That does sound quite fun - like /c/whatisntthisthing or something?
If you make it, they will come
