this is totally going to sound /r/iamverysmart but the main reason i love this sub is it comes up with shit i wouldn’t ever dream of coming up with myself.

with normal ideas, even when someone better than me has a good joke or a good idea, i’m always at least part-of-the-way there and so some of the magic or surprise is lost. i imagine this is the case with most people as they grow older — everything starts being a little more predictable than when they were little and everything was new and awesome.

but with this … i still get to experience genuine surprise even if it’s ridiculous or stupid.
