Here are a few less-known subreddits I've been enjoying: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtefactPorn/ -- active subreddit, lots of interesting miscellaneous images of old historical items https://www.reddit.com/r/heraldry/ -- coat of arms, etc https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/ -- good for worldbuilders

If you enjoy historical artefacts, you'll probably enjoy the 'History of the World in 100 Objects' podcasts:

https://www.reddit.com/r/VXJunkies/ is fun, but can be a bit hard to follow if you're not well versed in the field.

Is this one of those things where all the terms are made up to sound really technical and the whole thing's a joke? I don't get it.

It took a while for me to understand Yalgeth's Limit, but once that piece of information cracked itself open, the rest of it all really falls into place.

Edit: Check out the wikia to get started (http://vxmodules.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Started) Be careful though, the first time you ever calibrate a wide-angle spectrograph, you'll be hooked!

Today I clicked on a random story off the HN front page, then found a random comment on that story.

Then I clicked on the subreddit linked from that HN story. I saw a submission in there by a guy I sub to on Youtube... referencing a reply to a video he made that I watched like two days ago.

The hell? How does the Internet work?

The nth world problems series of subreddits. You can start with the second world problems ( https://www.reddit.com/r/SecondWorldProblems/ ), and climb all the way to the thousandth world ( https://www.reddit.com/r/1000thworldproblems/ ). Lots of amusing content on the Fifth World: https://www.reddit.com/r/FifthWorldPics https://www.reddit.com/r/FifthWorldProblems

I can't believe this slipped under me. In all the years I've been on reddit I never once came as far as 4th world, let alone 1000th.

I just wish my local VX vendors would get their act together, I can't for the life of me find anyone selling a Baltovsky chamber.

I just looked through this subreddit and I still have no idea what this is all about. Please explain.

It's basically high quality shitposting. You make up technical terms (remember "flux-capacitor") and bring up elaborate ideas.

Depending on your comment history, this recommender can suggest some pretty weird ones. A warning, some of them can be NSFW.

You do need Reddit Enhancement Suite installed to enjoy it to the fullest. XD

That was fun.
