Best of Reddit - Introduction:
There are so many great threads on reddit, every single day, but soon they disappear into the void - for the very nature of reddit itself. This is a place to save what I find most “useful” in a given week.
I’d bet that the quality of this panel is gonna vary a lot on a week by week basis, but I hope that overall it’s gonna be worthwile — you’ll be the judge of that.
• What if the D-Day never happened
Without the D-Day the world would be a completely different place with the soviets storming all over Europe and changing the balance of world power probably for a very long time.
How a wrong translation can drastically ruin everything. [NSFW]
• Industrialization in Middle Earth
The link is misleading, don’t mind it.
• What to do if you got control over squirrels
For once a single comment, but it struck me out how that could really work even in today’s world. But imagine what would happen if it happened a few hundreds years in the past, you would ended up as god.
• What happens after a wow release in it’s subreddit
Aka: hell breaks lose.
He didn’t even last a day. So much lost potential.
• WritingPrompts - An identity theif steals someone’s identity only to realize their life sucks, and proceeds to better it
I never thought about it this way, but I guess he’s right - still, fuck taxes.
• Reddit admin asks the community how they should spend the venture funding they got
It’s great to see one company caring this much about it’s users, it’s a rare sight in tech lately.
What a man can go through…

Bonus: Philae landed successfully on a comet. that’s probably the greatest news for space exploration since the landing on the moon in 1969. It’s sad to see that nothing major happened between these 2 moments ( yes, I know that we launched Hubble, the international space stations and countless robots around - but nothing at this magnitude until now).
