The Subreddit WellThatSucks has changed their rules so it’s now only accepting vaccume cleaners
This is just getting stupid now and I love it
Text from post:
Greetings, fellow vacuum enthusiasts and members of r/WellThatSucks! Today, we have an incredible tale to share with you, one that will shed light on the origins of our subreddit and the reason behind our new rule changes. So gather 'round and prepare to embark on a whimsical journey through the story of Mr. Wells.
The Legend of Mr. Wells, the Vacuum Whisperer
Picture this: in a small, picturesque town named Suckville, nestled deep in the heart of a state called Cleanylvania, there lived a man named Mr. Wells. Now, Mr. Wells was no ordinary citizen. He had a knack for selling vacuum cleaners like no one else in the land.
With his charisma, knowledge, and passion for suction power, Mr. Wells was a force to be reckoned with in the vacuum cleaner industry. He could convince even the most skeptical customers that they absolutely needed the latest model of vacuum cleaner to keep their homes pristine. But little did he know that his life was about to take a fateful turn.
The Birth of “Well, That Sucks!”
One fateful day, as Mr. Wells was demonstrating a cutting-edge vacuum cleaner to a potential customer, disaster struck. The vacuum malfunctioned, spewing dust and debris all over the room. Mr. Wells, with a wry smile on his face, muttered the now-legendary phrase, “Well, that sucks!” Little did he realize that this seemingly mundane moment would change his life forever.
Inspired by this comedic mishap, Mr. Wells set out on a quest to create a community where people could share their own vacuum cleaner woes and mishaps. Thus, the subreddit r/WellThatSucks was born. It became a safe haven for people to commiserate, laugh, and find solace in the shared struggles of dealing with vacuum cleaners.
Rule Changes - Embracing Our Roots
With the rich history of Mr. Wells and the origins of r/WellThatSucks in mind, we’ve decided to make some exciting rule changes that will take our subreddit back to its vacuum-centric roots.
Rule 1: All Posts Must Be About Vacuum Cleaners
Effective immediately, we are refocusing our subreddit exclusively on the topic of vacuum cleaners. From stories of triumph over dirt and dust to unfortunate vacuuming accidents, we want to see and hear it all. Let’s transform r/WellThatSucks into the ultimate hub for vacuum cleaner enthusiasts and those who appreciate the trials and tribulations of keeping their spaces clean.
Rule 2: All Comments Must Be “Wellthatsucks”
To pay homage to the iconic phrase that sparked our subreddit’s creation, we’re introducing a fun twist to our comment section. Starting now, every comment you make on r/WellThatSucks must consist solely of the phrase “Wellthatsucks.” Let this phrase be the language that unites us, showcasing our solidarity in the face of vacuum cleaner challenges.
We believe that these rule changes will not only honor the legacy of Mr. Wells but also create a unique and engaging community experience that embraces the humor and frustration inherent in vacuum cleaner mishaps.
Join Us in the Vacuum Cleaner Revolution!
We hope you’ll join us on this whimsical journey through the vacuum cleaner-filled world of r/WellThatSucks. Share your stories, photos, videos, and questions about all things vacuum cleaner-related. And remember, whether you’re sharing your experiences, offering advice, or simply reacting to a post, the phrase “Wellthatsucks” will be our language of choice.
Awesome, that rule #2 had me in tears
That’s got to be written by Chatgpt lmao. Still funny 😆
The obvious ChatGPTness of it makes it funnier imo.
Staaaaap, I cannot eat that much popcorn 🤣🤣🤣
Really hoping amitheasshole becomes a place where people post a picture of assholes and you have to decide if that is a picture of their asshole or someone else’s asshole.
Or just has photos of spez.
Thats-the-same-picture.png
I might help with that one!! 🤣
Malicious compliance, love it!
This kind of hilarity is why I started using Reddit back in the day. So it might be helping Reddit as well.
Hmmm, good point. On one hand, this amusing stuff could be bringing people back to Reddit and boosting the level of engagement just through people showing up to take part in shows of, well, refusing to take part.
On the other paw, though, if these things last then people may eventually get bored and stop showing up. Are enough people that vapid that they’ll come by day after day just to say “wellthatsucks” and post a pic of John Oliver? Hopefully not.
If they are, then… sigh
Are you half dog?
bwaaahahahaa i love it, john oliver in pics was already amazing 😂
Based Infinity user.
I wonder if /r/onlyfans will swap their content also.
r/nofans a nsfw sub for girls without an onlyfan’s page to post has become about liquid cooling motherboards.
And /r/superbowl.
wait wait wait…would it be only super bowls or superb owls?
Yes.
It’s already superb owls, so we would have to swap to superbowl content.
Not the most biteing change.
I like super bowls though. “Super salad bowl”
Mod here of superbowl, I’m tempted to, but then we would just swap it to superbowl content?
I’ll bring it up with the other head mod.
The best salad bowls you can find at IKEA.
/r/trees and /r/MarijuanaEnthusiasts Imagine the chaos.
I believe it’s an actual April fool’s tradition to swap anyway.
I think they should combine their minds with r/johncena and r/potatosalad
r/anime_titties and r/worldpolitics
Hi it’s BelleAriel. Please make me a mod lol
Hahahaha I’m loving all this malicious compliance.
While this is funny, I think this will actually increase traffic to the Reddit, hence increase ad revenue?
Unless they put a link to go somewhere else for the content users are actually looking for to redirect traffic, I don’t think this will do a whole lot.
Yeah I like the idea of sidestepping the mod dethronings by reddit, but I’ve seen in practice it just makes the subs more popular until the idea looses steam. People want to be a part of the meme and it makes the subs busy as hell, not really wreck them. It’s malicious compliance that still gives users reasons to engage with Reddit and even log on to check stuff.
Man I love the way mods try to fight back admins by doing this, hilarious seeing this
Reddit is getting weirder and weirder. And I’m loving it
Will this rule change be indefinitely, or just for a shorter period of time?
Probably until the admins replace the current mods with scabs.
This is the PSA video for that subreddit.
