For stuff that's neat. Neat article? Neat video? Neat pic of a bug you saw? All good. Neat meme? Ehhh... take it to the meme subs.

Rules

  1. Don't be an asshole. If you're reading a comment you're about to make and think "Hmm... this sounds like the kind of comment an asshole would make" then do not make that comment. Yes, even if the other person "started it". The report button is your friend.
