Second time I've said this on hubski this week, but r/offbeat headline's on my front page do a lot to alleviate the general dryness of subscribing only to r/economics, r/rational, r/literature etc.

    r/rational

Jesus christ I absolutely cannot imagine what a terrible circlejerk that place is.

If there's one thing redditors like to believe themselves to be, it's rational. If there's one thing redditors are not, it's rational.

Safe bet you have no idea what the subject matter of r/rational is and I'd encourage you to -- in a rational manner -- not draw conclusions about something you know very little about.

Ahhhh rationalism. That could be more fun.

Why wouldn't they name it /r/rationalism instead??

I'm not sure. Probably taken. It's for literature mostly anyway.

Why is it not called /r/ational? What a missed opportunity.
