The Weirdest Subreddits On Reddit

The number one location on the Internet for people who want to combine their love of birds, muscular arms, and Photoshop is r/bridswitharms. It allows users to test their creativity and artistic skills by making birds (and the idea of arms) look super silly.

With more than 100,000 people (!) participating since its inception in 2008, the subreddit simply asks its users to use image manipulation software to create funny pictures of birds with human arms added on their bodies.

The life of an evil mastermind is often a lonely and isolated existence. That doesn’t have to be the case, though, thanks to r/myevilplan. The subreddit allows people to discuss their evil schemes, whether they want to get revenge on someone or just simply play a prank on a friend. People even offer constructive feedback and advice.

With more than 15,000 members, there will certainly be plenty of help if you want to plan your own evil scheme.

Considering how diverse Reddit is, it's entirely possible that a group of people would create a subreddit specifically to tell the life story of a fictional man called Norman Tebbutt. Oh wait, that totally happened. The entire community, known as r/lifeofnorman, revolves around the 50,000 members telling small stories about the everyday life of the unremarkable Norman.

So far, Norman has lost his wife to a younger man, seen his son move away, and gotten himself a cat. Riveting. 

While Reddit has become known as a place for people to share outlandish and funny stories to the rest of the community, one subreddit aims to do the exact opposite. r/pointlessstories is the destination for anyone who wants to tell a story to the world but hasn’t done or seen anything interesting to talk about.

Instead, they simply post about their normal everyday lives that no one in their right mind should even bother reading – yet, plenty of people do. The Internet, ladies and gentlemen. 

It's difficult to explain r/fifthworldproblems with a tiny, four-dimensional consciousness. See, the subreddit is dedicated to the hypothetical problems experienced in a world that exists outside of normal reality.

The posts are surreal and sometimes incomprehensible, dealing with cosmic-scale events that mere humans couldn't possibly hope to understand. It's sort of like a super dark collective conceptual art project. Oh, it's also hilarious.  

Anyone with children (or who was recently a child themselves) will likely be familiar with the theme tune from Thomas the Tank Engine. For those who don't fall into either category, the song is apparently very versatile and can be modified or remixed with all types of different music.

Over at r/thomasthedankengine, users specialize in altering the theme song with hip-hop tracks to create brand new musical masterpieces.
