Reddit hive-mind

Reddit is a popular social commentary website that houses the largest hive mind (collective conscience) on the internet.

The said hive-mind often loves to find the tiniest bits of "hidden meanings" in people's opinions and use it against them, regardless whether those implications were intentional or not. It is essentially an act of guessing what the opinion giver failed to admit (as if they had any) and calling them out on it.

Most of the time, the hive-mind's guessing game turns out to be plain wrong and the opinion giver is left in a state of astonishment and resentment, as they obviously didn't mean to imply whatever the hive-mind claims they were implying.

This often results in the OP (original poster) to give a grudged reply to the Redditor, clarifying that this is not what they meant to say. If such a reply is disdainful enough, it will warrant more Redditors to come in and defend the hive-mind with more ridiculous accusations (e.g. "you're just trying to cover up that...", "you're failing to see...", etc.). And the hive-mind will do this until the OP gives up from all the downvotes.

While such an interrogative 'tactic' is useful in places such as academic critiquing and obviously police interrogation, on a social commentary website, it is practically useless and quite frankly infuriating. It is doing nothing but gaslighting the opinion giver.

Example of the Reddit hive-mind in action #1:

OP: Can weed make you as intoxicated as alcohol?
Redditor 1: No, and why do you ask? Please don't tell me you're going to use weed as a date rape drug...
OP: Ummm... what? No, why would you even assume that that was my intention?
Redditor 2: Because the way you phrased it seemed like you were asking to use it on somebody.
OP: *feeling astonished* I-I literally was never even aware of the way I phrased it.....
Redditor 3: Well now you're aware.
OP: .....I'm sorry? What did I even do wrong?? I was literally just curious, jeez people.

Example of the Reddit hive-mind in action #2:

OP: I think that every topic can be joked about, within reason.
Redditor 1: Soooo basically you don't think every topic can be joked about....
OP: What.... well I mean yeah I guess if you put it that way, but that wasn't really my point. Obviously some jokes can't be taken to the extreme.
Redditor 2: But that means you're implying that people can't freely express what they might think is funny. You have no right to control someone else's thoughts or humor.
OP: You know what? Just shut the fuck up. I'm sick and tired of the Reddit hive-mind.

Turmeric

An aromatic spice that belongs to the ginger family. Often most recognized as that "Indian food" smell, as it is one of the main spices in Indian curries.

Also a very potent aphrodisiac that has been said to be 3x as more effective than Viagra.

When Brad couldn't get it on with his girlfriend, he remembered that he had leftover Indian takeout in his fridge, so he took the bowl of curry and smothered it all over his stomach until he could feel the blood rushing into his dick veins.

Turmeric.

TOS

TOS is short for Terms Of Service. Often used in conjunction with twitch, where someone or something violates the terms of service on twitch.

In-game dialogue: *says the n-word*
Streamer: TOS?!?!?!?!!?
Chat: TOS!!!!! POGCRAZY

(as you can see this means something violates with the terms of service)

Involuntary Abstinence

When someone (typically a college student) has a fanciful desire to consume alcohol with some fellow mates and get crazy intoxicated, but doesn't have anyone to do so with (due to no close friends or social groups). They are most likely still an alcohol virgin because of this.

High school friend: Hey bud haven't seen you in a long time! How ya been?

Me: Pretty good, university life has been pretty awesome and wild here. Exams are coming soon though so it's getting pretty stressful

High school friend: That's nice! Nothing like a few shots of tequila to help alleviate all that stress

Me: Oh I don't drink alcohol

High school friend: Oh why not? Are you practicing abstinence?!

Me: Bruh of course not, it's just that I have involuntary abstinence...

High school friend: Ah, I understand.

Hands Free Orgasm

The definition is relatively straightforward. It means to orgasm without using your hands (or somebody else's). Not that hard to do honestly.

John got a hands free orgasm (HFO) from that lady across the street, or more specifically, he got head and busted his load.

Sarah gave his man a hands free orgasm by using her feet.

Really, there are endless ways of orgasming without the utilization of the metacarpus. Humping is one of 'em.

Martial Law

Something that will most likely never happen in the US, as it would be considered highly unconstitutional.

COVID-19 happened, and Martial Law was never declared.

The massive Floyd protests also happened and Martial Law was never (officially) declared.

Martial Law would probably only be used as a last resort, as there are many better alternatives in this day and age.

Semi-woke Individual: If Martial Law were to happen, America would be akin to North Korea, and all the working class citizens of America would have to take a stand.
