A scientific term. Reddit's Law states three key concepts:
1) A meme can never die, it will always come back into the spotlight either to continue its evolution or else to be used in a crossover meme. Both scenarios often result in the meme being significantly less funny than it originally was, and are rarely successful. Dead memes being brought back usually means this time it dies 10x faster than the first time.
2) For every post, there is an equal and opposite repost. Because a lot of new meme content can start out on Reddit, a new meme being created successfully would mean a surge of this meme across the internet. This surge is known as the Platform Cycle over the whole internet, but also occurs independently across Reddit. As the meme spreads, it will die out in most places except Reddit as stated in the above concept.
3) You must stay on your own subreddit. Posting a Weed Meme on a subreddit for Gun Safety would result in the user responsible being crucified, as the Weed Meme was not posted to r/weed or r/dankmemes.
(posts a doge meme to a car subreddit)
Car Subreddit Members: You are now dead
Meme Subreddit Users: I will take this and post it to it's appropriate place (all 50 people say simultaneously)
(there is now a surge of Doge memes across Reddit)
Intelligent person: This one idiot in a car subreddit accidentally enabled Reddit's Law on Doge, now Doge will just get less and less funny smh.

Once there was a girl, she was the most beautiful in her small town. She decided to move onto Reddit to read funny posts. Once she saw a post by someone called 'The killer of reddit', she thought that the name was strange but she didn't care but what she read disturbed her the most, it was of a photo of 1 of the abandoned buildings in her town with a dead body of 1 of her classmates that disappeared a few months ago. Her classmates mouth was ripped open and his eyes were bitten out, suddenly someone messaged her, it was the account of the murderer, she started trembling and decided to not read the message. A few hours later, before she went to bed she decided to finally read it, it said " I'm in your house, come down the stairs", she trembled and heard a sound, it was a creek. She saw a smirk at her door....... A few years later she is still in her bed but now forever smiling.

When something happens that sounds similar to something that could happen on Reddit
That was an epic Reddit Moment

Reddit neck is when you stick out your nerdy neck for too long because you’re stuck in a reddit hole.
“Hey, get off the reddit or you’re gonna develop the reddit neck and need a chiropractor.”

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.

A man that commonly flirts with women on the site Reddit that acts under the gise of being a man who respects women. Little do you know, the Reddit nice guy plots to ruin your day regardless if you accept or deny his approaches. Reddit nice guys are the kind of people to think their IQ is higher than everyone else's, and uses this to justify being a total douche. Never ever ever ever meet a Reddit nice guy irl unless your filming how to catch a predator.
Reddit nice guys hide in plain site, waiting for those unaware of the warning signs. A man is a Reddit nice guy if:
1. He wears a fadora
2. He mentions that he is not a Reddit nice guy
3. He says vague comments like "just be chill" or "I'm actually quite funny people just do not understand my dry wit"
4. Explains what he is doing it italics
Met this guy online a few weeks ago, thought he was cool until I found out he is a total Reddit nice guy.
A well-known subreddit where all the images have the "spoiler" tag by default. Above each post is a description of two things that you may see if you click the image. (The website chooses which one it will be at random.)One of them is typically quite pleasant, while the other is...not so pleasant.
For example, you may see a 50/50 where one of the possible posts is a bunch of kittens sleeping in a box, while the other option is a man waking up from anesthesia while undergoing open-heart surgery. (This is just an example. But the bad outcome is not an exaggeration; some of them are actually very graphic and utterly terrifying.)
...You get the idea. This subreddit can either make your day, or it can scar you for life.
Reddit 50/50 is a very popular challenge with Youtubers. But please, enter it at your own risk. You may want to puke if you get the bad outcome one too many times.
