I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

What about r/catstandingup? Videos or Pics of cats standing.

The comments and replies to comments are always: Cat.

WafflePwn's brother (the kid who tried shoving a remote up his ass because of Warcraft account cancellation) actually documented a true and genuine freakout. The parents forced the older brother to produce subsequent videos as a means of making it look like they were just making candid freakout videos all along, in order to protect the younger bother's shattered public image (and probably social life).

the stargate movie/show is "plausible deniability" soft disclosure of the real thing. they "hang a lantern" on this fact with the wormhole xtreme gag in the show.

There really is a base under Cheyanne mountain and the US gov does indeed have a program that was named Stargate too :)

Soda bottle caps for newer types of soda fit worse onto the bottles. They’re harder to re-thread on, for example, the new Oreo Coke than they are on the old Diet Coke.

The reason that newer bottle designs are harder to thread is that they’re trying to make people drop the cap, leading to just giving up on re-capping.

This is to reinforce the narrative that people lose their bottle caps.

Which is to lend support for the drive to make caps attached to a little ring on the bottle, like in Europe.

Or maybe it's to keep you from sealing your drink and having it later. No cap means you finish it or dump it so you have to buy another.
