I’ll share mine first.
I had a psych patient one night pile shitty toilet paper next to his toilet overnight. Normally my psych nurse brain would consider this a symptom of disorganized psychosis, EXCEPT!
I remembered an aita post about a conflict between a western OP and his middle eastern roomate trying to figure out why their roommate put their shitty toilet paper in the trash. Turns out many middle eastern toilets can’t handle toilet paper.
Oh and inpatient psychiatry doesn’t provide freestanding hard plastic trashcans (turns out they make great clubs). We gave him one of our freestanding paper bag trashcans and problem solved.
TL;DR; Reddit expanded my cultural knowledge enough to differentiate disorganized psychotic behaviors from a genuine cultural difference. Thanks reddit!
Anyone have any similar examples of positive exchanges of knowledge or culture using reddit?
Well let’s see (warning: I left out wholesome things I’ve learned for these…infamous moments)
If you break both your arms, your mom can jack you off
If you cum in a shoebox or a coconut, and leave it long enough, bugs will infest it
If you think trying heroin is easy to do once, you are wrong
One of reddit’s power users and 7th(?) oldest account ever probably belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell (maxwellhill)
People get really defensive when you ask why they watch so much Liveleak

I’m pretty sure that one isn’t true. The user made a statement after she was arrested.
Thanks for the chuckle, I totally did not look like an idiot in the Dentist’s waiting room 😅
Dentist waiting room is the best place to doomscroll, ngl
I… but… what??
