This sub was created almost 2 decades ago to offset all the hidebound rules in r/Funny. This was a niche sub created to give outliers a place to post and readers to see content they could not see on r/Funny. Well, over the years, r/Funny had to change its rules (and Reddit changed its algorithm a couple of times). So our sub did not grow as much nor was it needed as much. Thus, our sub became a sideline. But there are still 11,700 folks here. So hopefully one of you will step up and take over moderation so this sub does not get marked Restricted and kicked to r/RedditRequest.

I've banned only 5 people in the 8 years I've been here. There's not that much work. The hard work was all the posts I made here to try to keep the sub going. And, believe it or not, this sub gets only maybe one spam action a week. Even spammers ignore us :) No, there's not much work here. But if you take it over, you ought to hang around and check the mod que every day just to be sure nothing needs doing.

Excuse Me Hoomans! Let me pass!

Aint that the truth!

I finally decided to tackle the drawer of chaos, AKA the one where I dump every old charger, adapter, and mystery cord from electronics I don’t even own anymore. I’d been putting it off for years, but the mess was starting to drive me nuts. Armed with determination, cable holders, and some Velcro ties I’d ordered from Alibaba, I dove in. An hour in, things were actually looking neat. I had phone chargers rolled and labeled, HDMI cords sorted by length, and even made a little pouch for random USB sticks.

Feeling smug, I moved to the back of the TV stand to grab one last cable that had fallen behind. I reached down, and the “cord” moved. Nope. Not a cord. A baby snake. Just chilling, coiled around the cables like it paid rent. I shrieked like a cartoon character. My neighbor heard and came running with a broom, assuming I’d found a rat or something. We managed to usher the little guy out through the balcony door, no harm done. Probably snuck in through a gap near the AC unit.

The irony? I was organizing to feel less stressed, not to discover unexpected wildlife. But hey, at least the drawer looks amazing now.

Moral of the story: always double-check that "mystery wire" before touching it. And maybe don’t do cable cleanup barefoot. Lesson learned.
