One time I went to a local Reddit meet up. Yep, it was all that cringy
Reminds me of the reddit meetup in 2014?
It was at a tech office on a Saturday.
I got a free beer. But I literally smelled the atmosphere, and realized it was gonna be a Magic the gathering/nerd expo but filled with angry drunken weirdos and I left.
The next day, the organizers sent a mass email asking for people to chip in. Someone broke the pool table. Someone ripped pages out of a manual. Someone stole name plaques from a managers office.
They complained about having to clean up vomit and we can "do better redditors!"
I think about that a lot.
We did it reddit
The narwhal bacons at midnight.
a local reddit meet up? i have never heard of something like that. do reddit users go outside?!?!?
edit: "users" is plural. i, for some reason, used does instead of do.
God it was so awkward, it must have been like 2011 because I was freshly 21. And it was at this local bar. And everybody greeted eachother by " the narwhal bacon's at midnight" and it was just fucking weird. For a while our local subreddit was running a monthly one and then it just kind of stopped.
To be fair I'm sure everyone was pretty cringeworthy at that age with or without reddit. Myself included
Is this "the narwhal" thing worth looking up?
Probably not. Old piece of Reddit history. Gist of it is there was a discussion on how to identify a redditor in real life, and the favorite response was saying that "the narwhal bacons at midnight".
Good summary really.
Also an example of why being a Redditor wasn't something you admitted to for a long time.
Please, elaborate, I have only read about these meet ups, but never actually got to know, how they were...
I went to one 10 years ago and it was fine just a bunch of normal dudes and a few women drinking beers talking about random stuff, for what it's worth. I wouldn't dare go to one in 2024 I could only imagine what I'd see.
