    I’ll go first – r/ProductivityStack. Just made it because I kept bouncing between AI tools and wanted a space to chat about what actually works for calendars, task management, daily planning, habit tracking, and note-taking. Wanted something more grounded than all the hype.

    edit: first member has officially joined thank you so much!! if you’re into AI productivity stuff (or want to pretend you are), come keep me company so it’s not just me yelling into the void.

    For some reason r/Medals pops up on my feed and I’m always interested to see what people earned or what each one actual means.

    r/extrasbeingextra One of my coworkers has a son who has been getting some jobs as an extra in shows being filmed in Atlanta. And she showed him this Reddit thread and he confirmed the extra nature of many extras.

    r/Frasier_Sleepers I got into the show ‘Frasier’ in college when Netflix had it back in 2012. It was an easy show to watch after classes or put on in background as I dozed off. Classic easy to follow sitcom. Theme song wasn’t jarring enough to wake me up to.

    Dialogue was good enough to do a chuckle at while my eyes stayed closed, and I could fall asleep. Didn’t realize that there was literally dozens of us!

    r/owlsintowels . Exactly what it sounds like. 

    In addition to the cuteness of owls wrapped up in towels, one learns about some heroic animal rescue and rehabilitation going on, and it gives you a chance to support organizations doing that work.

    r/okbuddyrosalyn.

    Great fan-edited Calvin and Hobbes comic parodies and new stories.  Bill Waterson probably doesn’t approve, but oh well.

    It’s peak!

    r/whatismycookiecutter has a lot of subscribers, but I think it’s pretty niche. The suggestions people make often have me laughing out loud.
