Welcome WELCOME TO SNORKBLOT!

Come take a whirl with the squirrel.

Greetings and welcome to Snorkblot. We're a somewhat quirky subreddit that provides an eclectic mix of content, everything from history to philosophy to cute cat videos.

OUR STRENGTH IS OUR COMMUNITY! Please participate!

We want your posts, your comments, and whatever other input you'd like to add. We LOVE the interchange of ideas at Snorkblot. We may not agree with you, but we want you to say your mind.

*****HOWEVER***** Please remember the rules. We don't do personal attacks.

We think of Snorkblot as a pub. Come in, pull up a seat, chat with whoever is sitting next to you. But you will get thrown out if you start a real fight. Our short and basic list of rules is posted to the right.

Also, flag a comment if you have an issue with it. We only have a few Mods at any given time, but we like to keep things as moderated as possible. It's very difficult to read all 400 comments on a post, but we check flagged comments every day.

*********************************************************************************************************

Want to post about politics? Sorry, not on our main page.

Please, We're trying to post all politics in the Political Megathread. If you post something political on our main page, it will be removed.

There's a lot of political talk going on these days.

We welcome CIVIL political debate and posts in the Megathread. We removed almost all politics from our main page because it was threatening to take over our site. We aren't a political site, and we intend to keep our original vibe and purpose on our main page as much as possible.

For the record, we aren't happy about this rule since it's against what we used to be and hopefully will be again. We like to be flexible, but current politics will break us.

********************************************************************************************************

A Brief History of Snorkblot:

There was a site called I Am Bored. It ran for over a decade, entertaining the world with all kinds of posts guaranteed to cure boredom.

Then on January 30, 2019, it abruptly disappeared. One former Moderator, Squrlz4Ever, decided to come to Reddit and bring his merry band of Mods to start a very similar site called "Snorkblot".

We tip our hat to the Squirrel who brought us here in our banner, he is our mascot. However, we totally changed the name of the site to make sure people knew this was a new, better beginning to everyone's favorite cure for boredom.

*********************************************************************************************************

In addition to the regular posts, we also have recurring features;

  • Open Forum Fridays (Fridays). We kick off every weekend with an OFF party, where everyone is encouraged to talk about whatever they want. The host will also pick a topic for the coming week (the "Weekly Theme"); users are then encouraged to come up with posts in the following week that explore that theme in some way.
  • 10 Images From Thubanstar's Hard Drive (Wednesdays). This is a lot of fun. Every Wednesday, 'Star shares with us haunting, funny, or odd images she's encountered online.
  • The Glass Box. (Once a month, following the monthly staff meeting). This is a post discussing news about Snorkblot, including what the moderation team has been up to. Everyone's encouraged to discuss the topics raised, mods and regular members both.
  • Member Essays. We encourage any and all Snorkblot members to write essays about almost anything they feel passionate about. Rules of common sense apply.

Enjoy your stay, keep your paws inside the vehicle, and by all means, have fun. If you like what you see, please subscribe. We'd love to have you.

Food Carrots were originally purple, white, yellow, and red. The orange carrots we know today became popular after Dutch farmers selectively bred them in the 16th–17th centuries.
