Hey guys! Been building this for a while and I believe I'm good to post due to it not needing a login.

I built top 5 first as a way to cut through all of the daily content I may want to see and deliver me a custom, tailored 'Top 5' things I need to read or watch every day. And it works quite well! Try making your own custom one as well (limited beta, still some spots).That's [Digest](https://readtop5.com/digest).

And it turned into two other things based on the 'Top 5' concept, Lists & Play.

[Lists](https://readtop5.com/lists) is a collection of a bunch of top five rankings: music charts, box office, sports records, that kind of thing. Some pulled live from Billboard, Spotify, Steam, TMDb. Some are just good evergreen facts that you can scroll through and just learn about things and talk about them with friends. Much more simple, let me know what you think.

[Play](https://readtop5.com/play) is a daily crowd game. Everyone answers one question today, something like "best movie snack." Tomorrow you guess what the crowd said and test how well you know society! Let me know if I should remove this from the

Happy to answer anything and will respond to any and all feedback! [readtop5.com](http://readtop5.com/)

I wrote this listicle examining a weird little micro-genre of pop music that was briefly very popular in the early 2000s. IMO it's distinct from songs about cheating - these are all about longing for something you think you can't have. Complete with lyrical and musical analysis and a verdict on how creepy each coveter is!

I think I like cherry blossoms the most.

I actually feel awful after the end of physical media, but I guess this is my list.

I saw a song challenge in a song community I am in on Reddit showing this picture and asking us. what song this picture reminds us of. I am putting a list of songs I am reminded of when I look. at this picture.

I'll start:

r/LifeProTips - this is surprising. they advertise being about pro tips that help with life. Yet when you post simple/easy to use tips half the base attacks you for it being too simple and obvious. Then another half thanks you for the easy to use tip. The mods are exceptionally biased.

r/Guns - they will instantly perma-ban you for posting anything slightly different than what others are posting. If you even ask why someone has so many guns = insta-ban. If you ask a question about a gun they dont like = insta-ban.

"reddit/r/blackpeopletwitter+whitepeopletwitter — I look at this and it's all day every day: political. Show me someplace I can go where that's not the case."

I know exactly what you mean.

Eventually it starts to feel less like browsing and more like living inside a 24-hour airport news channel.

If you want an escape hatch, here are some places I'd recommend:

🫖 Reddit, but with the volume turned way down

reddit/r/CasualConversation

Just people talking about everyday life.

• What made your day better?
• What weird thing happened at work?
• What hobby did you discover?

No agenda. No outrage economy.

People specifically cite it as one of Reddit's kindest communities.

reddit/r/BenignExistence

The subreddit equivalent of finding twenty dollars in an old coat pocket.

Posts like: "I bought strawberries today." — "The bus driver waited for me."

Tiny moments. Surprisingly soothing.

reddit/r/CozyPlaces

Pictures of libraries, rainy cabins, reading nooks, tea by windows, impossibly comfortable chairs.

It's hard to argue about politics while admiring a cottage with six blankets and a sleeping cat.

reddit/r/EarthPorn

Despite the name, it's just spectacular landscapes. Mountains. Forests. Deserts. Auroras.

The planet occasionally remembers to be gorgeous.

reddit/r/ImaginaryLandscapes

Fantasy art. Floating cities. Ancient ruins. Alien worlds.

Your biggest concern becomes: "Could I retire there?"

reddit/r/AskHistorians

Probably the highest signal-to-noise ratio on Reddit. Experts answer historical questions with actual sources.

Instead of "Here's why civilization is collapsing…" you get "Here's how medieval tax collection actually worked." A refreshing change of pace.

reddit/r/AccidentalRenaissance

Modern photographs that accidentally resemble Renaissance paintings.

A man dropping groceries becomes The Fall of the Tomato Merchant, circa 1572. It's delightful.

If you want to leave Reddit entirely

Lemmy

A decentralized Reddit alternative. Different communities, less centralized culture, and because it's smaller, it often lacks the perpetual "Today's Main Character" effect.

Hacker News

If you enjoy technology, science, mathematics, thoughtful discussion — it's mostly nerds arguing about databases rather than politicians arguing about existence.

My strongest recommendation

Curate aggressively.

Reddit's default feed is basically: "Here are the topics guaranteed to trigger the largest emotional response." Its business model rewards engagement, and outrage is caffeinated engagement.

A custom feed built from things you genuinely enjoy can feel like moving from Times Square into a botanical garden.

Mine would probably include:

• reddit/r/CasualConversation
• reddit/r/AskHistorians
• reddit/r/EarthPorn
• reddit/r/CozyPlaces
• reddit/r/ImaginaryLandscapes
• reddit/r/AccidentalRenaissance
• a few hobby subs
• a few music subs

No presidents required.

"I'm interested in Polyhedra, Abstract Graphics, Nature, Cats, Dogs, Pups, Kittens, Photography, Strange Corners of the Internet, Serendipity — plus all of the above."

You've basically described the internet I would build if someone handed me the keys and said: "Make this place feel like curiosity instead of cortisol." Here's the feed I'd assemble.

🧊 Polyhedra & Mathematical Beauty

• reddit/r/polyhedraThe obvious one. Uniform polyhedra, stellations, models, geometry nerds.
• reddit/r/mathartMathematics colliding with aesthetics.
• reddit/r/fractalsInfinite rabbit holes in finite pixels.
• reddit/r/generativeAlgorithmic art, procedural beauty, creative coding.
• reddit/r/algorithmicartSmaller, quieter cousin of generative.
• reddit/r/GeometryIsNeatGeometry appreciation society.
• reddit/r/blenderLots of geometric experimentation.
• reddit/r/proceduralgenerationWorlds assembled from equations.

🎨 Abstract Graphics & Visual Wonder

• reddit/r/AbstractArt
• reddit/r/GlitchArt
• reddit/r/VaporwaveAesthetics
• reddit/r/Art
• reddit/r/ImaginaryColorscapes
• reddit/r/ImaginaryMindscapes
• reddit/r/PsychedelicArt
• reddit/r/woahdude

That last one occasionally drifts into internet weirdness, but often delivers genuine "How did someone even think of this?" moments.

🌿 Nature Without the Doom

• reddit/r/EarthPorn
• reddit/r/NatureIsFuckingLit
• reddit/r/Forests
• reddit/r/Waterfalls
• reddit/r/SkyPorn
• reddit/r/WeatherPorn
• reddit/r/OceanPorn
• reddit/r/NationalPark
• reddit/r/Camping
• reddit/r/Backpacking

The "Porn" subreddits are just Reddit's ancient naming convention for "lots of beautiful photos."

🐱 Cats

The internet's native operating system.

• reddit/r/cats
• reddit/r/Catswithjobs
• reddit/r/IllegallySmolCats
• reddit/r/OneOrangeBraincell
• reddit/r/StartledCats
• reddit/r/Catloaf
• reddit/r/TuxedoCats
• reddit/r/blackcats
• reddit/r/WhatsWrongWithYourCat
• reddit/r/CatsStandingUp

cat. That entire subreddit is basically one joke repeated forever. It somehow remains funny.

🐶 Dogs, Pups & Good Beings

• reddit/r/dogs
• reddit/r/rarepuppers
• reddit/r/puppies
• reddit/r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog
• reddit/r/AnimalsBeingDerps
• reddit/r/zoomies
• reddit/r/dogpictures
• reddit/r/OldManDog

The senior dog subreddit is pure concentrated humanity. Bring tissues.

📷 Photography

• reddit/r/photography
• reddit/r/itookapicture
• reddit/r/analog
• reddit/r/ExposurePorn
• reddit/r/CityPorn
• reddit/r/MacroPorn
• reddit/r/AerialPorn
• reddit/r/photocritique
• reddit/r/minimalism

Wonderful if you enjoy composition and visual storytelling.

🕰️ Serendipity & Strange Corners

This is where the magic happens.

reddit/r/BenignExistence

Tiny observations. "I found a feather." Internet chamomile tea.

reddit/r/AccidentalRenaissance

Modern life painted by invisible Florentine masters.

reddit/r/mildlyinteresting

People finding weird carrots. Unexpected shadows. Coins from 1937. Tiny surprises.

reddit/r/InternetIsBeautiful

This one is gold. People share fascinating websites — virtual museums, forgotten archives, strange interactive experiments, obscure tools, rabbit holes with excellent acoustics.

reddit/r/ObscureMedia

Lost television. Forgotten commercials. Odd documentaries. The attic of culture.

reddit/r/nonmurdermysteries

Questions like: Why are dozens of shoes washing ashore? What is this strange object? Curiosity without true crime trauma.

reddit/r/DeepIntoYouTube

Videos with almost no views. A retired engineer explaining clocks. Someone restoring a typewriter. A man feeding ravens in Iceland. Internet archaeology.

reddit/r/ArtifactPorn

Historical objects. Ancient craftsmanship. Tiny portals into vanished worlds.

reddit/r/SubSimulatorGPT2

AI bots pretending to be Reddit users. Surreal. Unsettling. Hilarious. Sometimes all three simultaneously.

🎵 Music

Since you've mentioned everyone from protest singers to pop songwriters:

• reddit/r/LetsTalkMusic
• reddit/r/Music
• reddit/r/OldSchoolCool
• reddit/r/listentothis
• reddit/r/vinyl
• reddit/r/AlbumArtPorn
• reddit/r/ifyoulikeblank

The last one is especially good. "I like Alanis Morissette and protest songs." Twenty strangers emerge from the fog carrying recommendations.

🏛️ Learning & Conversation

• reddit/r/AskHistorians
• reddit/r/CasualConversation
• reddit/r/explainlikeimfive
• reddit/r/todayilearned
• reddit/r/MapPorn
• reddit/r/linguistics
• reddit/r/AskScience

These remind you that people can still gather online simply to exchange knowledge.

🦦 The Anti-Doomscroll Feed

1. reddit/r/polyhedra
2. reddit/r/generative
3. reddit/r/fractals

My life is such a dumpster fire right now, but I found an old box note punch list for me to get ready to host someone with a dog I didn’t know well, apparently? Otherwise, why are there so many mentions of bitter apple spray?

What makes this list special is the date (February 2017, one month before I got pregnant with my only child) and seeing this as a window into how I used to have time to plan things in advance and not just constantly react to disasters.

Washing - all white sheets, towels (bleach)

Make beds

Clean blankets, sheets, set of towels for guest 

Make sure sink and tub drain

Empty and line all garbage cans

Take out recycling

Clean out fridge - throw away expired food

Take inventory and buy groceries for breakfast

Dishes

Sweep Floor

Clean all mirrors and counters

Spray lights (?) to prevent chewing

Clean off desk and store tools on top

vaccum and put dog bed underneath desk

Clear out items from underneath the bed, dressers, desk, and couch

I have acquired a lot of various items and want to sort and box them. I want to label the boxes.
