12 Bizarre Subreddits You Shouldn’t Live Without

Reddit is a weird place. Beyond the memes and inside jokes on the front page, there are thousands of niche communities where folks get nitty and gritty about the darndest things.

We've plucked 13 subreddits where you'll find vibrant discussions about horse masks, infomercial actors and birds with arms.

1. r/YouTubeHaiku

Sometimes you find poetry in the most unlikely places. This subreddit is dedicated to short YouTube clips (less than 14 seconds) that have a certain transcendental beauty.

2. r/DogTalk

Dogs

Posts entitled "GrrrrrRUFF!" and "BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK" are met with equally insightful comments like "BARK BARK BARK! BARK GRRRR BARK BARK BARK BARK?"

Wat.

3. r/ggggg

G

Do you love the letter G? I mean, really love the letter G? Share your pics of G's in the wild with like-minded enthusiasts.

4. r/TheStopGirl

The Stop Girl

Few subreddits actually encourage reposts. But this community is all about the same GIF of one lovely lady.

Now known as "The Stop Girl," she was caught on camera at a college football game, coyly telling the cameraman to "stop!" Since then, the Internet hasn't been able to live without her.

5. r/BirdsWithArms

Birds With Arms

Not sure why birds with Photoshopped human arms are so disturbing. But they are.

6. r/AnimalsWithoutNecks

Animals Without Necks

In a similar vein, things get weird when animals hide their necks -- naturally, or via digital means.

7. r/HorseMask

8. r/WhereDidTheSodaGo

Where Did The Soda Go

Ever notice how people in infomercials are total idiots? This sub is dedicated to GIFs and videos of dumb products and the non-problems they aim to solve.

9. r/HistoricalCatLovers

John Lennon Cat

People have been obsessed with cats long before the Internet. Even celebrities!

10. r/OregonTrailProblems

Oregon Trail Problems

You don't know hardship until you've died of dysentery -- twice.

11. r/Pyongyang

Kim Jong Un

Need to catch up on the latest news from North Korea?

Neither do we. But this subreddit is a brilliant work of community satire. Newswire articles are shared, and comrades comment on them in praise of the "Dear Leader."

Dissent is swiftly censored or deleted.

12. r/NotInteresting

Not Interesting

If you thought some of your friends' Twitter statuses were banal, this sub is full of folks one-upping each other with boring stuff. Hilarity ensues.
