I did a local reddit meetup like a decade ago.

Don't.

It wasn't bad. It was just weird. Just a bunch of random dudes at a bar.

Here's the classic:

There's loads of photos if you search images for "reddit meetup". A sea of autistic, social outcasts with BO. It's kinda sweet 🥲

I mean, they look like they're having fun. Idk what about this image reads as them being social outcasts, or autistic, or having BO. Is it because a bunch of them are heavy set? Is that the only reason?

The only really odd thing to me is the fact that it's in front of a storage unit. Otherwise, it just looks like a random party.

Lots of tiddies, I like that 🤤.

Peak internet meetup for me was /b/, shockingly. A Scientology protest. Went with my partner-at-the-time, wearing V masks. Met a lot of genuinely fun, regular people.

There were like 50+ people who showed up. It was wild!

I went to one in 2012 because I just moved and didn’t know anyone. yea i didn’t go to a second
