Yeah you read the title right, i created an unofficial clone of the r/AbsoluteUnits subreddit, in an attempt to make it the home for it in the threadiverse.

The premise is simple: an absolute unit is something, either an animal, person or object, that is really large, way more large than someone would expect. Things like massive dogs, buildings, statues, and the like. Basically, anything that can be bigger than it usually is, is an absolute unit. In the rules there’s a link to a more detailed explanation.

So yeah! it’s pretty simple. If you have a picture or a video of something larger than normal, you can share it there!

Hope you like it!!

    Eh, there were some nice things on Reddit. We don’t have to be a clone but we don’t have to resist everything that looks like them. I’m explicitly here because I wanted a forum-like social media that wasn’t Reddit; I wanted a Reddit replacement. I would like to leave certain artifacts of Reddit behind, but I do like actual Reddiquette (that admittedly did not get followed in practice, it does not here either) of upvoting good contributions to a conversation (including opposing opinions) and reserving downvotes for people who come in with hostility, spam/off-topic posts, etc. I liked communities there where I could talk about things I was interested in.
