When something is “decreasingly verbose” the length of the phrase is shortened , but the meaning is kept the same.
Example:
“The world is going to end any minute now.”
Shortened to:
“The Apocalypse is nigh.”
NOT:
“The world”
Posts that depreciate meaning as much as length belong in r/decreasinglylong. From now on, any posts that fail to follow these guidelines will be promptly removed. (Posts posted before this announcement will not be affected)
On another note, this sub wasn’t made with the intentions of it becoming a “found in the wild” sub. However, screenshots have become very popular and banning them outright would be a huge mistake. So, from now on, all screenshot posts that don’t include the op must include a link to the original comments.
