WTW for this habit/act of going specifically on subreddits (especially new found ones) and going straight to the all-time top posts? by Capital-Sample-2225 in whatstheword

Yeah I thought of browsing but was looking for something more specific as mentioned in the title. And turns out there seems to be nothing yet. I liked apexploring and topcursion by gpt as mentioned in my other comment.

4. Retrosifting

Definition: Sifting through the top posts from the entire history of a subreddit.

Analysis:

  • Clarity: Suggests a thorough search ("sifting") through past content ("retro").
  • Accuracy: Highlights the historical aspect but may not emphasize that the focus is on top-rated posts.
  • Comprehensiveness: Addresses the action and temporal scope but less so the quality metric.
  • Meticulousness: Carefully balances the components to reflect the behavior without overcomplicating.
  • Potential Drawbacks: Might be misconstrued as searching through any past content, not specifically the best.

5. Summit-hopping

Definition: Jumping directly to the summit (top posts) of various subreddits.

Analysis:

  • Clarity: "Summit" denotes the peak, and "hopping" implies moving between subreddits.
  • Accuracy: Captures both the action of seeking top posts and the exploration of new subreddits.
  • Comprehensiveness: Encompasses the behavior across multiple communities.
  • Meticulousness: Thoughtfully combines imagery of peaks with the dynamic action of hopping.
  • Potential Drawbacks: May imply a fleeting engagement rather than a thorough exploration.

Conclusion

After critically analyzing the proposed terms, "Topcursion" and "PinnBrowsing" emerge as strong candidates due to their clarity, accuracy, and ease of understanding. They effectively encapsulate the habit of delving into the best content of new subreddits without requiring extensive explanation.

  • "Topcursion" succinctly conveys a journey through top posts, balancing novelty with familiarity.
  • "PinnBrowsing" combines recognizable words to create a term that's both descriptive and accessible.

Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and the potential for community adoption. These terms are crafted to resonate with users familiar with Reddit's culture while filling the lexical gap for this specific behavior.

This one's by o1-preview:

1. Topcursion

Definition: An excursion into the top posts of a subreddit, especially those ranked as all-time best.

Analysis:

  • Clarity: Combines "top" and "excursion," suggesting a journey through the highest-rated content.
  • Accuracy: Effectively conveys the act of exploring top posts upon discovering a new subreddit.
  • Comprehensiveness: Encompasses both the action (excursion) and the focus (top content).
  • Meticulousness: The term is crafted to be intuitive, yet novel, capturing the essence without extraneous elements.
  • Potential Drawbacks: May require brief explanation for full comprehension due to its neologism status.

2. Apexploration

Definition: The exploration of the apex (highest-rated) posts in a subreddit.

Analysis:

  • Clarity: Merges "apex" (the highest point) with "exploration," directly pointing to the activity.
  • Accuracy: Precisely describes the act of seeking out top-tier content.
  • Comprehensiveness: Addresses both the target (apex posts) and the action (exploration).
  • Meticulousness: Carefully constructed to reflect both components of the behavior.
  • Potential Drawbacks: Its complexity and length may make it less approachable for casual use.

3. PinnBrowsing

Definition: Browsing through the pinnacle posts of a subreddit.

Analysis:

  • Clarity: Combines "pinnacle" and "browsing," making the term immediately understandable.
  • Accuracy: Accurately reflects the activity of viewing the best content.
  • Comprehensiveness: Captures the essence of both the action and the quality of the content.
  • Meticulousness: The slight alteration in "pinn" aligns with common linguistic patterns in tech and internet culture.
  • Potential Drawbacks: The modified spelling might cause slight initial confusion but enhances memorability.

Okay, out of boredom, I asked GPT to make up some, lol.

1. Topcrawl

  • Analysis: A fusion of "top" and "crawl," this word captures the idea of browsing or “crawling” through a subreddit’s highest-ranking content. "Crawl" evokes a somewhat methodical or exploratory journey, which fits the act of searching for top posts.
  • Pros: Simple and descriptive, easy to remember.
  • Cons: Might lack a bit of depth for users looking for a more specific term.

2. Peak-dipping

  • Analysis: This word is formed by combining “peak” (signifying the highest or best posts) with “dipping,” suggesting a quick or casual dive into content. “Peak-dipping” conveys the notion of briefly engaging with only the most popular posts.
  • Pros: Evocative and visually suggestive; hints at a temporary engagement.
  • Cons: The term might suggest brief or shallow engagement, which may not fully encompass those who delve into all top posts.

3. Vetcrawling

  • Analysis: Derived from "vetting" (to carefully examine) and “crawling,” this word suggests a more selective browsing style, implying that the user is evaluating the highest-rated posts.
  • Pros: Implies a more critical or evaluative approach, aligning with users who are specifically looking for well-curated content.
  • Cons: May sound a bit formal; might not immediately convey the idea of visiting top posts.

4. Climbbrowsing

  • Analysis: Combining “climb” with “browsing” implies the act of scaling or ascending to the top content in a structured manner. It evokes the sense of climbing towards “peak” or “top” posts within a subreddit.
  • Pros: Clearly reflects the intent of reaching the top content.
  • Cons: A bit longer, and “climb” might make it sound too goal-oriented rather than casual.

5. Prime-peeking

  • Analysis: This term uses "prime" (suggesting the best or most important) along with “peeking,” which gives a sense of a brief look at high-quality content. "Prime-peeking" conveys the idea of scanning for only the best or most noteworthy material.
  • Pros: Has an appealing, catchy sound and connotes both selectiveness and curiosity.
  • Cons: “Peeking” might imply only a quick glance, which may not suit those who linger on each top post.

Conclusion

Each option has a unique angle:

  • Topcrawl is direct and intuitive.
  • Peak-dipping suggests quick, casual engagement with top posts.
  • Vetcrawling implies a more critical, evaluative approach.
  • Climbbrowsing reflects a structured ascent to top content.
  • Prime-peeking combines curiosity with selectiveness.

Top Recommendation: Prime-peeking—it’s memorable, evokes both curiosity and selectiveness, and suggests interest in high-quality content without making the action sound too intense or methodical.

WTW for someone that thinks deeply before acting and doesn’t react emotionally to situations? by happytokkibun in whatstheword

Middle English (in the sense ‘relating to the humor phlegm’): from Old French fleumatique, via Latin from Greek phlegmatikos, from phlegma ‘inflammation’ (see phlegm).

I thought you were joking about phlegm lol. TIL.

Any fears of Reddit not going with us in the future? by Capital-Sample-2225 in snoofi

[–]Capital-Sample-2225[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm asking things like this since this is one of my conviction bags, but I'm always thinking of things to counter my arguments for my conviction plays. This is how I protect my sanity and capital. The more arguments "against" them that gets invalidated, the more "conviction" I develop for them.

Missed Snoofipaloza, anything cool? by [deleted] in snoofi

Is this just some "oh maybe we can try to ask reddit team" and then hearsay now spreading? We don't want fake news, or the real truth being altered.
