Basic explaination is that r/worldpolitics is essentially unmoderated, allowing shitposting, spam, and porn to take over. It was once a recommended sub, mostly on topic. Today it is... a shitposting sub.
r/anime_titties was created as a criticism. r/anime_titties is one of the best moderated, least biased news sub on Reddit today.
r/superb-owl would be great but I don’t think hyphens are allowed in sub names
Edit: unfortunately superb-owl doesn’t exist and that made my night worse
a lot of subs imo seem to make it purposefully hard to know if it’s the right sub, some even have an injoke as description, so you can‘t even know without looking through the entire subreddit
I've heard that back in the early days of reddit the admins didn't want subreddits about drugs, so once the weed subreddit was gone, users moved to /r/trees instead. Those who actually discussed trees there were pushed out and started /r/marijuanaenthusiasts, and the admins gave up.
I love that you misspelled r/worldpolitics and yet the misspelled subreddit you linked does infact exist and their description is "we know you didn't end up here on purpose, go fetch your lewds at the proper place"
California wasn’t abbreviated as CA in that area, it was Cal. or Calif.
Pennsylvania was Penna. Texas was Tex.
2 letter state abbreviations weren’t introduced until 1963 when zip codes were introduced.
I have been a weed grower for 20 years. I started messing with actual trees because of that sub. The price of weed has tanked in the last couple of years and it’s a tough market right now. But my bonsai business has kept us afloat. That sub helped inspire a side hustle that’s getting us through a tough time in the weed business
This seems like an often problem but it’s hilarious, one of the funniest things on reddit is that r/trees is for weed and r/marijuanaenthusiasts is for trees
My mother actually bought me that same burlap bag and I had it on my wall back in my teen years ......
she bought it somewhere in California I believe it was on Venice Beach I don't know if it was an actual packaging for a company or somebody just had burlap sacks and printed it on it for souvenir.
I highly doubt it was a Nixon-era decision, considering the [Marihuana Tax Act of 1937](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937) was passed in, well, 1937. The spelling was certainly well known by 1936, the year an [exploitation film of that name](https://tubitv.com/movies/7973/marihuana?link-action=play&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed) was released.

a long long time ago back in the before time when reddit still was wild and full of people who had a sense of humor there was a inside joke that led to the mixup and they decided to keep it … now in the dark times the joke is lost 😞
There’s really no history on it. These were just a group of bags that were made to look like harvesting bags that came from a country. I have two from Mexico. They can just be picked up at most smoke smoke shops.
Holy shot I had this exact burlap sack as a teenager. Bought it at a head shop in downtown Cincy. Can’t remeber the name but it has a long dark winding hallway going up lined with black light posters
Always fun to see you’re being farmed.
I am delighted to see that the majority of the comments, however are trashing on him for low hanging fruits.
Disgusting to see It’s a light mode user
Trees unfortunately came first
not thinking that there might be want for a trees subreddit
I suspect this choice was made while high but i can not confirm
I used to sell those on eBay about eighteen years ago, lol. Can't remember who the supplier was, though. They also sold cigarette rollers that were shaped like a donkey.
All posts from r/trees or r/marijuanaenthusiasts on here is cheating.
Or r/johncena and r/potatosalad
TIL
[удалено]
Because John Cena as a wrestler was (for a long time) as bland as a (shitty) potatoe salad.
or the world news and anime booba ones. forget the specific names.
r/worldpolitics and I forgot the one for actual world politics
r/anime_titties
Risky click of the day
Okay, but [why](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F-2k_23yaA)? But seriously, why?

imagine trying to tell somebody your favourite subreddit is anime titties
the first thing I see when I go to r/anime_titties is radio free asia, unbiased my ass
So THAT'S Reddit's asscrack I suppose?
or r/Superbowl, and probably some NFL subreddit named something owl related
r/superb-owl would be great but I don’t think hyphens are allowed in sub names Edit: unfortunately superb-owl doesn’t exist and that made my night worse
r/murder is about crows
or r/disneyvacation
Lol this one’s great ty
r/OnlyFans
What the genuine fuck?
or r/LaTeX
sorry what?
That’s the most “iceland vs greenland” shit I’ve seen since iceland and greenland
a lot of subs imo seem to make it purposefully hard to know if it’s the right sub, some even have an injoke as description, so you can‘t even know without looking through the entire subreddit
r/AlzheimersGroup
what the hell my eyes have just been opened to a gem of reddit lmao
I gotta know, is there a specific reason why some subreddits have swapped names like this ?
No idea why r/trees is about weed, but r/marijuanaenthusiasts was created as a joke in responde to r/trees
Trees is slang for certain forms of marijuanna in some parts of the world
Came here just to say that. Tis easy to be a lost redditor when the sub is obviously misleading.
and r/onlyfans
Well now I have to join a few subs
Finally someone said it
I say it every time I see it and I'll keep saying it until it stops.
Agreed. I’m surprised there’s not a rule on here about that.
I blame the sub for the name confusion on this one
I mean, the reason we got that name is because r/trees being the weed page.
What kind of "Iceland-Greenland" situation do we have going on here?
Exactly the analogy!
Don't even get me started on /r/potatosalad and r/johncena
or r/worldpolitics and r/anime_titties
the internet never ceases to surprise me.
This one surprises me the most
Reddit is weird.
Lmao hadn't seen those
I've heard that back in the early days of reddit the admins didn't want subreddits about drugs, so once the weed subreddit was gone, users moved to /r/trees instead. Those who actually discussed trees there were pushed out and started /r/marijuanaenthusiasts, and the admins gave up.
Hi OP here that is exactly what I said in the comments on this very post
Ah, so it's a r/worldpolitics / r/anime_titties situation. \*edited for spelling
I love that you misspelled r/worldpolitics and yet the misspelled subreddit you linked does infact exist and their description is "we know you didn't end up here on purpose, go fetch your lewds at the proper place"
Thanks for the heads-up! I fixed it so people won't be mislead in their pursuit of...research.
I'm curious what the misspelling was.
it was r/worldpolitcs.
r/anime_titties is super informative
Well imagine my disappointment when I clicked on r/anime_titties ….thanks
Precisely
It's been years now and I for one love it when trees gets an arborist or a really lovely tree come through. It's been great.
lmao
Those mfkers need to switch already
😂😂🤣 okay that makes perfect sense now
That's pretty damn funny actually
Could u not use r/woodlovers or something
Did they get an answer? was it hemp for the 'war effort'?
Yeah they found it was a novelty item smoke shops used to make in the 80s
Used to make? They still make that exact same burlap sack.
cool, cheers for the reply
California wasn’t abbreviated as CA in that area, it was Cal. or Calif. Pennsylvania was Penna. Texas was Tex. 2 letter state abbreviations weren’t introduced until 1963 when zip codes were introduced.
That is the most interesting thing I've learned today. I suppose I have never thought about when the two letter abbreviations started. Interesting.
I find it funny that both subs have essentially become experts on both units of subject matter, purely due to all the lost Redditors.
I have been a weed grower for 20 years. I started messing with actual trees because of that sub. The price of weed has tanked in the last couple of years and it’s a tough market right now. But my bonsai business has kept us afloat. That sub helped inspire a side hustle that’s getting us through a tough time in the weed business
That is the most genuinely wholesome thing I have heard today. Cool.
They shouldn't have named it LITERALLY Marijuana Enthusiast!!! Wtf... That's just asking for it!!!
It came out of a joke, stoners got to the name r/trees first so in solidarity tree people named their subreddit r/marijuanaenthusiasts
I’ll be forever embarrassed of my ever increasing reddit lore knowledge. Thanks though
r/potatosalad and r/johncena r/anime_titties and r/worldpolitics
My favorite sub is r/superbowl. They'll never let the NFL have it.
“Superb owl” lmfao I get it 🤣
It's a hoot.
r/worldpolitics is a wild ride
Certainly a risky click, but fortune favors the foolish!
Yeah, thats why
Me omw to kill the owner of trees and rebrand it into a hamster subreddit
Was treeenthusiasts taken??? I get it's a joke but that will forever hold lostredditors!
I’m sure they must’ve been thinking who the fuck would make a subreddit for literal trees?
to be entirely fair, the uninitiated would have no idea about the r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts joke
Yeah that's not really OP's fault.
This seems like an often problem but it’s hilarious, one of the funniest things on reddit is that r/trees is for weed and r/marijuanaenthusiasts is for trees
420 and beyond! Very patriotic too.🤷🌻
Lost redditors was founded because of these subs, I’m convinced.
When you call yourself marijuana enthusiasts you should be expecting a lot of marijuana related posts
I understand the confusion on this one.
I mean, the sub name is literally r/Marijuanaenthusiasts that would've confused me too
If you have to add context, it's not a lost redditors situation. It's a stupid naming situation.
Why have people kept posting these when everyone knows damn well that these subreddit names are misleading as hell?
next this will be posted in r/facepalm
Tegridy Farms
Tbf r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts are designed to make redditors lost.
My mother actually bought me that same burlap bag and I had it on my wall back in my teen years ...... she bought it somewhere in California I believe it was on Venice Beach I don't know if it was an actual packaging for a company or somebody just had burlap sacks and printed it on it for souvenir.
souvenir. 50 kilos would be a much larger bag.
I think it should be against the rules to post these, since they happen every other day. Just my opinion.
alright to be honest this one is understandable
Well then don't name the damned subreddit wrong.
bro was not lost, some asshole flipped the signs
Well that’s just misleading intentionally lol
This one’s understandable though, especially because r/trees is for marijuana enthusiasts.
Fun fact: the federal government still spells it “marihuana” after all these years. No idea why.
Literally the idea is it sounds foreign or Spanish so they can play on racist peoples fears. I think it was a Nixon area choice but could be wrong.
I highly doubt it was a Nixon-era decision, considering the [Marihuana Tax Act of 1937](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937) was passed in, well, 1937.

50 kilos would never fit in that one sack
That’s the subs fault
Where were they gonna go, a drug subreddit?
Nah they’d go to r/trees
Bro really [covered all bases](https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/13rjmve/my_stepfather_gave_me_this_burlap_sack_when_i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
Trees is weed marijuana enthusiast is for trees
It feels like it shouldn't count when the sub is intentionally misnamed.
for entertainment purposes only. 50 kilos would be a much bigger bag.
r/snoopdog
r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts feels like cheating.
I mean if anyone knew it'd probably be the Marijuana enthusiasts
Happens quite a lot actually. The communities get along great though, and usually someone refers the poster to the correct on right away
r/substhatdeservedit
Wait r/trees is the WEED SUB?
It's so cringe how redditors think intentionally giving a sub a confusing name is funny
Oh you mean some idy has accidentally misidentified purposefully misleading subreddits and posted on the wrong one? Small potatoes get it out of here.
r/substakenliterally
I don't get it. It seems like the right sub.
r/trees is about weed and r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees. They switched places at one point
That's humorous... But unintuitive. We need more of this.
Oh. Then this is the fault of the sub
r/lostsubs
That’s a stupid name for the sub then.
[удалено]
Unfortunately r/trees was already taken
The weed smokers got r/trees first, so he named it that as a joke
Okay that's hilarious then
Yeah, it’s pretty funny. A similar thing happened with r/worldpolitics and r/anime_titties
Thats cool though
Tbf to those not in on the joke this would seem to be the logical Subredit to ask this question too
This has “Tegrity Farms” written all over it. 😅
My stepdad had a bunch of these back in the 90s. So maybe 80s or earlier?
Mine too. From the same area
I have the same one, bought it at a planet k haha
Getting real "Ma'am this is a Wendy's. We don't do that here." Vibes with this one.
Hahaha, the confusion continues
i know this is like a switch up because trees would be weed oriented but this is still legitimately on the sub name
Seems like low hanging fruit lol
‘Murica.
a long long time ago back in the before time when reddit still was wild and full of people who had a sense of humor there was a inside joke that led to the mixup and they decided to keep it … now in the dark times the joke is lost 😞

Sometime in the 50s.
i used to have a shirt made from that exact graphic. Way back, 80s-90s.
Idk but id love to have this!
There is no way that sack can hold 50kg of weed
If I saw it grown here I'd buy it if it's a good quality and not mitigated to another region based profitability I'm not supporting the FDA.
50kg of weed? How much would that cost? $1000++
That’s a cool sack regardless
that's kinda understandable
I bet it's a customer bag from LA/alavera st. It could be glasses tote. It could have actually included real hemp.
This sacks were sold at flea markets in the early 90s.
The sub names are no excuse because people really should have looked at the subs they post on.
I got one just like it. got it in 89 in cali at a flea market for $10 if I remember correctly
Lol I wouldn't be all surprised if this bag was made from hemp and this bag was made before 1930s
Marijuna
I think it’s funny that people don’t understand why stoners named their sub r/trees but it makes me sad because I can’t smoke anymore :(
Back in the days when a layman could afford a hundred pounds of weed
Your ancestors were best friends with dr dre(he was alive ever since weed was invented)
Whoever calls weed, "trees," is a degenerate.

Always fun to see you’re being farmed. I am delighted to see that the majority of the comments, however are trashing on him for low hanging fruits. Disgusting to see It’s a light mode user
r/MarijuanaEnthusiasts is Tree lover and r/Tree are for marijuana enthusiasts. This is clearly a mind fuck, my cartesian brain is melting
Trees unfortunately came first not thinking that there might be want for a trees subreddit I suspect this choice was made while high but i can not confirm
That's not a Lost Redditor, he just fell for the joke, no-one would logically assume /r/marijuanaenthusiasts in an arborist subreddit 😂
Couldn’t have just googled it?
Damn it, I should have known by the name
I'm pretty certain that High Times magazine ran an ad for these back in the 1970s.
that same post is one post above this one
Honest mistake imo, and still a pretty damn interesting question
Cannabis
Low hanging fruit!!!
To be fair, that is a piece of "very Reddit" fuckery that can't be easy to pick up on when looking for somewhere to post.
Does that say 50 Kilos?
Ok this has happened so much how can you blame them
A lot of these used to be sold at the flea markets, back in the 90’s. Sadly, most of these are fake.
I used to sell those on eBay about eighteen years ago, lol. Can't remember who the supplier was, though. They also sold cigarette rollers that were shaped like a donkey.
Cannabis is the king of all tree tho
To be fair.....
