      Oh you didn’t know? It’s much better than that. Were it not for /r/badphilosophy, /c/sneerclub simply would not be!

      Of course, like the Basilisk herself, we should have had to invent it anyway, but it is with /r/badphilosophy that the soul of /c/sneerclub descends from the heavens to find its place in the grim corporeality down here

    Since Google has a deal with Reddit I’m sure they have a whitelist or blacklist for subreddits. There’s no way /r/shittyaskscience is given the same weight, if any, as /r/askscience despite the responses being of similar structure.
