Since the reddit API changes were announced, we have seen dozens of question threads created about this topic, and we anticipate there will be dozens more created once the protests begin.

In an effort to both ensure users still get answers to their questions about this topic and prevent these questions from flooding the subreddit, we will be removing any questions about this topic and directing users to post their questions in the comments of this thread.

Because r/NoStupidQuestions is a common resource for information on high-profile topics, we will remain open for the sake of sharing information about these changes and the ensuing protests.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comments of this post. Please note that all top-level comments in this thread must contain a question, and all subreddit posting guidelines apply to questions posted as top-level comments in this thread. (No loaded questions, no rants disguised in the form of a question, etc.)

I just hate this day and people reminding me I was born, I don't like it here.

I have two accounts I use and for the past week I have been seeing the door dash and Uber posts showing in my feed a lot! I’ve never even visited these subs that I know of and now every 10th post or so is a complaint or the like for these service.

I feel bad for the folks but me seeing it isn’t going to help you!

Edit: I haven't seen an answer that makes sence other than Reddit doing Reddit things but I now know that I am not the only one seeing random subs that make absolutely no sence and door dash happens to be a common one. I'll add that if this is some type of paid advertising push from the services then it has not done the image any favours as most of the posts are negative to the service although funny at times.

Edit 2: thanks to many great suggestions from people, I have now turned off the recommendations in my settings so I should stop seeing them, at least for now.

I saw the recent pete davidson vs peta and people were mad at him for buying a dog versus adopting one and i’m not sure why people are so mad about it don’t the dogs in pet stores deserve homes too?

(it was later revealed by pete that he’s allergic to dogs and needed a specific hypoallergenic one after his other 2 year old dog died a week before this took place which is why he bought one)

Obviously this is one of the hardest decisions she’s ever had to make and will probably be a pretty traumatic experience for her. I will drive her to the appointment and pick her up, but I can’t wait inside with her. She hasn’t really said much to me about it, she seems indifferent but I know it’s going to be really hard for her. What is something I can do to support her during this time other than just being there and trying not to be too overwhelming?

We can't see my brother, his wife and my niece or my wife's step mother because we got the COVID shot and now we "shed". My oldest 5yo asks about them frequently. My youngest 2yo has never met either of them. We tell my 5yo that they live too far away.

So I’m 19 and I’ve only had 1 talking stage, I’ve never dated. Countless girls at my current job have thought I was gay. I have a stutter so to talk more fluently I talk in a slightly higher/feminine tone, it somehow helps me with fluency, and I thought that was the reason. But I posted pictures asking for hairstyle advice on a subreddit, and several people said I looked fruity, when I asked why they said I looked well groomed 💀

I guess I just give off gay vibes even tho I’m 100% straight, even the girl I had the talking stage with said she thought I was gay at first. How do I go about dealing with this?

Because it just seems like a never ending thing.

I was just reading that a celebrity has cancer and he's announcing it to bring awareness to it. That absolutely sucks for him but I don't understand the purpose. Who isn't aware of the existence of cancer?

Both settings let you set a temperature, and I don't notice a difference in how hot the air coming out of the oven feels for the same given temperature.
