Do we have a kidsarefuckingstupid community? We should

Edit: I guess people haven't heard about the joke sub that posted silly stories about kids doing illogical things. Ya know, kids being kids.

I'm willing to settle for c/kidsarefuckingadorable if there is no similar community yet

But this kid wasn't. How else should she react?

Well yeah it's sarcastic, obviously 9 out of 10 times it's adorable. But also really stupid in a funny way

Takes one to know one.

It's an opinion formed by personal experience.

I can attest to that opinion

As funny as those subs were, imortalizing a child on the internet doing something stupid is pretty fucked up.

If they're not old enough to have scocial media, they certainly are not old enough to be on scocial media.

Although, I suppose anonymous stories like this one are fine.

Nah it's more stories like this post. A meme community to share kid stories that are a mix between dad/parent humor and absurd/illogical/stupid scenarios (through the lens of an adult, but makes perfect sense for the kid). Like this:

Those ones are fun

I have a leaf collection from when I was a kid - this kid very well might grow up and still have that cool leaf. People assume kids will just throw them away, but it's not necessarily true. That leaf is probably even more than just a cool leaf to her now, because now she'll also have the memory of nearly losing it to an ice cream man.

There was a lot of general child-hate on that sub. If people are going to have a community here posting when kids doing weird or silly things, let's not name it something that will attract toxic garbage
