Usually it's just a way of starting a thread without setting a topic
Other stuff does happen, but it's not often people chatting about their preferences or experiences in a straightforward way. In fact I reckon some people come here partly to get away from that kind of interaction.
There are also a lot of in-jokes and references, they're not hard to pick up but it's probably a bit much at first.

Reddit is like screaming in a gigantic bus station in America.
At least on here you know you’re just sort of screaming in a bus station in a middle sized town somewhere quaint in England even if you don’t live here.

no it was years ago we just had books and happiness.

I just bought books.
It has been a trial. I have been used to expanding the text on a kindle for my elderly eyes. I have reading glasses to see stuff that I can’t expand. Now I have books that cannot expand and my glasses can’t even keep up. I shall persist, in being old and unable to see small things easily. I am, however, quite happy, despite my incessant whining about how shit everything is right now.

Or anywhere.
I can tell if someone is aesthetically pleasing but also give, literally, no fucks.

Thank you, I appreciate that
Also I keep trying to press tab on an iPad which has no fucking tab key, well done, Lulu. Everything is always nearly in caps on this bit. I hadn’t been here in sixteen years and it changed a lot so I was confused and we obviously all changed and whatever. I shall stop trying to make it be not how it is.
