Come take a whirl with the squirrel.

Greetings and welcome to Snorkblot. We're a somewhat quirky subreddit that provides an eclectic mix of content, everything from history to philosophy to cute cat videos.

***OUR STRENGTH IS OUR COMMUNITY! Please participate!***We want your posts, your comments, and whatever other input you'd like to add. We LOVE the interchange of ideas at Snorkblot. We may not agree with you, but we want you to say your mind.

*****HOWEVER:*****Please remember the rules. We don't do personal attacks, and try to steer clear of snarky comments (unless they are on the lighter, funny side). If you do these things, you will get a warning, and so forth.

ALSO, Please, We're trying to post all politics in the Political Megathread. If you post something political on our main page, it will be removed.

There's a lot of political talk going on these days. We welcome civil political debate and posts in the Megathread. We removed almost all politics from our main page because it was threatening to take over our site. We aren't a political site and we intend to keep our original vibe and purpose on our main page.

In addition to the regular posts, we also have recurring features;

Open Forum Fridays (Fridays). We kick off every weekend with an OFF party, where everyone is encouraged to talk about whatever they want. The host will also pick a topic for the coming week (the "Weekly Theme"); users are then encouraged to come up with posts in the following week that explore that theme in some way.

10 Images From Thubanstar's Hard Drive (Wednesdays). This is a lot of fun. Every Wednesday, 'Star shares with us haunting, funny, or odd images she's encountered online.

The Glass Box. (Once a month, following the monthly staff meeting). This is a post discussing news about Snorkblot, including what the moderation team has been up to. Everyone's encouraged to discuss the topics raised, mods and regular members both.

Member Essays. We encourage any and all Snorkblot members to write essays about almost anything they feel passionate about. Rules of common sense apply.

Merchandise! Look sharp both physically and mentally with our own Snorkblot t-shirts, designed by Thubanstar and GrimSpirit42. Here's links for THIS t-shirt, THAT t-shirt, and ANOTHER t-shirt!

\*\**************************************

A Brief History of Snorkblot:

There was a site called I Am Bored. It ran for over a decade, entertaining the world with all kinds of posts guaranteed to cure boredom.

Then on January 30, 2019, it abruptly disappeared. One former Moderator, Squrlz4Ever, decided to come to Reddit and bring his merry band of Mods to start a very similar site called "Snorkblot".

We tip our hat to the Squirrel who brought us here in our banner, he is our mascot. However, we totally changed the name of the site to make sure people knew this was a new, better beginning to everyone's favorite cure for boredom.

********************************************

Enjoy your stay, keep your paws inside the vehicle, and by all means, have fun. If you like what you see, please subscribe. We'd love to have you.

The system worked surprisingly well, but it had flaws. Certain everyday noises like jangling keys or even children’s toys could sometimes trigger a channel change. Dogs were not fans either, since they could hear the ultrasonic clicks clearly.

History Tearing up Free Papers. American Anti-Slavery Almanac, Boston, 1838 (published by D.K. Hitchcock).

Post image

 Free Black people were required to carry legal documents called "freedom papers" or "certificates of freedom" to prove their non-enslaved status to authorities and slave patrols. Slave-traffickers would sieze and destroy these documents in order to abduct and forcibly enslave or re-enslave free Black people. There was no legal remedy or protection against this. The burden of proof was on them, and could easily be stolen or burned.
