I got sucked into the Reddit vortex in 2007 and have been struggling to escape ever since. It’s the ultimate time suck. But there is indeed gold to be found there, if you dig deep enough. Case in point: r/showerthoughts – where people post mundane and consistently silly revelations that are invariably profound in their own way. Below are 15 of my favorites from this past year, which I photoshopped into a Barbara Kruger-esque template just for presentation purposes. Links to original threads are below each image.

*Caveat: if this site becomes a string of Mashable-like lists like this, you do have my sincerest permission to find me and kill me.
