You Don't Matter, Give Up.

Welcome to "You Don't Matter, Give Up."

This community is inspired by the concept of text that conveys opposite messages when read in a different manner. While it shares similarities with [email protected] and [email protected] in that all of these play with the idea of misreading text, YDMGU specifically focuses on phrases that can be read in both directions, with each interpretation being valid and opposites of each other.

Important Note: This subreddit is not a place for discussions about suicide or self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling with these feelings, we urge you to seek help. Please visit [email protected] or reach out to appropriate resources for support. You matter, don't give up.

Rules

  1. Stay On-Topic: All posts should relate to the theme of YDMGU-style text. Content should convey antagonistic messages when read in different directions.

  2. Be Respectful: All members should treat each other with respect. Harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.

  3. Quality Content: Strive for creativity and originality in your posts. Low-effort or repetitive content may be removed.

  4. No Misinformation: Ensure that any messages or themes shared are not misleading or harmful. The intent should be to uplift, even if the wording is ironic.

  5. No Spam or Self-Promotion: Avoid posting spam or excessive self-promotion. This includes unrelated content or links that do not fit the community’s theme.

  6. No Rule Lawyering: Moderators have the final say in all decisions regarding content and rule enforcement. If you disagree with a moderator's decision, you are welcome to discuss it in [email protected].

lol, what is it supposed to mean?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The answer is in the alt text.

"Think before you park."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

oh, thank you. this banner is very confusing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But what is the context? Would children unknowingly run into a parked vehicle there or something? I am probably missing something obvious here.

Sounds rather like parking + no pavement = child unknowingly walking before parking vehicle

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OH, so it's not a problem with having a vehicle at rest in that space. The problem comes from a moving vehicle entering that space in any way in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not any, thoughtless. You know, parking without checking if the space is clear or keeping focus on what is happening around.

Or while reading confusing signs, maybe

I feel like it's trying to convey the need to park your vehicle before you get distracted

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Actually, it's supposed to mean "think before you park".
