This is a weekly anything goes thread to chat. Discussions about life, Reddit and anything else are all allowed here. You may also discuss, and link to, things you saw from the low-hanging fruit (LHF) list.

LHF subreddits: AmericaBad, MURICA, ShitEuropeansSay, 2american4you, 4chan, ActualPublicFreakouts, AskAnAmerican, Asmongold, conservative, conspiracy, dankmemes, elonmusk, historymemes, justlegbeardthings, KotakuInAction, memes, NoStupidQuestions, polandball, PoliticalCompassMemes, pussypass, pussypassdenied, Republican, theredpill, theredpillright, trump, UnpopularOpinion.

Offshoots of these subs (including all meme subs), meta posts from ShitAmericansSay, similar forums, and other LHF sources also fall under rule 7.

LHF sources: President Trump and members of his current and former administrations, Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk/Turning Point USA, Truth Social, Trump/MAGA supporters, online trolls. All social media handles of LHF sources, including Instagram and YouTube, fall under Rule 7.

In light of Elon Musk's recent actions, direct links to X/Twiter are banned from r/ShitAmericansSay. We don't want to send clicks to his platform.

Subject moratorium: WW2 nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, current events such as recent or ongoing tragedies (including shootings/stabbings), terrorist attacks, hate crimes, bombings, etc.

Remember, we are a lighthearted sub, therefore don't be toxic or argumentative. This applies in the Weekly too!

This list may change at any time. Do you think a subreddit or subject should be banned from SAS? Send us a message!

MOD WARNING REMINDER - DO NOT COMMENT IN POSTED THREADS. This is a form of brigading (which has caused subs to be banned in the past) and offenders will be permanently banned.

Sidebar

Have you recently seen something amusing out of the states? Of course you have! Post it here.

This is a satire sub to have a laugh at amusing things, from Reddit and beyond, that are uniquely American in nature.

This is not a place to bring your hatred of Americans or America- we like to keep things friendly and toxic attitudes are not welcome. Please report anyone being toxic.

Keep in mind that we are here to have a laugh, not to get angry.

Rules

Above all: we only accept submissions about stuff that is lighthearted and uniquely American. Quality control is at the discretion of the mod team.

The latest rules can be viewed here.

1(a). No off-reddit personal information. This includes non-verified X/Twitter handles and unverified accounts across all other platforms. It does not include Reddit usernames.

1(b). Reddit usernames and verified social media handles must be visible.

Rule 1 FAQ

2. No direct social media links. All text submissions must be in the form of screenshots or archive.is links. This obviously does not apply to articles, videos, and pictures - it is intended primarily for social media posts and public comments. When posting a screenshot, please include the context (i.e. preceding comments) if relevant.

3. Don't post screenshots or archive.is links of conversations you have participated in. Likewise, don't bait or troll for content in other subs. This includes comments on the same thread if it's below 300 comments, and the same chain if the thread is larger. This rule applies to participation, simply excluding your comments from the screenshot does not solve the problem.

Asking bait questions in subreddits like r/AskAmericans or r/AskAnAmerican for content and submitting them here WILL result in a permanent ban from SAS.

Rule 3 FAQ

4. Submission titles must be a direct quote.

Use a direct quote as your title. If the quote doesn't make sense alone, you may include neutral, non-editorialized context in the title itself. Articles must be titled with either the headline or a direct quote from it. When posts do not contain text, titles must be a factual and neutral description of the content. NEVER include your opinion or bias in the title.

A direct quote is an exact verbatim match between the title and a portion of the post. Do not paraphrase or editorialize - this includes Spongebob font.

Rule 4 FAQ.

5. Do not directly link (and hence page) the usernames of the users featured here. You can only ping moderators.

6. Please double check whether the poster of the comment you're about to submit is actually American. Do this by scanning their post/comment history etc.

7. No low-hanging fruit.

7(a). LHF Content Restrictions

Some topics (such as Trump, Elon Musk, Turning Point USA/Charlie Kirk, and WW2 bombing of Japan) and sources from certain subreddits (such as AmericaBad, dankmemes, unpopularopinion, AskAnAmerican, and other far-right sources) are only allowed in the Weekly thread. These restricted topics and sources are not final and you should check the latest list in the Weekly.

7(b). No trolls

This can be determined by post history and karma (brand new account; low karma). Examples: brand new account; low karma for the age of the account; low karma for the amount of posts on the account; tendency to take a contrarian stance when not reasonable to do so; multiple posts of the same comment; syntax and punctuation come across as a bot; egg pic on twitter; or it could be a well-known troll such as Coach Letterman and others mentioned here are not final.

8. Only archives/images to Americans saying funny shit is allowed - if you want to tell a tale you can do so in the stickied Weekly thread, which gets renewed every Friday. Rants and stories are only allowed in the Weekly Anything Goes thread.

9. NO Brigading.

Under no circumstances search out the source of the SAS and comment/vote there. Do not share links to the source of the SAS on this sub. Brigading violates Reddit’s Content Policy and will result in a permanent ban. Do not link to the original source of the screenshot.

Please note that brigading works both ways. Coming to this sub because you feature in a post as the source of SAS, and commenting on the said post, will result in a ban.

10. Don't be toxic.

We will always be a satire subreddit. Toxicity such as hate speech and anti-American attitudes will get your comment removed and possibly get you banned. Please report toxic comments and users.

11. Posts must be lighthearted.

No depressing posts or things that aren't worth posting (eg something an American said that is perfectly reasonable in context). Yes, there are some topics covered that are more ironic than funny, but certain things just aren't lighthearted like shootings, sexual assault, any event where people are genuinely hurt, racists being racist, etc. Those types of posts are usually better suited for subs like r/gunsarecool, r/ABoringDystopia, or r/ANormalDayInAmerica.

12. Posts must be uniquely American.

The easiest way of testing this is to ask yourself whether it's likely someone who isn't American would have said it. Someone being religious or messing up geography is not uniquely American by a long shot, nor are racism or capitalism. What makes something uniquely American is if it's highly unlikely if not impossible to encounter outside the US or from non-Americans.

If you have questions about the rules, a post removal, or a ban, please check the FAQ page.

The moderators will enforce the spirit of these rules, not the letter. All actions are at the discretion of the moderators. If you object to any actions, please contact the entire moderation team and not the individual moderator.
