   I'll never understand Reddit.

   (not only is the post fucked up, look at the subreddit)

     @thelinuxcast Isn't that just a play on things like r/UnixPorn or r/CloudPorn, people on Reddit use Porn to mean something that looks good. The post itself is someone who has come to terms with there life ending soon and wanted to let the world see something nice before they pass away, everyone is being super positive about this person

     @thelinuxcast I'm not going to be one to tell someone who knows they're going to die soon how they should come to terms with that fact. If posting it online is what they want to do and how they cope then more power to them.

     @BrodieOnLinux Not a take I expected anyone to have. It's a bit grim-dark, if you want to steal a book-tube phrase.

     It's just not something that I expected to find online. A celebration of your own death before it happens is a bit macabre, imho.
