In a world where people seem to want their every thought to be heard by loads of people online, comment sections can be overwhelming. About 40% of people who engage with news on social media say they avoid reading or commenting because comment sections tend to be too argumentative. Everyone brings their own opinion, worldview, and things to say, so true gems can get lost in the noise.
But sometimes, comments are so good that their authors deserve an award for their wittiness, thoughtfulness, and, sometimes, much-needed brevity. Here are some examples of the best comments on Reddit, collected from the aptly named subreddit “Best Of,” dedicated to the best replies people have come across on the platform.

Phone Box
Once when I was around 16 I visited my sister who was at a university in the UK about 100 miles from home. She got invited to a party and I tagged along. Somehow I got separated from her (not her fault or mine really - it just happened). I knew her address but nothing about the city (way before smart phones and sat nav apps). I went to a phone box and called directory enquiries at about 1am. I explained the situation and the operator (who I presume must have been local) gave me directions. I called a couple more times because I still got lost and eventually made it back to my sisters place. Before someone says this is AI slop or made up, I swear that this is absolutely true.
Redditor Uses An Analogy To Explain Why Many Women Don't Like Being Hit On In Public - "You Know How Awkward And Annoying It Is When Someone On The Street Asks You For Money? Imagine If People Bigger And Stronger Than You Asked You For Money On A Semi-Regular Basis, Regardless Of Where You Are."
When he said 'it's like being constantly approached by guys bigger and stronger than you asking for money,' he forgot the part where many will want to get back at you somehow and some may want to stalk, r-ape and k-ill you because you hurt their ego when you said 'no'. Not all beggars, of course not. Just some of them.

The Most Accurate And Succinct Summary Of The AI Hype-Bubble I Have Seen. The Good, The Bad, And The Stupid
AI is a tool that can be used positively or negatively, much like a knife (which can be used to cut your food or other things into manageable pieces, or can be used to stáb someone) or fire (which can be used for warmth and cooking, or for utter destruction). It's like GMO technology: when developed responsibly by ethical researchers, it can alleviate a lot of hunger, but when developed for profit by big corporations (like Monsanto) it can cause a great deal of harm.

John Mcafee Calls Mcafee Anti-Virus "One Of The Worst Products On The Fucking Planet
It's true, and he should know (I used to be an IT tech and would weed out McAfee and Norton antivirus whenever I came across them on a client's computer. You really have to dig them out, they're like pervasive deep-rooted brambles in the operating system.)

I'm About To Go To Netherlands Next Week(For A Job) In Waalwijk.any Advice?
Can confirm. Passports get taken, people are forced to work for very little and no chance of escape. Or. People get crammed into houses, like 4 per room easily, (now banned, but well, you know) without privacy. Or lots of different issues. You can work in the Netherlands, and housing may even be provided in a good way, but please make sure you are not taken advantage of.

The Entire Romanian Subreddit Pulls Together And Raises €5000 For A Fellow Student Redditor, To Help Her Mother Get Heart Surgery
Nobody should have to crowdfund surgery or medical needs. This is horrific on that level, but shows the best of us rallying to help. Please consider helping those in the Midwest right now without power for nine days. We drove through a wee bit of it as it was happening, we were traveling through Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio, and three was so much flooding, we were on our way across the country and saw many people coming together to help. Just a thought if you can help at all. I don't know any particular charities, but if you can help with money or food or water, please do it. It's hard to imagine the level of destruction that floods cause, they are so pervasive and what can you do when the sky won't stop falling and there's nothing dry around? (Heck yeah I live on a [tiny] mountain!)

U/Paddylandau Explains How To Clean Up And Maintain A Messy Gmail Inbox
There are other ways of dealing with it, but for me it's always been about having zero unread mails. My inbox still contains thousands of emails, and I'm happy for them to just stay there, such that in five years time if I want to remember, say, when it was that I last replaced the car battery, and the exact model and supplier I used, a simple search will find it, without me having to have thought about it at the time and added labels. (Yes, that's a real example. Leaving my late wife's car unused outside through a freezing winter kîlled it.).
