The Internet is an interesting place, full of WTF stock photos and questionable DIY anti-coronavirus solutions. But if you like your content even edgier and weirder, look no further than the subreddit r/TIHI.
Its name is an acronym for "Thanks, I Hate It" and it pretty much sums up everything you see on the sub. From a vending machine selling Pringles in a pack as opposed to a tube, to a sign warning about deer carcasses falling from trees; the 1.3 million members of r/TIHI really know how to get under each other's skin. The best part is they do it without any gore or anything. Continue scrolling and check out some of the subreddit's most popular posts!

While the exact origin of the "Thanks, I hate it" phrase is unclear, its usage saw a spike in the fall of 2017 not only on Reddit but on Tumblr as well. According to the Internet culture database Know Your Meme, it was popularly used in comments responding to strange images before it was used to title such posts.
People began using the phrase in their post titles somewhere around late 2017 and early 2018, so you can say the subreddit r/TIHI (created on November 09, 2018) is a way of keeping this meme alive.

Mashable writer Heather Dockray believes that "Thanks, I hate it" is a celebration of what they call Internet Gothic; the grotesque consisting of hellish images, perverse Photoshops, photos suggestive of late capitalism, disturbing GIFs, shitposts, nihilist memes, and all the stupid stuff we try and forget we saw on the internet.
If it wasn't for r/TIHI, the meme might've died.
"The initial idea came from another moderator of us (u/scrumbly) on another post on r/ATBGE ... He posted a comment linking to this sub and as it didn't exist yet, I decided to make it a thing," Markus, the founder of the subreddit, told Mashable in an email. "I wanted to create a place for all the beautiful posts that are both likable and hatable at the same time. But I wasn't all that serious about it, as all subs I managed before were very small as well."
This one, however, lives on. And flourishes.

The real question here is why they were reading a book called "Middlesex"
Because it is an interesting book. It's about a person identified with the wrong sex at birth and their way to "normal" life.

That eureka moment cause now... now I see *possibilities* He hacked convention.
Sound of distressed ooking is quickly getting louder with a vengeance.
Why... wait... what... why ....really.... WHY?!?? Like do you have tiny hands or something??? Like seriously.... f***ing WHHHHYYYYY ??????
the thing about 'Infinite Jest' is that you need the back part of the book to make sense of the front....
Books on my phone are portable enough. I buy physical books for reading at home and for having a material copy to put on a shelf.
What kind of cooked brain do you nened to have to even think of doing this??
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I consider this barbarian, but my Dad does it, too, because he can't read those heavy clunkers in bed otherwise. And yes, he has a kindle and no, it's not the same and he still quite often rather reads the book. Even if he has to cut it.
I don't understand the outrage. They're paperbacks, not signed first edition hardcovers.
It would never occur to me to do this, but now I see it... I have no problem with it. I've never understood people who are so precious about physical books. I mean I get people being passionate about reading, literature and so on. But what's valuable is the words, not the paper. Anything which doesn't make the book less legible is fine with me.
Eh, you know, theyre just paperbacks. As long as he's not doing it to nice hardbacks or rare books i dont mind. Its a bit extreme but they're his books.
Just you. But Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel designer) would read paperbacks and tear each page out of the book as he read it.
That's a hanging offense in many circles. Heathen! Monster! Hell bound!
I may have to review my staunch anti-death penalty stance just for this troglodyte.
I used to do that with books I took backpacking. The book itself is merely a vehicle for its contents.
Ooooh look at me reading Dostoevsky, honestly that wasn’t what this post was about I swear
Goodness Gracious - I sincerely hope there is not a second human being on earth doing THIS......
I did this back in high-school with Gone With the Wind, and, yes, I got all of these comments from teachers, other students, and the school librarian. Enervating!
My mom does it, cause some are seriously so long, that it's even hard to hold them (for example The Outlander series)
That's not a bad idea, actually. I constantly struggle holding open a long book with only one hand when I'm on the tube in the morning. I suppose you don't need any more pages than you're going to read in a day. I'd take it to its logical conclusion and cut my books up into handy 20-30 page segments though.
That's how a lot of classic books were originally published, most things by Dickins for example.

And cut in half so they can be put in a smaller cell

You don't deserve these books, you book murderer, leave them in the shop and buy an e reader
Just carry it in a bigger bag for gods sake, two halfs will still weigh the same as the whole book so this is just vandalism.
Ofgs.... he only carries the part he is currently reading. Sheesh.

How does this make it more portable? You would then need to transport more.
They will only carry the half they are currently reading, leaving the other half at home. Though I am not defending this desecration.

You book murderer. What if that was a rare book that costs 1 mil you cut that now it costs nothing. Who's gonna buy a murdered book? Book devil.
Even if it makes me shudder, I have to admit it's a pretty good idea. But good luck donating it after you read it.

Hey BP you really didn't have to title each and every post you know. Especially since you made the same comment every single time. It got annoying. No need.
Agreed, and I annoyed myself as I read it in my head every time too!
