One of my secret pleasures (and feel free to chime in if you’re a geek like me) is looking through various colorful guides and infographics, from what plants are edible in forests to hypothetical explanations on how best to survive the zombie Apocalypse that 2020 promised but never delivered.

The multi-million-member ‘Cool Guides’ community on Reddit is the prime place to go to for (yup, you guessed it!) cool guides. From aesthetically pleasing and very informative ones to quirky and funny ones, you’ll find a bit of everything to keep those noggins of yours learning and yearning for more, dear Pandas.

Bored Panda had a lovely chat with redditor Dadschool, who founded the r/coolguides subreddit way back in 2014 and is still its head moderator to this very day. Having started the sub with no real expectations of forming a community around it, he filled a niche on Reddit that had been empty. "I had a bit of a compulsive habit of saving every guide I came across on Reddit with the idea that I'd somehow reference it when I needed it later. There weren't really any subs for general guides so I made one and uploaded all my guides at once. I think a lot of people have a similar affection for bitesize trivia and hoarding generalist knowledge." You'll find the rest of our interview with the founder below.

Upvote your fave guides as you scroll on down, drop us a comment with your thoughts below, and go and join the r/coolguides subreddit if it’s right up your alley. But a quick note of warning before we begin: this is a community mostly for guides; infographics are in a bit of a grey area.

The founder, Dadschool, was very humble about his role in expanding the community. "I can say it is only able to be this size because moderators like @etymologynerd and @robinsparkles18 are as active as they are, and the time they take out of their day to check in," he praised his colleagues. With a leader so supportive, no wonder that the mod r/coolguides mod team stands shoulder to shoulder, come hell or high water.

"The unique thing about Reddit is that subreddits really are independent and are autonomously moderated communities. I think our subscriber ranking is something like 190 across all of Reddit and it's not like there's monetization options after you break 200 or conversations with Reddit corporate. We're the same mod team we were a few years ago, excited that we broke 100k, and checking Reddit throughout the day to make sure no one uploaded the same damn apple guide uploaded 100 times that week," the founder claimed that things are still pretty much as they've always been.

Dadschool revealed that the biggest challenge that he and the other moderators face is reacting in time to remove hateful and troll guides as soon as humanly possible. However, that's not always possible because they all have day jobs; moderating is something that they do during their spare time. "We all are working professionals so it's easy for something to slip by and stay out there for way longer than it should and that's always a total bummer—a total lose/lose for the community."

Nowadays, the founder of r/coolguides is a tad more lax about infographics than when he first founded the subreddit. These days, he's more keen to let the community decide what direction it wants to go via upvotes and engagement. He trusts the community. "I see the moderator role as more akin to a landscaper: pruning [troll] posts, removing harmful posts, and moderating for content diversity. Subscribers are much better judges of content quality and validity than moderators and I think it's important to trust them in that role." He added (and this is a feeling that I completely agree with): "I will admit, however, that the majority of guides I enjoy most myself rarely break 50/100 upvotes."

For those of you Pandas who are raring to post a guide on r/coolguides, head moderator Dadschool is all for it: "Go for it!" Just remember to avoid reposts, so have a look through the newest posts. "We do try to maintain some content diversity, so don't upload all ten of your favorite ab workout guides at once. If you have the source, be a buddy and list that too in the comments or title to give credit where it's due!" he gave some advice for newcomers.

The niqab and the burka should not be legal in our society. First because the face is the way of conveying emotions and covering it it’s dehumanising but specially for security. The other veils should be all legal for adults but not for kids since they cannot consent to them. I am heartbroken each time that I see a 8yo covered like if she needs to be hidden while her brothers run around freely.

Covering up your women shows the men in your society have a serious problem, if you are disturbed about the veow of a woman's legs or cleavage then you clearly have a problem with thinking about sex too much. But then we knew when it's OK to marry girls who are too young in these places.

Well, you can wear any colour! So whilst you would be highly unlikely to see a lady wearing hot pink burqa, I have seen many ladies wearing hot pink hijabs. I think it depends on where you are and those you are around, just as any choice of clothes for any person does really.

All muslims are required to dress modestly. The male version is less extreme. Men will cover most of their hair. You don't see Muslim men in shorts (except sportsmen) or shirtless. Until the mid-20th century, it was common for married Christian women to cover their hair when in public. Just think of images of medieval woman in white veils, Henry VIII's wives with angular hoods or Victorian women in their bonnets. The hats gradually got smaller through the 20th century but even in the 50's, a married woman still commonly wore a hat when going out.

Exactly. We also used to cover our women as if they needed to be ashamed of themselves. But we evolved. Cultures need to grow or they get stagnant in the past. Muslim countries used to me some of the most advanced ones and not they have regressed so much that are more restrictive than in medieval times.

Its dehumanising to hide the face of a person. Also dangerous to not be able to identify somebody (same as a mask or baklava). Thats why they are usually banned in europe.

As an atheist, I am firmly against ALL religions. I understand the need for spirituality but I do not condone controlling the masses thru obscurantism and superstitions. I also do not condone any acts of violence committed in the name of ANY religion. That said, I respect personal garment choices be they very modest or the opposite.

someone said this was oppression, and I partially disagree. while wearing revealing clothing or showing your face or wearing work clothes can be empowering for some women, wearing any of the above garments for any reason could be empowering too! It should be a free choice, but I do Not believe that it should be illegal or even looked down upon

Empowerment isn't individual. Things that empower women, empower women as a class, not make an individual feel good. If it raises woman as a whole up and gives them power, it's empowering (voting rights, land ownership, money ownership, divorce ability, etc) if it doesn't give women as a class power but makes you feel good or maybe makes your personal life a tad easier, it's not (wearing makeup, shaving, wearing super revealing stuff or religion mandated modest clothing, etc)

So, the definition of dressing modestly is required by Islam, but varies by culture/ area? Do I have it right? Why are some areas requiring burka and others just covering hair? How is this justified by Quran?

You do have it right and honestly I don’t even know and I’m Iranian. In Iran the hijab and chador are most popular. Chador is required for church, and hijab is what most people use, but all the others are around except the burka. Burka seems pretty popular in the Arab world (Iranians are not Arab). In Iran even the religious girls will pull back their hijab til it’s damn near down at their shoulders unless you’re near where the police will give you shît about it. I really don’t know what the Quran even says about this because I’m not really Muslim. But in Iran there are many religions so even though the government is Muslim they don’t make everyone wear the same style of headdress. It’s weird and dumb really.

There are many valid criticisms of islam. Modern religious[3][11][12] and secular[13][14][15][16] criticism of Islam[11][12][13][14][15][16] has concerned Muhammad's sincerity in claiming to be a prophet, his morality, his ownership of slaves,[17][18] his treatment of enemies, his marriages,[19] his treatment of doctrinal matters, and his alleged psychological condition. Muhammad has been accused of sadism and mercilessness—including the invasion of the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina[20][21][22][23][24][25]—sexual relationships with slaves, and his marriage to Aisha when she was six years old,[19][26][27] which according to most estimates was consummated when she was nine.[28] From wikipedia.

The University of Bath has some excellent advice on how to create a proper guide that’s useful for your readers. Yes, it's a guide for creating guides: we're officially in meta-territory now.

They suggest that you address the reader directly, rather than in the third person (i.e. ‘you Pandas should upvote this awesome article’ instead of ‘Pandas may upvote this absolutely amazing article at the very bottom of the page’).

What’s more, you should aim to write concisely. Plainly. Simply. Structure and break up the content to make it easier to read. Give your guide some flow and make it easy for the reader to understand what’s what.

Meanwhile, some of the things that you should avoid are incredibly technical terms in the title and headings. Also, omit useless words and info. Less. Is. More. (Unless you absolutely have to add in those extra words for whatever unavoidable reasons.)

The ‘Cool Guides’ subreddit celebrated its 7th birthday, a magical milestone if there ever was one, just over a week ago on March 20.

Since having been founded in 2014, the community now has nearly 2.1 million members and continues to grow. Despite the vast number of members, the team of moderators remains compact, numbering at just 5 (as far as we can tell from their page on Reddit—there may be more who choose to remain more mysterious and secretive).

According to the mods, their online page is for “picture based reference guides for anything and everything. If it seems like something someone might print, physically post, and reference then it is a good link for this sub.”

However, this doesn’t always include infographics. The mods explain that infographics are learning tools, whereas guides are reference tools. Sometimes, the area between the two becomes blurred.

ADVERTISEMENT

If you do end up posting what the mods deem to be an infographic, they might decide to remove it. “An infographic is more educational in layout and content, finding something specific on an infographic is not as easy because it is designed to inform through more narrative structures. If your guide is more of a visual essay than a structured table or list, then chances are that is an infographic. Sometimes infographics can masquerade as how-to guides.”

First you decline, then be gracious. Wording is very essential and people tend to pay attention to the sentence after the "but". For example "I won't be able to make it, but thank you for considering me" vs "thank you for inviting me, but I can't come". I think the first one sounds better, even if it's essentially the same.

And at night, you're much more visible if you have reflectors on your bike and two lights (white at the front, red at the back). And not on their blinking setting, because that's distracting for other traffic

Lol. And I cannot do more than 2000 steps a day without massive pain for the next two days. I hate my body. Please healthy people, cherish your body and energy.
