Curious about if there is any discernable difference anyone can see if they may have popped in to Reddit today? I know it’s probably naive to think there would be a big difference first day.
I deleted rif and never even used other apps or desktop site so I won’t be going back, hense the question to those that are accessing the site.
I would agree if 1/4 of the country wasn’t covered in a fog equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes while another 1/4 is getting 115F temps. We had to wear masks a couple days ago… outside. When the 80 year old weatherman-for-life on the news says he’s never seen anything like this, you know it’s bad. I wasn’t paying attention to the weather and was confused a week ago when I went outside and everything smelled like a delightful campfire but there was no visible smoke.
And folks aren’t at the stores. I had to grab a few 4th of July things today and went to Costco and Target. I was 1 of maybe 10 people in both. On a normal Saturday, even during rainstorms and blizzards, there are usually 15-20 minute lines at checkout with all registers open. I walked right up to the register and only half were open.
So people are either traveling or stuck inside, both prime mobile Reddit conditions.
