Hi, /r/MegaLoungeAvapoet. I hid a picture from you!
One of Reddit‘s MegaLounges, access to which is gained by being gilded in the prior MegaLounge (or /r/lounge itself, in the case of the firs t MegaLounge). For the last 5 years, it‘s been possible to buy “Reddit Gold“ subscriptions, and for most of that time it‘s been possible to anonymously gift individual months of Reddit Gold to other users (know n as “gilding“), in acknowledgement of a contribution they‘ve made on the site. Having “Reddit Gold“ grants you access to the official gold subreddit /r/lounge; getting gilded while in /r/lounge gets you access to the unofficial /r/MegaLounge, and so on. There are several dozen ‘ levels‘. I‘m pretty sure that an outside observer, given the advance k nowledge of this blog post, could easily tell when I‘m in the process of getting over an illness just by the food I eat. I‘m pretty sure tha t I have a particular ‘tell‘ in the foods I look for when I‘m on the c usp of recovering from a cold, like now: or, I suppose, on those rare ocassions that I‘ll have drunk enough to be suffering from a hangover. Take this lunchtime, for example. I‘ve been off work for the last cou ple of days, laid low by what seems to be the very same cold that I wa s sure I‘d dodged when everybody else got it, last month (I blame Anna bel, the contagious little beast, who‘s particularly keen on shoving h er hands into people‘s mouths). Today I‘m back on my feet, but working…
