From 'things I thought were huge problems when I was a kid' to 'the shoes you wear when your mom tells you to take out the trash', the amount of themes you can see on r/Starterpacks is quite something. However, niche posts usually don't get that many upvotes. "More relatable topics tend to get more likes as people can say 'Hey! That's me!'" the moderators of the subreddit told Bored Panda.

2020 has been a really good year for the community—the subreddit has grown by about 500k new members, and it might even reach 2 million in 2021. "The Covid-19 Pandemic had a lot of people stuck at home and on Reddit. People wanting to look at memes about their current situation could be a major contributor [to r/Starterpacks popularity]," the moderators explained.

The story of the starter pack started around the caveman years in 2014 on Twitter by a user named ItsLadinaPlis with the 'I date black guys' starter pack. According to moderator WaddlesJP13, that single post spawned a bunch of other starter packs, basically turning it into a meme instantly, and leading to the creation of many forums and pages dedicated to the format, such as r/Starterpacks. "Somehow, the format is still really popular 6 years later and the subreddit," they wrote. Pretty good for a meme!

PAN-da (hehe get it) 3 years ago

it's called the rake! it's a bit of a creepypasta, but people have claimed to see it and have films and pictures of it, so some experts on stuff like this suspect that something called tulpa might be happening here, which is when enough people think about something and want it to be real, they can will it to be with just their minds, and this has been seen in the philip the ghost experiment!

The "...and in English?" one bugs me when it's used for something pretty common, but they're assuming the audience is incredibly dumb and/or can't use context clues. "His eye was killing him, so he went to an ophthalmologist." "Okay, right... and in English that's...?" "She's an eye doctor."
