Reddit couldn't kill off anything, lmao. Reddit is honestly such a cesspool of stupidity and lacks any substance to compare with a forum. Forums have and always will be better.

As to whether or not forums have a chance? With today's generation, hell no. They all have very short attention spans and would much rather spend their time on a shitty site like tik tok.

Some things on TikTok are funny but at the same time alot of it is garbage.

Why do people use avatars?

I'm affiliated with a few busy forums I'm so glad avatars aren't used

On here it feels like I'm posting with BOTS

Well there are billions of people over 30 on the planet, we don't need to attract the younger generation to forums. I'm fine posting with adults

TikTok is an odd place. I scroll videos on there sometimes but after a while I fail to see the point and close it. Lol

Opposite viewpoint here, I'd be more inclined to think people are bots if they didn't use avatars. Just seeing a bunch of usernames is boring. Avatars give people a way to express themselves and I can identify users faster and more easily by their avatar.

My mother loves the fiesta veggie burrito, so she had that and some nacho fries. I just went simple, two cheesy roll ups lol

Has Reddit killed forums? No. Probably all the other social media platforms though.

Definitely social media. People like to be able to click and do things now, short replies (160-180 characters or less) and being able to share with your friends led to the death of most forums.

Well luckily there is still room for forums. The forum world is less busy these days but those of us who are still using them seem to be coexisting very nicely. When forums were booming back in the day there was way more trolls and spammers. So much chaos and drama all the time. Kind of made it not such a fun hobby after a while.

Not so much, but I'm trying to eat better overall, so when I do eat out I try (and fail a lot, lol) not to overdo it!

Yeah, forum users and owners have a bit of an understanding these days...it's a dying form of communication, so take advantage and enjoy it while it lasts.

For me I need to cut it off completely. Which I've done a bunch of times. I'm gonna say... starting tomorrow no more fast food for a while! Lets see if I can stick to it.

I wish I could go cold turkey, but then I lose self control.

It helps if you have a lot of food in your fridge and cupboards at home. We have so much food that needs to be eaten, instead we've been eating junk lately and letting food expire. Need to stop doing that!

Yeah, I've got that issue, as well. Buy lots of stuff fresh, make plans to use it all, eat out and then...whoops!

Yeah its so wasteful. I just threw out a big bag of romaine lettuce and a 18 pack of eggs because it sat in the fridge too long. Should have made use of it before it was too late.

It is, but life happens. Sometimes you've had a hard day and the last thing you want to do is make food. Sometimes you're just craving some chinese food...sometimes you just want a pizza. Sometimes you're me and you're just too lazy

For me its probably working and then having zero energy after work during the week. Then on the weekends I just want to chill and not be slaving away in the kitchen.
