Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

^It's literally meme tier.

It's the idea that you can't prove something beyond your own perception, and hence can only be truly certain of your own existence. It has almost no actual 'adherents' but there are plenty of jokes in reference to it.
I like it because if it is true, I'm the actual person, since I very clearly have perception right now (from my POV). I also know that if another perceptive being is reading this, that the theory is false, and yet neither of us could be able to prove each other's existence.

I don't buy into it, but it's fun to think about for a minute or two.

Nah, they're completely safe. You shouldn't need to worry about getting a virus from Reddit.

I didn't. That link was even more meme-tier than the solipsism subreddit.

You'd have more to worry about from a Zetaboards forum like this one than Reddit, it's a pretty benign site by and large.

You need tougher internet endurance lad, that subreddit is nothing.

Check out these bad boys if you want a rough night

Go hard

Or

Go home

If you want a giggle though - Circlejerk is my favourite subreddit. The current theme is Trump, it's been Bernie Sanders, Smashmouth, Space Jam, 'Memes', Atheism and Comcast themed many times before. Quality shenanigans.

Also, NotTheOnion is a good subreddit that is probably more accessible humour.

Pulling away from a stove top doesn't mean you haven't been in a fire before, but it does mean that you've still got hands left to burn.

Give yourself over, son, it's inevitable. The internet connects us all, it will win. The fire consumes all.
