What today's Reddit Hot posts reveal
Hot is a same-day attention board, not a news wire. Rank 1 is a medical memoir with a 13-tumor count that did not match a press story. Rank 3 is NASA imagery. Ranks 4-6 and 8-10 are meme and pet titles. The washer clip at 7 is the only stunt video.
Yesterday's civic and sports human-interest rows (t-shirt, Afghanistan, overpass, Pope photo) are entirely off.
