I have quite a few of these, but I'll share the biggest one by saying every time I hear the words discord or reddit (yes, "reddit" is a word, it's Latin), I think of the places. Like when someone mentions Eris threw the "apple of discord" into the party of the gods, or that the villain of MLP is named Discord, I think of an apple or pony personifying the place, and I picture a bunch of code scrolling through an otherwise silhouette of an apple or pony like in The Matrix.
Side note, a triad of questions I often see people asking us who associate things together which I find interesting...
"What colour do you associate with your name?"
"That would be [insert colour]."
"Do you like that colour?"
"I would have to say [gives opinion on colour]."
"Do you like your name?"
I guess a lot of people like to experiment because they assume all associated things are going to bear the same opinion.
Isn't reddit more a pun on "Read-it" as in "I read it"?
Reddit is Latin for "give back", "return", or "deliver", it even shows up in song lyrics.
