Thank you for showing up to help us catalogue that which does not need cataloguing. We are a friendly, inclusive, SFW community, and we like posts that start with “Cleanlist:”

What makes a list “clean” is not that it’s SFW, although it is, but that a person viewing only top-level comments (i.e., responses to the post, not other comments) will see an all-business list with one entry per comment. Kibitzing is certainly allowed, but not in top-level comments.

Please message mods if you would like custom flair, or if you want your user flair changed. We also like to assign great list entries as flair, but we usually ask first.

Also, Cleanlisters often have multiple entries for single lists, and we only allow one entry per comment. Once you have made two or three productive contributions, feel free to message me or the mod team for approved user status. That will enable more frequent posting and an optimal r/Cleanlists experience.

Finally, we are still not great at explaining it, but we find most people get the hang of it if they stick around.

Because third-party apps keep Cleanlists accessible, we are going to set this subreddit to private and stop posting for a couple of days while (we hope) Reddit reconsiders charging for API calls.

Colorado:

You may be a has-been,

But you're living in Aspen;

You're another year older,

While dwelling in Boulder;

You might as well reside

And age in Telluride;

You were born when'ver,

But now you're in Denver.

Your Colorado birthday is here.

Celebrate another year!

Why worry about laugh lines
