SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit
TITLE: Is there a popular sub-reddit just for general discussions?
POST: I feel like AskReddit gets a little immature sometimes, and i keep seeing the same questions over and over make it to the front page. I am looking for a subreddit that is at least mildly populated, where normal people talk about normal things. I am not interested in a subreddit that talks about what we did to our siblings, or how drunk we have been, or anything like that; I am looking for a place that i can ask a simple question and get 5 or 10 competent replies and then continue in the reply chain for a little while, giving and receiving valid advice/opinions.
TL;DR: 
is there a subreddit that i can ask normal questions to a small enough user base that i can carry on conversations with people, instead of just getting the karma farming top comments?
