More than most, probably. Just like how Reddit learns things from posters on Facebook (and, yes, Cracked), everyone on the Internet gets inspiration from everywhere else on the Internet. Our writers get their information from all over the place, including Reddit, but I think a more important question is "How often do you source your information in your articles?" and the answer to that is "Always." If someone learned something on a Reddit thread, it will be sourced. For example, Daniel O'Brien learned on Reddit that the word "Ewok" is never uttered in Return of the Jedi, and that inspired this article. He clearly states that he saw it on Reddit, and he came up with many other entries on his own. We also have strict rules about how many entries can come from the same source: 1. We would never run an article where two entries are taken from the same place, including Reddit. There are tons of websites I could name that run articles where every single item is just taken from Reddit, then at the end they put "Inspired by this Reddit thread!" We are not one of those sites.
"All I Want For Christmas is You" by anyone who is singing it at the time.

Gladstone is very giggly in real life. He likes to giggle. My only complaint is that he constantly carries around a greenscreen and video camera asking me to countdown all the numbers I hate. It's frustrating because I love all numbers.

An article can take between weeks and months to get published. Our editorial process is meticulous and brutal, despite the prevalence of jokes about pooping, dicks, vaginas, butts, and pooping butts. If four out of five entries are good but the fifth isn't sitting right with our editorial team, it will be rejected until everything is perfect. Some articles don't take long, but some will sit in our workshop for months being rewritten and further researched until everyone is happy with it.

No, but only because I haven't learned anything.
