A point I made for new users in another thread is that the power of reddit isn't in just going there once in a while and looking at the front page, but of creating an account and customizing the list of subreddits you're subscribed to. Frankly, I think a lot of the defaults are 99% fluff and circle jerks, so I usually recommend getting rid of these unless you're into lots of image macros.
/r/AdviceAnimals /r/atheism (Note that I'm atheist - there are better ones out there.) /r/aww /r/funny /r/WTF For what it's worth, here's my full list. Favorites are bolded.

I enjoy it, but you really do have to put some effort into it to get rid of the crap. It also has a bit too much of the "I'm in high school and know everything" vibe for my taste. Pull up a post on the police doing something wrong or on any international news stories and the comments are hilarious.
But if you get into some small groups, it can be a decent discovery tool. |

The Internet has become, for me, little more than reddit, chiefsplanet, YouTube, and Facebook.

Take out YouTube, and that's basically me (unless it's a video linked from one of the other three). Every once in a while I think "I should look for something else to do online" and literally can't think of any other sites I'm really interested in.
