The best Among Us attacks at r/place
If you’ve been living under a rock these past few days, the greatest social experiment and April Fool’s gift was created: r/place. This Reddit experiment was made by the man, the legend himself, Josh Wardle — who you might know for creating this other game called Wordle. Basically, r/place was a virtual canvas where Redditors can input a single pixel every 5 minutes.

It became an instantaneous hit. The final look of the canvas was an absolute masterpiece.

With that said, r/place was frequently attacked by Among Us hiding in plain sight. The attacks were so frequent that even Reddit itself acknowledged it.

There were so many Among Us attacks that even a computer program couldn’t count them all accurately…
With the griefing error its not too precise, since it thinks stuff like the American flag stars count. Here's what its at with just 2 pixels of error:

So, we scoured the remnants of r/place that were scattered all throughout the web and looked for the most iconic, clever, and ridiculous ones we can find.
First of all, Among Us managed to impressively secure their own corner.
A lemon also had Among Us spots all over it (which unfortunately meant no more lemonades).

On a more wholesome note, Redditors also found love in Among Us. For example, here’s a couple of Among Us in love.

Speaking of #LoveWins, here’s an Among Us Trans flag:
As fun as r/place was, all good things must come to an end. As of April 5, 2022, r/place returned back to a blank slate after its final update wherein you can only put white pixels. However, nothing is truly gone from the internet as this article is proof that we can always revisit fun memories like this. Just remember, if you feel something sus it might just be Among Us lurking in the background.
