Uhhmmm. I’ll argue that overall reddit is a huge time sink, rather than a useful site. For reddit to be worth your time, you really need to narrow down what you are looking for (by subreddit, and than further by personal topic), otherwise you’ll waste lot of time looking at marginally interesting things and reading marginally interesting comments.
While it is dangerous as a time sink, it can be useful as a reference source, e.g. I’ve found a lot of good and clear dieting and fitness advice there, and it has the advantage of being separated from the profit motives you get on most online guides.

Skimming the topics at http://www.reddit.com/r/firstworldproblems tends to both amuse me and cause me to take my own first world problems problems less seriously.
I had to vote this up even though I spend a fair amount of time on Reddit :/.
I’ve narrowed my subreddits down, and only read it once a day, and only the top 50 articles of the past day.
