The reign of terror for /u/anthropology_nerd and /u/davidaop is coming to a close, and it is time to crown their successors for best posts of the previous month.
This thread is, as before, seeded using answers previously highlighted in venues such as Twitter, BestOf, DepthHub, and of course, our Sunday Digest, with input from the mods, the flairs, and the user base itself. The field is by no means limited to what we list here though, so feel free to nominate other answers you feel deserving.
To talk about this generally, please keep responses confined to this post. Top level responses which are not nominated answers will be removed.
Edit: Yes, it should be Best of June for the title. I'm just an idiot. Ignore that.
