No he didn't. This is old.

[–]LadyLaFee 417 points418 points ago

As indicated via Internet Explorer and the AOL tab.

[–]wildly_curious_1 186 points187 points ago

It's IE8. Compatibility View (the little broken page icon on the toolbar) wasn't introduced until 2009 with IE8. So it may not be that old.

[–]Dreamtrain 295 points296 points ago

Its old in Internet years

[–]wrong_assumption 104 points105 points ago

Ancient.

[–]Mr_Dr_Prof_Derp 135 points136 points ago

It's like the dinosaurs, IE8 was only put there to test our faith in Chrome.

[–]DrVoodoo 59 points60 points ago

Dial-up never existed. Everything was always Google Fiber, and there was never any evolution to reach it.

[–]Dreamtrain 15 points16 points ago

When carries seem to unexplainably switch from unlimited data to charge you per GB, it just means they have a special (data) plan meant for you.

[–]achievable_chode44 46 points47 points ago

I saw IE8 on a floppy disk being appraised on Antique Roadshow last night.

[–]smififty 20 points21 points ago

I found one searching the bowels of a pyramid.

[–]JasonGD1982 19 points20 points ago

I found one searching my Bowels.

[–]smififty 0 points1 point ago

Are you Jimmy R Pyramid?

[–]IndieGamerRid 8 points9 points ago

Aliens.

[–]i_dont_know 43 points44 points ago

That is IE9. IE9 introduced tabs next to the address bar, and also supports compatibility mode.

[–]jimmysgotjive 10 points11 points ago

As a non-internet explorer user, I cannot verify this.

[–]ITTVx 20 points21 points ago

Yes, Compatibility View was introduced in IE8, but it's also a feature that's present in IE9 and 10. Not to be snarky or anything, but the tabs next to the address bar are a clear indication that the browser is IE9.

[–]Garby 0 points1 point ago

That's IE9 sir, note the "flat" appearance of the tabs and the sharp rounded edges of the tabs; ie8 and 7 have rounded edges on the tabs.

[–]frofrodajimmyboy 2 points3 points ago

He said his friend is applying to school, so unless the dude has been actively trying for three years, it is THAT old.

[–]Chief_H 17 points18 points ago

Here is another Reddit post if this exact same thing. The comments pointed out that it was even old then. Not saying the OP is lying, but I'm sure this easter egg is common knowledge to anyone from NAU or applying there.

[–]ValiantTurtle19 37 points38 points ago

Once Again, I am unsurprised to find that op is indeed, faggot.

[–]AdmiralSkippy 4 points5 points ago

Technically he never said he created it, he said he came across it. And let's face it, he's applying online so he's going to be fucking around for a few hours instead of spending the ten minutes to simply apply.

[–]C-4 22 points23 points ago

[–]epicbot229 25 points26 points ago

...you're adopted.

[–]sketchy_coffee_cup 174 points175 points ago

Advice: change the answer to, "I seek the Grail" Sir Lancelot is less quoted...

[–]YesItsthatbig 227 points228 points ago

Sir Gallahad, actually

[–]sketchy_coffee_cup 102 points103 points ago

shit, you're right... my mistake

[–]lmxbftw 82 points83 points ago

Your nerd self-image is in critical condition. I prescribe 2 hours of flying circus followed by integrating by parts. You're going to make it, son.

[–]subduedLion 26 points27 points ago

integrating by parts

That reminds me, I have a calculus test I should be studying for.

Oh, well..[sips coffee]

[–]angryson808 22 points23 points ago

no, don't drink tha-! ...you just molested sketchy_coffee_cup

[–]sketchy_coffee_cup 2 points3 points ago

Oh, I don't mind.....

[–]rapscal_2002 4 points5 points ago

Well fuck... I had forgotten about mine. Thanks for ruining my sweet bliss

[–]kaiden333 10 points11 points ago

Sir Gadabout is even less quoted.

[–]TalekAetem 14 points15 points ago

What about Sir Not Appearing In this Movie?

[–]sirknitram 121 points122 points ago

good ole Flagstaff, the hometown.

[–]Old_Scratch1 17 points18 points ago

My first thought when I hear the words Flagstaff are always Randall Flagg. Lovely city, unfortunate association haha.

[–]powerwave 5 points6 points ago

I think about Turtle meeting a hottie flying in from Flagstaff :D

[–]vminnocci12 90 points91 points ago

Mr. Sunshine. Quality teacher.

[–]PlasticSky 21 points22 points ago

He had a radiant style of teaching.

[–]effse7en 16 points17 points ago

and such a sunny disposition

[–]Jay29688 16 points17 points ago

And a beaming smile.

[–]The-Dragonborn 16 points17 points ago

And flaring herpes.

[–]MikeyXL 1 point2 points ago

...which he picked up after a few too many Coronas.

[–]klown_13 0 points1 point ago

Solar Bears? Sun Puns? Fuck.. I got nothin'.

[–]Fistopher_Robbin[S] 7 points8 points ago

He really was. Ironically Mr. Sunshine had a very dark and cynical sense of humor.

[–]LtZedKilla 52 points53 points ago

That cold, calculating bastard Mr. Sunshine.

[–]HipsterSC 19 points20 points ago

I suddenly feel like someone needs to make this a skit.

[–]misledmedia 66 points67 points ago

Go Jacks!

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 6 points7 points ago

Go go go!

[–]L4cer8 23 points24 points ago

My biggest regret was going to ASU. Flagstaff, I pine for thee.

[–]mollieee 6 points7 points ago

I regret being a devil almost every day...

[–]I-Am-Chaos 3 points4 points ago

should have become a wildcat.

[–]redmachined 4 points5 points ago

Sun Devil Pride, beeyotch.

Although pining for the #2 college in the state isn't so bad. Better than Universidad de Sonora Norte.

[–]NerdieHarlot 3 points4 points ago

Hey now, we don't appreciate that from the state community college.

[–]Dolentrean 24 points25 points ago

Hey, I graduated from that school! I feel important for no adequately explored reason.

[–]mellooo 30 points31 points ago

[–]E_lucas 56 points57 points ago

[–]AaronPetykowski 26 points27 points ago

You must apply for college a lot!

[–]D3m3N 10 points11 points ago

Oh NAU...

[–]teegle1 20 points21 points ago

Stands for Not A University, right?

[–]hiphop38 10 points11 points ago

oh man, love NAU, used to live in Flag. I miss that city

[–]totallynotsquidward 48 points49 points ago

Why? I just don't get it. Why do people post popular images from a few years ago and claim personal connection to them???

[–]Eurynom0s 10 points11 points ago

Why do people lie about anything?

[–]totallynotsquidward 5 points6 points ago

Personal gain. Sex. Personal gain through sex.

[–]Charlesm313131 1 point2 points ago

[–]KennyFuckingPowers 3 points4 points ago

You really think someone would do that?

[–]peruvian_lumberjack 8 points9 points ago

Yay. My school is near the front page!

[–]rgundran87 10 points11 points ago

NAU, such a nice place.

Source: I live here

[–]footballGuy 20 points21 points ago

When I was applying to NAU last year, I didn't even finish the application and NAU accepted me.

[–]Novak13 13 points14 points ago

I had a friend who went to NAU for one semester and failed all his classes. Then he applied to ASU and got in with a 0.0 GPA

[–]bythefireside27 8 points9 points ago

ASU has zero standards. Education is the worst in AZ (ok,ok, we're 48th, but close enough), but if you have to go to university here I'd go with U of A.

[–]sucksbro 0 points1 point ago

U of A student here...I agree. ASU is just straight up an embarrassing school and NAU has its area of expertise.

[–]kaimason1 1 point2 points ago

Have a friend who knows someone working in the ASU admissions office. Apparently he asks people the following when they ask if they can get in: "Do you have a pulse?" "Uh, yes?" "Then you're in."

No wonder it's got the biggest campus in the country.

[–]theguywithacomputer 167 points168 points ago

WHY are you using internet explorer?

[–]gddc33 91 points92 points ago

Better question is why he didn't take a screenshot.

[–]kejeros 52 points53 points ago

AOL is open in the other tab. I think someone needs to be smacked into the current decade.

[–]smurfetteshat 28 points29 points ago

instead of stealing posts off people's facebook, OPs of reddit are now resorting to lifting the content of people's geocities pages

[–]Afirejar 20 points21 points ago

Internet archeology.

[–]sangriadvx 31 points32 points ago

Because this image has to be 4 years old. I remember seeing it when I was applying for college.

[–]v0x 5 points6 points ago

Nah. AOL changed its logo less than three years ago, and you can see the new logo in the tab.

[–]SouthTexasTitan 7 points8 points ago

You're better off using coconuts

[–]BJUmholtz 7 points8 points ago

IE is great. I use it exclusively.

[–]SeaOfScrolls 2 points3 points ago

Guys, have you even read the guide to reddiquette? Downvoting opinions is kinda piss-poor of you guys.

[–]I_TYPE_IN_ALL_CAPS 6 points7 points ago

REDDIQUETTE DIED AROUND THE TIME OF THE BIG DIGG MIGRATION OF 2010.

[–]strebalicious 2 points3 points ago

Because for whatever reason, some websites I go only like IE. Luckily, I only have to go to them maybe once a year.

[–]jhertz14 36 points37 points ago

I go to NAU! So many reddit worthy flyers around campus...

[–]holycrapisingopera 13 points14 points ago

I went there too! Not used to seeing little old flagstaff on the exciting world of reddit!

[–]bruce_dedeuce 7 points8 points ago

I went to NAU for some of my undergrad and boy do I miss Flagstaff. I'm really thinking about doing my doctorate there.

[–]joker_hs 18 points19 points ago

Nothing here at ASU :(

[–]anal-razor 20 points21 points ago

there was some guy yelling about fags and hell today outside the MU.

[–]Athaene 14 points15 points ago

UofA here, saw him around here last week yelling something about "all you homo's homoing and all you lesbo's lesboing!"

[–]anal-razor 4 points5 points ago

what wonderful examples of the correct usage of the English language.

[–]Bromidrosis 7 points8 points ago

Ugh, that guy is back again?

[–]BurritoMedici 9 points10 points ago

That's why you go to UofA. Got a whole Reddit themed dorm floor.

[–]Schroedingers_gif 35 points36 points ago

That sounds like the worst place ever.

[–]redmachined 2 points3 points ago

Well, that explains the dearth of absolute garbage on reddit then.

[–]drofenaz 0 points1 point ago

[–]Redheadlara 7 points8 points ago

Omg, I work for NAU! I never knew we were this cool. I'm sharing with all of my colleagues. I guarantee you this tab is current.

[–]iGiveWomenOrgasms_jk 12 points13 points ago

Internet explorer, aol, no screenshot. Oh my.

edit: reference to wizard of oz was unintentional.

[–]Xeqt 4 points5 points ago

I go to that school :D I work for that department, fuckers won't lift that restriction.

[–]tubbo 1 point2 points ago

Even if it was on modern browsers, the fact that someone was paid a day's work to code this validation means your "friend" isn't very creative, because there are probably so many people with the same damn security question that you'd have a good chance of hacking accounts simply by trying different emails with that security question.
