And at the very moment you posted this it was both the oldest and the newest post to Reddit!

[–]AEIOU_occasionallyY 84 points85 points ago

Years worth of facts, discoveries, discussions, and events were, for a moment, sandwiched between a picture of a parakeet making pasta.

[–]baka4191 311 points312 points ago

woah...

[–]Carter52 462 points463 points ago

[–]c00ki3mnstr 15 points16 points ago

This is actually the second time it was both the oldest and newest post to Reddit, too!

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it... the Nth time, where N = 1+(# of Reposts).

Only when they made the secret Italian supercat.

[–]JCXtreme 10 points11 points ago

93% fail

What did they choose!?

[–]UnspeakableEvil 7 points8 points ago

The only acceptable answer when looking at a supercat is to run.

[–]rhennigan 7 points8 points ago

The image is real. The Italian Supercat however, is not.

[–]randoguy101 0 points1 point ago

that's probably it actually

[–]Nebulaoblivion 1 point2 points ago

I feel like it would be hard to keep a cat like that secret.

/r/AnimalsWithoutNecks

Took me a while to realize they are removing letter from words on purpose. You know, to similute words without "necks".

Edit: And its mostly vowels omitted.

[–]HigherFive 15 points16 points ago

Sidebar:

Please keep vowels out of post titles, as vowels are the necks of words.

[–]Nero920 4 points5 points ago

Makes sense... kind of... not really. But I'll go with it.

[–]Lor_Enzo 0 points1 point ago

this exists. honestly, reddit never ceases to amaze me.

[–]idunno123 0 points1 point ago

... Sometimes I see a purple link, and can't figure out why I've been somewhere... This is one of those times.

[–]ObliviousAmbiguity 12 points13 points ago

I don't like seeing pictures of birds without arms anymore.

[–]White_Luigi 1 point2 points ago

Then stay away from /r/birdpics, which is where I thought we were until I saw your comment.

[–]Anindoorcat 0 points1 point ago

though I am curious as to why birds with arms are always ripped 0_o

[–]MotherGinger 4 points5 points ago

My birdswitharms attempts are bad and I should feel bad. I know.

/r/shittybirdswitharms might appreciate your work.

[–]neoflame 8 points9 points ago

[–]ikma 381 points382 points ago

Someone chose to spend at least several hours of their life building a tiny kitchen for a parrot, before internet points really even existed. They just wanted to do it for fun.

People are weird.

[–]WannabeGroundhog 133 points134 points ago

Could be a normal doll-house.

[–]ikma 379 points380 points ago

no that clearly was custom built for the parrot; you can tell because i will never admit that i'm wrong on the internet.

[–]WannabeGroundhog 62 points63 points ago

Counter-argument pointing out how oblivious you are, ended with insult to intelligence

[–]prettybunnys 40 points41 points ago

insert pun here

[–]Siparih 29 points30 points ago

Insert relevant pun only slightly more obnoxious and cheesy than the previous one.

[–]prettybunnys 37 points38 points ago

attempt to get back on the karma train.

DERAILED

[–]Siparih 21 points22 points ago

Witty comment regarding abandon thread. Possibly with a .gif attached.

[–]teymon 10 points11 points ago

Pointing out a typo in your post.

[–]Siparih 6 points7 points ago

Full on CAPS LOCK rage and insultings of your matrilineal heritage aswell as intelligence followed up by pathetic whimpering.

[–]Shtruntz 1 point2 points ago

Is this r/circlejerk?

[–]PurdyCrafty 1 point2 points ago

insert comment with typical affirmation of laughter and acceptance, otherwise known as an "LoL"

EDIT: Insert future comment about how many downvotes have been received.

[–]PUN_TRAIN_CONDUCTOR 1 point2 points ago

Insert something a train conductor might say in reference to a derailment.

[–]ecklcakes 2 points3 points ago

Post "Parrot." or something equally unsubtle relating to the puns.

[–]lacrease 2 points3 points ago

Well you can't argue with that logic. Thread's over, folks.

[–]DorkKnight27 1 point2 points ago

Some people juggle geese!

[–]DryApplejohn 2 points3 points ago

It was done using powder, water and a microwave. Not that complicated if you follow the instructions

[–]adammcbomb 1 point2 points ago

This would be a good point, if internet points existed.

[–]lidster 2 points3 points ago

How do you know that's not just a very large parrot?

[–]_wordsmiff 1 point2 points ago

If you build it, they will karm.

[–]RonaldFuckingPaul 1 point2 points ago

Internet points never mattered, just being seen. The motiviation has always been the same.

[–]SpelingTroll 1 point2 points ago

Somewhere in the wide world there's someone who spent the last 30 years studying snails.

[–]lieabeautifullife 1 point2 points ago

It's actually a budgerigar...

[–]White_Luigi 4 points5 points ago

Budgies are parrots.

[–]zenny2972 2 points3 points ago

I learned what Budgerigars are by reading Harry Potter, in 'Merca we call em parakeets

[–]White_Luigi 3 points4 points ago

I'm a 'Mercan and I grew up for a while thinking that budgies and parakeets were two different things, until like 4th grade.

[–]Madock345 5 points6 points ago

I'm a 'murican, and TIL that budgies and parakeets are the same thing.

[–]columbusplusone 1 point2 points ago

I'm a 'murican, and TIL budgies are a thing.

[–]eye_kahn 0 points1 point ago

I'm a 'murican, and TIL that other countries are a thing.

Wow, that is a very realistic parrot costume.

Knees weak, arms are torchietti.

[–]synnndstalker 10 points11 points ago

[–]AaronPossum 15 points16 points ago

[–]direhit 15 points16 points ago

[–]Confused_Alien 17 points18 points ago

June of 2005. Holy shit. I was still a Republican and still had a full head of hair back then.

[–]MrConfucius 14 points15 points ago

Must mean being liberal makes you bald.

[–]Confused_Alien 1 point2 points ago

Nah, I started losing it while I was still a Republican and just about to transition into a Libertarian (which I also no longer am).

[–]The51stState 7 points8 points ago

Make up your mind Mitt!

[–]Confused_Alien 1 point2 points ago

I can't help it! Every time a hair follicle gets attacked, I change my religion!

[–]spitfire8125 2 points3 points ago

Libertarianism only causes baldness if there is enough of a demand for baldness in the free market.

[–]Bluemoon_333 2 points3 points ago

You mean before you became an alien?

[–]aml5153 3 points4 points ago

The OP, kn0thing, is still active on reddit too. Dedication.

Edit: Apparently he's one of the founder of reddit. I was unaware; thanks for the info guys.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 5 points6 points ago

That's one of the founders of reddit.

[–]MrConfucius 4 points5 points ago

Alright, I'm asking. What the hell is with the blue reddit alien on your name.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 7 points8 points ago

What alien?

[–]MrConfucius 4 points5 points ago

I... It... You...

I'm sure everyone else sees...

Nevermind... The pills are acting up.

[–]matt01ss 2 points3 points ago

I'm curious about what delhiting is ?

[–]MrConfucius 1 point2 points ago

Shhh don't ask, he might show you.

Go back to bed, young matt01ss, it was just a dream...

[–]matt01ss 1 point2 points ago

ZZZzzzz

[–]Buffalonian 5 points6 points ago

He's a moderator. He does what he wants.

[–]MrConfucius 5 points6 points ago

Good enough answer to me.

[–]GuitarFreak027 12 points13 points ago

Well, he is a co-founder of reddit.

[–]BaZing3 1 point2 points ago

It's alright; people were confused 3 years ago, too.

[–]Zak 1 point2 points ago

Actually, those funny looking alphanumeric strings you see in reddit URLs are base-36 numbers. What you linked there is probably the 295th thing posted to the reddit database that went in to production. Presumably, all the tests prior to that were removed before the site went live.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 -1 points0 points ago

Probably. I got this one off a reddit search for "Downing Street" after a newspaper article said alex posted the downing street memo as the first post on reddit.

Why base 36 though?

EDIT: Wow, buzz aldrin to knothings armstrong.

[–]Zak 2 points3 points ago

It's the highest base that can be represented using 0-9 and a-z.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 -1 points0 points ago

That seems quite obvious now that I think about it.

[–]RonaldFuckingPaul 1 point2 points ago

I was pretty sure you were wrong as reddit used to be informed discussion about serious topics.

[–]CannibalisticZebra87[S] 0 points1 point ago

Correct you are my friend but after some research I figured out that this was the very first picture and or non-serious post.

[–]HeWasAZombie 1 point2 points ago

Thus setting the standard.

[–]EmperorG -2 points-1 points ago

This was the first post? Hmmmm Needs more Pasta....

[–]Regrssion -1 points0 points ago

seems about right

[–]jalisama 1 point2 points ago

That is surprisingly all-ages safe and really cute. I'm biased; I like budgies. :)

[–]Shamwow22 1 point2 points ago

Maybe someone here can confirm or deny this, but I remember hearing that Reddit didn't allow you to comment on posts. When they introduced that feature, the FIRST post was someone complaining that Reddit was going downhill because of it.

[–]tignetan 1 point2 points ago

For all this time I thought the first post said "TEST PLEASE IGNORE"

[–]flavorizante 0 points1 point ago

Well, that escalated quickly.

[–]mentoskid4 -1 points0 points ago

[–]GillStipe 0 points1 point ago

That is a GIANT box of pasta!

[–]ginjah_ninjah -1 points0 points ago

I once got downvoted because I complained about the scale of the pasta container compared to the parakeet.
