SIR,

I am of the opinion that there have been PREVIOUS ITERATIONS of this image in this publication. Furthermore I label you a NE'ER-DO-WELL and a HARLOT FOR KARMAIC POINTS.

Yours, The Hon. Keyserchief, Esq.

There's an all-caps white caption at the bottom. This may just be the world's first meme.

Determined or not, that cat is long dead.

Waiting for the image to load, I thought "Please be an old-timey kitty. Please be an old-timey kitty."

Post did not disappoint.

Words cannot describe how idiotic I felt at being amazed that reddit was around in 1900 -___-

This is fake. I'm pretty certain the internet wasn't invented until at least 1920.

Punkwasher · 8 months

This might come as a shock to some people, but cats have been popular for like 10,000 years.

gburnaman · 8 months

I really had no idea what everyone meant when they talked about reddits love for cats until I started using reddit on my Android. Then I remembered r/aww because it's a default r/.

Westykins · 8 months

Someone that's not lazy should make a "what reddit was like in the 1900s" and create a makeshift front page :P

CherryVimto · 8 months

There would be a card you could pick up from your local post office. It had a tick box for 'Up' and another for 'Down' with a space underneath to describe what you were voting on.

Now the important thing was I had an onion on my belt...

RodneyDangerfuck · 8 months

This is the creepiest thing I've seen on the internet in awhile... and I don't exactly know why? Perhaps the age and it's similarity to now... either way, I got the shibby jibbies
