And to think of all the people who will only leave terrible Facebook posts behind.

[–]Minyme2009 39 points40 points ago

I think the point of Timeline is to make it easier to look at your old facebook posts, and feel overwhelming amounts of shame.

[–]judog24 4 points5 points ago

I am pretty sure that Facebook is completely aware of this, otherwise there would not be a need for that seven day period they give you to publish your timeline.

I'm not sure if they still have that seven day period, I know that they did for early adopters of timeline.

[–]MgrLtCaptCmmdrBalls 1 point2 points ago

I've been on since 2005 and still don't have a timeline yet. Mostly because I'm lazy and haven't tried it, but I'm sure they'll force me into it sometime.

[–]OhTen40oZ 4 points5 points ago

Ive had timeline since the first day you were allowed to manually dev update it. I love it. Always have.

[–]HipsterSC 4 points5 points ago

Don't do it. It's confusing and horrible.

[–]MgrLtCaptCmmdrBalls 1 point2 points ago

Looks like it.

[–]Avohaj 1 point2 points ago

It's as confusing and horrible as mobile phones or computers are to many seniors who shut themself close to new stuff.

I'm not an excessive facebook user (I have no idea what you would do there all day) and the timeline is pretty fine. But mayb that's also because if I want to know what people updated I use the landing page (the one you get when you click on the facebook logo) and don't go to their individual profiles. I only do that when I want to see something they posted in the past and for that the timeline is fine.

[–]SpaceUnicorn 0 points1 point ago

I have no idea what you would do there all day

Seriously, what do people do on this website that is so great that they will spend hours a day there? All it is is uninteresting status updates, Farmville spam, and a crappy instant messenger. I usually log in, take one look around, and leave once I'm bored within a minute or two.

What's so great about Facebook, again?

[–]Avohaj 0 points1 point ago

Maybe it is the games. I instantly block any game that gets posted to me entirely. So it's basically only status updates from people or companies I care about. I like it just for that.

[–]Maverick3090 0 points1 point ago

I haven't either, one of the only one of my friends who hasn't chosen to downgrade.

[–]gbr4rmunchkin 0 points1 point ago

'this is why OP was a faggot that day'

'daddy what's a faggot'

'something we used to call gay people who had their mothers slept with often...'

[–]Lodish00[S] 8 points9 points ago

Sad isn't it?

[–]sinfulcolors 6 points7 points ago

A tragedy.

[–]noThisIsCat 60 points61 points ago

the only reason to have children

[–]WarlordFred 5 points6 points ago

I always wonder how "old" today's music will sound in 75 years.

[–]terafunker 4 points5 points ago

Well, Big Band Jazz and Swing were once cutting edge music and all the rage amongst young people; much to the chagrin of older people of course. I can only imagine our current music will have a similar fate to those.

[–]dmagee33 12 points13 points ago

Ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass

touche

[–]WarlordFred 3 points4 points ago

Buddy Holly was once the epitome of pop music.

but then he died.

[–]terafunker 1 point2 points ago

DJ AM was our Buddy Holly.

Just kidding, Buddy Holly was talented.

[–]joejeo11 -1 points0 points ago

OLD

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points ago

RIP Maurice Sendak

[–]kycube 11 points12 points ago

I like to imagine that he secretly hated both of those children.

[–]James-VZ 22 points23 points ago

"Grandpa, why are you talking like a retarded french guy in this comic??????"

[–]RepostCommenter 67 points68 points ago

And here is some content I stole from other redditors...

...I reposted it to get to the front page of reddit once.

seeing that OP didn't make this makes me unhappy

[–]pandasRAWR 8 points9 points ago

I'm unhappy as well

[–]free_dead_puppy 8 points9 points ago

Oh OP

[–]Michael_J_Fucks 2 points3 points ago

OP feels right at home

[–]twinsofliberty 1 point2 points ago

Ah, this was like the first post I upvoted when I finally settled down on Reddkt

[–]Drunk_Picard 3 points4 points ago

Hey where can I pick up my ReddKit?

[–]Komalt -1 points0 points ago

You know after a while people are going to get the same thoughts and ideas and post it. Just because it has already been posted does not mean the user stole it or reposted it. I mean I'm not talking about this specific case but in general.

[–]Kanye_Westicles 7 points8 points ago

"This one is about me getting upset when water hits my asshole while shitting."

[–]Arx0s 12 points13 points ago

This made me realize something scary. Reddit might not always be around.

[–]joe4201 10 points11 points ago

Thanks for giving me nightmares.

[–]WarlordFred 4 points5 points ago

September 29th 2030: A highly organized group of hyper-intelligent neo-labrador retrievers takes down Amazon's worldwide network of cloud servers, effectively destroying both Reddit and Imgur. No rage comics survived.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 192 points193 points ago

I'll tell my grandchildren "I used to be kind of a big deal on a fairly irrelevant social media site that falsely inflated my ego."

[–]Arx0s 85 points86 points ago

Says the guy with over half a million internet points.

[–]Apostolate 32 points33 points ago

There's still one with more.

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points ago

yeah but

Redditor since:2012-03-24 (2 months and 24 days)

that's unnatural.

[–]newtothelyte 13 points14 points ago

Are you kidding? This kid's a natural. His comment karma is great, but we need to work on his link karma. There has not been a greater commenter here since forthewolfx, but I think TIR will become a hall-of-famer. Only time will tell you

[–]WarlordFred 5 points6 points ago

woah.

Two months?

How is that possible?!

[–]Aulio 7 points8 points ago

Well he is trapped in Reddit... What else is there to do but comment?

[–]-Shirley- 7 points8 points ago

I think i may know a way to get him out, but he is probably not interested.

[–]Aulio 2 points3 points ago

Once you're trapped... I'm afraid there is no escape.. Creepy music

[–]-Shirley- 2 points3 points ago

all we need is someone who knows how to do 3d modelling, and a 3d printer.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

or....someone who can fondle his dinkly winkly love wand..

[–]spoonsandswords 11 points12 points ago

there is a list that keeps track of that?

[–]ZapCannon 18 points19 points ago

Yeah

[–]MrJuwi -1 points0 points ago

Not to mention Andrew Smith IS polite all caps guy so he has about a million total. I wouldn't be surprised if he had more novelties floating around in the ether.

[–]DaneSoul32 3 points4 points ago

He's not. They both admitted to be fooling around. It was a joke.

[–]Minyme2009 4 points5 points ago

He's getting close to the Reddit kill screen then?

[–]Lodish00[S] 4 points5 points ago

Exactly.

edit: Sarcasm not understood apparently. I have a good idea of how my grandchildren will be and I'm pretty sure they will be the talk of the town having a grandfather who made it to the front page of Reddit.

[–]Minyme2009 3 points4 points ago

I'm sure it's Reddits downvote cannon aimed at anyone even remotely referencing getting laid.

[–]McBurger 1 point2 points ago

You are OP's savior. The "I don't know why youre getting downvotes" comment instantly reverses a comment doing poorly.

[–]Minyme2009 1 point2 points ago

Just doing my job

[–]Color_Bars 0 points1 point ago

I think your name is a large part of your success, aside from the calculated comments that people eat up. TRL time. My request? Let's see the face behind the name. I'm really curious as to what the flesh and blood behind the binary perfection looks like.

[–]rustyshacklford 5 points6 points ago

The sad thing is, I like it. - Maurice Sendak

[–]bigs1 5 points6 points ago

The kids are wondering what a scrap book is, and why grandpa is holding a big paper thing, and why nothing on the pages move

[–]WarlordFred 1 point2 points ago

They do move, you just can't see it because you're not looking at the book.

The next page features Rick Astley's famous music video, "Never Gonna Give You Up".

What the kids are really wondering is why they're wearing period garments from 75 years ago.

[–]helicoid 5 points6 points ago

At first glance I thought the grandson had a nice big downvote on his shirt.

[–]flamingiceriver 2 points3 points ago

Reddit? What was that grandpa.

[–]dick_sweat 7 points8 points ago

who the hell scrapbooks anymore

[–]Apostolate 11 points12 points ago

Everyone who uses pinterest.

[–]CATERPILLARS 4 points5 points ago

Haha, rage comic, front page. Funny stuff.

[–]pseudalithia 1 point2 points ago

It is interesting to think about such things, isn't it?

[–]idma 1 point2 points ago

Honestly, making the frontpage would be one of the proudest moments I've ever had.

[–]demosthenocke 1 point2 points ago

What's that he's holding? You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!

[–]00fordmc 1 point2 points ago

You should not have kids. FSM help us all.

[–]MasterSprtn117 2 points3 points ago

At times like these I think, our generation kind of sucks.

[–]Ninjasantaclause 0 points1 point ago

I've always wondered what will happen when children of the information age becone seniors

[–]scout-finch 0 points1 point ago

This just absolutely cracked me up.

[–]bendyplywood 0 points1 point ago

I have a newspaper clip stored away that was on the front page once. I'm this guy.

[–]bestbiff 0 points1 point ago

Hopefully the asteroid kills us all before this stuff happens. The future is just going to be too embarrassing the way we're going now.

[–]That_One_Asian_Kid 0 points1 point ago

Like i'll make it to the front page by the time I have grandchildren.

[–]Billsfan 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty weird to think about that our grandparents left physical memories but when we have grandchildren all of our stories will b told bout computers...I'm not sure bout the rest of u but I hope all that porn don't catch up wit me!

[–]Pandabarrel 0 points1 point ago

And then they will repost that rage comic for karma.

[–]GiggleAtTheGoatse 0 points1 point ago

Repost.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Exactly! Do redditors have no memory beyond a month?!

[–]yzatabballer12 0 points1 point ago

It'll be this one.

[–]palookaboy 0 points1 point ago

"WTF is reddit?" - grandchildren

[–]jonasshoop 0 points1 point ago

"It was a website on the Internet! "

"What's an Internet grandpa?"

[–]toss_reply 0 points1 point ago

Lol, this is like the homesteader of the month and year awards that I had earned back when Geocities was still fairly awesome.

[–]kookoo831 0 points1 point ago

It's funny because it's on the front page.

[–]ChasingShad0ws 0 points1 point ago

Lads, I think it's time to tell him Redditors don't make offsprings!

[–]joaniesteelie 0 points1 point ago

And then your grandchildren will take a picture of that scrapbooked rage comic with you holding it up and then post it to reddit to whore your old ass out for karma.

[–]Alpacallama 0 points1 point ago

When i have children/grandchildren i will say one thing, if you watch porn, delete your history after you finish.

[–]lolmastergeneral 1 point2 points ago

Ctrl + Shift + N

[–]Pantoush 0 points1 point ago

"... and yes, it was a repost."

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Yep!

[–]jbippy1 0 points1 point ago

"Silly Grandpa, I saw that one two days ago..." "Well that's a fucking repost darling."

[–]tomakeredditsuckless 0 points1 point ago

I can see the posts now.... "Look at what my granddad got to the front page of Reddit 60 years ago"

[–]trackrunner22 0 points1 point ago

Grandpa, what's Reddit?

[–]Meaninglesskarma 0 points1 point ago

I told my whole family when I made it to the front page. Seriously.

[–]cow_goes_moo 0 points1 point ago

Is that Maurice Sendak? If so, rest in peace you glorious, crotchety old bastard you.

[–]ultitaria 0 points1 point ago

Books?

[–]CinciJ 0 points1 point ago

ill put this in a scrapbook and show it to my grandchildren. and tell them the tale of how this ("the little post that could") made it to the frontpage fifty bajillion times.

[–]starkravingmad_91 0 points1 point ago

This is a repost. How do I know? It was the first image I ever saw on Reddit. Ever.

[–]HydraHam 0 points1 point ago

In which the kid replies "Reddit? Whats Reddit, pappy? is it like 9gag?"

[–]accio_burrito 0 points1 point ago

kid1: grandpa? we kinda dont care.

kid2: Nobody cared. Ever.

kid1: you suck, gramps.

[–]remo_gaggi 0 points1 point ago

The products of this era lack permanence.

[–]Kid_Parkinson 0 points1 point ago

I feel really sad that I will never be able to say this to my grandchildren.

[–]thortawar 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of this xkcd comic: http://xkcd.com/512/

[–]php4me 0 points1 point ago

"Grandpa, what's a reddit?"

[–]btech1138 0 points1 point ago

Hey this is MY pic that I made!

Hmmph!

[–]awkward-handjob 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, it is like the third rule for this sub-reddit; "No reposts, if you didn't make it, don't post it.", And yet, here we are again.

[–]kuadhual 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who read that with Sean Connery's voice?

[–]ginja_ninja 0 points1 point ago

No matter how much worse my life gets, I will always have Toastradamus.

[–]lunaticsb 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, this will be the child's response... "What's Reddit?"

[–]Ibaara 0 points1 point ago

AND HERE IS A REPOST

[–]Ibaara 1 point2 points ago

Then you punch the children and tell them God isn't real.

[–]andified 0 points1 point ago

Haha

[–]adriankuno -1 points0 points ago

sounds like what a 9gagger would do.

[–]Jesus4LifeYOLO -3 points-2 points ago

Wth, You should lyke, teach ur kidz about our Savior and Lord! Not stupid things lyke a comic. Ur so Stoopid. I bet ur a nigger, cuz they're stupid.
