[–]everyothernametaken1 4 points5 points ago

It... it wasn't easy man. Hard times on the night shift. Hard times

[–]FakeOwlExterminator 2 points3 points ago

We're owl exterminators.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

We can take it away and see

[–]dontneedyourkarma 2 points3 points ago

Do you feel cool taking away other people's karma?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Yes

[–]Cubejam 1 point2 points ago

A whole hour! during my lunch break at work! (I work nights) Boredom level: ME!

[–]serioush 15 points16 points ago

You felt really cute?

[–]Snarwhal 1 point2 points ago

Thats not how downtime makes me feel...

[–]MalaTae 23 points24 points ago

I fell asleep refreshing it on my phone. I bet I looked adorable.

[–]tralfamadorian42 11 points12 points ago

I'm an American, but thankfully I'm in England. PHEW!

[–]Simbojimbo 21 points22 points ago

Welcome to England!

Now turn round and go back to where ya came from, Johnny Foreigner

[–]tralfamadorian42 10 points11 points ago

But... this... IS where I came from!

[–]xtfftc 7 points8 points ago

Got back home at 3AM, thought I'd spend some time on Reddit because I didn't feel like sleeping... :(

[–]wheresmyhouse 2 points3 points ago

Me too, I learned that TV still exists.

[–]idk112345 2 points3 points ago

yep me too. Was kind of drunk though so I passed out after trying to get on reddit after 5 minutes

[–]Gorau 2 points3 points ago

I had the same (+1 hour for time zone difference), thought i'd spend some time on reddit and drink some water to help prevent a hangover. It is reddits fault that i am hungover now.

[–]A_British_Gentleman 6 points7 points ago

I was the same. Checked Reddit in the morning, and was like "oh, there was downtime?"

[–]BelugaTaquito 9 points10 points ago

The most significant thing about last night's downtime for me was the fact that for at least a few minutes, Reddit and Fark were down at the same time.

I just froze in front of the computer, unsure of what to do or why I was there.

[–]runtheplacered 4 points5 points ago

Also to add to that list PirateBay and DigitalHive were both down too.

edit: actually, fuck. DigitalHive is still down.

[–]cadderly09 1 point2 points ago

runescape was down too.

[–]jakedebest 2 points3 points ago

It's odd when that happens, I can easily spend many hours of the day on reddit and facebook (think I've been on since half 12 at the moment) and I won't question what I'm doing until I've read pretty much all my subreddits I'm subscribed too and nobody is on facebook.

Back to /r/all!

[–]jake44 3 points4 points ago

So you British people are kittens? What a wonderful place London must be...

[–]lifeless2011 2 points3 points ago

I'm British and I was awake when it first went down, decided that I should go to sleep there and then.

[–]caindaddy 22 points23 points ago

As an American who experienced the horror that was The Great Reddit Downtime of June 30th 2012, I have one thing to say to you, sir.

Congratu-fucking-lations

[–]dontneedyourkarma 2 points3 points ago

It was traumatic. Last night I had nightmares of reddit being down and just never coming back. Scariest dream I've ever had.

[–]AJRiddle 1 point2 points ago

Ahh, so easy to spot newer redditors.

[–]wheresmyhouse 4 points5 points ago

[–]henkenzo 2 points3 points ago

He just keeps clapping! Help him, he is stuck!

[–]SnowDerp 3 points4 points ago

how i felt as a Dane* during the downtime :)

[–]plytvanim_the_world 3 points4 points ago

Hahaha... Jerk.

[–]snowy247 3 points4 points ago

I'm a Brit, but this is kinda how I feel all the time with out SHITTY WEATHER. ALL DAY. EVERYDAY!

[–]JordanLA 0 points1 point ago

i here you brother

[–]ridan81 4 points5 points ago

I read about Reddit downtime on Reddit.

[–]roobot 3 points4 points ago

Well, aren't you Brits just adorrrrable?!

[–]Gr0nd 2 points3 points ago

I felt the same as a Nocturnal Canadian

[–]iEatPie 2 points3 points ago

You feel cute and cuddly?

I must find more Brits!

[–]wheresmyhouse 2 points3 points ago

The internet was down last night.

[–]alanbrunsdon 2 points3 points ago

Hmm, guess that's why I didn't notice it.

[–]Snorting_Triscuits 2 points3 points ago

I was 100% certain it would be David Tennant crying in the rain.

I am disappointed.

[–]Mantazy 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, just like the rest europe.

[–]ItsAWhaleItsAvail 2 points3 points ago

You felt like a little pussy?

[–]wowanothercat 2 points3 points ago

wow another cat

[–]gigitrix 1 point2 points ago

wow another novelty

[–]mamajamerson 1 point2 points ago

This morning, my son filled me in on the downtime banana. I missed it!

[–]Jamnsteff 1 point2 points ago

You still sleep?

[–]sqrt-1loveyou 1 point2 points ago

Congratulations you slept through something.

[–]this_sort_of_thing 1 point2 points ago

I was awake at 1am or so, saw Reddit go down...used that as my cue to go sleep

[–]PattyWantsHisHatty 1 point2 points ago

On Reddit, it's always best to express yourself in cat form.

[–]Bricklyfe1017 1 point2 points ago

No one gives a FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUck

[–]sundaysmile 1 point2 points ago

That is fucking adorable.

[–]JimmyDThing 1 point2 points ago

How I feel like an American who only gets 2 days a week where I'm not cooped up in an office all day:

GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE. IT'S SUMMER FOR FUCKS SAKE.

[–]dumdeedoodah 1 point2 points ago

Dear God.

[–]some_random_noob 1 point2 points ago

dont brits feel like sleepy kittens all the time tho?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Why does everyone from across the pond say downtime instead of maintenance? I legit assumed you had some downtime in your ever so busy lifestyle of crumpets and tea. Maybe even some fish and chips chap?

[–]Tortoise_Herder 1 point2 points ago

Are British people adorable like that?

[–]1Chance 1 point2 points ago

I never understood this, your in the bathroom you should be able to play Mozart with your bowels and not apologize cause that's where your supposed to do it. Then again I enjoy showing off my bowels power.

[–]shizzler 1 point2 points ago

I feel like the only Brit that was trying to get to reddit during downtime.

[–]That_Guy25363 1 point2 points ago

That is the cutest cat I've ever seen.

[–]Pappy1193 1 point2 points ago

Not this shit again. What have you done?

[–]shproinkles 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the surprise d'awww...

[–]TheActualAWdeV 1 point2 points ago

I'm Dutch and I was awake at the time. Too damn hot for sleeping.

Ridiculously cute kitten btw.

[–]Funkit 1 point2 points ago

Clever girl..

[–]Thorhildebrand 1 point2 points ago

[–]SMUT_ADDICT 1 point2 points ago

This is more adorable then everything on r/aww

[–]virtual_tofu 1 point2 points ago

[–]Sandbox47 1 point2 points ago

Aw, you feel cuddly-wuddly-nuddly? Aw kitteh mitteh weeling cuddly wuddly? Aw ze kitteh iz cuddly wuddly.

[–]shellykidd 1 point2 points ago

Ur title went out of my mind as soon as I saw the kitten yawning. Then all I could think of was I'm going to r/aww for a while

[–]markrsteiner 1 point2 points ago

Remember the American Revolution. 1776, forever in our hearts.

[–]classy_stegasaurus -2 points-1 points ago

It was legend-I hope you have a farm because we're going to need some-dary!

[–]Mellonote -3 points-2 points ago

For you maybe. I was still up, with no reddit, and even 4chan was down! For the first time in forever, I was FORCE to go to bed. >:(

[–]Breathing_Balls 2 points3 points ago

Is your husband still making you do things you don't want to, against your will?

[–]Mellonote 1 point2 points ago

He died in a car crash.

Those things will never happen again.

[–]TuskedOdin 1 point2 points ago

~_~ not sure if troll or sorrowful truth.

[–]Mellonote 1 point2 points ago

Well considering I have no idea what you said in the first place, Id go with troll.

[–]ratpoison -2 points-1 points ago

Another amazing post from a downs-retard.
