It is currently 3 months since the EA comment, so people are starting to post it, but the sub will now require a waiting time of 6 months before posts are allowed. This is to ensure posts are not altered in any way, as 6 months is the time it takes for a post to become archived, meaning you cannot vote or comment on it. This subreddit is a museum, and you don't get to touch museum exhibits. Observation is what we are here for.

Have a nice day

Top posts for a time, the Reddit Digg comics immortalizes the migration from, and downfall of Digg. Since its first post of part 1 in 2009, the comics went on to be some of the most famous posts for years. They have now gone into distant memory, with part 2/3 being deleted and unavailable in the archives. Posts for Part 1 and Part 3 as well as the actual comics of Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 can still be seen in the deep places of the web. The great war will inevitably be forgotten, but not today.

Original post by /u/lordtuts, promising to tattoo the next day's top post on his ass

The users battled it out, competing to get to the top of the front page of /r/me_irl.

An example post:

"The bee movie script but it gets tattooed on /u/lordtuts ass"

Then, this happened...

/u/lordtuts refuses to deliver

Mods respond in anger:

/u/Ughable: "You're a no-good scam artist. You told us you'd put a meme on a butt, but you've only put your butt into our memes."

/u/andreaplanbee: "banned"

Other users' responses:

/u/typical__throwaway: "I think you just ruined your reddit life, people will downvote everything you post."

/u/fuckiforgotmyaccount: "It was you who was bamboozled! We all acted enthused so you would actually consider it!"

/u/TheStrawberryRodeo: "It may have been fake internet points, but the trust was real"

Later, /u/lordtuts got taken to /r/KarmaCourt. The post became the subreddit's top post of all time.

In September 09, a reddit user known as /u/SpontaneousH made a post in /r/iama about his first use of heroin. He snorted some and thought it was great, but was going to avoid doing it again to avoid becoming addicted. Within a fortnight, he was addicted and injecting. Within a month, he'd been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, due to overdosing on fentanyl (basically super heroin), diphenhydramine (antihistamines), pregbalin (epilepsy medication), temazepam (a psychoactive), and oxymorphone (another opioid), and required several doses of Narcan (an anti opioid) to be revived. Two days later, he was off to rehab. During the year that he spent posting these updates, they mostly flew under the radar, and most everyone who actually saw them forgot about them, until 7 years later, he dropped in with another update to say he's been clean for almost 6 years, and that his life is going well.
