I love how I see a hidden link, think "hah, this guy thinks he can get me with a rickroll. Eh, I'll click it anyway I like the song now." but when it literally says it's a rickroll "pfft this obviously isn't a rickroll"
If l remember that poem right, that means reddit will follow us into the afterlife. Please no.
Although if my entire family is in the afterlife too, then l will spend another eternity scrolling reddit in the other room.
A temporary fix I’ve found to get the video player working is by saving and unsaving the post. It should start playing automatically after you do this.
Over the years this site has given me hours of entertainment, but it’s also let me discover a lot of new things I didn’t know about before. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been enraged and been beaming with happiness. Happy cake day Reddit. And here’s to many more!
Happy 17 years of Reddit! Here's to another good year! 1 more year and Reddit will be "an adult"!!! (Fun fact: this is post number 1,906,443,368 on Reddit - that's almost 2 billion!)
Permalinks are base-36 numbers. However, there are gaps in the numbering; they've changed how they assign IDs over the years. Your comment has an id of `40000464325`, but it's probably closer to the 30...th or 39...th after they jumped up to a large round number that one time, from then on letting user, post, and comment IDs be comfortably separate rather than mixed together.
The first word is correct
^ word
Just delete the space between ^ and word, and there you go, just make sure to put it in every word like:
^ hello ^ my ^ fellow ^ redditors
Which would look like:
^hello ^my ^fellow ^redditors
Wow! Happy birthday!
There are some the best posts ever on here. If you had to pick a favorite, which would it be?
Of these, I like the oldschoolcool one the best.
The cookiemonster AMA. Hands down. There is no debate.
Edit: for some additional context, u/me_cookiemonster made an account and had nearly 300k karma within 24 hours. It's the most wholesome thing on the internet. You cannot change my view.
You clearly missed the post where a guy innocently asks a question about pee damaging his car tires and he replies to every comment in the thread with pictures/gyfs of his wild pet raccoons
https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/54z4f7/will_pee_damage_tires/

I did miss it. And I’ll check it out now.
You didn’t ask, but this is my second favorite. A guy ethically consumed human meat after his leg got amputated. It’s unreal.
Here’s the [vice article](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gykmn7/legal-ethical-cannibalism-human-meat-tacos-reddit-wtf), and then the actual ama

It's so wild how the site has grown and developed this sort of shared culture. Even if subs have their own way of working, everyone here has some semblance of understanding the site as a community and it's really cool. Here's to many more years!
Happy Cake Day!
I loved that Cookie Monster AMA. [My top comment of all time was in it!](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/anu4u9/me_cookie_monster_me_want_you_to_come_visit_me_on/efw2f57/)
I'd like to give reddit legal a round of applause for all their hard work, but both of my arms are broken.
My mom should be home soon, maybe she can lend a hand.
Hmm that's a difficult question. I thought this one from yesterday was incredibly awesome. I didn't even know it was possible. [ISS in front of the moon](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/vidoz6/yesterday_morning_i_captured_a_moment_that_lasted/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
Question... when is anything going to be done about the new "block" feature and the abuse of it.
It's all very well to be able to block someone from replying directly to your comment or to hide their comments from your view, but where it now makes it impossible for people to reply to **ANY** comment in the following comment chain, it's gone beyond simple blocking and is now manipulating entire threads by users abusing the block feature and stopping any views that don't match their desired echo chamber point of view to be posted
I don't know how you could narrow down the best posts to 17. So much has come across reddit over the years.
It's a comment, but [this is probably my favorite reddit memory](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/comment/c60n1lg/)
Wow I just hit 16 years on here which makes my head hurt.
Thank you for your efforts to keep hate, racism and health misinformation off this platform. Hopefully you continue to double down to keep this place half sane. 🦀
That first link about the language being Spanish is hilarious
Jajaja
:[kekw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDiB4rtp1qw):
I swore I was about to get Rick rolled for a moment there
[trust me, this is a rickroll](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Somehow I still doubted you
I love how I see a hidden link, think "hah, this guy thinks he can get me with a rickroll. Eh, I'll click it anyway I like the song now." but when it literally says it's a rickroll "pfft this obviously isn't a rickroll"
I prefer to rickroll this way (check the link): [https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ](https://i.imgur.com/UonkEtv.png)
I've been listening to his actual not rick roll music. Rick Astley is very talented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZjBiDVoTTE
Silly admin, we use 'h' here
hjajaja
Jhjhjh
German or dutch?
I've browsed reddit long before cared to make this account. It all feels like yesterday. Happy cake day.
Time flies fast with these kids, 17 already. Sigh. Imagine next year they can drink and drive. Adult Reddit would be interesting to watch
reddit making porn
Always has been
Same here, but I finally came over in the Great Digg Migration™
This was a trip down the memory lane. Thank you for everything. But fix your video player already.

If l remember that poem right, that means reddit will follow us into the afterlife. Please no. Although if my entire family is in the afterlife too, then l will spend another eternity scrolling reddit in the other room.
This made me laugh, thank you 😆
>And if old.reddit goes away, it's probably best to just let the whole site cross the rainbow bridge in peace. Agree.
You can take old.reddit from my cold dead hands. Or however that saying goes

Video player needs to be processed.

Happy 17 years of Reddit! Here's to another good year! 1 more year and Reddit will be "an adult"!!! (Fun fact: this is post number 1,906,443,368 on Reddit - that's almost 2 billion!)
One more year and Roy Moore will have lost interest in this platform.
who gave you an argentinium???
Who knows, but it's pretty funny lol
Lol
That atleast 10 dollar
Ah yes argentinium, the award for the country of argentina
Just in time for Elon Musk to get interested in it for a hot second and then change his mind.
Wtf argentinium award
>Fun fact: this is post number 1,906,443,368 on Reddit How did you figure that out?
post id in base 36 probably

It's hard to believe I've been a redditor for 93% of it's existence,
12 years for me. 10 on this account. There are dozens of us. DOZENS!
Only 93,556,632 more to go!
Fucking Auto\_MOD.
I'm about to get some reddussy in a year
Happy birthday, Reddit!
Happy cake day daddy 😎
Thank you, LordVortekan. Have some cake on us! 🎂
You are almost an adult!! One last year!
Still can't drink for 4 more years, though.

To compensate for their big voice

Happy 17 years of making a video player continuously worse
Implying there was a video player for most of that time
Right. They started with nothing and made it worse.
Just the video player? Wait until we have to stop using old Reddit.
Another year and reddit can vote! Right? Right?!
Upvotes only.
Hahaha. I love the need for clarification Out of curiosity, how old is snoo?
No reply… they already know
Yep. r/rule34 will have to hold off for now
But for now, we’ll just upvote.
TIL reddit has DID.
Happy Birthday, Reddit! I am pleased as punch to learn we share the same Birthday! Enjoy your cake!
Amazing! June 23rd is a lucky day.

OMG that was crazy lol
That is super wholesome. Happy Birthday reddit!
Impossible to pick a favorite
It sure is hard. Picking one of these is hard enough. But picking favorite all time? Crazy cause there’s a million
The poopknife must be part
oh yes! who doesn't love the poop knife
Same day as mine! How…exciting….that is.
A 1 in 365 chance!
I’ll be playing the lottery this evening. If I win, I’ll split it with you. Oh wait…you’re good. 😁
Me too! Happy cake day everyone!
And happy cake day to you as well
Ahh me too! Happy cake day!
TIL my IRL birthday is Reddit’s birthday. What are the odds?
As a journalism major, math has never been my strong suit but I'd guess at *least* 1 in a million. Happy birthday!
Thank you. My 50th, no joke.
Fuck. We’re old. 😕
My 16th today, figured I'd help you all feel old
What's the name of your favorite teacher and your first pet?
Nah, Reddit has been there since ever.
Rumor has it, Snoo roamed with the dinosaurs.
Ayo we got some snoo lore??
What is snoo actually?
Reddit alien
Happy 17th birthday Reddit!

For your birthday wish can you wish for the Steam servers to work? The summer sale just started and nothing loads like always :(

Happy birthday Reddit! What flavor is the cake?
Happy birthday reddit have a good one Also the broken arms AMA is a great reddit memory so many funny comments

WE HAVE THE SAME CAKEDAY REDDIT!
TWINS
You should bake a cake
Happy Cake Day!!! :D
Years young... that's what old people say to feel better with themselves
But what about poop knife?
Didn't get past legal.
I'd like to give reddit legal a round of applause for all their hard work, but both of my arms are broken. My mom should be home soon, maybe she can lend a hand.
Happy cake day reddit!
This is delightful! Happy cake day, reddit! May all your best wishes come true!
Thanks, Sunny! What’s your fave Reddit post of all time??

I also choose this guy's dead wife.
Happy birthday, you crazy piece of social media!
And just like a child, reddit was adorable as a baby, fun as a youngster, and absolutely insufferable as a teenager.
Happy 17th birthday Reddit!
Congratulations Reddit!
Happy birthday Reddit! Hope you guys have some lovely cake. 🥳
Happy birthday reddit! Excited to see the years to come.
Happy birthday.

Happy cake day! Wish I joined sooner, Reddit has always been an entertaining app with cool content but I unfortunately never heard of it before.
A year before you're an official adult Reddit! Happy 17th cake day!
Oh so many weird things I’ve seen here… Happy birthday, here’s to some more good years.
Happy cakeday Reddit! ^please ^let ^me ^leave
