Introducing reddit timeline™

reddit, inc. is proud to introduce a groundbreaking new development in social news. Using never-seen before time travel technology, in addition to news, we are now able to offer olds, soon-to-bes, and everything in-between. We’ve taken the most interesting eras of the past and future and condensed them into new areas called “timereddits”.

No longer will you be shackled to the present-centric bias rampant on the internet. Simply peruse the new reddit timeline™ bar on the front page to view the hottest stories of any timereddit and communicate with peoples of distant lands and times.

Have you ever wondered what the popular memes were in the late-cretaceous period? Curious to see if cats and bacon will still be around in 42000 AD? Want to have a fireside AMA with Prometheus? Now is your chance to travel through history.

As you travel, please take care to abide by the cultural norms and practices of your time. Besides being a violation of intergalactic law, exposing past peoples to knowledge from the future can be extremely dangerous, and even risk temporal paradox.

Attention pseudo-scientists, engineers, and ethnographers: we require experienced time travellers to adopt portions of the timeline and enhance our presence there. Want to adopt a timereddit or help navigate the time machine? Join us over at /r/timereddits, any time.
