    The old joke was that there are no human beings on Reddit.

    There’s only one person, you, and everybody else is bots.

    It’s actually kind of fitting that Reddit will actually become the horrifying clown shaped incarnation of that little snippet of comedy.

      When I was young, everyone on the internet was an old man, especially if they said they weren’t. Now that I’m older, everyone on the internet is a robot.

      …Is this that “progress” thing I keep hearing about?

      it’s older than that… what’s that thought experiment postulating that you can’t really verify the existence of anything but yourself? the matrix?
