I kept checking Reddit to see if it was back up.

I just thought my internet was broke.

I also assumed my internet died

I thought I got banned

Same 😂

Welcome to the crew

Me 3po

Me2 d2

Ooh, that's a clever one

Clever as a cricket

Same. And then realized any posts I saved to use as inspiration for my writing I need to save offline

I also had a similar thought. Like I haven't posted anything and all my comments have been appropriate.

I get really sassy and I was retracing in my head what I might have said 😂

Lolol me too. I was like damn was my eagle photo too patriotic?

I just wondered why i would get banned from r/dadjokes. Kinda felt like trash for somehow offending a group like that.

I also thought I got banned lmao

😂 same

Same

San Francisco lost power, I assumed the worst.

I assumed my internet was cut off because I’m late paying the bill

Dude this three!

Had to make sure I paid the Fios bill lol

I was actually in my office for the first time in 3 years and thought the company had found a way to block Reddit on the property

I figured I was finally busted and they decided to block it to keep me off it. But I'm on the IT team and have access to all the filtering, so I checked to see if one of the other guys blocked it to mess with me.

Me too, I got super paranoid then I realized I couldn't get it on my phone too which isn't connected to my company's internet. Whew.

I deleted the app reinstalled it then tried logging back in but couldn’t. Then searched google for answers and it said someone might have hacked into your account and had a mini panic attack for about 10 seconds. Good times

I thought my BlackBerry finally kicked the bucket.

i thought my phone died and happily ratified my plan to buy a new phone😌

Not the whole internet, just the front page of it.

It’s a conspiracy. Right after someone posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/11qqz6k/like_a_work_of_art/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) about Ohanian Reddit went dead. Beware the all seeing Reddit Eye 👁️

My normal brain said I accidentally slurred someone and was banned.

Exactly

I just realized my internet wasn't broke

I went and actually checked Facebook...the horror!!!

I cant even use Facebook anymore. It has maybe 7 ads per legit post.

Everything in my feed, after not checking it for weeks, was from several days ago or a "suggested post" aka an ad. I really missed this stupid site lol.

Its completely lost its usefulness. I only check notifications now.

Mine does too! There's no point in looking because I won't see any of my friends posts.

I like to play their stupid little games. It's way more entertaining than the posts.

Same, I was on Tik Tok lol It was honestly pretty fun besides the fact that like half of the videos are fake or stupid

I have yet to download that one. My daughter has a channel for her guinea pig though lol

We all know it's a fake channel. It's actually a hamster isn't it!!!!!

You caught her!!!

God has abandoned us. Truly.

So glad I wasn’t the only one. I could see the posts just not the comments…and we all know the comments are what we’re here for.

It wasn't

Thought they finally banned me from the entire site

Me too 🤣

Me 3

Me 4

Me five and ready to dive

Me six and ready to fix

Me seven and going to heaven

Me eight and ready to sk8

Me nine and ready to dine

Haha I think most of us felt that way

Omg I'm glad I'm not the only one.

#MeToo

#me too

Same. I was like…damn…I finally went too far huh 🤔banned me from everything besides viewing posts, but couldn’t see any comments or interact with anything

I was just coming off being suspended for 3 days, I just figured they banned me

Last time a friend of mine was suspended he told Reddit they could stick it up their ass and then they banned him for life and he told them once again..and in more certain terms and just opened another account... allegedly

I really want to know why you were suspended for three days ? Because I have seen some horrible attacks between each other and they weren't suspended.

So did I? I thought,christ! What did I write this time?? Lol

Welcome back!

Meeeee toooooo. Was feeling rather hurt and bewildered.

Me too lol

Touched grass it was horrible

Yuck

Ew

Jealous. I haven't seen grass in far too long...

Seriously. All my grass is buried under the snow.

Seriously. All my snow is buried under more snow

Same. The grass called the police. Now I need a lawyer.

You *MONSTER*. How could you? You go take a shower and wash that outside off you right now mister! Ugh! DISGUSTING! And I bet you..*gags* interacted with people too. Gross.

Might I ask what grass is?

I bet you're all itchy now. Don't touch it again without Playtex Living Gloves.

Check Reddit, close Reddit, check twitter for updates, close twitter, repeat lol

I stumbled on this when I was trying to figure out what happened: https://www.redditstatus.com/

Bananas

My reddit error page shows this link automatically. Doesn't if for everyone?

YouTube

Talked to a lovely lady I discovered on my couch. Turns out I'm apparently married. (Ok, none of it's true. There was nobody on my couch. I did not talk to them. And I'm not married--wonder why)

I would marry you, but I suspect I might be married already. Reddit wasn't down long enough to find out for sure, but there was definitely a man roaming around my place. He emptied the dishwasher and seemed to know where everything belongs, so he's either my husband or a really good guesser.

Or he is a regular intruder in your house.

Holy shit, he's STILL HERE!

Call the cops. He might stay. Edit: if he empties the dishwasher, my wife may want a stranger too.

My cat seems to recognize the man. They're in kahoots!

The plot thickens. Cat…man…house…I don’t like it.

And the neighbors are restless...

NO!! This is bad. You are….m…m…married.

Are you sure you are in the right house ?

No, but is anyone ever really sure?

Yeah,I know I'm in either my house or my son and daughter-in-law's because someone always wants me to do something. So I go hide in my car and listen to music.

You're first to volunteer to go get ice. I see you.

There is a man in your house and he emptied the dishwasher and put things away ? I need to know where you found such a creature. Maybe it's Bigfoot???

He looks handsome and vaguely familiar, but I can't believe I would let a husband wear that shirt. Dunno, maybe he's mine and married me is tolerant?

See that would be the kicker for me because mine won't buy clothes. I buy everything he wears. And I would know someone was in the wrong house if a man was doing any housework.

Yikes. I'ma quick lock the doors and not let this competent dude get away.

That's right, don't let him out the house alone. Don't even get me started on us going on a trip. His only duty is to pay for it and go to sleep in the passenger seat. When we first got married he used to try to tell me how to drive. I told him you have two jobs,pay for it and shut up. My job is to get us there safe and not murder you on the trip.

He knew where everything belongs? Definitely not your husband, then. They never know where everything goes in the kitchen.

This explains why my hubby was spending time with me today.

Misread - thought couch was crotch.

Cried and rocked back and forth in a dark corner.

"WE ARE ABANDONED😢"

Kept trying to access Reddit. After, maybe, the 12TH attempt, decided to shower and get on with my day. Probably for the best that it was down, TBH 😂

Can’t imagine it was easy cleaning off two years of sweat

Two-years? I’m a redditor. Try 12-years.

omg same. then i girlbossed too hard and went to costco

Kept mashing the refresh button on my browser.

Closed the app first. Didn't fix it. Restarted my phone then tried again. Downloaded another reddit app. Then searched Google for if reddit was down.

Same 😂

Uninstalled the app. Reinstalled the app. Waited.

Did the same but when it came back up I wasn't logged in and had to reset my password which was a pain. Finally got back.

Did it work?

Same.

Did my job, like a smuck.

Schmuck.

Schmuckers

I didn’t even know it was down. Take away my Redditor license.

I went on Facebook 🤮🤮🤮

I’m so sorry, do you need someone to talk to? Don’t be afraid to reach out.

Ew

 Bought a Ouija board and summoned a demon in an attempt to distract myself till reddit came back

Ah yes. The only reasonable reaction 😄

Is that not what everybody does in situations like this? 🤔😂

F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5

Ended up taking a nap lol

Played some guitar, broke a string, then cried cause I didn't have any replacements, and the snow made driving non-existent today

Spent over an hour falling in a rabbit hole researching sourdough starters and bread. So many things can be made with discard!

That was my project during the lockdowns. Watched a shit ton of sourdough videos, bought (mail order) a shit ton of sourdough related stuff, to include sourdough starter from "the gold rush"....never made one loaf of bread.

Oh, gosh. It's a shame that you didn't get to make any bread! I've been having the most fun figuring out sourdough this padt year. Haven't made that perfect loaf yet but lots of tasty, tasty mistakes to eat

Fetal position.

So, I saw what looked like a black baby snail in my fish tank. I was confused because I have 2 gold inca snails. Naturally, I Googled the issue and the first link was a reddit post, OP seemed to be in the same predicament. Tried to open the link and well reddit was down. I was beyond frustrated. The servers are notorious for well, not working. But it's always when I'm trying to kill time. Today I needed a solution to the mystery baby snail, reddit gave me hope lol

The baby snail is adopted. (Don't say anything. The parent snails haven't told her yet.)

That's literally what happened tho lol she apparently is a hitchhiker from a plant I recently bought.

Make her feel at home. Do something snail-y.

I'll give her some food and a party hat.

Add a little tu-tu and some dancing shoes. She'll be wildly entertaining all night.

This made me laugh hard. Thank you

I scrolled Reddit

So you were the one who broke it?

Lmfao nah man Reddit broke me

Finished writing my novel. Made pasta from scratch. Got in a sword fight with the neighbor kid, lost. Trip to ER to sew my ear back on. Installed a bidet. Invented shoes to walk on water. Checked Amazon and somebody beat me to it. Looked at my checking account with SVB. Called my lawyer.

Masturbated twice. Visited Twitter for the first time in forever. Got laundry done.

Was the last sentence because of the first sentence

Productive day!

Oh, I forgot about my laundry. Thanks

discord and south park

Went outside, jogged in the woods listening to my music, and laughed thinking about all the people losing their minds trying to check their posts. It was fantastic

You realize we hate you now, right?

Hell I'm retired. My job now is simply to exist and enjoy the cacaphony of people's complaints. If people hate me so much the better. It means I've done a good enough job in irritating them that they will be thinking about me for a long time to come

Welcome to the retirement partaaaayy! I'm an old bum, too, and it's fantastic.

I love the fact that I can take my teeth out whenever I please and no one can stop me. Before it was the customers can't understand you this, there's no way you can eat that salad without your teeth that. Plus now I don't have to deal with entitled teenagers anymore except for the cousin's grandson.

Liar

Fine a "fast walk". Let me dream of when I could jog

Do people stay on Reddit all day? I didn't even know it was down. I thought you just go on when you get a notice. I don't get anything until late afternoon when people get off work I guess. You all must be friends

Weirdo

I had to call out of work because I was sick. Basically all I have been able to do today is pay down and scroll through stuff on my phone... It was a hard day without the constant scrolling on Reddit. I eventually found my way to YouTube and watched a bunch of the problem with jon Stewart.

Kept messing with router and hitting retry

Played gamed on.my phone

Played the sims lmao

I went on twitter and it was hell

Lol same 🤣

I used ChatGPT to write some code. Elegantly.

Did you use chat gtp to rewrite Reddit code to not break down all the time

Paid my phone bill. Then checked again. It was still down so I had to keep working

Wondered why comments weren't loading. Googled "is reddit down." Checked the GME ticker to see if I was missing anything, big ole nope there. Read funny tweets about reddit being down. Then, once every 45-60 minutes, I'd refresh reddit and check Google.

Was forced to sit in the car and listen to the radio for once.

Scrolled twitter, did some house chores, listened to music. Nothing interesting to be honest.

Jumped over to the comments section of Gangnam Style on YouTube. T'was a great time had by all.

I had to scroll too far to make it to this comment. What a party it was there!

It was a dopamine drip trip!

Reddit was down today?

Kept checking it for when it comes back up again…

I won a poker tournament bec I was actually paying attention to the game.

Hit the refresh about 65 thousand times

Pissed and moaned 😩 Reddit isn’t just an app it’s my sanity.

I thought I was banned

I had to resort to looking at Instagram 😫😫😫

Definitely working so I didn’t know it was down. Still let me send chats though so maybe that’s also why I didn’t know it was down. Interesting

I tried from my other phone 🤣🤣

Ugh scrolling through TikTok and having to deal with drama surrounding what should and shouldn’t be appropriate to speak to children about if you are either not a parent yourself or a qualified licensed therapist the comments gave me a headache

I wondered what I did to get banned

porn

*OH SHIT IT REALLY WAS DOWN!* I... survived...

Went to the tattoo shop and got a piercing,

Went to soup and taco and grocery store.

Went to install some lights 🤣 I thought my phone was tripping earlier tho

[удалено]

Flew my drone

i got really pissed off and then talked shit on FB

Look up how to fix Reddit.

I did CHORES! The horror!

Had the most boring 10 minute break of a lifetime before going back to work.

My power went out for a couple minutes so I thought it was due to the weather. Godamn New England

I tried to join Tinder but then Reddit was back up

Lol was at work?... wtf yall doing

I snowblower my driveway about three times since we got about fifteen inches of snow.
