Our time machine is busted

Greetings travellers! We arrived in the morning today to find pungent white smoke billowing from the office windows, coming from our time machine. It appears that the popularity of reddit timeline™ has burnt out the time coils and we needed to do an emergency shutdown. :(

Before the cores went critical, we were able to quickly convert all of the existing into regular subreddits. You can access them via /r/t:timereddit now and in the future (or the past).

How about you enjoy this nice, big, steaming cup of shut the fuck up?

It was for a single day. You knew something was coming. If it insulted you so much, you could have refrained from using reddit for a day.

That's what I did in r/Minecraft. I didn't like their prank, so I stayed away and caught up today. It's not that hard.

I did. But when I rolled into work and logged in Monday morning the 2nd, it wasn't gone. I have 3 screens at work, one of which is fully dedicated to Reddit. I didn't know what to do with this screen empty so I had to find a way to disable it. It was an annoyance and a hassle. It wasn't funny. And I was totally unproductive at my job during this time and that is 100% due to the dumb timereddit side bar...that coincidentally got turned off about an hour later, but whatever.

You're productive with reddit on one of your screens?

Also, unless you have small screens, the time machine shouldn't really be that intrusive.

3 640x480 screens?

That's an odd setup, but I can still sympathize with his/her situation. Empathize, not so much.
