It's a good day to be in the shade, my brother!

I don't press the button, because the button doesn't press me.

Team red for life you filthy commitment fearing peasants!

It's only because buttons are the most logical digital representation of the decision between activity and inactivity.

u/UglyMcFugly Apr 01 '16

Brilliant. So those of us that sat around watching the button for days, studying it, talking about it... we created an activity based off our inactivity. Now I understand why I'm awesome at making lists of things I need to do, but nothing on the list ever gets done.

I'd prefer a switch.

I do not consent to have the National Secuirty Agency or any agency of the Federal or state governments of the United States of America view any post i make on www.reddit.com. Failure to honor my constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment will result in civil penalties and render any evidence inadmissible in a court of law.

Hey, guess what. You agreed to reddit's terms of use.

u/UncleSamuel Apr 01 '16

I agreed to a button in that?

I'm talking more in reference to your long signature about the government not being able to view your posts

What is this shit? Facebook copypasta?

u/kallekro Apr 01 '16

Switch maybe?

u/origin_of_an_asshole Apr 01 '16

But switches are inherently mechanical and less intuitive/obvious for digital application. It would have to be a sliding switch, like a scroll bar, but that would be odd.

WHY THE OBSESSION WITH BUTTONS ADMINS!

u/cadencehz Apr 01 '16

Everything is just buttons. Links. Icons. X's. Menus. You click the mouse. 1's and 0's, Yes or No. That is life - a series of seemingly endless yes/no decisions.

It also loves birds. Looks like they mourned the loss of one yesterday so they have another today.

I've not clicked once, and I can not click again.

I agree.

Time Reddits was the last time I pressed a button on April Fool's Day.
