A Redditor discovers a way of travelling through time.
He steps into his time machine and sets it to 20 years in the future.

...
He wakes up naked in the middle of a park. "Oh shit" he mutters, "has it worked?”
A drone flies past him reeling off the latest headlines from the local news.
"I’m here, this is the future!" He thinks as he notices the date displayed on the news drone. "I'd better find myself some clothes."
He dashes into a nearby alleyway, cupping his tackle as he runs and finds a dumpster. He opens a garbage bag inside the dumpster, which contains some very gnarly looking meat, a pair of knickers and hundreds of stinking maggots. “Eww, this reminds me of something i read…”, he thinks, and he throws it to the side. He finds a bag of old clothes lying near the bottom. "Perfect", he says, "I’m only here for a little while, who cares if I smell like trash", and he gets dressed.
"I’d better log onto reddit and find out more about this world", he thinks, so, stinking of crap, the redditor makes his way to the nearest Internet cafe.
"How do I get online?", he asks the waitress.
Repelled by the stink and resisting the urge to cover her nose, she hands him a headset and points to one of the reclining chairs. "Put this on and you're in", she said, "you can pay after with karma credits if you like".
He looks at her blankly...
"New here aren't you?" she says, "Any popular website where you can earn karma can be used as currency."
"Awesome", thinks the redditor, having recently earned gold on a few posts and plenty of karma, "I hope my reddit account is still there..."
He sits back in one of the chairs and puts the headset on.
He closes his eyes and says, "Umm… Reddit". He opens his eyes and he’s no longer sitting in an internet cafe chair, but is surrounded by people in the biggest bar he’s ever stepped foot in.
"Welcome to Reddit”, says a voice behind him. He turns around and recognises the man.
"You're... y.. you're Samuel L Jackson!" says the redditor.
"Correctamundo", replies Samuel, "and you are... a badass mother fucker I see, I like that! I can see you haven't logged on for 20 years Mr BAMF! Well, I guess I'd better show you the changes around here."
“To start with, if you want to upvote something you have to use your own karma. You can either gain this by getting upvotes yourself or buy it at our karma store. Seems you have enough karma already though Mr bamf.”
Samuel leads the redditor to the door and they step through. On the other side is an entire virtual world, incredible, vast and almost realistic enough to pass for real life.
"Now, we can either travel by horse, which, to be honest, is just goddamn slow, or we can fast travel to the different subreddits."
Knowing what little time he had before he was zapped back to his own timeline, the redditor opted for fast travel.
"To r/news", the redditor requested.
zzziiinggg in an instant they were stretched sideways and pinged into a completely different area of the virtual world.
They were surrounded by tall buildings on all sides with headlines billboarded across each one. Before he could open his mouth to speak, they were approached by, Barack Obama. "Welcome to r/news", Obama began, "I am in charge of this subreddit, let me know if I can help."
"What the actual fuck", the redditor turned to Samuel and asked, "what’s Obama doing heading up r/news, and why are you, of all people, Samuel L fucking Jackson, my Reddit guide?"
"Well, Mr bamf, years ago the Internet became a very volatile place. For any major website to survive, they had to have celebrity endorsements. The best way to do that was to employ them. Reddit took it a step further and made sure each subreddit was owned by one celebrity."
"Wow", the redditor replied, "who endorsed Imgur?"
"Beyonce", replied Samuel, "she thought if she had control she could finally remove all those hilarious pictures of herself."
"Did it work?"
"No", said Samuel, "people started hosting their Beyonce images on Tumblr instead"
"Who endorsed Tumblr?"
"Jay-Z"
"I won't ask…” The Redditor said, “And you? Your the guide to this whole place?”
“I needed the money dude”, replied Samuel, “after my 350th movie, I’d finally had enough of acting.”
“Fair enough… Let's explore more of Reddit. I want to see what's happened to all of the subs. Lead the way Samuel, I want to visit r/gifs" says the Redditor.
They select r/gifs from the fast travel menu and....
zzziiingggJust like that... they’re there. Around them are hundreds of low level tables with people chilling back in La-Z-Boys. In the centre of each table, a 3D holographic gif is looping.
Just then another celebrity approaches him… It’s Steve Harvey!
He claps his hands together and says, “Welcome to r/gifs.”
"Ha, this is awesome", the Redditor says, as he watches through the top holographic gifs of all time.
“I’d love to stick around and watch holographic gifs all day, but I’ve got to see as many subs as possible. See ya later Steve!”
The Redditor and Samuel L Jackson spend the rest of the day travelling from sub to sub.
r/showerthoughts was on a huge cloud in the sky, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. To submit a shower thought, you literally had to stand in the shower, think about it and it would be posted.
r/movies was a huge movie theatre, hosted by Steven Spielberg. There were over 1000 screens, all playing the current most upvoted movies.
r/gaming, hosted by Mila Kunis, was like entering World of Warcraft, create your avatar and roam around the subreddit as a fantasy character, selecting games to play or discuss.
r/fitness was hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, If you were lucky you could get some one on one training with the big man himself.
r/creepy was like a true horror movie set, everywhere you went there was a scare waiting for you. When you posted here, it was added virtually to a random place, ready to freak the crap out of someone. Stephen King had the job of looking after this place.
r/RedditsMuseumOfFilth was right next to r/creepy, but they quickly skipped past it when he noticed who was hosting it. The kid with broken arms and his mother must have become celebrity figures after being mentioned in every Reddit post for 20 years solid. And let’s be honest, no one needs to see a cumbox, cum boxers or the cumwall in virtual reality.
They even found time to visit some of the more N.S.F.W. subreddits. As you could imagine, they were incredible. Our Redditor didn’t want to stay there too long, not with Samuel as his wingman anyway.
After a few hours, it wasn’t long until our redditor was due to be pinged home. They head for the bar where they began so he can log off.
“Hmmm, I feel like I’ve missed something…” he says to Samuel.
“WAIT! What about r/jokes, who’s in charge there?”
“Leonardo DiCaprio”, Samuel replies.
“But, he isn't particularly funny...” responds the Redditor
“No, not really Mr bamf...” says Samuel, “but he seemed to be the best fit. Leo was the most dedicated of all celebrities.”
“Dedicated to jokes?” He asks.
“No”, said samuel, “To Recycling”.
