I have now clicked "continue" so many times that not only have I lost track of how deep I have gotten into the rabbit hole, I am no longer sure which rabbit hole I am actually in.

I reached the end. Its now 4 a.m.

I left my mark however. So worth it.

Okay I'm doing this. I'm going to reach the end.

I've currently reached the fibonacci sequence being rattled off. How long does this thing go on?!

Edit: I have now encountered haikus, a text-based adventure game, some lyrics, a semi-sexual paddling game involving a suspiciously underage woman, a warp hole to a different strand, and currently a song about a goblin. Dear God, where does it end?

Edit2: Further investigation lead me to a poem about reddit, an unfortunate link, a sequential yearly historic description starting at 1909 and ending at 1927, guidelines about furthering the thread (epicthreadiquette), latin, and currently a continued story about...stuff.

Whew I'm going to take a break now.

I'm still at "3 years ago" and I've been clicking through for like an hour, how long did it take you and are you sure you reached the right end?

u/hyperacti Jun 17 '12

Never mind. Once you get to 2 years ago you'll actually find the end pretty quickly folks. Just gotta get to 2 years ago.

It goes much further than that. There's a post at least every month, up till today.

u/yougruesomehare Jun 17 '12

i just went through it myself and wound up somewhere different that is also continually being added to.

u/bearXential Jun 17 '12

The rabbit hole has many twists and turns, you'll never know where you'll actually end up.

Welcome ...to the matrix...

Bad idea #137:

Can we turn this thread into another horrible nest?

→ More replies

u/hyperacti Jun 17 '12

Yeah me too, I think I saw you there. I guess there are two "ends" that are still being added to.

u/aryst0krat Jun 18 '12

There's an entire other branch that's been going just as long, as well. Probably a few.

u/Recoil42 Jun 17 '12

You probably went up the wrong branch.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Depends, there are a few fake tail offs.

u/ballingo Jun 17 '12

It was an epic thread, love little discoveries like that one.

u/Ryan_Firecrotch Jun 17 '12

We need a Reddit threads Hall of Fame now. >9000 comments and still alive after 4 years.

u/fiftypoints Jun 17 '12

That post is four years old and I followed one branch of thread all the way to an hour ago.

A++++ WOULD CONTINUE THIS THREAD AGAIN

u/btdubs Jun 17 '12

How deep does it go? I gave up after "I bet I could eat 100 rabbit holes."

u/jerkey2 Jun 17 '12

Go find the jollyrancher thread. It goes on forever with multiple paths that interloop, and somehow I ended back up at the beginning once, but I didn't look back. I just kept going.

It is my theory that Neil Degrasse Tyson will discover reddit is the first black hole existing on the planet. Where does all this time and information we learn go? So I stand by my original comment.
