The Silly Evolution of Reddit: From Cavemen to Modern-Day Trolls

A comic strip titled "WE'RE OUT OF CORNFLAKES" by WedeKing humorously portrays the evolution of internet forums, specifically Reddit. The comic, designed in four panels, showcases different scenes set across various time periods, drawing a parallel between ancient cave drawings and contemporary online discussions.

In the first panel, captioned "THE VERY FIRST REDDIT, 1,000,006 BC," a bearded caveman, donning a tattered brown and black spotted garment, enthusiastically reveals his new 'website' on a cave wall filled with stick figure drawings. With a club in hand, he declares, "This is my new website. I will call it 'Reddit.' People can talk about anything on here!"

The second panel, simply titled "LATER," depicts another caveman, this time with a bushy beard and a tiger-striped garment, pointing angrily at the same cave wall. His speech bubble reads, "What? Are you kidding? I'm really going to voice my opinion on this one!" This panel cleverly captures the essence of heated debates often seen on Reddit.

Fast forward to "ONE MILLION YEARS LATER..." in the third panel, we see an archaeologist dressed in a beige outfit and glasses, meticulously examining the ancient cave drawings with a magnifying glass. Beside him stands another individual also scrutinizing the wall. The archaeologist reads aloud, "It reads: This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. You're a d*****bag." This depiction humorously highlights how some aspects of online discourse have remained unchanged over millennia.

The comic strip concludes with a footer showcasing the website text "wereoutofcornflakes.com," tying the entire humorous narrative together.

This comic strip not only illustrates the timeless nature of human communication and disagreement but also provides a satirical take on the evolution of online forums, particularly Reddit. The clever juxtaposition of ancient and modern comments serves as a reminder of how, despite technological advancements, the core of human interaction often remains the same.
