reddit.com is a 'social news' website, but that basically means we let our readers determine what goes where on the front page. They do this by submitting interesting links and voting the good ones up (and the worst ones down). Since Steve and Alexis started it in a Medford, MA apartment after graduating college, the site has grown quite a bit and our alien mascot needs to help pay the bills. Hence the merch you see below. Buying some is not only a great way to look awesome, but it pays for our servers and keeps reddit fast, fresh, and free!
All reddit shirts are American Apparel brand, 100% cotton, and will make you look both sexy and socially responsible (made in sweatshop-free downtown LA). They do run a bit smaller than other tees, so check the male and female sizing charts.
Ladies of reddit 2010 Calendar for Charity | Ever unsure about what day it is? We thought so. Well, 2010 is going to be a special year for you, thanks to the great work of some wonderful redditors. Like many of the exceptional things produced by reddit, this entire project was entirely led by redditors (krispykrackers, S2S2S2S2S2, and sundogdayze).
When they approached us with the idea to do a calendar full of lovely lady redditors, we had no reason to turn them down. And here's the best part, 50% of the profits go to the charity of your choice (from our list of 6, as chosen and voted on by the ladies of reddit who so generously donated photos).
Just choose from the dropdown (all the calendars are the same, they just send your donations to different nonprofits) and get your wall ready for 2010!
Because we don't want to be stuck with a thousand 2010 calendars come March, we're taking pre-orders now. Your calendar pre-orders will certainly arrive before the holidays.
Sometimes the tubes get clogged and you need to transfer data using something you can literally throw across the office. This 4GB USB flash drive has been specially designed by Mimobot in the shape of our time-traveling mascot. And here's the best part: when you're ready to access your data, you get to rip the alien's head off (we tried to make it scream when you did that, but there were technical limitations).
It started with a design contest for a new shirt. The resulting reddit coat of arms shirt has been a big hit. So much so, that we were getting requests to put the design on posters. Well, here you go! Impress guests with your Internet family's traditional coat of arms. This 25x17 inch* marvel is guaranteed to scare away evil spirits and attract cute members of the opposite (or same!) sex, just like a puppy.
*that's ~1.39 x .94 cubits for you really old people out there.
A while back, we had postcards depicting this scene. We'd throw them in as bonuses on large merch orders or hand them out at events, you know the deal. The feedback was overwhelming: "Make it a poster!" You want it, you got it. Now you can show your support for reddit (and evolution) by slapping this 25x17 inch* piece of beauty onto the wall of your home, dorm room, or maternity ward.
*that's 63x48 cm for you socialists out there
Remember this thread? With this poster, you can relive it every time you look up at your wall/ceiling/classroom. After the launch of Cuil, a redditor named RedDyeNumber4 crafted this robust theory for explaining the levels of abstraction away from the reality of a situation (known as the unit "Cuil"). This poster is nice and big (27x39.5 inches) to impress visitors with its grandeur. You ask me for a hamburger...
We're so impressed with our community that we asked reddit to create the concept (not because we're lazy) and partnered with Crowdspring to produce the final product (OK, maybe a little lazy). After all the up-votes were counted, this reddit crest was the winner. The community chose everything from the design (down to the individual symbols) to the shirt color. If you're a true redditor, you'll surely recognize the narwhals, bacon, orangered envelope, and look of disapproval.
The winning designer, a redditor named licenseplate, did a fantastic job. We've got a feeling we'll be seeing more of her work in the future.
Our long-disputed and long-revered mystical orangered envelope can now be with you all day long - constantly reminding you to check your reddit messages. Warning: people may try and click on you.
This was a shirt we designed with your input and our own obsessiveness led us to match the RGB values to their closest Pantone counterpart. Well, is it orange or red?
Inspired by a reddit comment from dep, this shirt is guaranteed to impress Mr. Miyagi and the Cobra Kai alike. Wearing this shirt is like you're always in the "Crane Kick" stance, ready to deliver the final blow and instruct onlookers that if you watch The Karate Kid backwards, it's about this karate champ who slowly becomes a pussy and ends up moving back to Jersey.
Inspired by a reddit submission from sixdoublefive321, this shirt is guaranteed to impress Jaws fans and haters alike. It's never been easier to attractively instruct onlookers that if you watch Jaws backwards, it's a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they open a beach.
Back in 2005, this was the very first design for a reddit shirt. At the time, its "vintage look" was delightfully ironic; four years later, we're just amazed the site is still around.
This also happens to be our first shirt without the word "reddit" anywhere on it. This way people won't think you're bad at spelling and might even ask what that happy alien-bug-thing is all about.
The perfect shirt for any redditor, especially one who fondly remembers videogames before things like "bullet time" or "regenerating health bars" and when "massively multiplayer" meant inviting over all your friends.
Because you're never too young to start redditing.
When you vote up this baby (and who wouldn't?) you'll make it giggle, or possibly cry -- hopefully the former, babies are funny like that. And when you turn the little tyke over, you'll see his/her username and first karma point.
