Today we celebrate our 17th cake day(!!). To take you on a quick trip down memory lane, when Reddit was born there were no communities, just the front page, and only external links could be posted to it. Since then, there have been over a billion posts shared on Reddit, evoking every emotion from "aww" to "wtf." If you’ll allow us to be in our nostalgic ~feels~ today, we’re revisiting some of our favorite posts (17, exactly) from over the years.

Greetings and happy May, redditors! This month hosts no shortage of exciting events (Met Gala, NBA Playoffs, Eurovision, oh my!) but none more important than our unofficial—but so widely beloved that it’s pretty much official—favorite holiday: May the 4th.
