Every year Reddit tries some massive April fool's community joke. It started with "the button". Now every year we have some puzzle to decode. Typically it's nothing, and has 0 impact on anything, just it's entertaining.

Edit: apparently r/thebutton was not first, and despite my long history here, I stand corrected on Reddit lore. Forgive me.

started way before the button, but yeah.

i think the confusion this time is due to the fact that it's literally not working

Unlike the internet points we gain here. so at the day of command, when *they* arrive, you will have enough points to be spared.

Its a social experiment disguised as an April Fool's joke.
