So yea...
I was close to the 500 day mark, had maybe 2 months or so left when the whole "Timmy" situation happened.
To those who don't know Timmy, he is a whale.
So Timmy the whale got stuck on a beach, and people tried to save him.
On 23.3 Timmy the whale got stuck on a beach, and every single day, every single hour since then we here in Germany had to listen to the "latest updates on Timmy" on the radio, on the news and i even got notifications on my damn phone.
FOR OVER A DAMN MONTH!
EVERY DAY!
And when they finally got him free, oh guess what?
HE GOT STUCK AGAIN
And then?
AGAIN
And you know what?
He got freed and got himself stuck again an incredible 5 times.
5 times that whale decided to just F freedom and go sunbathing on the beach.
Every day they told us how much tax money was wasted in the attempt to rescue a seemingly suicidal whale.
And of course this was topic number 1 on the german subs.
Well, i have to admit i got a little angry, but when i "suggested" we could just let him be and use the opportunity for some grade A whale steaks, reddit did not like that.
I'll be honest, i went into a bit more detail as to how we could achieve the acquisition of said whale steaks by the use of, well let's call it "serious putty"
Well anyways, 1.5 Million Euros in tax money later (not including the use of all those ships), Timmy is now on a boat ride to the north sea and i am finally free of my Reddit addiction.
In a way i have to thank Timmy for showing me a world without reddit.
So thank you Timmy, and i hope there are no more beaches where you are going.
