Proof that Reddit is inhabited largely by pre-teens.

I dunno man, doesn't this seems more like the opposite? As in, a pearl-clutching little old 75-year-old lady's reaction?

Admittedly it's been a long time since I was a 12-year-old, but IIRC the standard reaction to something like this was this. Hell, I'm 43 and that's pretty much how I reacted now, only, you know, with a jokey hint of self-aware irony thrown in because I know such a reaction is juvenile.

Shocked into speechlessness, on the other hand, is exactly how my bafflingly recently-prudish, septuagenarian mom would react to this, which leads me to suggest that with this we now have proof of the before-only-theorized .02% of Reddit that falls into that category.
