It does serve to mark the passage of time. Thanks to submissions like this one, we don't really need calendars around here; we mark time by the periodic occurrence of RedditFear.
What's surprising to me is that Reddit has made it to the ripe old age of five, yet despite a highly competitive market it still appears to be the gold standard for "news sites that HN doesn't want to be like". Congratulations, Reddit folks, you're obviously doing something right! ;)

(Paul Graham put up a link to reddit from his site when reddit was started as one of the first yc funded companies was started. (Back in the day I even contributed a bug report to the reddit guys.))
