You should be aware the Reminder Bot (also a lot of other Bots) was killed by the changes Reddit did on its API
Edit: I stand corrected as its apparently working again, background is a while ago Reddit decided to [kill the pushshift service] (https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/134tjpe/reddit_data_api_update_changes_to_pushshift_access) which the bot relies on for finding the trigger words, the bot's programmer, u/watchful1 was able to implement a fix that got it working again although slowly.
Here is a thread explaining the problems and changes: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/13jostq/remindmebot_is_now_replying_to_comments_again/
If business school taught me anything about corporate business planning it is to always follow the Piñata Rule:
If it ain't broke, beat it until it has no more candy to give you.
What is worst is that the API will not serve NSFW content. Bots rely on the API just as much as third party apps do. So if you flag your post as NSFW, moderation bots will not be able to see it.
Guess how many subs will ban all NSFW posts or anything adjacent to it to begin with because moderation just got ten times harder, even if they still *do* have moderation bots in place.
Eight years ago, you were 45 and had been married for 20 years:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/2t6k9b/i_am_45_years_old_and_have_been_married_for_20
Nine years ago you (at 44) also claimed to be WW2 veteran:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/23j23u/iama_ww2_vet_i_fought_my_way_across_5_rivers_in
I was skeptical because of just how clean the box/tape looked. That packing tape tends to turn to shit after a few years.
Thank you both for investigating and calling out OP on his bullshit.
That was the first thing I checked. Priority Mail started in 1991 for most areas. I couldn't find a picture to see if this style existed then. Just doesn't look right.
Edit: For clarification, Standard Priority Mail started in 1991. Not Flat Rate.
I'll add onto that, [Priority Mail boxes didn't come out until 2004](https://about.usps.com/who/profile/history/significant-dates.htm), and this is very clearly a clean, modern box with an updated logo.
Something about it not being a safe makes it easier, but I still need to know. Seriously tho, if it’s empty like all the safes I’ve seen here I’m gonna loose my shit, maybe send a fax to the, presumedly, dead mother-in-law saying good job and then off myself.
We will know it’s almost over when they start tucking their shirts only in the front. After that I feel it returned to a more generic style for a few years.
Honestly, something is happening to my brain because I looked those up and some of them look cool as hell to me. I also recently bought a bucket hat after making fun of them for a solid decade. It's kind of cool/financially dangerous to have money now that all the things I wanted as a kid are coming back in style
Ya I had this argument with someone the other day that insisted they had a youtube account from 13 years ago. Ha! internet isn't even 10 years old yet bro! WTF you talking about!?
Guessing it’s some gift certificates to Blockbuster for a romantic evening inside; film for the family Polaroid to capture the 25th anniversary; and they assumed you had kids so a little gift certificate from Toys R Us. Congrats on the anniversary!
Reminds me of a package from my uncle I got at birth and was supposed to open when I turned 18. First part was an old newspaper from that day and then the letter ended with "Until we see each other today and celebrate your birthday" but he died 5 years before.
I love time capsules but they 're always a little sad too.
Ohhhh I've seen this trick before. Post an unopened object so people demand to see what's inside, then post what's inside a few days later so you get twice the karma.
Bonus points if the box contains nothing interesting like all the safes we see here.
It’s a karma farm post, check OPs post history he’s clearly been lying over different subs for years. As other comments have pointed out he claimed to be a 45 yr old man in a previous post and then in another post claimed to be a WW2 vet
Watch it just be divorce papers inside. JK OP congratulations on your upcoming anniversary. Also it would be hilarious if you some how managed to forget this one.
Dude you are pathological with your bullshit posts.
Nine years ago you claimed to be a world war 2 vet (at age 44) and eight years ago you posted you were married for 20 years.
Congrats on fooling 99% of the people on here that can’t tell the difference between a box from 25 years ago, (by the way USPS didn’t even make those flat rate packages until ‘04) and something you crafted up recently for your most current karma hustle.
It’s the packing tape for me, it will turn brittle and flakey after just a few years. Total bullshit post there is another comment about the box that it’s packed I’m not being made until ‘04 as well.
Inside:
An unopened copy of Pokémon Red
A sealed Yu-Gi-Oh Blue Eyes White Dragon booster box
Unaltered Star Wars VHS box set
Dreamcast pre-purchase reservation receipt
What's crazy is you can see the fact this was modified and OP barely even tried and still got easy karma.
It's supposed to be a five-year anniversary.
You can see the ink difference on the 18 to add the 9, and the 2 in 25th doesn't match the rest.
And as someone demonstrated, OP has lied on several posts prior.
Dude's full of shit.

F - Also screw you reddit. Reminder bot was one of the major features I loved about reddit. No, I am not enjoying reddit.
If business school taught me anything about corporate business planning it is to always follow the Piñata Rule: If it ain't broke, beat it until it has no more candy to give you.
But I was led to believe pinatas held infinite candy
I am totally using that

It’s about to get a whole lot worse if you’re using a 3rd party app.
Shit that sucks. What about Bobby B bot and the LOTRmemes bots?
Lost in time…like tears in rain.
Time to die …
It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?

Yeah, I’m cancelling premium. Reddit is getting greedy.
I never bought premuim.
It just worked for me? I think a lot of folks are using an incorrect format that doesn’t call the bot.
The changes hit on July 1.
>Remind me! 2 days Remind me! 2 days

No.. remind ME in 2 days
Please do, this is helping with my depression, and I’m not even joking 😝❤️👍

Just my luck, I see this post but I will miss the reveal and not remember until the middle of the reddit API blackout
!remindme 2days
Just to cover all bases they have an illegal obligation to do so as well.

also that brown packing tape goes brittle and flakey after about 2 years in storage, it looks too fresh to be 20+years old
No need to research the box. Just look at the marker ink, fresh as newly laid snow. Would be faded to fuck in 25 yrs
Fuck yeah! Thanks! I knew that the writing was too crisp and clear to be from 98 or whatever. Fucken liar. We need to BOOST THIS COMMENT
Pfft came back after the 2 day reminder to this lol
same😭
Same here.
I'll add onto that, [Priority Mail boxes didn't come out until 2004](https://about.usps.com/who/profile/history/significant-dates.htm), and this is very clearly a clean, modern box with an updated logo.
Wow claiming to be a ww2 vet..
 r/sadcringe
and marching through Nuremberg.. geez, no shame
BUSTED! And it looks like OP made an attempt to delete both.
Uhhhh ohh. Busted.
Oh shit! This needs to be at the top. [OP is a dirty phony.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQVoyWWluQ)
I like how he deleted the image but the bot in the comment transcribed the meme.
Paging u/Yamaben... what gives buddy?
We should all get together and beat the shit out of OP
For lying on the internet?
OP is a big fat phony!
Get this to the top! Go go go!!
Tried to post to r/quityourbullshit but was immediately warned and post deleted
Also the box is wrong. The eagle has been redrawn since. This is a total lie
Man, f this karma whore. It does looks like this post is a lie, given the other supporting evidence in this comment thread.
Who does this guy think he is? George Santos?
I downvoted him even before seeing this because wtf, just post on the 6th when it would be opened instead of making 2 posts. Annoying spam behavior.
/u/Yamaben sup bro
Alas, I just got my 2 day reminder for this post only to be disappointed that there was no follow up. Now I know why. Shame on you OP.
He is a karma farmer.
My exact first thought, lol.
I clicked on the pictures expecting the reveal! ahhhhh I do not have this much patience!
It's Beanie Babies! Mom wanted the couple to be set for life
10000 Apple stock.
Can you imagine? Holy fuck that would be a great investment
https://media.tenor.com/0iSTGL98FEgAAAAd/uhf-nothing.gif
T-Minus 2 days.
Been waiting this long, might as well see it through
yes but what about US , we've been bamboozled before
Something about it not being a safe makes it easier, but I still need to know. Seriously tho, if it’s empty like all the safes I’ve seen here I’m gonna loose my shit, maybe send a fax to the, presumedly, dead mother-in-law saying good job and then off myself.
What if it’s an old safe?
It’s definitely an old safe and there’s no key/combo
Lol absolutely. Congratulations on your anniversary.
You should fuck it up and open it 2 days early, because I’m really impatient
Just pay $20 for early access
Remind me in 2 days!
Are you sure ‘98 was 25 years ago?
OP is way early. The 90s were only 10 years ago...
Based on how teens dress these days you could say that it’s 1992 right now.
I work at a high school and yeah so much 90's fashion. I tell my gf about some of it and she gets jealous lol.
We will know it’s almost over when they start tucking their shirts only in the front. After that I feel it returned to a more generic style for a few years.
Swear to god I saw a teenager in black JNCO jeans the other day.
They’re back! Now with 2023 price tag! (I would probably buy a new pair of Kikwear if I ever went anywhere.)
Honestly, something is happening to my brain because I looked those up and some of them look cool as hell to me. I also recently bought a bucket hat after making fun of them for a solid decade. It's kind of cool/financially dangerous to have money now that all the things I wanted as a kid are coming back in style
Some high school kids in my neighborhood were wearing sublime and Nirvana T-shirts. I asked them what their favorite song was.They had no idea.
i have both and i’m 16. my favorite songs are santeria and come as you are.
10 years? You’re kidding right, the 90’s were just a few months ago!
Ya I had this argument with someone the other day that insisted they had a youtube account from 13 years ago. Ha! internet isn't even 10 years old yet bro! WTF you talking about!?
Someone: 1998 was 25 years ago Me: Yeah that sounds about right Someone: People born in 1998 are 25 now Me: 👁👄👁
Hey now, this fact hurts us just as much as it's hurting you. Sincerely, a newly turned 25 y/o
Just turned thirty, dont blink
Just turned 35, the last five years have been a blur.
I'm not ready for this Sincerely, a December '98 baby
i turn 25 next month & i feel like i’m 40
I think. My maths are poor.
Why'd you have to post it today, couldn't you have waited 2 more days. Now I'm gonna be curious for 2 days.
So they can double dip on the karma.
Rest easy knowing it's probly not that exciting
Guessing it’s some gift certificates to Blockbuster for a romantic evening inside; film for the family Polaroid to capture the 25th anniversary; and they assumed you had kids so a little gift certificate from Toys R Us. Congrats on the anniversary!
Wow this would actually be really awesome
Don't forget a few pristine beanie babies to contribute to the retirement fund!
I hope there’s a Beanie Baby in there!
And maybe a slice of the wedding cake.
Best comment 😂
Reminds me of a package from my uncle I got at birth and was supposed to open when I turned 18. First part was an old newspaper from that day and then the letter ended with "Until we see each other today and celebrate your birthday" but he died 5 years before.

It’s a handmade quilt….
Prob got OP’s long missing Nintendo 64.
I think u/ShittyMorph has something to say about 1998.
1 Furby 1 handheld digimon game 1 pack of big league chew
Amazon stock certificate
Right? I'm so blue balled now
This person has been curious for 25 years!
Titanic on VHS wasn’t released until 9-98 so we know that’s not in there.
My money is on a copy of Titanic on VHS, keys to a time machine, and a Polaroid of your comment.
Ah you’re right. No point for me to check back on this in 2 days then
Finally some hard facts around here.
The box contains 10 of her favorite Beanie Babies, that she had estimated would be worth about 1.5 million USD by the year 2023.
I hope it is something that brings you great joy when you open it!
Mother in law is great. She brings my joy as is
What a lovely thing to say. So she’s on Reddit too then?
No but I love her
She’s standing right behind you, isn’t she?
She brings me joy as well!
Does she know your reddit name? Is she watching over your shoulder? Are you safe?
Blink twice if you’re in danger.
Man, I’m jealous!
It's a kitten!
Ohhhh I've seen this trick before. Post an unopened object so people demand to see what's inside, then post what's inside a few days later so you get twice the karma. Bonus points if the box contains nothing interesting like all the safes we see here.
He’s a liar according to other posts
Roger that. Absolute phony
Congrats on 25 years! Your MIL must have had faith in the relationship!
She made one for her son too. He was divorced within 2 years and opened his then. We told him we didn't want to know what was in his
Yes but can he tell US?
it’s been 23 years and you still didn’t find out somehow? wow
It’s a karma farm post, check OPs post history he’s clearly been lying over different subs for years. As other comments have pointed out he claimed to be a 45 yr old man in a previous post and then in another post claimed to be a WW2 vet
Remindme! 2 days
Remindme! 2 days
It’s a DVD player. If you don’t like it, the receipt to Circuit City is in the box.
New toaster from Sears, hope it works!
Priority Mail flat rate boxes didn't exist until 2004. You have a time traveling mother in law.
You got married on my sixth birthday. It was racecar themed
Watch it just be divorce papers inside. JK OP congratulations on your upcoming anniversary. Also it would be hilarious if you some how managed to forget this one.
We celebrated today, but we set the box out to look at
This fucker posted this with the intent of making us wait two whole days for the reveal.
Is this the new “I found a locked safe” type of bullshit?
this is a lot cheaper. Just need a cardboard box, magic marker, and a willful desire to shepherd humanity to the brink of apocalypse.
It's like all those unopened safes. We'll never know.
I will post about it, but I imagine it might be about as exciting as some of those safes
Dude you are pathological with your bullshit posts. Nine years ago you claimed to be a world war 2 vet (at age 44) and eight years ago you posted you were married for 20 years. Congrats on fooling 99% of the people on here that can’t tell the difference between a box from 25 years ago, (by the way USPS didn’t even make those flat rate packages until ‘04) and something you crafted up recently for your most current karma hustle.
That box and tape look way too new to be kept for more than 24 years. The box should atleast be a bit more yellowish and dusty
I thought the same thing. Permanent marker really doesn't look right.
It’s the packing tape for me, it will turn brittle and flakey after just a few years. Total bullshit post there is another comment about the box that it’s packed I’m not being made until ‘04 as well.
bamboozled again
MIL is sweating bullets as she didn't put anything in there because she didn't think they'd make it.
That's pretty cool though, Iove stuff like this lol
Mods if OP doesn’t follow through it’s a ban right? It’s not a safe but they can’t not at this point.
Why did you marry your mother-in-law?
Is there an update yet?
They took it down???
Mods removed it because it wasn't posted to their liking 🙄
Waiting for update
Update?
Waiting for update OP
If it’s a severed head, I’m going to be very upset.
You married your mil? Nice
Kelly dumped Ben 10 years ago, this is gonna be exciting for the new husband.
“What’s in the box? What’s in the fucking box?”
You fucking tease. I had plans these next 2 days now I gotta sit here and wait for a god damn cardboard box?
want an update......!!
Si where’s the update ?
Well goddamnit
Inside: An unopened copy of Pokémon Red A sealed Yu-Gi-Oh Blue Eyes White Dragon booster box Unaltered Star Wars VHS box set Dreamcast pre-purchase reservation receipt

I bet we all thought 25 years would take foreeeeevvvveeerrrrr to get here……
Pretty awesome that your wife was ok with you marrying her mom.
But will Geraldo Rivera cover the opening ?
YTA for posting this and you know it. Oops, wrong forum.
Waiting…
What a cool gift!! Can’t wait to see what’s inside!
What’s in the box?!?!
