2014 is wrapping up and today is the last day before we all have to start dressing like this . So let us clamber aboard a time machine and see what happened this past year on this crazy website we call reddit.

First, some deliciously incomprehensible numbers:

In 2014 reddit had:

71.25 billion pageviews

Over 8 thousand active communities

54.9 million posts and submissions

535 million comments

3.73 billion comment votes 1

2.01 billion link votes 1

886,745 reddit live updates posted

89,602 redditors gifted reddit gold 2

386,803 redditgifts exchange signups

1.6 million official reddit app installs

1 lambeosaurus

However, numbers mean nothing without the redditors and communities that make reddit amazing.

As always, /r/AskReddit has some great end of year threads:
