text: In the early days of Reddit, they used it as their logo, one of them had drew it and it looked cute, they even made a stuffed version and named it Snoo because the name also sounded cute. Snoo was kept on top of their computer and they adored him. But one winter, one cold cold winter, that ragtag band of the people who maintained Reddit huddled together in the last burning embers of their fireplace, for they couldn't pay the heating bill. They were growing colder and colder, and their hope of seeing the future of their small but promising site, Reddit. Suddenly, Snoo rose and spoke, "Fear not, my brothers, for I am your Savior Snoo" this of course scared the daylights out of everyone in the room besides Snoo who now had forgotten the cold and gathered around Snoo and asked him questions as to why he had suddenly spoke. Snoo raised an adorably small hand and said, "You mortals will not yet be able to comprehend my existence, only know you have a great piece in the puzzle of the universe, your site's members shall be many, do not lose hope for you shall survive this winter, you will one day by the last hope of the free thinking universe" One among the eager crowd inquired the Snoo, "But how, our fire is quickly waning and our bodies will not produce heat much longer" The Snoo turned to him and said, "Do not worry, that is why I have come, I know I must sacrifice myself to save the universe in the future, it is my piece in the puzzle and I shall take it with dignity" With one final adorable salute he cast himself into the fireplace and stoked the flames. This bold sacrifice somehow kept the fire burning for eternity, and it still burns to this day. The Redditors who witnessed that bold, and strangely vague sacrifice decided to make effigies of the Snoo so that his face and his sacrifice that saved Reddit would be remembered. Of course, they profit off them in the Reddit Store, but it's the thought that counts.
