On reddit? Ah fuck, apparently its first recorded usage was on usenet in 2002. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL%3BDR I may have been using the internet since the 90s, but I also was under the age of 10 for most of the 90s, so... yeah I did not exactly know as much about usenet, as say... gamefaqs, and neopets lol. permalink fedilink source parent
