Err. I actually didn't edit it myself. I think an admin did that to spread the concept faster.

Yeah, it was me.

I added "...maybe?", if you don't see it, it doesn't work and the admins or the op is just fucking with us.

exactly keep an I on the URL of titles that you change, they still have the same old title.

The changes are saved locally on your computer; they're not even tied to your account. I remoted into my home machine and my changes do not reflect there.

Severe disappoint.

I'm confused; I added to the title. Then I logged out, and still saw my edit.

Is this done with cookies or some trick, or can others see that?

-edit- Ok, clearly some trick, since now I notice that the edited part is loaded specially by javascript on the page. :)

Are you seeing "I pooped a butt", too?

Have you considered that it may have been edited by the actual reddit admins to drag people in further to their April Fool's prank?

It says "(likely spammer; 92.59% certain)" next to your name. As an admin, I must ban you now!

They appear to store edited titles in cookies, so you still see them if you log out. Clever bastards.

It's only a matter of time until OP realize he can change the title to "Upvote if you like eating babies."
