For Redditors With Style: 3 Great Reddit Tools for Mac OS X
I think it's not unreasonable to say that Reddit fulfills the true purpose of the Internet - as an addictive time suck that can fill your mind with anything from obscure and probably illegal NSFW to pictures of squirrels eating unusual things (yep, that one I'll link to).
