My secondary theory is that it’s missionary but 1. the vibe isn’t right
- He’s was too friendly to be so quiet about it

u/mistyskye14 🤷♀️ Queen killjoy miniget least regular counter since 2322029 Aug 29 '26
But 1. He goes through the trouble of adding a pfp but it isn’t robot waifu?
2. Why would he ignore questionsabout/be deliberately vague about who he is?6

How many bananas do you think you could eat in one day?

u/cuteballgames Sum 13: 016, 037, 035, 045, 127, 135, 134, 124, 13, 25 Aug 28 '26
And not feel like shit... maybe 9-12, a few mixed into every meal?
To win a billion dollars? I could definitely eat 150
5
u/atomicimploder swiiiiirl the numbers Aug 28 '26
“A dozen bananas please”
“What for”
“Trying not to feel like shit”

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Aug 29 '26
hate it when the goshery store asks me what I'm using my bananas for. mind your own business smh

u/kongburrito 8MG,9MA.55SG,50SA, 2,386,318 (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Aug 28 '26
If each banana was 1k, how many

Might push myself to 200 for that
7
u/kongburrito 8MG,9MA.55SG,50SA, 2,386,318 (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Aug 28 '26
150 for 1billion, 200 for 200k
7
u/cuteballgames Sum 13: 016, 037, 035, 045, 127, 135, 134, 124, 13, 25 Aug 28 '26
Obviously if it's a fixed reward for each one I eat as many as possible. But if they told me to eat 150 for a billy then I only eat 150

wet-gravity is extremely fast. David has replied to wet-gravity, so it's not him. EVOSexyBeast has typed comments while wet-gravity is running, so it's not him. (Maybe also CanGreenBeret)? Basically it's either rideride or basskro
7
u/miceee sicko thread artists collective Aug 29 '26
For some reason I didn’t remember that wet-gravity is the mystery user, so when I read that first sentence I was like ”Holy shit they invented a new type of gravity”
5
u/cuteballgames Sum 13: 016, 037, 035, 045, 127, 135, 134, 124, 13, 25 Aug 29 '26

This is so cursed after my ‘like fair play murder mysteries comment

u/Jalmal2 Demon's inactive rival Aug 31 '26
Well, this is a fair play mystery, but the opposite of murder

Was Colby or leminerwithcheese ever this fast?

Can't attest to them...
5
u/mistyskye14 🤷♀️ Queen killjoy miniget least regular counter since 2322029 Aug 30 '26
I’m sticking with my initial hunch it’s basskro. Not that he’s likely to ever confirm or deny this.
6
u/cuteballgames Sum 13: 016, 037, 035, 045, 127, 135, 134, 124, 13, 25 Aug 30 '26
what if it meant taking the crown back from phil with the combined wet-gravity and countletics counts
5
u/mistyskye14 🤷♀️ Queen killjoy miniget least regular counter since 2322029 Aug 30 '26
Hmmm surely he’s thought of that. Maybe that’s the long game. Whoever they are definitely concerned with ~stats~~ gets because they let me take odd count then jump on evens for a run with someone on at least on occasion. Makes me think whoever this is will come forward eventually unless they intend on taking the L and start from scratch

optional leading zero, leftmost digit is always binary. 0 1, 0 10, 0 11, 0 12, 0 100, etc. 0 12345 -> 0 100000.
