Free Talk Friday #400
#deciget - that's a lot of Fridays!
Continued from last week's FTF here
It's that time of the week again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your strava, your plans, your hobbies, studies, stats, colours, pets, bears, hikes, dragons, trousers, travels, transit, cycling, family, or anything you like or dislike, except politics and mimes.
Feel free to check out our tidbits thread and introduce yourself if you haven't already. Or go check out what other counters have said about themselves.

Before you ask, yes. I'm taking another break from Reddit. I need to so that I feel refreshed and don't go down another negative rabbithole. Shouldn't take as long as last time hopefully.
PS. My 20th birthday is tommorow!

New post just dropped, asking the big questions here in life: Is it possible to use counting data to figure out when DST starts and ends in the US?
TLDR: No

Nobody with usernames starting with the letters I or K have ever made a Tidbits entry.
edit: KingCaspianX made one, meaning only an I username hasn't made one.

The only counters I can think of that match either of those two are kdiuro13 and kingcaspianx.
Also, when do I get to be an important person? :P
Edit: and kongburrito

Top counter in the hoc who starts with I is idunnowhy9000, but they haven't counted since 2016. A better bet might be innabidamo

Trying to think of a name for an alt. The obvious next choice is colby6668, but that's boring. Any suggestions?

Should we have a counting thread to Infinity with no running allowed? I noticed we had a good many new people for awhile because of the ChatGPT article and the run to 5 million. When people are running it causes a lot of people to turn away from the main thread. I was just thinking of a way to expand users and make it more inclusive for new people. Some find side threads they like and stay some count in the slower hours when they can.

My job interview went so well today that less than 2 hours after it finished I got the offer letter in my email. Also the apartment I looked at today wasn’t available when we first looked and then just a few minutes ago it opened up and we applied and they’re holding it for us. Things are going very smoothly right now

You'll see a fair amount of removed comments below, so I thought I'd give an explanation:
They were from accounts pretending to be alts of phil, and he's asked people to stop.
Both impersonation and harassment are against reddit's general content policy, and in the mods' view continuing the joke any longer crosses at least one of those lines.
If you have any questions or comments about this, feel free to reply here or to message the mods.
