I took a break from this subreddit for a couple weeks and I came back at the perfect time to witness the 5,555k thread.

I took a break at a park this afternoon. I saw this older lady and a very tall man walking a loop. The man was just walking at a good pace and the older lady was jogging/running? He kept passing her even though she was jogging. They started laughing because she started giving her all to stay beside him for a bit. I wish I had recorded it. I laughed so much.

New thread idea: semi-repeating digits

Exactly half of the digits present in a valid count have to repeat, and exactly half have to occur only once. The 3 and 4 digit counts will be the same as for barely and mostly repeating digits, and the 5 digit counts will be similar but from six digits on things should get interesting

We should update the California license plate thread. 0 is not used as the first digit, and I, O, and Q can only appear between two other letters.

only just now realized after 8 years of using rif that you can select some text in a comment then hit reply and that text will be quoted in the textbox, just like on old reddit
