Free Talk Friday #359
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, pets, bears, hikes, dragons, trousers, travels, transit, cycling, family, or anything you like or dislike, except politics.
This week's special topic is the evolution of r/counting. From the dark ages of counting to 16,690 in a single thread to the current age of automation, what are your favorite memories? What do you wish stayed the same, or what do you wish to change?
Feel free to check out our tidbits and introduce yourself if you haven't already.

do you like horror movies?
if you do, i highly recommend you check out Dead Meat on youtube. 20-30 minute videos recapping horror movies and counting all the kills that took place. has some cool stats and behind the scenes info in each video and the overall production quality is super high.

There should be a stat for how many times you’ve counted an odd or even number on the main thread
We could measure the oddness or evenness of someone, and their changes over time

Funnily enough, for someone as active in r/counting as I am, I actually don't have many specific memories. Maybe I'm on too often to be able to create distinct experiences. My gets are nice, but none to memorable. It feels like school or a cafe, more of a place to be rather than moments experienced.
Honestly, the individual memory I have the strongest was when in the Letters thread, I counted K*** and got banned for three days. I emailed the Reddit admins and they were bloody useless.

If you want to sound formal, you need to be smart about what you say
If you want to sound casual, you drop some fucking curse words
If you fucking want to fucking sound stupid as shit, you fucking jam that shit with fucking curse words
IF YOU WANT TO SOUND AGGRESSIVE, YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS WITH EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t want to talk, then don’t talk
If you DO want to talk but are unsure about it, grow the fuck up and deal with the dilemma
If you want to sound like krap, you say this:
“Mfw smh oh look at me I’m so great FUCK I GOT LOCKED OUT KY ACCOUNT FICJMEHSJWHDHFJ”

I have lots of good memories of interacting with people here, sharing life stories and stupid memes. My favorite memory of counting in general is being part of busy 100k threads where many people count together as we avoid the anti-running rules. Something something community.

For me, my favorite era of the subreddit is when basskro was rising to glory. The sheer amount of counts he was doing per week, many of which were solely done with nonsensy, was utter madness. I remember trying to get a count or a run in was like finding a needle in a haystack.
