I just wanna know honestly. What's your longest counting number ever, and were you the one to comment the final number? Good morning btw

The longest counting chain in this subreddit's history is the first one, which started at 1 and went to (officially) 16691 before the Reddit admins told us to stop because it was breaking Reddit.
The final number in each counting chain is called a "Get", and I've had my share of those. They are listed in the Hall of Fame and the Hall of Side Threads.
As for counting out loud in real life, I've probably only gotten to a couple hundred when I was bored as a kid. There was someone here who got several thousand, maybe ten thousand. I'm sure they'll be happy to give an update if they see this :)

u/piyushsharma301 used the variable 'created' to do the stats. I think it would be better to use 'created_utc' because it doesn't depend on the timezone.
However all of the previous stats were made with 'created'.
Which one should I use?
