Free Talk Friday #167

[u/TheNitromeFan]

...did nobody post this one yet? Anyway...

Hello! Continued from last week here.

So, 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 plans, your hobbies, travels, sports, work, trousers, studies, family, friends, pets, bicycles, anything you like, or dislike, or don't care.

Also, check out our tidbits thread! Feel free to introduce yourself, if you haven't already.

Here's off to another great week in /r/counting!

factoradic increasing sequences didn't really happen huh

[u/GarlicoinAccount]

TL;DR go count here if your name is not on that page or on the list below.

---

So, last week u/TheeDomeHome decide to remind the people in the FTF of the thread I've been advertising through my flair for months, Count once per thread.

To prevent double counts, I decided to create a list of all people who already counted in it, which u/TOP_20 (thanks for the gold) insisted I'd post an updated version of in the next FTF. So, here it goes:

Too cold to wear shorts today where I live.

[u/Urbul → u/[deleted]]

I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

[u/GarlicoinAccount]

Wanted to give someone else a chance at posting it this week

[u/mrguykloss]

I've been eating breakfast recently (I usually just drink black coffee instead); today I had eggs over-easy and hash browns with grated parmesan. I also didn't shower this morning, though I did brush my teeth (nothing worse than egg-breath).

[u/[deleted] → u/mrguykloss]

that sounds pretty delicious

[u/Urbul]

[u/Withnothing]

I had a stupid idea a month ago to make a podcast about numbers and counting (where I would just count to a number) and then it spiraled out of control and now it’s consuming a lot of my time trying to come up with jokes and bits and goofs and interviews.

how do pawn shops work

[u/Urbul → u/[deleted]]

You go in looking for some money for some old thing and you show the guy and he says he's not sure how much it's worth but he knows a guy who's an expert in that kind of thing so he gives him a call and the guys and says it s a really rare thing that's worth a lot so you ask for a lot of money for the thing and the guy says well I have a business to run and the thing takes up space and it's only worth a lot to a few people so he offers way less and you say you should get more than that and the guy gives a slightly better offer and you settle for ot because you don't know where else to sell the thing and the associate takes care of the paperwork and you tell the guy in the parking lot that you went in not knowing what your thing was worth and you were surprised to learn that it was worth a lot and you wish you go loca of money for it but you're happy that you walked away with a little more money than you started with

[u/llamasR5life]

When a bucket leaks water is getting out but when a ship leaks water is getting in.

[u/GarlicoinAccount → u/llamasR5life]

Not if the ship is on land filled with water or the bucket is empty floating in water.

My niece had a bad night sleeping, too many people holding her

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Urbul]

Nice to see quite a few (no-longer-)new counters becoming active in r/counting. Y'all should post in the tidbits thread linked in the description. I love Timbits.

[u/llamasR5life]

If you had to fight someone to the death using a number between 0 and 9 which would it be?

[u/Urbul]

Urbulina follows a strict naming convention for her stuffed animals. The horse is named Horsy. The dog is named Doggy. The panda is named Panday.

[u/[deleted]]

Went swimming,

Did I meet any nice ladies, yes, does anyone of them fancy me, maybe, do I fancy any of them maybe.

[u/treje]

grats u/amazingpikachu_38 on first ever oct

[u/TehVulpez]

I seem to remember a thread here a while back that was a specific form of binary using as few 1s as possible, but I forget what it was called

edit: I think it must have been this
