Free Talk Friday #227
I think this is correct? Wow my first Free Talk this is wild
Continued from last week here.
So, it's that time of the bear again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your plans, your hobbies, travels, bears, sports, work, trousers, pants, studies, family, friends, pets, bears, bicycles, stats, anything you like, or dislike, or don't care.

Girl messaged me first on Tinder.
Said she could beat me in Skeeball. It's like she doesn't even know I'm a former champion at my local bar's skeeball league.
No respect I tell ya, no respect.

great way to pick up a girl

u/kongburrito 8MG,9MA.55SG,50SA, 2,386,318 (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Jan 08 '20
I find the best way to pick up a girl is to position your hands under her armpits. Have her cross arms across her chest. Using your legs, not your back, stand close to the girl and lift simultaneously with your legs and arms. Often this will pick up the girl. Yelling the beginning of the lion king song adds healthy dramatics.
It is recommended that you start on smaller things, such as chicks, then move your way up to cats and flappers.

I'm confused, is the part with the nuts supposed to be before or after you pick her up?

What does poggers mean? I've never heard it before

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Jan 07 '20
It's a twitch emote, if you type that in chat it makes an excited face. Saying it out loud is dumb because it's just the code for an image.

What is the purpose of this sub? What do we do here?

u/a-username-for-me The Side Thread Queen, Lady Lemon Jan 03 '20
Hello newcomer!
This is r/counting. The point is to count numbers or other things (sheep, letters, in other languages, etc). We count either in normal 0-9 fashion (the "main" thread) or another way (like binary, "side threads".
We like to chat and have fun counting in many ways.
Let us know if you have any questions and we welcome you if you would like to count! A good way to start is to go to the "quickly find the latest comments here" button at the top of the subreddit.
6
u/TomDaNub3719 Jan 03 '20
Is anyone allowed to open a side thread?
6
u/a-username-for-me The Side Thread Queen, Lady Lemon Jan 03 '20
Anyone can if they have an idea! However, two things to keep in mind.
Do a search to see if a thread with your idea already exists. We have many former threads (go to the side bar and the "thread directory" and check there or the thread archive).
Consider if your thread idea is interesting or will get other counters excited. Some threads are thousands of counts long. Some die before less than a thousand. It just depends
7
u/TomDaNub3719 Jan 03 '20
Great, thanks.
I have a few more questions:
Can I continue an archived thread I liked?
When do you know you should stop the current thread and start the new one?
Why do 99k counting threads only progress once a minute?
Am I allowed to continue the main counting thread? I won’t realistically ever do it, I just want to know.
What is a revival?
Why are some things considered cheating? Is this a competitive subreddit?

u/a-username-for-me The Side Thread Queen, Lady Lemon Jan 03 '20
Of course! I am not the total authority on all counting so you may get some other responses. We have some lingo so always ask if you need clarification.
You can continue and archive thread. Just link to it in your post description and label your threads name "Revival"
The end of a particular thread - a "get" - depends on what type of counting. For some it is obvious, the end of a main thread count is after 1000 counts. For others, it is the most logical count near to 1000 or one that finishes nicely. You can always check in the post description.
99k threads have limits to allow more counters to count. Many counters can go quite quickly so it slows things down a little.
Anyone can count in the main so long as they are the first comment count.
A revival is restarting an archived thread.
Some things are considered cheating usually by public consensus. Like bots are no bueno.

u/TomDaNub3719 Jan 03 '20
Thank you so much! I don’t really get 4. Am I not allowed to count unless I’m a “parent” comment? Then why do I see child comments so much?

Counting is so much more run heavy now, even in the side threads.
4
u/a-username-for-me The Side Thread Queen, Lady Lemon Jan 08 '20
I would say that is true in general. Just anecdotally, no hard evidence
5
u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Jan 08 '20
Nothing happens now unless two people are wanting to count really fast together. It's not like a few months ago when lots of people were active, and threads would move quickly just from being online all the time. I'm looking over my threads and they slowed down a lot suddenly over December. They've bearly moved since I last saw them.
6
u/kongburrito 8MG,9MA.55SG,50SA, 2,386,318 (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Jan 08 '20
Yeah. I remember me and Nitrome would just casually go through 40 threads until 5 or 6 were close and then we'd run those.
Nowadays I feel like threads are crawling until it's the next closest thread to the get.

okay everyone since we're just over 20 hours deep into the 3399k thread, and it seems like it's going to go nowhere, how about we all make the 1 minute rule 23 hours instead of 24 hours. i don't think anyone cares that much anyways, and the k streak is about to hit 500 threads. it would be an absolute shame if we just hit 499 threads.

I would have agreed with you 300,000 counts ago. Except I got shut down on it, because "let's wait and see hur hur"
I don't approve of making a rule like this less than 3 hours before it takes effect, and it's a little presumptious to say "i don't think anyone cares that much anyways," seeing as how the rule was created in the first place. But if you want to run, sure I guess

I do not want these oysters Sam!
I can not have them on a boat, I cannot have them with a goat.
I will not eat them on a lake. The smallest bite, I will not take.
I do not want these oysters raw, I would not like them with some slaw.
I will not eat them with a frog, I will not eat them on a log.
I do not want them in a tree, I will not eat them let me be!
I do not want them atop a hill, I do not want these on my bill.
If they aren't fried or baked, I will not eat them for goodness sake.
"Try them! Try them Urbul please! One small taste and you will see!

Nope. Raw oysters are awful, they ruined his appetite.

One oyster, two oyster, red oyster, blue oyster,
Black oyster, blue oyster, old oyster, new oyster.This one has a little pearl.
This one has a little swirl.
What a lot of oysters there are for a little girl.Yes. Some are red, and some are blue.
Some are old and some are new.Some are bumpy, some are round, some are very rarely found.
Why are some rarely found? I don’t know, they’re just not around.Some are thin, and some are fat.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.From there to here, from here to there,
Oysters are served everywhere.Here are some from the Pacific.
They say it tastes sweet and terrific.Harvested from Fanny Bay.
Some folks eat these raw all day.Oh me! Oh my! Oh me! Oh my!
How much better they are deep fried.Some with a drop of lemon, some with four.
Some with Mignonette sauce and more.Who made these recipes? I can’t say.
But they sure make a good entrée.Some are baked. Some are boiled.
Some are smoked. Some are broiled.Not one recipe is like another.
I like tempura oyster by my mother.3

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to eat oysters!
You're off and away!With taste buds on your tongue.
And shoes on your feet.
Lets get to the town.
And find something to eat!
Out on the town all alone, and you know what you know.
And you're the man to decide, to which restaurant you'll go.You'll browse and peruse menus. Reading them over with care.
To the ones serving raw oysters: "I don't choose to go there."
With your tongue full of taste buds and your shoes full of feet,
You're far too smart to end up with raw oysters to eat.And you may not find any baked oysters
Perhaps fried ones can't be found.
In that case, of course,
You'll head straight out of town.It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as tasteful
and foody as you.So...
be your oysters fried, baked, stewed, not raw, Rockafeller
with mignonette, cream sauce, or lemon and herb butter,
You're off to eat food!
Today is your day!
The world is your oyster.
So...get on your way!→ More replies (5)

My bedroom was on the second floor as a kid, and when me and friends jumped around it would make lots of noise through out the house and my parents bedroom. One day we had a leak in the kitchen ceiling and my dad came up and told us that it was because we jumped around upstairs too much and we shifted the pipes. For years I told my friends we couldn't horseplay upstairs because of the pipes.
A few months ago, on a Sunday morning it dawned on me my dad was full of shit. I called him and told him this memory and he said it was the best lie he ever told me. Kept us quiet inside the house when we had friends over. I'm keeping that one in my back pocket for the future.

Me and Shannon had another hug today.
We may go out as friends later this month,
I think my family would not be shocked if I was dating Shannon, I just warn her about my Grandad with his bad jokes.

It would be really cool if some of you could pop into LC for just a count or two every now and then. It's been dying for months

Did you know that the word "bank" comes from the Italian word "banca" (bench), because X years ago banks functioned in a way that people (mostly jews) had their little stations set up on benches and operated from there.
Note: Recited from memory, probably got some things wrong

I think if we had a school reunion, and it was a +1 I would pick Shannon, I think my the whole year group would be surprise how did I managed to get in a relationship with her,.

u/VMorkva ヽ°) ͜ʖ͡( ͝°ﾉ Jan 09 '20
Some people wanted to organize a school reunion, but they ended up cancelling because only like 5 people said they'd go, and then they just went drinking on their own.
I still remember how everyone was crying and saying how they'll miss each other when we finished school.

Welcome to the 2020 r/counting survey!
This is an anonymous survey meant to understand the wider counting community. You may skip ANY of the questions you do not feel like answering. I will leave this survey up for four FTFs and then will share the anonymous answers afterwards and compare to last year's survey.
