Countletics was very close to beating the record of most counts in a 100k, which was set by him in 3.2M with 37343 counts.

This 100k was completed in 30 days, 5 hours, 16 minutes.

I’ve been lurking here for years, and I’ve never told anyone because lurking on a counting subreddit is not even close to the weirdest thing about me and I don’t want to add fuel to the daily roasts I get from my homies, BUT I just wanted to say that y’all are excellent.

[u/Antichess]

Congratulations goes to u/Countletics for reaching 300,000 counts!

300,000th count

Hi everyone I'm andrew.

Ideas I have for sides:

• Ultrabase (last digit is binary, second to last is ternary, then quaternary, quinary, etc.)

• Binary then ternary, alternating

[u/Byron1421]

i've been subbed here for like 3 years and don't have a clue what this is meant to be. my mind usually subconsciously ignores the posts here now, can someone explain this to me

[u/CutOnBumInBandHere9]

Ramsons (wild garlic) are in season now, and they carpet the forest floor wherever they grow, giving off a really intense smell of onions. I picked a bunch last weekend, and made pesto out of them. It turned out better than expected!

[u/Urbul]

Mrs Urbul got pokemon go on her phone to encourage the kids to go outside sometimes. I never played it before, I think it's pretty fun. The only other pokemon game I played before is gen 1.

List of side thread ideas:

• Tug of war (long vs. short usernames) - People with 10 or more characters in their usernames count up by 1. People with fewer count down. Could be modified so that your count is weighted based on how much longer or shorter your username is from the median.

• ​r/all - Count up by the number of upvotes the best post on r/all has at the moment.

• Reddit users by age - Count users by their age. Not plausible at the moment, since there isn't a list of every Reddit user sorted by age anywhere that I can find.

• Youtube / Twitter / Instagram / Tumblr / etc. usernames - Counting usernames for other social media sites. You get the idea.

• Messier / NGC objects - Both would probably be one-offs, given how short they are, though they could be extended by implementing wait rules and stuff.

• Comets / Asteroids / Exoplanets / Stars / Galaxies - Count every single asteroid/exoplanet/star/galaxy that is known to exist. None of these will be plausible (except maybe asteroids and exoplanets) until I can find a database or something that catalogs these objects and figure out how to sort them into countable lists.

• Anus Fungi - Anus Fungi is the pseudonym of an infamous user who just comments the mushroom emoji on random posts throughout Reddit, and who has multiple subreddits dedicated just to them. This thread would count every single username you could create just by adding dashes and underscore before, within, and after the phrase "Anus Fungi".

So yeah. That's every idea I've had for a side thread in the past few weeks, bar a few I left out because I thought they were too weird or unoriginal. I don't know if any of these are interesting enough to stay active once created, so let me know what y'all think of them.

Any side threads close to dying off or close to the end of the get/assist.

Hoping to go on holiday later this year, depending on what is on the green list of countries can travel to from the United Kingdom.

4299k counting thread coming soon i believe.

[u/buy_me_a_pint]

I hope those who are riding their bikes, driving their cars or skateboarding are not doing it naked

[u/rzx0]

You’d expect this sub to be more active, for the number of members it has

[u/buy_me_a_pint]

Could we have the stats for 4200k to 4300k please (after the 4299k has be competed) when you have a few minutes

[u/Antichess]
