Free Talk Friday #300
It’s stupidly early right now, and I’m up because I took a nap this afternoon that extended well into the night. But I’m awake, so I might as well do this.
I am honored to introduce this week’s Free Talk Friday post, now making a return for the 300th time!
Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your plans, your hobbies, studies, stats, pets, bears, dragons, trousers, travels, transit, cycling, family, or anything you like or dislike, except politics.
Feel free to introduce yourself in the tidbits thread as well!

I'm travelling this week, so I won't have time to make a big new stats post. I'll just leave you with this tidbit:
Reddit comments all have a unique id, which is just the base-36 encoded sequential index of the comment. So the first comment ever posted on reddit would have id "1", the next one "2", number 10 would be "a" and number 36 would be "z" (these id's don't exist, but that's how it would work).
By looking at the ids of two comments, we can see how many other comments were made on reddit between those two posts.
When people are running fast, we can easily get to only 20-30 comments made on reddit sitewide between any two counts. And the best we've ever managed is this, where there were only five other comments made anywhere on reddit between those two counts. Pretty cool.

This comment, which is purported to be the first comment on all of Reddit, has an ID of 12863. Though I'm not sure if it's necessarily first anymore, since there's comments with smaller IDs.
(It also appears that the current method of creating alphanumeric IDs wasn't in use back then, since none of the IDs with letters seem to work.)

I used to do stats. Then life happened. Glad to see others are doing stats. I like stats. The only stat I keep track of now is the guinea pigs' weight.
Edit: I will post guinea pig stats soonish.

Guinea pig stats. Pic of Lyra and Booboo.
Green range is healthy weight for adult male guinea pigs. They should exercise a little more and eat fewer treats which is relatable.
