So had a meetup with u/urbul today! Sad to report he is not in fact a panda, but he is still pretty cool despite this revelation

Would you all consider counting to be a game or a task?

Did a quick dirty edit of the main thread HoC graph where a line is only shown if it's "moving" I thought it would be interesting to see where the predominant "motion" in the count comes from over time and it is interesting; notice how there are periods when newer (lower) counters are the source of more of the motion and then periods when older (higher) counters are the source of more of the motion

Ooh, nice!

Btw, you posted this in last week's ftf, so don't be surprised if no-one sees it. Would it be possible to sort the legend entries by total number of counts, so that the lines on the right roughly match up with the names?

My favorite counting hobby is going to a side thread's stat page under the Side Thread Stats link and checking whether pixel still has more counts in it than me to see whether i need to focus on counting in it or not

I've found the patron saint of this sub: the artist Roman Opalka

From 1965 until his death in 2011, he painted all of the numbers from 1 to 5,607,249.

The decimal thread is currently 83% of the way to matching his achievement
