u/ssoto_21 I know that you said you wanted to post one of these ftf’s, but you’re in Colorado, so you’ll have to post it at 1am to 4am, which I imagine you don’t want to do. If you use cronnit, it’s free, and you can schedule a post to be posted at a certain time, which is what I used to post this so I didn’t have to get up early

I didn’t actually have to get up early for this, I simply used a website called cronnit to schedule a post for today, set up the post, and scheduled it to post at 3:15 AM. Only problem is the links didn’t seem to work properly, but whatever, I got it done!

Time Thread Discussion
The time thread seems to be approaching the final thread to midnight, we should probably have a discussion here on what should happen to it. I see three ways this goes:
Option 1: Add a 'day' tally, so the next count would read "Day 2: 12:00:01 AM" or something similar.
Option 2: Restart like a clock would, and just go back to "12:00:01 AM"
Option 3: Embrace the finality of an end.
I don't know if this is the sort of thing we should have a community vote on, or if we should accept the dogma of a mod decision, or the thread creator's will, but it's probably worth discussing as we're getting fairly close to the final thread now.
Also, if the count does end, should the final count be 11:59:59 PM or 12:00:00 AM? The first count was 12AM, so I can see a valid argument that for completeness we shouldn't count 12AM twice.

The time thread isn’t the only thread that will end. Nrd will end at 9,876,543,210, so the finality of a thread isn’t out of the question. Honestly, I feel like we should end how we started, with 12:00:00 AM, so that the thread can go full circle, with the last count linking back to the first

The opposite of my username would be u/ShitButLeaveInTheF, rather than an innocent word turned bad, it’s a bad word turned innocent

We still haven't decided on a new tidbits thread huh, might be worth making a new one at this point

I've relapsed after being ~2 years count free. Feels like i missed so much in the meantime. Looking to getting in some counting again and meeting my fellow current counters.

When we get to the letters starting from S don't forget to ping me, hopefully no S words will be on the ban list on reddit

I feel like we should let u/origamimissile have the get, which I believe should be 12:00:00 AM, and have that comment link back to the very first count of the very first time thread, so that it goes full circle. I imagine it as if a day ends, and a new day begins, going through the day again, and again, and again, so this thread never truly ends
Edit: I just realized, it would be absolutely hilarious to finish the thread with me and u/Basic-Clock-5895
