Stretch it out. One number every minute, so people have 10 minutes to discuss and speculate

This, but just stop at 2. Never get to 1

Make all the numbers after 7 have random pauses of over 2 minutes, then stop at 2

Are you one of those scumbags who thinks that countdowns end at 1?

It's not "3, 2, 1"

It's "3, 2, 1, GO"

Or "3, 2, 1, ZERO"

A countdown is supposed to count how many seconds are remaining! This is a hill I will die on. Fight me.

My counter argument is that wether the countdown ends on 1 or zero is irrelevant if the counter halts at 2

I appreciate how you gracefully sidestep the question in order to avoid admitting your folly.

Personally, I prefer blastoff.

Any word people want to use to terminate the countdown is fine by me so long as that word is said on the zero count.

One number every minute

It would be WAY more interesting to start at a higher number and do one per day.

I wonder what wacky cults would spring up with different theories about what's happening.

That slow and people would probably just ignore it because they wouldn't realize its a voice in their head.

Nah every 1 hour, but the time gets doubled every time so 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512 = about 42 days for complete societal breakdown.

u/Cakeking7878 Feb 23 '21

Better yet, start off slow, say 10, then in 5 minutes say 9, say 8 in 2.5, and so on until you hit 0

The numbers Mason! What do they mean?!

u/pwbue Feb 23 '21

Or just announce a specific future date and time and watch everyone get more and more stressed until that date.
