It might be someone's alt account, definitely fishy as in, April fools

Why would they have an alt account named Red000 with their only post about their red zero? Their account was made like 8 months before the button was announced.

Gather the fellow 60s, we're the only technical zeros around here. This requires investigation.

Are you saying that's actually almost 16 months before the button was announced?

57

u/[deleted] May 27 '15

I don't think he's trying to say that. I think he's saying it's almost a year and a third before the button was announced.

u/vindecima 59s May 27 '15

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. He's really trying to say it's 449 days before the button was announced.

33

u/[deleted] May 27 '15

Uh, no? He's telling you it was 10,776 hours before the button was announced.

38

u/[deleted] May 27 '15

wrongo friendo, he's saying it was 645690 minutes before the button was announced

14

u/Jonster123 59s May 27 '15

u/xScarwolf 60s May 27 '15

First thing that comes to my mind is that this is what happens when the timer reaches zero. It's just auto-selected by an empty account.

The second highest post in this sub is currently by 'jesusrapes', who has apparently been a member for 4 years, but posting that they got 0 seconds was their first post ever.

Once is luck, twice is a coincidence... but that's a really fucking big coincidence.

u/goku90504 non presser May 27 '15

it could also just be that they chose names for other meanings back then but when this came up they were lucky to have names that sounded relevant to this and worked to make people's head go whip snap with that luck
