This is a thread for random discussions that gets posted everyday at 5am central.

Tell us what you're doing today, ask questions, or vent about your life. Whatever you want, let it rip!

Just realized my two favorite movies/stories are identical in all but relatively superficial ways:

  1. Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (1971 furshur)
  2. Ready Player One
reply

The moral of each is basically: be honest, good, and determined -> reward

The story of each is basically: someone honest, good, and determined is rewarding you their work for being similar

It's the story of finding your soulmentor or something.

I guess that means we need a parallel plot to Stacker News.

Will https://outer.space also achieve product-market fit in its 1st year? Tune in next month & keep poking @k00b to find out..

IDEA: Run an evil twin of Stacker News called "Slacker News"... it will only show content that is wasting time. It will encourage people to stop working and pushing, and just slack. It will discourage use of bitcoin.

The barista put enough expresso shots in my ice coffee that I'm effectively lobotomized.

reply

It is quite interesting: today is so crowded, yet yesterday was so quiet.

I wonder what is the difference besides @nemo is back 🧐

reply

i guess you mean "yesterday was so quiet" at the beginning

it also had 100+ comments, just not before @birdeye wakes up, lol

@k00b Can we get more than 30 characters for the poll options? I have a poll I want to submit, but each option requires more than 30 characters.

reply

Pretty idiotic that a person that posts ASCII art of a snail gets top comment every day. Do they get the top comment sat rewards as well? Are the rewards that easily gamed or has comment quality really gone down that much?

reply

i give sats to the snail because of the consistency to show up

reply

Buddy, what's the problem? I make an effort to be here early everyday. I don't spam and I keep it respectful. I would never feel bad if you or anyone else got the rewards. I really haven't done anything wrong so I don't understand why the negative comment towards me. No hard feelings, though.

reply

Don't take it personally. You do you.

reply

Unfortunately just spend money...
I mean what else can you do? Everything costs at least 3 times more than 3 years ago.
Making money is harder than ever. Only online gambling and crypto industry is rising little bit. All other things are just falling.

reply

I found out a friend of mine died in a car accident yesterday. Feels bad man. Something something time preference. Hug your loved ones people.

Very very cool

reply

Thanks, was too lazy to do this for @orthwyrm here, lol

But why only since May?

And I see, we must have more coments tomorrow to keep the streak going

reply

gpt was having trouble with the full set of data for whatever reason

I mainly just wanted to convey that recent exponential growth anyway, comments ranged around 10-40 for a long time prior to August from what I glanced at

Another day stacking cheap sats to cold storage. An exciting part of this bear market I hope to look back on!

reply

at least i was able to trigger the bug, lol. i wanted to reply to this comment using reply on another page

so it must be related to reply on another page

So it comes up at the bottom of the thread ‘reply on another page’… so I click that and enter this comment.

reply

I just tried the same but it worked for me

or maybe not, idk, lol

You can start your target practice on this comment ;)

Aaaaah, it's still 11:59 on my clock!

reply

Lol. Better change the time on that clock.

reply

It's the clock on my computer, it should be synchronized using NTP

Maybe SN has to provide their own NTP server to make it a fair game, lol :)

Beware the Jabberwock
