Wrote this for my students and thought I would just post it here. Have a great week stacking!

We like our school motto, “Never give up”. It inspires us to stay strong.

Yesterday, we had Reading Tuesday. Our English teacher read to us a story about beginnings.

When he saw the word ‘flowers’, he shared Hiroshima’s bombing with us. He told us that red canna flowers bloomed after the bombing. It represents the “never-give-up” spirit.

We were delighted to learn something new. From now on, when we need to persevere, we will think of the canna flower.

Guess my previous reply about the topic of heroes did have a lasting impression.

And even though I know we're mostly just having fun here — I think you're like me: you also like to just have some fun occasionally — I wanted to discuss this topic a bit more seriously. So I created a post for it now :)

That blog post explains it a lot better than I can with my current time and writing skill constraints.

You know, I think you should have a bad song contest on the music territory. I can't imagine what form it would take, but it might be fun.

375 sats \ 1 reply \ @Public_N_M_E 9 Jan

i'm curious to work out how that would look, in a fun but not shitty way. music is very subjective and people have their opinions on things, some groups get quite militant about what is and isn't good. i'm not sure i'd want to encourage or even invite the opportunity for people to be toxic about something someone else had submitted.

eg. i submit a track and say this is crap and heres why, but turns out it's your favourite song. i wouldn't want to begin offending people because i'm effectively saying their opinion is "wrong" or "shit" or they "don't know what they're talking about". or it could be interpreted in that way, light hearted banter is difficult to do via a text based forum, tone doesn't come across effectively and i don't want to be inviting that kind of negative discussion to the space. but there is a difference between having a joke and being negative or potentially hurtful.

however having said that, i do think we could have a light hearted bounty post. post the worst song competition? light hearted and the highest zapped submission takes the bounty? that way it's not really about discussing peoples views on the track, it's just kinda not taking it seriously. it will certainly require some careful thought about how to do without getting peoples backs up.

what would we call it? "Shit Song Saturday?" 🤣

That's the guy, and that's his best known song. I went to a baseball World Series Game in Baltimore in 1979. During the 7th inning stretch he came out on top of the Orioles dugout to sing Thank God I'm a Country Boy, a really bad song.

Fun hack of today

@ekzyis failed to deliver his promise on decoding the rankings, so I'm taking the burden onto myself 👀

I always wanted to understand how the top posts/comment ranking works, and here is my findings: basically each stacker has one vote, but the real interesting part about this vote is each with a different weight, I guess it has something to do with the trust score; and I've noticed this for a while, e.g. 2 high trusted stackers > 8 good trusted stackers, but then 10 good trusted stackers > 2 high trusted stackers, it's like the combination of the power, dancing with each other, so cool.

Another hack I've learnt is you can guess your own trust by seeing the rank of the comments that you've zapped, and ofc guessing others' trust.

would you to learn more hacks? I'm writing a more detailed article on the art of stacking, with many unshared analyzes and insights, zap if you want to read it; Or shall I sell it? so "secrets remain secrets".

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 9 Jan

Also, I still haven't understood why sometimes we get rewards for top posts/comments and other times it's for zaping early. cc @ekzyis

because it's being experimented atm, either rewarding the top posts/comments or those who zapped top posts/comments early.

it's actually random ( you can kinda of guess it tho - 50% chance 😂 ) but the honest way to do it is keep creating + zapping = stacking.
