@ek encouraged me to make a special post to commemorate my 6969th post on Stacker News. I'm a family man, so I surely have no idea why that number would have any significance. I believe he was sad to discover that he just missed out on his own 6969.
Anyway, as many are reflecting on their lessons learned from MSM, to me it only reinforced what Stacker News is all about: mutual satisfaction.
If you're only earning sats and not zapping others, not only are you letting them down, you're letting yourself down. @k00b has designed a feedback system that rewards giving as well as receiving.
Likewise, if you're just zapping away, but not commenting or posting, you're not just foregoing potential zaps and rewards, you're denying others the opportunity to show their appreciation by reciprocating.
I hope that was vaguely suggestive enough for you, @ek, you degenerate.
This isn't your 6969th post according to the item count in your profile 👀

So sad that it left me speechless.
I would add here that some stackers mentioned that they do notice and remember if they don't get zapped back. It's like some form of unwritten rule around here: if you get zapped in a thread with someone, you zap back; at least as a "I have read your reply"-zap. Amount is negotiable.
This is a random way to bring this up but I have a feature request…

Lame Excuse 1: You can't commemorate something before it's happened.
Lame Excuse 2: I was managing a bunch of different conversations and lost count.
You're right to point out that you have to give if you expect to receive. How are you not married? You seem like a wise young man.
Maybe I'm having too much fun on my own already
probably why you missed your own 6969
I am about to reach 16000 items on SN.
Let's see the results when I will have 16969 items.
1000 items is peanuts for me...
I try to keep a balance in my zapping.
Balance into The Force is key.
69 represent Ying and Yang too...

didn't know this.
People that think is sexual related are the perfect example of brainwashing machine that is running nowadays, trying to hide or minimize the real aspects of this symbol that goes waaaay long even before humans ever existed.
Just think about 2 atoms, creating a fusion reaction.
Wait, what else does it mean?
you anticipated me
On the holiest of Easter days you sully the sanctity of mutual zapping with your sexual innuendo.
I for one am appalled.
I found it hard to comprehend this 😳
Is that what it is? @ek is such a pervert!
Wait. So what exactly are we talking about?
I guess @ek was playing with @Undisciplined to do something for this cool number 6969, and @Undisciplined decided to write something for fun, and then realized he actually missed the 6969. 👀
but then I don't get this #488667 from @grayruby
Your next comment or post will be your 10301th item.
A number palindrome! Choose your next words carefully, @siggy47.

You have conquered your fear!
No idea
I used to think 69 was a thinly veiled reference to a sexual act, but when I asked about its significance on r/cc, I learnt that 69 referred to Bitcoin’s ATH in late 2022. Perhaps we ought to have a new mental model now that Bitcoin has surpassed past that.
Well if my experience on r/cc is anything to go by, it’s a good idea to capitalise on anything 69 related because that would attract a lot of attention (and correspondingly, upvotes/zaps) from other users. Yes, Sensei can be savvy at playing this shitposting game hahaha
At least one person's mind isn't in the gutter...at least not all the way.
Well, the title made me think about some written version of 69.
Then I went searching for the importance of this number and look what I found out.

Congratulations on your 6969 post, it's a very big milestone, I guess 10000 posts are just around the corner.

Important wisdom for all of us, thanks to you both.
You're about to have 2244 posts 👀
We aim to please.
If this becomes a trend, we're in trouble ðŸ¤
I'm just now realizing that I should have added some AI generated "art" to give the post a bit more pizazz.

Much more tasteful than one might have expected
I cut my zapping right back in March as I'm more of a zapper than a commenter or thread starter, and with the daily rewards disappearing, I'm running out of sats!
I would do the exact opposite and commemorate 9696 if I reach there.
Thanks for the idea!!
All I can say is: Nice.
