@elvismercury was talking about the stress of maintaining or losing his hat recently. Collectivly we give it meaning, though it's sort of meaningless.

Are we starting a revolution?
Did you hide your hat?
What hat?
Seriously, I hide everything right now. I'm talking about how meaningless a hat is, but I still value it. I'm trying to convince myself. Maybe valueless is going too far. It does recognize a certain commitment to SN, I guess.
I'm not saying that you have a hat, or that you've had one longer than anyone else, but if you did have a hat, would you be able to see it while hiding it from others?
Lol are you asking for a friend?
Yesπ
I am surprised to have made 51 days.
Its gone by so fast!
To each their own.
The hat signifies your own journey.
Yes. Really what I have been thinking about is, I guess depending on your personality, these types of things can gain importance which is illogical, disproportionate, and maybe unhealthy. I'm suspectible to thisπ
Not just you, everyone.
Thats why we all strive to keep the hat.
hahah, since last year? a silent revolution π
be the change! and ppl should't feel bad about losing an imaginary hat.
I have lost mine today after 33 days. Just a bad day yesterday.
How do you feel about it? I guess the correct response would be oh well, no big deal. I think the longer you have been on SN, and the greater your commitment, the more this stuff matters.
No problems, I understand that I was disconnected yesterday. Itβs impossible to be online everyday.
You are emotionally healthy, unlike some of usπ
Yeah, just ok. By the way , just founded again the hat!! π€£
I don't understand why the hat should force someone to come here. Is it so important?
I mentioned yesterday that it reminds me of a corporate job where there is some kind of fake status or award that provides no tangible benefit but everyone wants. It's given meaning by the culture.
I noticed that many corporate ppl do love those fancy awards so that they can brag about it and post on socials hahha π
maybe that's why I happily dropped out of that corporate ladder
Me too. I was done with that early on.
It's a good analogy. The hat only costs a few minutes a day and 100 sats. π€
and an unpeaceful mind when you find out you forgot to maintain it or lost it.
but anyways, maybe I should STFU, ppl are free to choose whatever game they want to play.
Cowboy hat = how much you are active on SN.. Just that.
But the hat only shows you the tip of the iceberg, like the news - do you think that's all happening? π
