I got a message that after 3 days of being on here, I lost my Cowboy hat. Is this good? Bad?
Am I cooked? 🤣

I think the funniest trend I see over and over again is most stackers won’t even reply to you unless you have a cowboy hat at the very least.
Personally if I’ve seen you here before I’ll talk to you. If you have a cowboy hat makes it easier to trust ya for a conversation.

I go through dry spells just cause I get busy with life, but I would pay for a cowboy hat if sn let me.

I lost mine after 36 days.. I was new and it was a big pain in my ass. But decided to be calm and make another streak amd lost one after another. Now I don't care. Better to think it never existed for me. It helped. It's a part of Easter eggs here.

Ah, that explains it. I was active yesterday and zapped, but I don’t think I received too many (which is OK, I’m not here to extract).
I’ll take a similar approach and not think about it too much, haha

That’s the approach I’m going to take too.

Yeah, I'm thankful! I'd better lose it early than later. It would be so much pain to keep it after 200 days or some? Right?

I see you've found another. That's a relief.

What is a Cowboy hat tho? And why did I lose it, how did I find it, and why would I want this? 🤣
Sorry, total noob, and I tried to find the answer in the FAQ but couldn’t and prior posts about this weren’t explainers.

First rule of Stacker News is that we don't explicitly explain how to get a cowboy hat.
Be an upstanding member of society and the universe will reward you with a hat.

I’d like to think I am upstanding, but maybe I’m valuing myself higher than the universe does. 🤣

I should have said "...and the universe might reward you..."

Spend 100 CCs or sats here, and you'll find a cowboy hat. Don't be active for a day, or spend less, or get less than 100 CCs or sats, and you might lose it. I don't know if I'm correct here though.

I’m not good with regular schedules so I always forgot a day here and there.

Seems we all have similar experiences here, so I'd like to know the relevance of having a cowboy hat.
Is it even worth having and of what benefit is it to an SN member cos I just lost mine this recently.

I'd be curious to know about the utility of it, too. From what I gather, it's more of a flex/signal thing.

@metadavid , what do you mean by "a flex/signal thing" ? Cos I lost mine as well on my journey to the west (theoretically speaking, 😂)
