From here

Thank you so much to vulp for the assist! And thanks to everyone for not sniping me, I really thought sniping was gonna happen here!

999k rule: because this is such a monumental thread, there are some rules. You must wait until your most recent comment is 2 MINUTES OLD before making another count. This is not a strict rule, but if you break it repeatedly I imagine the mods will do something. This rule expires once this post is 24 hours old

Honestly, I’m honored to be the one posting this thread, it’s very special to me, and I’m excited to see who will be getting 5 MILLION!!!!!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

Hey folks,

Unfortunately I must interrupt your trek to reach infinity. The comment system is not designed to handle continually growing threads such as this, and the current size is starting to cause site-wide problems. :(

Unfortunately the journey must end here. Perhaps one day, when humans discover a way to complete an NP-complex problem in P-time, you can restart your epic quest. Until then, an infinity comment thread will have to remain in the realm of dreams.

Welcome to /r/counting, where we collaboratively count for counting's sake.

Here are some useful links and info from the subreddit's sidebar that don't show up in many mobile browsers:

LINKS:

  1. https://old.reddit.com/r/counting/comments (OPEN THIS LINK IN A BROWSER TO SEE THE LATEST COUNTS AND START COUNTING)

  2. Hall of Counters (counters ranked by number of counts in the main thread)

  3. Hall of Fame (counting leaderboard and a historical record)

  4. Thread Directory (all of the active counting threads)

  5. FAQ (frequently asked questions)


SUBREDDIT RULES & ETIQUETTE:

  1. If you're counting, upvote your fellow counting comrades.

  2. NO double-commenting (replying to yourself).

  3. Continue the counting chain from the earliest comment with the correct number.

  4. Before creating a new thread, please check the thread directory to make sure that type of thread doesn't already exist.

  5. To prevent Reddit server strain, create a new thread after the current thread has approximately 1000 counts in a comment chain.

  6. Counting bots/scripts are not permitted and will be banned - please report counting comments made by bots. Ask a moderator if you are not sure about something.

  7. Do not delete your valid counts (when they're already a part of the valid chain).

  8. Do not use inbox counting to achieve a get (000) or assist (999). Inbox counting is using your inbox to reply to a incoming PM/comment.

  9. Play fairly. No cheating.


Happy counting!

Welcome, New Counters!

179 Upvotes

Since we have another massive influx of new counters, it's time to again remind everyone of our rules. Yes, we do have rules here.

Now, first things first. We have 4 simple rules right on the side-bar. These rules pertain to our main threads. Read them. If we see certain users causing too much of a ruckus, well, let's just say they won't be causing that ruckus anymore.

To add to those 4 rules, if you notice you have created a duplicate number, and your is a later number, please delete it. If a mod is counting, they usually try to remove, but if you could take the time to remove them yourself, it would make the counting go much easier. And it hurts Reddit less (yeah, we have been known to break Reddit...)

In addition to those rules, please adhere to the following for creating new posts:

  1. ALWAYS search for the topic you plan on making. If it already exists, don't post it again. This includes 'counting by 1' threads. We have the main thread, stick to that for your counting by 1 needs. This includes posts like "Let's count to 1,000 in one hour!" - these posts impossible, boring, and repetitive. The only way your post will be accepted is if you have an award for reaching the number.

  2. Going on the last part of the previous rule. If you say you will gift someone something, you better follow through. Failure to do so will revoke your access to this subreddit.

  3. If you don't know if your post is acceptable, send us a mod-mail. We'll help you out as best we can!

If you guys see anything wrong, or questionably wrong, report AND send us a mod-mail! Reporting is all well and good, but we rarely check the reports...

But that should be enough for rules. Thank you all for joining us in this lovely subreddit! You may introduce yourself now, if you wish. And if you have any questions, now is a great time to do so!

Update: Because some of you either didn't read this, or are trying to be funny, we have changed our posting settings. For the time being, only mods can submit new posts. If a person reaches a 1k GET, message the mods and we will post the new thread.

Thank you goes to /u/basskro for the run from 000 and assist. Got a time of 28:01, not quite my personal best but still good.

2999k rule:

You may only post a count every two minutes. That means your last two counts should more than two minutes between each other.

Next get is at 3,000,000. Good luck.

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millenia

83 Upvotes

Count in the title format, with the actual number of seconds in parentheses at the end:

15 seconds, 12 minutes (735)

If it's a round number of minutes or hours, you can omit the 0 fields part from the beginning, aka:

13 minutes (780)

First get is 20 minutes (1200)

Unless that is too many comments, please let me know and I will change it.

Backstory:

Night before last my power went out at 3:30AM. I can't sleep without power, since I use a machine to keep me breathing, and without it my brain wakes me up because I start suffocating. I couldn't read anything or do any chores in the dark, but also couldn't sleep, so I sat on the couch and meditated by counting the ticks from the battery operated wall clock in the kitchen. I counted to 3600, which is 1 hour.

I also do this while I'm waiting for the bus, to compare the arrival time the app tells me to the actual arrival time and to give myself something to do while I'm waiting that won't take my eyes off the road. Which is why my flair is "waiting for the bus".
