Our site hasn't had a single day go by without an answer posted since 2013

that means the questions are too easy

we must up the ante

Yeah, the last 24-hour period without any posts was Christmas of 2013

Our record for most posts in a day is 347

It was in 2017

wtf happened on that day

@RedwolfPrograms I see 381

Probably a time zone difference

Jun 8th 2017

@RedwolfPrograms Site analytics use UTC time

I'd think that's what SEDE is using too...

Odd

deleted posts maybe?

381 posts, 347 are not deleted. so yes, that is why

@hyper-neutrino 16 questions were asked, 4 of which ended up with more than 50 answers, 2 with more than 100

Obviously not all answers were on that day, but a substantial number would have been

16 q. wow.

yeah the repdigit one got 44 answers on that day alone lol

diagonal alphabet got 62

Also, the two days beforehand got a decent number of questions with large answer numbers

@hyper-neutrino The most questions in a day is 26 :P

huh

vi.stackexchange is graduating

@AaroneousMiller What does vi mean?

@Fmbalbuena Vi & Vim Stack Exchange

Vi and Vim are text editors

oh no i don't

don't grad

Fun fact: vi/vim is also a neopronoun, so the pronoun assistant userscript can be tripped up by that :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing Pronouns: Vi/Vim

perl is a acronym

TIL Google Scholar exists

@AaroneousMiller wdym

It's like google search, but specifically for scholarly articles and scientific papers and whatnot

@Fmbalbuena ok that's because Print(Eval(Read())) Loop

lol

lol

@AaroneousMiller ok star this

@AaroneousMiller Wait is this not common knowledge

(Also google scholar sucks booooooo)

(Well, I guess if you don't have free JSTOR creds from a school or something it's better than nothing)

@RedwolfPrograms I was looking up stuff about Markov chains, and google suggested doing a google scholar search about it.

Like 90% of the stuff on there is paywalled, and it's not even very good at the actual searching part in my experience

@AaroneousMiller NO, the link

recent

antifreeze

Just a hunch, but I don't think you need to antifreeze this room :P

@OriginalOriginalOriginalV hey.

Idk why, but seeing ads for things I already own/have (e.g. I just got an ad for Spotify Wrapped, which I've already spent hours dissecting with my friends) are somehow more annoying than normal ads

@cairdcoinheringaahing somehow annoying but why?

> idk why

They just annoy me much more

but what does the ad look like?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it ws one of those Spotify Wrapped ads on YT, you can probably find it if you look for it

@Fmbalbuena Rooms only freeze after 14 days of nobody talking

@Fmbalbuena ???

@RedwolfPrograms So sometimes people will say something (anything works) every 14 days to keep less active rooms from freezing, and "antifreeze" just makes it clear why they're posting it

@RedwolfPrograms is that Google scholar or jstor?

Google Scholar

Everything on JSTOR can be read freely if you have a (paid, of course, but typically your school will have an account students can use) account

Being a student at my uni lets me access essentially any paper for free :P

^ Yeah, if you go to a college they'll probably have all sorts of resources

Being a member of my state's public library allows me free access to JSTOR lol

Whenever I get a paywall, I just log in through my institution and then very quickly get confused when I read the paper :P

What date did this site graduate?

"Without loss of generality, assume that s = 7. From this, the Riemann Hypothesis is trivially true, and so we conclude that 9 is prime"

@RedwolfPrograms Feb 26th, 2016 IIRC

Fuck, I was close: Feb 23rd, 2016

So 7 * 7 = 9

mod 10, yes

Oh huh, I've got a bunch of pre-2011 dates I need to filter out of my data (I guess from questions migrated from SO?)

Does anyone know what date PPCG was born?

Jan 27th 2011

@cairdcoinheringaahing we've only had 9 elected mods; who's mod 10?

That's when we went into private beta

@hyper-neutrino me, hopefully :P

@hyper-neutrino Jnat

Well, mod 10 used to be pluto

But the definition changed

Now it's just a large room owner

@cairdcoinheringaahing Thanks!

And 7 * 7 = 9 (mod 10)

Yep that makes sense, there's a sudden massive burst of activity on that date

@RedwolfPrograms For what its worth, I list all the relevant site dates (or most of them) in my history of the site

I probably should've checked that yeah, y'all are just a really effective search engine and I'm lazy lol

ಠ_ಠ

I've actually considered trying to use my copy of the TNB transcript as a search engine of sorts

s/dupe/fact finding

@RedwolfPrograms Junetember 60th, 201617

@RedwolfPrograms Especially when I'm on the school bus and have no wifi

2 + 2 = 9, 2 + 2 = 12, 3 + 3 = 4, 4 + 2 = 4

2 + 2 = 9 will never be true

@RedwolfPrograms at least 3

@RedwolfPrograms Let + : Z -> Z be defined such that 2 + 2 = 9, 2 + 2 = 12, 3 + 3 = 4 and 4 + 2 = 4

:P

Is there a spherical cow anywhere nearby? :p

Please don't dump random AI stuff in TNB

The odd message is fine, but don't do more than that :)

Yeah, fair enough

And I guess lyxal gets away with far more than that lol

@RedwolfPrograms This program outputs 9, which according to our site policies can be considered a truthy value. Therefore 2 +2 = 9

@lyxal Yeah LOL

Nothing more scary than losing a pair of scissors in your bed ಠ_ಠ

@RedwolfPrograms because I do it in contextually appropriate situations (mostly :P)

@cairdcoinheringaahing I would like one context please

I don't need a lot of contexts, just one

ctx = Context()

There you go.

One context

I'm trimming my nails, sat in my bed because I live in shitty university accommodation and so my only other option is an uncomfortable chair. I put my scissors down to chat in here for a second. My scissors decide to pretend its a pen, and vanish into a different dimension. Thus, my scissors are lost in my bed

I have found them: they were underneath my stuffed shark

At least it's not a worse thing to lose in your bed like snakes, other people's prosthetics, or uninsulated live wires

@cairdcoinheringaahing Does the stuffed shark have a name?

Yes, blahaj

I'm not creative with names

proof of 1+(4*5) is 5 because This

@cairdcoinheringaahing you're lucky you're still alive then. If blahaj was in a bad mood rn you could've been shanked in your own room :p

@Fmbalbuena Due to the principle of explosion, IIRC you can prove literally anything is true if you assume 2 + 2 = 9 :p

blahaj is never in a bad mood, they're always smiling :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing this you? (:P)

I'm feeling very attacked right now :P

wait how is that an attack kekw

The :3 emoticon does not get enough usage here

together we can change that

I would but I'm canonically a wolf :3

@cairdcoinheringaahing I now can find out exactly where you are:

@hyper-neutrino i have found a lot of animes liking blajah

:P

@lyxal I mean, I have publicly stated what university I go to, in this chatroom, and there's only one ikea here :P

@RedwolfPrograms as you can see, 2 + 2 definitely equals 9

@lyxal Even better, Scala, 0 bytes: `` (implicit) :P

@hyper-neutrino 🤨

@RedwolfPrograms This is much more affordable for me, thanks!

@lyxal vyxal.pythonanywhere.com/…

Interesting, CGCC's activity seems to surge in the summer then fall pretty rapidly when fall hits

Hmm, almost as if a good chunk of CGCC's users are in high school and have more free time then :P

CGCC activity over time

Congrats, you have successfully gotten the 25k rep privilege :P

That spike in 2021 is nice to see

The Incident had much less of an impact that I thought, seems that the main decay in activity had already happened long before then

^

Yeah, we were already on a decline in activity before Monica was fired

Seems like the decline was practically over by 2019 though
