When will the 3 millionth quip be posted?

Asked by Brian1946 (32535points) July 17th, 2014

As of this question, there have been 2,996,247 quips (generally answers) posted at Fluther.

On what date do you think # 3 million will be posted? If you like, try to guess the time too.

If you want to guess something really random, who do you think will post it?

It’s most likely be a spammer. July 28th will be the 3 millionth quip.

Given that several hundred quips are created each day, there’s not very much time. I’ll give it a week or so.

I quipped counting a long time ago.

How did you manage to count all of those?

They used a computer @Mimishu1995

@Mimishu1995 Ya know how you can click on the little ¶ to link to a specific post. Well that link, yours for example will have numbers after it. That tells you what quip it is
http://www.fluther.com/173961/when-will-the-3-millionth-quip-be-posted/#quip2996329

So your quip asking how he managed to count was the 2,996,329th response on fluther.

@augustlan should make the three-millionth quip.

Mimishu1995's avatar

Stupid question: what will be the prize for the person with the 3 millionth quip ? :P

johnpowell's avatar

I got the millionth. The long answer is.. not much.

dxs's avatar

I hope it’s me!

El_Cadejo's avatar

It’s gonna be me
sorry couldn’t resist making such a bad joke :P

@johnpowell Holy shit, that was awesome.

rojo's avatar

Before the end of the year. I estimate it to be on November 23, 2014 at 11:34 am.

I care not one jot.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@PhiNotPi Or we can stop banning spam accounts and hit 3mil by tomorrow :P

Mimishu1995's avatar

Just spotted and flagged some potential spam posts :P

rojo's avatar

Are we there yet?

rojo's avatar

How ‘bout now?

rojo's avatar

Maybe this is the one?

Tropical_Willie's avatar

3400 to go . . .

Brian1946's avatar

My guess is July 25.

I’m also guessing that very few people will have any incentive to post # 3 million, so it may as well be me.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@Brian1946 I don’t think we will pay much attention then. It takes such a long time.

snowberry's avatar

I hovered over, then clicked on the little ¶, and I don’t get any numbers.

So what number are we on now? Did we already hit it? Ah, I found it after all! At the time of my writing it, this quip is #2997228.

Dan_Lyons's avatar

Now #quip2997188

Mimishu1995's avatar

#quip2997239

Brian1946's avatar

This is quip # 2,997,363

rojo's avatar

Guys! Slow down! It is a long time until 23 Nov. (my guess).

rojo's avatar

Based on @Brian1946 ‘s quip, plus @cookieman ‘s we need to keep it to about 21 quips per day. Ok?

August second, 2014 2:14 PM according to the clocks in New York City.
It will be posted by @ragingloli, and it will be really disgusting. It will be posted in answer to a question asked by @rojo. My internet signal will be non existant, and I will miss the whole thing, finally getting back to Fluther two days later.
If I’m right, do I win a car?

El_Cadejo's avatar

It will more than likely happen tomorrow, my guess is around 7EST.

Mimishu1995's avatar

I have to get there!

dxs's avatar

We’re getting close! 796 to go!

rojo's avatar

@Jonesn4burgers You’re already a winner.

dxs's avatar

It’s past 3MM! Whodunnit?

Brian1946's avatar

# 3 million was posted on July 25, at about 11:30 AM.

dxs's avatar

Jonesn4burgers's avatar
