yes it goes on and on my friend! Some people started playing it not knowing what it was- and they'll continue playing it FOREVER JUST BECAUSE-

too lazy to make a leaderboard, so here is some free scraped data for anyone to mess with in json format, split by page.

Can you do this again? or just tell me how you did it so I can do it?

i just wrote a python script to web scrape the post data and do the math to find the longest lasting post. i might do it again cause im bored but i wont promise anything

the part I was confused about was how do you get the data in the first place?

guess who accidentally hyperfocused on a dumb coding project until past midnight! thats me! 🫠

i rewrote my code and now i have a leaderboard sorted by longest holder of the title of "winner". it also has some other interesting data, like the shortest lasting holdings of the title of "winner" and the number of times a person posted in this thread. the funny leaderboard data is in .csv format so you people can open it in your favorite spreadsheet program to mess with the data and stuff.

i would go over some interesting findings with this new data but i really should be going to bed... night night
