The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!
HOW TO PLAY
1. Count by ones from 1 to 100 in 100 consecutive posts according to the Core Rules.
2. Restart the count from 1 after:
a. a Moderator (or an Administrator) makes a stopping post (post without counting) if users and Knights are counting..
b. a user or Knight or Warden makes a stopping post (post without counting) if Moderators and Administrators are counting.
c. breaking a core rule, spamming, or cheating.
d. reaching 100.
3. Announce why you restart the count so other counters don't get confused.
NOTE: For the time being, Moderators are allowed to help Users count, so as long as the other rules are observed you do not need to restart the count if you see a mod count. However, if a Moderator makes a stopping post, i.e. a post without counting (not the same as a non-count post since they're technically different teams), it is considered an interruption and the count will restart.
CORE RULES
No mistakes. A count must start from 1 and increase by ones up to 100, save for exceptions noted.
No double-counting. No counter may count two consecutive numbers.
No back-to-back counting. No two counters may alternate for more than three consecutive numbers.
Okay: P1 P2 P1 P3
Not Okay: P1 P2 P1 P2
Okay: P1 P2 reset P1 P2
No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.
ADDiTiONAL RULES
No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
Multiple one- or two-word counts may also disqualify a count.
No "cheating". This shouldn't need to be said. Counting to 100 doesn't count if you cheat.
This is an exercise in teamwork, not rule bending.
No "spoiling". Don't mess with the count. Posts should start with the correct number.
Posts with no numbers should be ignored. See also: No non-counts.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
No "spilping". If this is your first post in this thread, please post "I'm new and here to count to 100!"
No non-counts. No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that number if that counting number is not at the start of the post.
COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.

Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".
END GAME
Once you reach 100, you start this Sisyphean task all over again back at 1. Users should notify the Commissioner of the Count (HahiHa) that the count reached 100 and the Commissioner will review it to make sure there were no mistakes or cheating. If there were no mistakes or cheating, then the users who took part in the successful count to 100 will get a shiny new Quest!

12. 110 on average? No way. I could get used to such temperatures if I lived on a tropical island and didn’t have to work.
13. I can barely move my legs... I think it's time to go to sleep.
(14) 110? That's too hot for me. Where I live, the average daytime temperature in the summer is about 86ºF (30ºC). I can get used to that temperature.
15. Fun fact I remember from my 8th grade textbook: 110F is the temperature at which the proteins in your blood start to cook like egg whites. Think I'll go for Pacific Northwest.
Actually, no. Too many hippies.
I have made my decision. I will live in Idaho and try not to freeze to death.
16. Silly Sciller!
Our internal body temperature is constant!
Your blood proteins wouldn't cook, man!
But to be honest... I prefer cold weather... o.o
17. He meant a fever. AFAIR, 107 Fahrenheit up damages proteins in neurons.
For me Hawaii could be just right, the perfect temperature all year long.
18. I almost passed out from heat exhaustion once...of course that was in California
Also I heard KatPryde left?
19. Kat deleted her account without any warning a month ago. Sciller contacted her, so we know she did that, because she wasn’t systematic with posting.
Just realized I happen to know a specialist in the field of proteins. Madame @kalisenpai could resolve any doubts about proteins during high fevers, if she could be so generous
20. Indeed, 42ºC is the limit in which the vast mayority of your proteins and enzymes (that are also proteins) will denaturate. So, some further explanation...
The function of a protein is determined by its 3D estructure. If it loses it, it won't work. Denaturation consists on the lose of such 3D estructure, mainly because the protein was in extreme conditions (high temperature, extreme pH...).
There are two types of denaturation: reversible (e.g. when you straighen your hair) or irreversible (e.g. when you fry an egg). In the first case, tha hair loses it's estruture, but it can reverse to its natural position with time. In the second case, you can't "unfry" an egg.
At 42ºC, most of your proteins (and probably also you DNA and RNA) will denature, your cells will die and, if you don't die, you'll probably have a lot of long term damages
21. Well, uh, I once cut my thumb while cutting tomatoes and I almost passed out. There's actually still a scar. And it was like 1-2 millimetres deep. Can't imagine what would happen if my body temperature was 104 F. Thanks for the final push, kali.
I think I'd rather pass out from hypothermia. 'cause when I start to feel hot, I can freely throw away the jackets (and freeze to death).
@armorplayergc Yeah, but you'd have to sweat all the time to lose the heat. And I don't like water. I don't trust all the chemicals inside it. Did you know that H2O is one oxygen atom away from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)?
Yeah, that's right.
Still want to drink it?
22. Yeah still want to drink it, because H2O2 is structurally unstable by default so they break down over time. So you could obtain water by breaking down H2O2, just that it's not worth drinking it while there are still some concentration left for H2O2.
The way your statement say is like "You know CO is one atom away from CO2?" Well CO2 won't kill you in moderate amount but CO will.
23. Yeah, but both will kill you, won't they? Don't you see?
CO2-weak CO-Dangerous
O2-Weak O3-Dangerous
H2O-"harmless sunshine and rainbows" H2O2-Dangerous
They're all just slightly weaker poisons when they're that close in composition.
24. Once I had a fever of 40.5 degrees Celsius, I see it wasn’t far from denaturation 0_0
Thx for the data, smart people. I’ll try to avoid those threats, I’d rather die on a battlefield to earn a seat in Valhalla.
