Who do you think will be the first person to hit 1M lurve?
Ever since Kardamom and Wundayatta hit 40K (I’m still in shock that it’s even possible), I’ve been thinking about what’s after that. My question is – Who’ll be the first one to hit 1M? (I’d say 1M sounds better than 100K.)

…Kardamom is at 5K…
I’m thinking marinelife and Wundayatta will conspire and collaborate to hit at the same moment.
Zen.
In 2025, the robots running the site (no, not you Andrew) will combine all lurve from the same IP addresses, and Zen will soar over 1M, and recieve the “Bag of Dicks” award.
I agree with @filmfann. For all we know, Zen has already made it, but he keeps tricking us.
(I thought 1K meant one thousand!)
Just doing a little math, at 10k a year, that will take 100 years. I don’t think it’s possible. If we say 100k, I would say someone who has about 35k to 38k at the moment. Basically I’m betting someone else will take the lead. Even in an ideal situation, 60k could still take a couple of years.
Someone who’s not even here yet will be first to 1MM. @Jeruba was right. I deal with this every day at work with people who don’t get the M / MM thing.
What will happen is that as Fluther grows and lurve becomes relatively easier and easier to get in years to come (the old-timers here before I got here a year ago couldn’t even have imagined 20K lurve as regularly as it’s gotten now) the newcomers will spread it among themselves faster than the veterans, and they’ll pass us all. That, and some of the old-timers will burn out, die off, find other interests and… take our own advice and get a life.
@filmfann, K is for kilo- (Greek: 1000) and M is for milli- (Latin: 1000). As an abbreviation, MM = a thousand thousands = 1 million, whereas in Roman numerals it is additive and not multiplicative: 2000.
@Jeruba In SI m is for milli, M is for mega. 1,000,000 can therefore be accurately described as 1M without the need to start worrying about what it might mean in roman numerals.
Looking forward to watch Aggie says… she would know. Who had the first lurve is my question?
Oh oops, it’s Marinelife and Wundy, not Kardamom. Thanks for pointing that out, @J0E.
Zen wouldn’t have that high of a count.. he keeps getting high amounts of lurve on new accounts because not everyone has maxed out on that account yet. If he kept a normal account like a normal person, he’d be stuck in a random place like the rest of us.
Right observation is right.
My bet is on the tortoise.
