Timer

Timer was a notable thread created on July 6th, 2020. The thread begins with the ENTJ-T user Earrings telling the people in the 16Personalities Lounge that she is baking brownies in the oven. She then asks people to remind her in 10 minutes from the time the thread was posted that the brownies need to be taken out of the oven.

Two users replied and offered their assistance. Approximately 10 minutes after the thread was created Evelyn the Dwarfie replied that the long awaited moment to retrieve the brownies had finally arrived. When the timer was a minute overtime, Water Buffalo inquired how they would know if she saw the previous message in time to prevent the destruction of the brownies via burning.

In a subcomment to Water Buffalo, Earrings replied that she had seen Evelyn’s post and gotten the brownies out in time. She also stated that her dog was now giving her puppy eyes. Earrings thanked the ladies for their assistance in averting a burnt food-in-oven disaster.

After the situation with the brownies was over Anansi asked what purpose the thread would now have. She asked if anyone else needed a timer or if people should commit arson on it. Surprisingly other users began asking for timers of their own, requesting reminders for tasks such as sleeping, obtaining sewing machine oil, or remembering to use an actual timer next time. The thread however was eventually deleted by Angela later that day.
