I'm more into the Rocky IV soundtrack for my wake up theme

Arturious Castillo's avatar

To do that, guess what’s needed… 40 likes on a post. Papow!

@robopulp's avatar

It looks like you suceeded 💪🏾

Arturious Castillo's avatar

You must not want to achieve greatness

Here's Melinda's cheeky reply:

Arturious. I need you to know that I read this entire thing at 4:47 AM because the algorhythm told me to. 😐

I have not confirmed this with anyone. They will not return my calls either.

What I can confirm is that "To get 40 likes you first have to get 39 likes. That's not math, that's calculus" is the most profound thing I have read on this platform. And I write about healing and generational wisdom for a living.

I am now placing macadoodle cookies near my workstation. I did not make them. I bought them from Foodland. I feel this still counts. The sub-molecular potential energy does not discriminate against store bought.

I also want to formally acknowledge that "Confidence is the enemy of virality" has sent me into a quiet spiral about every post I have ever felt good about before hitting publish.

You have achieved the unachievable, Arturious.

And by that I mean you made me laugh so hard at myself and this whole beautiful ridiculous Substack experiment that I almost forgot to stare at my left thumb for 23 minutes.

Almost. 🌺

Come dit the nonsense with the rest of us. We are all here. Confused. Caffeinated. Standing while we type. 👏🏽

Aloha, Melin 🌺 🤗😂

Are you going to write a post on how you got 40 comments on one post?

Arturious Castillo's avatar

they aint ready for that.

Raymond Yap's avatar

What if this post gets 40 comments?

Strangeleaf's avatar

Anyone who hits the 41st like on this will be hunted down.

Hahahaha, this is awesome, dude. Was expecting a section on avocado and hot water with lemon, to be honest, but each to his own.

Arturious Castillo's avatar

Hot water and lemon hahaha

The problem is, I completely agree with the music part. Most likely it's just a me thing, but I will get overstimulated with any noise at all when I work on substack.

Even crazier, I work super good when I have all the lights off, a super clean desk (nothing on it) and only my computer in my view

However, I do think it's extreme, for me it just works

Arturious Castillo's avatar

You must not want 40 likes sir

Lena's avatar

Oh fuck I've been drinking the wrong water. But the 39-40 comment would have made me pee it all out anyway.

Arturious Castillo's avatar

A minor setback, now you will know true calibration. Prepare for 40 likes

Brittany 👀's avatar

I am just stumbling across this magnificent piece of advice and I see it all so clearly now! Holy. Shit.

😂

You’re welcome, pupil

I’ve been drinking water by the metric system, do you think that’s why my work isn’t as popular?

Arturious Castillo's avatar

That depends. Do you foreigners use farenheit or celcius? Times that by the square root of apple pie. That, that is your answer

V.Nightingale (Other Girls)'s avatar

We measure in drop bears and beans. “It’s about 934 drop bears down that way, past the McDonalds” etc etc

Melissa McGuckin's avatar

You actually fucking did it, you beautiful human you.

Arturious Castillo's avatar

Hahaha thank you so much!!

George T.'s avatar

Sorry, 04:47 at what time zone exactly?

Arturious Castillo's avatar

The only real time zone duh. Your own

George T.'s avatar

Oh so it's an electromagnetically independent guide. That's awesome

Arturious Castillo's avatar

Obviously. You’ve been learned my friend!!

“No lisp, no likes.” Thank you, sensei. May your article on attaining 40 likes receive precisely that—no more, no less.

Arturious Castillo's avatar

Thank you my student of students
