Hello Reddit, we're here to test the Cricut thing. This is my beautiful wife. What is the temperature?
What is the temperature outside? What is the temperature outside?
It's about 26 degrees outside.
Okay, 26 degrees is the real temperature. Alright, so you ready to count 25? Uh, yeah.
Okay.
Uh, okay, hang on, I gotta get here so I can count it. You just stop me at 25 seconds. Okay, ready? I'm ready.
Oh wait, 41. Take one away. Oh, was I too— at one extra? You're one extra. Okay, so that was 40. So for— what is this?
The same number we got last time.
Yeah, so 40 divided by 3. What do you do with the math? Just say no.
Well, we're terrible. I'm bad at math.
40 divided by 3. Divided by 3. 13 plus 4.
Yeah, well, we know 17. So here's my theory though, is that it's a two-toned noise, like the chirp. I can't tell what— like roughly double would be accurate.
Here's my theory: Reddit is full of shit.
That's my theory. That's no way to get people to like you. Come on.
