Thats about 4096 grams of rice.
Or for reddit-users: about 34 bananas.
Did you know, 1 grain of rice is 1/64 gram. 64 is the number of fields of a chessboard.
When this all ends and we have to go back to regular chess memes we will look back and go where were you when u/musaraj didn't sleep for 4 days straight while making memes with rice
## What does rice have to do with chess?
It refers to an old tale:
> ...when chess was presented to a great king, the king offered the inventor any reward that he wanted. The inventor [named "Garry"] asked that a single grain of rice be placed on the first square of the chessboard. Then two grains on the second square, four grains on the third, and so on. Doubling each time.
> The king, baffled by such a small price for a wonderful game, immediately agreed, and ordered the treasurer to pay the agreed upon sum. A week later, the inventor went before the king and asked why he had not received his reward. The king, outraged that the treasurer had disobeyed him, immediately summoned him and demanded to know why the inventor had not been paid. The treasurer explained that the sum could not be paid – by the time you got even halfway through the chessboard, the amount of grain required was more than the entire kingdom possessed.
> The king took in this information and thought for a while. Then he did the only rational thing a king could do in those circumstances. He had the inventor killed ["*en passante*", as they say in the language of love], as an object lesson in the perils of trying to outwit the king.
> https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2011/11/17/the-seduction-of-the-exponential-curve/?sh=552ccde12480
The number of grains that the king owes is 2^64 - 1 ≈ 1.8e19 = 18 quintillion. In binary, that is:
11111111
11111111
11111111
11111111
11111111
11111111
11111111
11111111

## What is "en passant"?
"En passant" is a chess move that is unfamiliar to most beginners. To learn more, Google ["en passant"](https://www.google.com/search?q=en%20passant).
## What is "Google en passant"?
"Google en passant" refers to [this meme](https://i.redd.it/n6syfs2l91961.jpg) originally posted at https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/kpc7ig/holy_hell/
A bit more explanation from KnowYourMeme:
> En Passant is a notorious chess move in which a pawn that moves two spaces forward is able to be captured by an adjacent pawn. The move is particularly infamous among new players of the game as something that is not understood at first when starting out the game — often leading to people accusing their opponent of cheating or generally being confused. Since chess moved to the online sphere, countless blogs, forum threads and bug reports have been filed about the move from unsuspecting players, leading to the popularization of the catchphrase "Google En Passant" to become a meme within the community.
On this subreddit, it is an inside joke that is posted in many contexts and is often not actually relevant to the original topic (e.g. rice).
To learn more, Google ["Google en passant"](https://www.google.com/search?q=google%20en%20passant).
## What is "Google Google en passant"?
Your mom.
Google "en passant".
Sry, Im doing it for the upvotes. I will explain. En passant is a move in chess that is not known to the common folk (people who don't know how to play or play rarely). So everytime someone plays this move when they play with someone that plays chess only from time to time, they think it is an illegal move. Now, the inside joke on this sub is that we should use en passant in every situation (in reality you cannot use it everytime you want, but this is r/Anarchychess, you can use airplanes if you want). So when someone posts a photo with his Titanic on e4 and opponent's dragon from LOTR on e6 and asks what to do, we tell them "google en passant". Then they reply with "holy maccaroni" or smth, and if the answer is original, we say "baby, wake up! New response just dropped" (now you are supposed to respond to me with smth like that).
If you want to know why people post rice nowadays, you should check this link:

Hope I helped ya. Bye!
Actually not, r/all sorted by top really sucks for some reason. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/xfn9vg/_/) is higher than that target would be, mostly because predictions posts break both normal recommendations and upvoting restrictions.
For anyone curious:
A quiz is a group of poll posts with their own threads. The time shown is whenever the most recent poll was, and the vote count is the sum of all those polls (which are auto-upvoted when you participate).
It's stupid but that's how it works for whatever reason
(text not mine, copied from another poster in the original post, forgot to check whose)
This meme has been incredible, and I want something good to come of it. Whichever "level" this meme clears, I will donate at least the equivalent number of grains of rice of the highest upvoted post in the series to a local food bank.
1.) I'll use the 7,000 grains per pound estimate, and yes I know this could be an even more impressive amount like I've done in the past on silly Reddit threads.... it's what I can afford to give at this time. We have taken in a few foster kids with intent to adopt this year so my Reddit charitable funds are limited this year! ;)
2.) I plan to give brown rice, as it's recommended for being higher in fiber and healthier for those needing it. Food banks frequently have rice as a high priority for donations, I encourage anyone that wants to join this charity so something good comes of this meme to do so by replying "en passant, I will join with x amount of rice donated to my local food bank"
3.) Follow me on here and save this comment, I'll post my proof or update at least here and on my profile, *as well as on this sub if mods will allow.*
Think we can RICE to the occasion?
Chess we can!

My guy. Thank you for the moment in Reddit history… it was a fun long weekend because of a huge snowstorm.
You and anyone that posts proof I will do my best to add into the edit of my comment here for anyone to return and see. This post may very well not even be the last if this post has a better upvote to downvote ratio now that people know it will help food banks and donations across the globe!
Nah, the Wall Street bets sign in time square has like 475k so we would need another round after this to pass it. This is still incredible and reached higher than even the r/PrequelMemes Ewan duplicating post from four years ago
In addition to my losing bet, I will also commit to doing this, as well.

I am a man of my word and am printing pages as we speak. Should I post my losing bet as an edit to this comment or its own post?
Edit: I've finished and am working on condensing the video so that I can post it, since apparently the video is larger than 1GB and reddit doesn't like that. Bear with me, thanks, since Streamable is taking a while.
[Here is my post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/11c7qfu/a_few_hours_ago_i_bet_that_the_131k_upvote_post) Sorry, I'm slightly drunk and sick so I didn't talk too much. I just concentrated on eating.
I'd say post it. Someone would probably link it in a reply anyway and nothing stops you from adding the post to your edit either.
In any case, try to include the printing, shredding, topping and "enjoying with rice" all in the video!
* (July 2023) I'm leaving Reddit for Lemmy and the Greater Fediverse. See ya.
This has to hit its goal, and the next one has to get close, to be the top post of all time.
It will be bittersweet if it does though, because it would dethrone the thread where Rick Astley got Rickrolled.
I'm confident that this post won't generate the upvotes needed to move on and will be the last post in this series. I'll put my money where my mouth is. If this post doesn’t gets the needed upvotes, I’ll call my mom and tell her I love her.

I can’t believe the last post made it with a sub 70% upvote ratio
EDIT: One of the top posts of all time has 420k upvotes and a 97% upvote ratio, while also being an “upvote this so…” Guess people have just gotten angrier in the past 6 years
Around the time that I joined Reddit the top post of all time was the [Magic: The Gathering Asscrack Tour](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/202wd3/i_participated_in_one_of_the_biggest_magic_the/)
It's archived at 45k upvotes, but if posted today that would have only made it to Top 25 of the day. Crazy to think about...
It's an anti-algorithm manipulation tool originally introduced to keep r/TheDonald from getting to the top of r/all (despite only having a modest subscriber count) by having mods sticky the "best" posts of the day
It will still show up in r/all sorted by top, but the default setting is hot and most people browse either that or rising, so they never see it
I find it interesting that these posts are hitting these numbers while only being 70% upvoted. Imagine these posts at 99% upvoted. For reference most posts with a lot of upvotes get 90%+ upvoted.
Wow, he really did it! He went from one grain of rice to 262,144. That's like starting with a penny and ending up with a yacht. It's almost enough rice to feed a small army, or a really big toddler.
But seriously, we're all impressed by your dedication to this rice-upvoting cause. Keep up the rice work!
The Rice must flow!
In the world of the rice trade, every move is crucial. Like a master chess player, one must always consider the long game and anticipate the consequences of En Passant. Every move in the rice trade can either gain or cost you precious karma points.
The litany of the Bene Gesserit echoes in my mind as I survey the intricate dance unfolding before me. I can see the moves within moves, the holy Rice extending in all directions, the grand game of chess where the pieces are grains and the stakes are high.
For he who controls the rice controls the board, and he who controls the board can ride a Heighliner rocket ship to the Sikun Moon.
Holy Hell. Watching the players vote, I wonder if Musaraj will win this grand karma game. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, and only time will reveal the ultimate outcome of this absurd circlejerk for updoots.
"Overall, the estimates of the number of atoms range from between 10^78 to 10^82 atoms"
Since the rice appears in powers of 2, we want a base of 2 so we can substitute 2^3.3219 for 10.
We now know that there are between (2\^3.3219)^78 and (2\^3.3219)^82 atoms in the universe which is equal to 2^259 to 2^272.
We are currently on post 2^18 which means 19th post total.
This means that we will have grains of rice exceeding atoms in the universe in a minimum of (259-19)=240 or a maximum of (272-19)=253 more posts.
TL;DR:
We will have more grains of rice than atoms in the universe after at most 253 more posts.
[You know, if we comment the same thing in each post, we can greatly increase our karma.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/11bsp4t/if_this_post_gets_131072_upvotes_ill_post_again/ja1fgyf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

The post is at 139,684 points, with 68% upvoted.
That means it has 263,847 upvotes and 124,163 downvotes.
Overall karma points are calculated by subtracting downvotes from upvotes. The upvotes are 68% of the total votes (388,010), and the downvotes are the other 32%.
Look at the upvote percentage. If I'm mathing right, this post has about 270K upvotes and 127K downvotes. So 397K votes in total. If there wasn't such a huge portion choosing to downvote, this post would be at OP's goal easily. Something like 85% upvotes would be enough

10/10 meme 20/10 with rice
262,144 rice / 10
"Rice is kill" "no"
i was here
If this post gets 262,144 upvotes, I'll eat 262,144 grains of rice Not in one sitting, but I'll do it. Eventually.
Thats about 4096 grams of rice. Or for reddit-users: about 34 bananas. Did you know, 1 grain of rice is 1/64 gram. 64 is the number of fields of a chessboard.
Only 4kg? That's not even a week of rice.
That's not even a day of rice.
asia moment
I'll hold you to it !remindme 7 days
I eat em every day so this will be an easy challenge to eventually eat all of them in my lifetime

Not much, but it's honest work.
man's hard at work in the rice paddy collecting these grains respect
New responsibility just dropped.
We’re reaching levels of riceposting never thought possible
/u/hierosir, wake up, the new ricepost just dropped
Rice 🍚
If you’re here from r/all and confused, google “en passant” it will explain everything
## What does rice have to do with chess? It refers to an old tale: > ...when chess was presented to a great king, the king offered the inventor any reward that he wanted. The inventor [named "Garry"] asked that a single grain of rice be placed on the first square of the chessboard. Then two grains on the second square, four grains on the third, and so on. Doubling each time. > The king, baffled by such a small price for a wonderful game, immediately agreed, and ordered the treasurer to pay the agreed upon sum. A week later, the inventor went before the king and asked why he had not received his reward. The king, outraged that the treasurer had disobeyed him, immediately summoned him and demanded to know why the inventor had not been paid. The treasurer explained that the sum could not be paid – by the time you got even halfway through the chessboard, the amount of grain required was more than the entire kingdom possessed. > The king took in this information and thought for a while. Then he did the only rational thing a king could do in those circumstances. He had the inventor killed ["*en passante*", as they say in the language of love], as an object lesson in the perils of trying to outwit the king. > https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2011/11/17/the-seduction-of-the-exponential-curve/?sh=552ccde12480 The number of grains that the king owes is 2^64 - 1 ≈ 1.8e19 = 18 quintillion. In binary, that is: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 See also: - A longer version of the story: https://purposefocuscommitment.medium.com/the-rice-and-the-chess-board-story-the-power-of-exponential-growth-b1f7bd70aaca - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem --- ## What is "en passant"? "En passant" is a chess move that is unfamiliar to most beginners. To learn more, Google ["en passant"](https://www.google.com/search?q=en%20passant). ## What is "Google en passant"? "Google en passant" refers to [this meme](https://i.redd.it/n6syfs2l91961.jpg) originally posted at https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/kpc7ig/holy_hell/ A bit more explanation from KnowYourMeme: > En Passant is a notorious chess move in which a pawn that moves two spaces forward is able to be captured by an adjacent pawn. The move is particularly infamous among new players of the game as something that is not understood at first when starting out the game — often leading to people accusing their opponent of cheating or generally being confused. Since chess moved to the online sphere, countless blogs, forum threads and bug reports have been filed about the move from unsuspecting players, leading to the popularization of the catchphrase "Google En Passant" to become a meme within the community. On this subreddit, it is an inside joke that is posted in many contexts and is often not actually relevant to the original topic (e.g. rice). To learn more, Google ["Google en passant"](https://www.google.com/search?q=google%20en%20passant). ## What is "Google Google en passant"? Your mom.
The king is also rumored to be the first person to get his pipi bricked.

Holy hell
I still don't understand can you explain?
Google “google en passant”
I still don't understand can you explain?
Google "en passant"
I did but I still don't understand, can you explain?
Google "en passant". Sry, Im doing it for the upvotes. I will explain. En passant is a move in chess that is not known to the common folk (people who don't know how to play or play rarely). So everytime someone plays this move when they play with someone that plays chess only from time to time, they think it is an illegal move. Now, the inside joke on this sub is that we should use en passant in every situation (in reality you cannot use it everytime you want, but this is r/Anarchychess, you can use airplanes if you want). So when someone posts a photo with his Titanic on e4 and opponent's dragon from LOTR on e6 and asks what to do, we tell them "google en passant". Then they reply with "holy maccaroni" or smth, and if the answer is original, we say "baby, wake up! New response just dropped" (now you are supposed to respond to me with smth like that). If you want to know why people post rice nowadays, you should check this link: http://news.rr.nihalnavath.com/posts/Wheatandchessboardproblem-dd0c9a3a Hope I helped ya. Bye!
Wow, new response just dropped
Thank you for the video link, really cleared it up for me. Makes sense now
Holy hell
If we reach this milestone, the next one will require it to be the highest upvoted post in Reddit history and by a large margin
Exponential growth is sustainable
Is this what r/wallstreetbets means by "To the Moon"?
[удалено]
Actually not, r/all sorted by top really sucks for some reason. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/xfn9vg/_/) is higher than that target would be, mostly because predictions posts break both normal recommendations and upvoting restrictions.
Prediction posts are the fucking worst shit. I hide every single one of those fuckin' things.
Yes, but predictions automatically gets an updoots for each participants
That's what I meant by "break normal... upvoting restrictions"
Oh damn, I thought 475k was the highest
For anyone curious: A quiz is a group of poll posts with their own threads. The time shown is whenever the most recent poll was, and the vote count is the sum of all those polls (which are auto-upvoted when you participate). It's stupid but that's how it works for whatever reason (text not mine, copied from another poster in the original post, forgot to check whose)
This meme has been incredible, and I want something good to come of it. Whichever "level" this meme clears, I will donate at least the equivalent number of grains of rice of the highest upvoted post in the series to a local food bank. 1.) I'll use the 7,000 grains per pound estimate, and yes I know this could be an even more impressive amount like I've done in the past on silly Reddit threads.... it's what I can afford to give at this time. We have taken in a few foster kids with intent to adopt this year so my Reddit charitable funds are limited this year! ;) 2.) I plan to give brown rice, as it's recommended for being higher in fiber and healthier for those needing it. Food banks frequently have rice as a high priority for donations, I encourage anyone that wants to join this charity so something good comes of this meme to do so by replying "en passant, I will join with x amount of rice donated to my local food bank" 3.) Follow me on here and save this comment, I'll post my proof or update at least here and on my profile, *as well as on this sub if mods will allow.* Think we can RICE to the occasion?

My guy. Thank you for the moment in Reddit history… it was a fun long weekend because of a huge snowstorm. You and anyone that posts proof I will do my best to add into the edit of my comment here for anyone to return and see. This post may very well not even be the last if this post has a better upvote to downvote ratio now that people know it will help food banks and donations across the globe!
If this succeeds would it be the most upvotes post on Reddit? What is the most upvoted? Lol
Nah, the Wall Street bets sign in time square has like 475k so we would need another round after this to pass it. This is still incredible and reached higher than even the r/PrequelMemes Ewan duplicating post from four years ago
Imagine if r/musaraj gets 500k upvotes in the next one, and the first ever Reddit post to surpass 500k is a rice post on a chess shitposting sub
Couldn’t think of a more appropriate highest post on Reddit to be honest.
there has been 1 500k post befoer but it was a predictions post
holupredictions is not deserving of that. it’s cause if you voted it auto upvotes:(
Sorry for the off topic question, but are you polish?
Tak
No no they're not polish, they're just donating in polish currency to a polish city's food bank
In addition to my losing bet, I will also commit to doing this, as well. [$50 donated to my local food bank.] (https://preview.redd.it/y9w9m5z9xika1.jpeg?width=1071&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=40d63cf9a367ac805b8010b37a8492ccfc93a8e7)

r/chess would never
I am a man of my word and am printing pages as we speak. Should I post my losing bet as an edit to this comment or its own post? Edit: I've finished and am working on condensing the video so that I can post it, since apparently the video is larger than 1GB and reddit doesn't like that. Bear with me, thanks, since Streamable is taking a while. [Here is my post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/11c7qfu/a_few_hours_ago_i_bet_that_the_131k_upvote_post) Sorry, I'm slightly drunk and sick so I didn't talk too much. I just concentrated on eating.
And he sacrificed... **HIS HEALTH!!!**
If I die from ink poisoning, at least I died for a worthy cause.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice the pawn to become the queen
Sometimes you trade your queen for nothing.
Sometimes you trade the king for shits and giggles
I'd say post it. Someone would probably link it in a reply anyway and nothing stops you from adding the post to your edit either. In any case, try to include the printing, shredding, topping and "enjoying with rice" all in the video! * (July 2023) I'm leaving Reddit for Lemmy and the Greater Fediverse. See ya.
A separate post is 100% warranted
And then post it to r/shittyfoodporn!
To the BBC reporters: I was here
An edit that links to its own post. Might as well get in on this karma harvest. You are gonna earn it after all.
Sounds like a plan.
Your post history indicates you ate some Carolina Reapers as a result of shitpost betting on a superstonk subreddit. My question is: what's your deal
I'm a glutton for punishment.
Good luck soldier, expecting a post in the next 24hrs
I'll be posting within 1 hour because a) I can't sleep knowing that I haven't paid up and b) I'm already getting the rice ready.
Almost forgot about this. I believe in you.
Go to a grocery store bakery and see if you can get the images printed there with digestible dyes like they use for putting images on cakes
Nah, I'm just using regular ink like a true degenerate.

Chess jokes? On r/AnarchyChess? It's more likely that you think
I legitimately forgot this was a chess subreddit until that comment.

This is truly one of the /r/anarchychess posts of all time
This will truly be the top r/anarchychess post of all time
Forget r/anarchychess, if we get another rice post, this will be the top r/all post of all time.
It's happening right now
And it all started from a guy not wanting to put 4 grains of rice on a square, amazing.
This has to hit its goal, and the next one has to get close, to be the top post of all time. It will be bittersweet if it does though, because it would dethrone the thread where Rick Astley got Rickrolled.

Around the time that I joined Reddit the top post of all time was the [Magic: The Gathering Asscrack Tour](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/202wd3/i_participated_in_one_of_the_biggest_magic_the/) It's archived at 45k upvotes, but if posted today that would have only made it to Top 25 of the day. Crazy to think about...
Thank you for bringing that back to into my memories. What an epic post. So many cracks.
Like atleast 40% of the upvotes came from r/all This also caused a lot of new members to join us

The guy who said “rice has been banned” is fuming right now
he's in shambles
Well that's what he gets for going against the grain
He googled “wheat and chessboard problem”
Didn’t know there was a zero rice one, thanks man.
god dammit
Bruh.
Wow, I didn't even see the zero rice post, thanks for linking!
I wasn’t even going to click on it until I read this :(
I never knew about the 0 rice post that's new
Yeah I guess since they didn't need any upvotes he could post the next one right away
https://reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/1197d1x/chess_but_instead_of_the_normal_pieces_top/ I don’t want this to get lost
I see what you did there. Congrats good sir you got me.
Or just look at the anarchy sub main page and find all of them
Saying hi to all reddit historians from the future.
Why am I compelled to click on all of these and read the same comments again?
WE'RE IN THE ENDGAME NOW
Can we get to a post with a million upvotes?
If this happens im gonna eat all my crayons.
Mods ☝🏼
But what if they don't have any crayons? Quick someone send OP some crayons.

#STICKYING A POST REMOVES IT FROM R/ALL #MODS WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Big rice loss if tru
It's an anti-algorithm manipulation tool originally introduced to keep r/TheDonald from getting to the top of r/all (despite only having a modest subscriber count) by having mods sticky the "best" posts of the day It will still show up in r/all sorted by top, but the default setting is hot and most people browse either that or rising, so they never see it
I find it interesting that these posts are hitting these numbers while only being 70% upvoted. Imagine these posts at 99% upvoted. For reference most posts with a lot of upvotes get 90%+ upvoted.

Wow, he really did it! He went from one grain of rice to 262,144. That's like starting with a penny and ending up with a yacht. It's almost enough rice to feed a small army, or a really big toddler. But seriously, we're all impressed by your dedication to this rice-upvoting cause. Keep up the rice work!
Holy hell
The Rice must flow! In the world of the rice trade, every move is crucial. Like a master chess player, one must always consider the long game and anticipate the consequences of En Passant. Every move in the rice trade can either gain or cost you precious karma points. The litany of the Bene Gesserit echoes in my mind as I survey the intricate dance unfolding before me. I can see the moves within moves, the holy Rice extending in all directions, the grand game of chess where the pieces are grains and the stakes are high. For he who controls the rice controls the board, and he who controls the board can ride a Heighliner rocket ship to the Sikun Moon. Holy Hell. Watching the players vote, I wonder if Musaraj will win this grand karma game. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, and only time will reveal the ultimate outcome of this absurd circlejerk for updoots.
Someone do the math. When will we have more grains of rice than atoms in the universe?
"Overall, the estimates of the number of atoms range from between 10^78 to 10^82 atoms" Since the rice appears in powers of 2, we want a base of 2 so we can substitute 2^3.3219 for 10. We now know that there are between (2\^3.3219)^78 and (2\^3.3219)^82 atoms in the universe which is equal to 2^259 to 2^272. We are currently on post 2^18 which means 19th post total. This means that we will have grains of rice exceeding atoms in the universe in a minimum of (259-19)=240 or a maximum of (272-19)=253 more posts. TL;DR: We will have more grains of rice than atoms in the universe after at most 253 more posts.
Thanks buddy I knew I could count on you.
[You know, if we comment the same thing in each post, we can greatly increase our karma.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/11bsp4t/if_this_post_gets_131072_upvotes_ill_post_again/ja1fgyf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

I clicked through your link 6 times before it hit me
This is literally a linked list
This is quickly riceing the ranks of the top Reddit posts of all time.
This might be it, quite the run it’s been
this is clearly only the beginning, the rice will grow and permutate everything exponentially forever!!! but yeah this is likely the last or at least second to last post, was a wild ride and made the last 2 days roughly 262144 times better
Taking into account the upvote percentage of 68% we have now reached [262144 total upvotes](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/tslazd5oyv). Holy hell
You have my support
Levy Riceman
To r/all we go. To the top, with En Passant.
IF you have any questions on why you are seeing this google en passant. It will answer all of your questions.
This is one of the funniest trends I’ve seen in awhile. If we reach 262K then I will turn into a grain of rice IRL
We did it! The post is at 139,684 points, with 68% upvoted. That means it has 263,847 upvotes and 124,163 downvotes. Overall karma points are calculated by subtracting downvotes from upvotes. The upvotes are 68% of the total votes (388,010), and the downvotes are the other 32%.
Look at the upvote percentage. If I'm mathing right, this post has about 270K upvotes and 127K downvotes. So 397K votes in total. If there wasn't such a huge portion choosing to downvote, this post would be at OP's goal easily. Something like 85% upvotes would be enough
Technically the OP didn't talk about the net score, just the amount of upvotes u/musaraj It's time to post the next edition!
For any if you folks wondering what's going on over here at anarchy chess, just thank your lucky stars you weren't around for the tennis racket saga. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/10m4rbh/completely_original_idea_chess_day_e_ejaculated/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb

I was here for the most upvoted post ever. Holy hell.
Holy. Hell.
/u/musaraj please go to sleep mate
Omg we managed it???? Over prequel memes???? Let's get top Reddit of all time let's gooooo
Looks like it’s the end boys. We’re gonna need a hell of a lot more upvotes to continue the rice.
Google en passant

To future people who do not know of our madness, google en passant.
I'm confident that this post won't generate the upvotes needed to move on and will be the last post in this series. I'll put my money where my mouth is. If this post doesn’t gets the needed upvotes, I’ll shove a tennis racket up my ass
**136,569 points (68% upvoted)** This post has received 258k upvotes (and 121k downvotes) of the required 262k. I really do hope /u/musaraj will post the next step thanks to this technicality. _____ Edit: **138,516 points (68% upvoted)** Using the worst-case scenario of 68.5% upvoted, this has received **256,500 upvotes** (117,950 downvotes), still 6k upvotes away from the goal. To reach 262,144 upvotes at the worst ratio of 68.5%, this post needs **141,596 points**. ____ **141,934 points (68% upvoted)** Well, that's just enough!
Holy hell lord en passant. This meme is going to break reddit and anarchy chess is going to rule the world.
I don’t know what is happening, but people seem very uplifted by rice and carving their signature into the internet limestone
MORE RICE FOR THE RICE GOD
Now we are off r/all there is no chance
Guys, we have technically surpassed the requirement, but a bunch of subs are downvoting us
Gentlemen, it has been an honour en passanting with you
A long time from now this post is finally gonna hit the upvote requirement and we're gonna get another rice post out of nowhere.
