    I hate Paul…

    I made it up to rule 25 and then Paul starved because I was thinking too long about which characters to ban.

    To make it over Rule 24 (Paste the URL of a Youtube video with a certain random length), I even created a video with the correct length and kept uploading it to Youtube to get a URL without roman numerals and decently usable atomic weights.

    When I tried it again after that dumb chicken starved, I hit Youtube’s maximum daily upload limit. Now Youtube thinks I am a spambot or something.

    Btw, there are 35 rules total, in case anyone else makes it over 24. And spoiler, the one that got me doesn’t matter at all. It’s one of the easiest of all.

      I tag teamed with someone and they were constantly counting to make sure Paul got fed while I tried to find a 23m03s YouTube video

      I got a text HOURS saying “I can still hear myself counting” lol

      Do you know what all the rules are? Could you perhaps put it in a spoiler quoted comment? I’m not about to get through all of these rules lol.

    I thought I was so smart spamming the caterpillars into the password. I overfed Paul.

    The funniest moment has to have been when I Googled “9 minute 34 second Youtube video” and there was at least one video literally titled “9 MINUTES AND 34 SECONDS TIMER COUNTDOWN [574 seconds - 9:34]” and the video was 9 minutes 49 seconds long. I proceeded to Google different numbers of seconds looking for one that hit the perfect number and literally none of the videos, despite seemingly hundreds of videos of very specific times happened to fall on the 9 minute 34 second mark. Like, what insane world is happening in the great depths of Youtube where people spend hours posting completely arbitrary timers on Youtube, but specifically avoid ones that are 9 minutes, 34 seconds in length. I felt set up. I was rolling in laughter. 10/10 would spend my night Googling Youtube timers and overfeeding an emoji chicken again.

    What killed me was trying to feed the chicken while hunting for a YouTube video of a certain length. I did get past that once when I was lucky enough to be asked for a 9 minute 0 second video. Because people upload “timer” videos of exactly X minutes, that was possible. The “26 minute 59 second” video resulted in a dead chicken.

      I accidentally overfed him, which I guess is just as bad due to the Dark Souls themed overlay lol.

    Oh this is hilarious! I could accept each absurd rule up until I had to play Wordle, then I called it quits. But I kinda want to continue and see how high it goes.

    Edit: Now stuck on chess

    Edit 2: Oh no! I panic deleted during the fire.

    I figured out what random country I got dropped into was, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the best chess move. Made it though up to rule 16 with this:
