Whaaaat? Matt making a thread that's not off-topic for once? Have I been sent to a parallel universe and there's no way out?

Well, no. You're still in the same universe, and I'm finally back on topic as far as creating threads goes. Backstory time!

I was taking part in a discussion about whether or not we should allow people to listen to music during solves, when I noticed all the likes I and everyone else were getting. So TheCoolMinxer (Henri Gerber) pointed out that everyone got 3-5 likes per post in the older cubers discussion. So I said, "I'm 13, sooo... Teenage Cubers discussion, anyone?" A few minutes later, I thought, "Hey, that's not a bad idea." I have no idea how well this is going to go, but considering most cubers are on the younger side, I thought I'd make this thread.

How to start a discussion...

What's your favorite part of competitions?

Yeah, that's all right. Feel free to change the topic (as long as it's cubing related). :)

Crushing everyone's hopes and dreams....
My favorite part of comps is meeting ppl
 
First off lmao you actually made this

As for the topic, I have only been to one comp so I have limited experience with it, but I enjoyed talking to other cubers and just in general having so many cubers around me. At my first comp I only averaged like 20 so it was cool to see some really fast people as well. Going to a comp in about a month that I am really excited for, especially because it looks like I might be able to podium in some events.

Eyyyy, so I guess this is a bit of an age reveal for me. Although I hope nobody thought I was younger than 13... or older than 19, for that matter. The best part of comps has to be hanging out with friends. So dang fun.

Thanks for stopping by. Must be pretty great to have a group of cubing friends like yours.

I always assumed you were the same age as I am, and I still think so.
I wish I had cubing friends. Do cousins that I taught to solve a 3x3 count?

That's close enough. I taught a friend of mine how to solve a 2x2, but we also like Pokemon, Smash Bros, and math and music classes. We bond over those things more than we do cubing.
 
I realise I may be holding a fringe belief here but I never saw the point of the forums as getting as many likes as possible...

More about communicating with other people about something both enjoy and getting and giving help and tips or maybe occasionally investigating the mathematics of methods or just the cube in general.

This isn't really to get likes. I don't care that much about how many likes I get. This is a cubing discussion. I created this thread because TheCoolMinxer brought up the older cuber discussion thread, which got me thinking a teenager thread wouldn't be too bad an idea. I'm just spreading the love, and others are following suit.

Hmm...

Maybe I shouldn't have brought up the topic of likes at all.
