<p>ย I am looking for a man to help me pull off a prank.</p><p>Not a small prank. Not the kind that lasts an afternoon before everyone laughs and moves on. I mean a grand prank. A ridiculous prank. The kind that becomes folklore.</p><p><br/></p><p>The plan is simple.</p><p>First, we learn a language. Something completely unrelated to our lives. Japanese. Russian. Korean. Or we come up with a language of our own. Anything. We become fluent enough to hold entire conversations in it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then, as a joke, we pretend to fall in love.๐ Nothing serious, of course.</p><p>Just enough to convince people. We start spending all our time together. We learn each other's habits. We memorize favorite foods and childhood stories. We become each other's first call.</p><p>You know...</p><p>For the prank.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then, still as a joke, we get engaged.๐๐๐</p><p>Again, for the prank.</p><p>A traditional introduction follows. Families meet. Pictures are taken. People cry. Promises are made. All for the joke.</p><p>Naturally, we'd need a wedding. A proper one.</p><p>The kind where people travel from different districts and argue over seating arrangements. The kind where old relatives ask when the babies are coming.</p><p>The kind where everyone believes the story except us.</p><p>Because we're in on the joke.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then we'd build a life together. All as a joke๐๐</p><p>A house, perhaps. A dog. Maybe a garden.</p><p>Definitely an inside language that nobody understands.</p><p>Every serious conversation hidden behind foreign words.</p><p>Every argument encrypted.</p><p>Every "I love you" disguised as linguistic research.</p><p>And eventually, because commitment to the bit matters, we'd create tiny relatives.๐๐</p><p><br/></p><p>ย Raise them. Love them. Watch them grow. Attend graduations. Celebrate birthdays. Grow old.</p><p>All while speaking our secret language whenever we don't want our small relatives and the rest of the world listening.</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile our friends would spend decades trying to figure it out.๐</p><p>What language is that? What are they saying? Why do they keep laughing? What is the joke?</p><p>And maybe one day, after forty years of marriage and grandchildren running around the house, someone finally cracks the code.</p><p>They'll arrive triumphant.</p><p>"I figured it out!"</p><p>And we'll look at each other from our rocking chairs.</p><p>"Figured out what?"</p><p>"The language!"</p><p><br/></p><p>And after a long silence we'll smile and laugh๐๐ That they caught us but if they don't then we keep it to ourselves๐๐</p><p><br/></p><p>Perhaps one day we'll be old and grey and sitting side by side watching the sunset.</p><p>The world will see a marriage.</p><p>A family.</p><p>A lifetime.</p><p>But we'll know the truth.</p><p>Two idiots took a joke way too far.๐๐</p><p>And neither of them ever found a good place to stop.</p><p>So they didn't.</p><p><br/></p><p>The real prank would be spending 70 years building a beautiful life with someone, raising a family, growing old together, and then on your deathbed grabbing everyone's hand and whispering:</p><p>"You all got pranked."๐</p><p>And then refusing to elaborate.</p><p><br/></p><p>Our descendants will spend generations trying to figure out what the prank was while your matching gravestones simply read:</p><p>"Still committed to the bit."</p><p><br/></p><p>๐๐๐๐ญ</p><p><br/></p><p>Applications are now open.</p><p>โRequirements:</p><p>โโข Must be willing to learn a language.ย </p><p>โข Must understand that this prank may last a lifetime.ย </p><p>โข Must be committed to the bit.ย </p><p>โข Must not crack under pressure.ย </p><p>โข Must be comfortable creating evidence that the relationship is real.ย </p><p>โข Death is the only acceptable resignation letter.</p><p>โSerious applicants only.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate contentโuse it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio contentโhigh-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover imagesโif your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
