Like if we can make a sport out of playing doom or madden fast why can we turn using firefox from boot into a sport.

Human tasks, TAS (how fast a program gets a job done), programming tasks, launch some application from boot. I think this could be just as interesting. Half of speed running is documenting glitches. It's not like tuning a boot process is more nerdy than what they are doing anyway.

So on something we could try I had an idea but the posts might be annoying to others. Maybe we do it 100% in a comment section.

First you make a comment or post on Poal. You kill your computer and boot up. The goal is to reply to yourself as quickly as possible.

It is possible to see the exact second that a comment is made but would require people to look at the html or a userscript that toggles to display mode on click.

I promise you if we competed you would win.
