Snapchat Streak Puns

Snapchat streaks by far have to be one of the silliest things ever invented. You and your friends take obscure pictures of yourselves and send them back and forth to each other…for what exactly?! For a silly little number and a flame icon to appear next to their name. It almost turns into a popularity contest between your friends. Whoever has the largest number next to their name is more of your friend I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There’s no real purpose for them. You got to a 100? Great, now get to 1000. You got to 1000? Get to 10000. Seriously though, when does it end? And there’s no real milestones or anything. Getting to 1000 is only special because humans use a base 10 number system. If you lose your streak with someone, be warned as they might throw a temper tantrum.

Every cheesy photo you send and receive puts your cute little snap score up by 1. Oh, you’re snap score is over a million? Damn you must have a lot of friends. Or maybe it’s because you’re a streaker!

And the stuff that people send is just wacky. I’ll have people sitting next to me snap a picture of me and put the classic “streaks” on top of it and send it to all their friends like it’s some kind of joke. Or people will send ugly pictures of themself or send everyone their food. Like gee thanks…I really needed to know that you ate pizza for lunch.

It’s so obvious that this “feature” was designed to get people to go on Snapchat more. Am I the only one that sees this? Whichever bozo at Snapchat HQ thought of this deserves the noble prize for the stupidest (yet most genius) idea ever. And clearly it works because I see people with numerous streaks, all well into the hundreds and sometimes even the thousands. Can you believe that? People send random @ss pictures to each other for over two years.

Don’t get me wrong though, I can understand if you have a friend/sibling/significant other that you are really close to that you want to keep a streak with because it’s special or whatever. But, I’ve had people tell me that they still keep streaks going with people they met maybe once or twice in person. Why? So the other person doesn’t get mad?

Maybe my opinion doesn’t matter because my snap score is in the 2000s and I can’t keep a streak going for more than a month. :/

PS: If you are a “streaker” I do not hate you personally nor do I hold any grudges against you.

OMG GUYS!!

When I had my UPenn interview my interviewer asked for my Snapchat so I gave it to him.

We had a 25 day streak and last night I lost it😭

He used to send me funny selfies but now it’s just ceiling pictures and black screens.

Is he mad at me?

Did I blow my chances???? 😭

Keeping streaks is interesting at first but at some point it becomes a chore. I understand that you have a choice whether to send a snap everyday but the idea of the app (sending pics to friends) Is a really cool one imo. When you have to send a pic everyday to keep a streak, it honestly becomes draining after a while. It’s the reason that many people I know who leave the app give.

Hello! I've been a religious nail biter for years and I finally wanted to put a stop to it. While searching for habit tracking solutions everything I found was just too much -- they almost all wanted you to download an app, send you notifications, get a bunch of your data, show you graphs and stuff. I didn't want any of this.

I made a very simple day-based habit tracking website called HabiTapper. It's open source and it's essentially Snapchat streaks for your habits.

 

Here's the flow for habit tracking

1. Create an account
2. Go to the settings page and set your time zone
3. Go to the habits page and create a habit
4. "Claim" your habit for the day -> Your habit streak will go up by one and you can't claim the habit again until the next day (relative to your timezone)
5. At midnight in your timezone, any habit streaks you didn't continue will be reset to zero

Why can’t I bring myself to break my Snapchat streak with my ex? We split in August and I feel it’s one of the only things still keeping me from moving on because we have to have some interaction although it’s rarely more then a caption less photo to keep the streak going we both put in an effort to keep it going. I’ve decided multiple times that I’m gonna end it but when the time comes to do it I feel like I take on a different mentality and become sentimental about it and don’t wanna end cause maybe that’ll end our only “reason” to continue interacting with each other

For a bit of context we’re not close friends whatsoever and we’ve never actually spoken, but snapchat being snapchat you can have ‘streaks’ with anyone I guess. She would send me a streak every day for a few weeks probably and I never once sent anything back I would just open and ghost in a way lol. One day she sent one and it said something like: ‘if you don’t want to do this then that’s fine but I don’t need people like you’. I was like the fuck did I do lmao, is not streaking back really that much of a deal geeez or am I really a big asshole?

You literally send either a picture of your floor or ceiling, and drawn a little S and send them to everyone. It's the only thing keeping you on the app, and I would say the reason why snapchat is still so actively used.

It's annoying when people get mad at you for not "snapping them back streaks," when I make it more obvious than the fact that the sky is blue that I don't care. I guess they're done to keep your snapscore up or some shit.

I don't see any reason to keep "streaks" and shit overall. They fill up your notifications, and make you seem "closer" to a person you probably don't even know by sending pictures of your ceiling or floor. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Hey everyone!

Not so much looking for affirmation, more so trying to get a few different brains on this situation.

Long and the short is that my wife has been talking/snapchatting her ex-boyfriend from over 6 years ago. To preface this situation, we have been together for a bit over 6 years, married going on a bit over a year and a half - have recently been in marriage counseling for 3 weeks now due to rocky roads financial wise but things have honestly been on the up and up, we argue better and are honestly communicating our need and feelings - or so I thought?

She went to walk the doggo tonight and left her phone on the couch - I normally don't ever search through her phone, as I trust her more than anyone I know. As I was walking past her phone to go to our room, her screen lit up with a snap notification from someone with the same exact name as her ex.

I picked her phone up, unlocked it, and upon opening Snapchat saw that she has a 64 day snap streak with this dude! I opened the snap and it was a pic of him - it was indeed her ex-boyfriend. To make matters worse, there is an emoji symbol next to his name with two hearts (💕) (which upon Googling, I found that it apparently means they have been each other's #1 snapped friend for 2 months straight)..

This is not the first time some shady stuff has happened with her and texting other guys - she had a male co-worker that was obviously interested in her about 8 or 9 months ago and I made it very apparent that I didn't like him, as he was texting her about non-work related stuff after 9-10 at night. So it came time for her to upgrade her phone and I was setting up her new one and saw that she had muted notifications from this guy - in the texts he had asked her to meet up for coffee and she had agreed but something had come up so it didn't happen.

I will admit I am not a good communicator when dealing with emotional stuff, especially when it is confronting someone I trust with my life (shout out foster care emotional trauma) so I held on to it for a few days to digest and then confronted her about it - she broke down and said she had muted the convo because she saw that I would get upset when he was texting her, work related or not.

We made up, she promised to not let anything happen like that again - that was the last time I checked her phone and then fast forward to now and I find this fucking garbage.

Regard the situation with her ex, I'm not sure what to do, I am obviously not meeting her
