Say I Love You, Repeated

One hundred copies of the exact phrase say i love you, ready to select and paste. The box below rebuilds it at 1000 or 10000 copies, or repeats a phrase of your own instead.

Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times

100 copies — 1,499 characters.

The word “say” ends up in every copy

“Say I love you 100 times” is an instruction, but a repeater is not listening for instructions. It repeats the string it is handed, so the block above carries the word “say” a hundred times over. If what you wanted was the message itself, use i love you repeated and set the count to 100 there.

What a hundred copies comes to

Fourteen characters and four words per copy, which makes the block 1,499 characters and exactly 400 words. That is longer than a double-spaced typed page, which runs about 250 words, and still short enough to sit inside a single Discord message, which caps at 2,000 characters. At 1,000 copies it is 14,999 characters and needs eight messages. As an SMS the 100-copy block splits into ten parts of 153 characters.

Character count at each size

1,000 14,999 4,000
10,000 149,999 40,000

At 10,000 copies the file is about 146 KB. Nothing pastes that cleanly, so take the .txt download instead.
