Thank You, Repeated
Thank you set out one hundred times below, joined by single spaces. That block is 999 characters. The buttons rebuild it at 1,000 or 10,000 copies, and the file button saves it as plain text.
Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times
100 copies — 999 characters.
What 100 copies weighs
The phrase is nine characters and the copies are joined with one space, so a run of any count comes to ten times the count minus one. That is 999 characters at 100 copies, 9,999 at 1,000 and 99,999 at 10,000. Every block stops one character short of a round number.
| Copies | Characters | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 999 | Fits in one Discord message, which stops at 2,000 characters |
| 1,000 | 9,999 | Five messages at that cap, or 66 SMS parts |
| 10,000 | 99,999 | More than a phone clipboard handles well – take the file |
Where people use it
- Answering a group chat that just sent a hundred birthday messages, one thank you for each.
- End-of-stream and end-of-video walls, where the size of the block is the point and the words are not.
- Filling a card, a slide or a leaving present with one phrase repeated until it fills the space.
- Test text, where any string of a known length will do and this one is exactly 999 characters.
Two things to check first
Automated moderation is good at repeated identical text, and the more copies you send the more likely it is that the message is held or the account is rate-limited. Send 100 rather than 10,000 if the account matters to you.
The block is one long line, not one copy per line. Anything that wraps text will reflow it to the width of the window, so it looks different on a phone than it does on a desktop. If you want a column, paste it into a text editor and swap each space for a line break.

Softer or more apologetic versions: please and sorry. For the message that usually comes before the thanks, there is happy birthday. Every phrase on the site is listed on the repeat text hub.
