At one time it was discovered that there was no nesting limit.
And of course that caused people to start the "bottles of beer thread".
We got something like ~~2,000 or 3,000~~ 1,300 into it before literal devs came into the thread and begged us to stop "you are breaking Reddit".
That resulted in the thread being shut down and nesting limits implemented. What those limits are, I do not know. I just know at one time they didn't exist.

~~They got to nearly 10 million?!?~~
Ok I read the comments wrong lol still that's crazy
I love how literal devs had to come in and ask them to stop lmao
The fact that the top comment is, "what now?", "you ever try Minecraft?"
