Appreciation post: Hit 500 switches lubed in one sitting... with a movie

I sat down Saturday morning to lube some spare Gateron yellows I got for a budget build. Put on a cheesy action movie, grabbed my brush and little tub of Krytox 205g0. Before I knew it the credits rolled and I had done 500 switches clean without even noticing. Has anyone else accidentally hit a big milestone like that just from zoning out?

honestly i dont get the hype. lubing switches is such a tedious chore and 500 at once sounds like a nightmare. i'd rather just buy pre-lubed ones and save myself the hand cramps. but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Right?! I did a batch of 100 once and my thumbs were sore for days. Can't even imagine doing 500, that's just asking for carpal tunnel or something.
