First of all, let's hand out some disqualifications. This description doesn't fit in a single Tweet, it clearly makes reference to other Tweets (as well as arguably circularly referencing itself):https://twitter.com/ShareDVI/status/1165731666725408768 …

If by "And so on" we assume that the nines continue for the remainder of the Tweet, that's 276 nines. That's still three arrows, but a MUCH larger exponenthttps://twitter.com/waynejwerner/status/1165837725410504704 …

haha Knuth up-arrows go brrrhttps://twitter.com/halcanary/status/1165734655292837890 …

Nobody specifically entered Graham's number, but this is slightly bigger than that, and easily outclasses any expression using a small, writeable number of up-arrowshttps://twitter.com/tef_ebooks/status/1165725289705607169 …

This is a pretty large number. Kruskal's much faster-growing TREE function is such that TREE(3) obliterates Graham's number in terms of scale. This, however, is TREE^41(420)https://twitter.com/LostSnowdrift/status/1166096988904906752 …

I could be dead wrong about this but I'm fairly sure Kruskal's TREE function is computable with much less than a ~120 state Turing Machinehttps://twitter.com/ijks_w/status/1165727070305038337 …

This value is smaller than, but probably in the vicinity of, BB(9999) in terms of scale, therefore far surpassing BB(120) abovehttps://twitter.com/linyks/status/1165748190890483712 …

The Radó maximum shift function is closely related to BB in terms of growth rate but this is the first entry to start using such functions recursively instead of just passing in basic literal numbers. Excellent callhttps://twitter.com/mcallisterjp/status/1166353418002284545 …

Not 100% certain that this is the winner but it looks suspiciously similar in construction to Rayo's number, which won a large number duel at MIT. Well donehttps://twitter.com/MaskedTorah/status/1167006809296531456 …

Now to take a big sip of coffee and assume I made no errors whatsoever
