Welcome to ThisSecondIsMine.com, the place where you can claim a single, glorious second out of 86,400 in a day—and label it forever as yours. From the humble Bronze second to the once-in-a-lifetime Diamond second (#0), each moment is waiting for your personal touch. Ready to begin? Explore these rules, then head to the Home Page or browse the Gallery to stake your claim!
Each of the 86,400 daily seconds can only be claimed by a single person—and once it’s sold, it’s gone for good. “Time-sharing” is so 1990s, sorry!
Seconds fall into ranks that determine cost and message/image limits:
Bronze – $10, 20 chars, 3 words
Silver – $35-$70, 27 chars, 3 words
Mystery – $30, 35 chars, 4 words (always lands on “:13,” final rank revealed later)
Golden – $100, 35 chars, 4 words (iconic times like 11:11:11 or #1337)
Diamond – $10,000, 45 chars, 5 words (#0 only)
Your second’s rank also sets how many characters and words you can use in your message. Embrace the challenge: short and sweet = more impact.
On Claim Preview, you’ll do:
(1) Email, (2) Name, (3) Message, (4) Image, (5) Charities, (6) Payment.
No second is truly yours until all 6 steps (and a final second-availability check) are done.
Upload exactly one image (up to 20MB, JPG/PNG/WEBP). Keep it classy, respectful, and portrait is recommended for best visual charm.
Select up to three charities. Half your payment splits evenly among them. Check out the full list here. Feel good about turning seconds into generosity!
Purchased seconds go into a short review queue before showing up in the Gallery. We’ll weed out anything hateful or universe-shattering.
Approved seconds remain under your name forever. No selling, swapping, or transferring. It’s time…all yours!
Keep it respectful—no hateful, explicit, or spammy stuff. For details on how we keep data safe, see our Privacy Policy.
Clicking around like a caffeinated ferret? If you exceed normal usage, you might see our RateLimitExceeded page. Breathe, then come back calmly.
Only those 16 or older can own a second. Sorry, future time-lords in training.
We reserve the right to update these rules at will. We promise to do so with care, and maybe a sprinkle of cosmic glitter.
