Every time I look at the clock, it's 9:11
« on: August 26, 2009, 11:13:37 PM »
This has been going on for about a year.  In the morning and at night, I always look at the clock when it's 9:11.  It started out as a joke-- "oh shit, it's 9:11, bad omen!"  and at 9:12 "now I'm living in a post-9:11 world."

Am I going to die?  are the world's smallest terrorists going to fly the world's smallest plane into my head and destroy my brain?  is my brain just doing some confirmation bias shit (psychology majors, halp)?

confirmation bias, you look at the same amount of numbers on a clock every day you just don't give them special significance

It's a common phenomenon.

Pre-9/11, everyone seemed to be seeing 8:11. Go figure.

You should probably just kill yourself now so that you can keep the terrorists from winning.

12:34 is mine. I had an ex-girlfriend point it out to me and it's been in my head ever since.

I ALWAYS SEE THE ARROW

Ugh, sometimes it feels like the internet is running in circles, and I've been watching it too long.

I used to see 11:20 all the time, which was the date that one of my friends' mothers died.

maybe you should set your clock so that it doesn't read one time.

Every time I look at the clock - like a sixth of the time - it's within ten minuets to the hour.  freaky.
