Do you correlate dates with times on a digital clock?

I mean oddities mostly. I corelate the area code of my highschool love, and often the birthday of another. It has no significance beyond a few pleasant memories, but it is just one of life's oddities for me. Do you experience similar oddities?

I always have a little chuckle at 13:37. It's one of those times that I irrationally feel I see more often than any other time, but it's just that I notice that specific set of numbers more than any other... or maybe I check the time at exactly the same point each day because my body clock is 1337!

4:04

Oh no, my clock is broken.

It's better than the minute prior - I can't even read my clock at that time!

Just relax and make some tea at 4:18 :) No coffee though!

Time not found?

"I have no time for you."

What clock?

Every day at 8:08 I emit a single loud bass note

I wanna hear what you sound like at 3:03

That's the time of day that my stomach gurgles

What do you mean by correlate, could you provide an example?

I like to make wishes at 11:11 and 12:34 but they “won’t come true” if I look at the clock again on the same time (eg. see it’s 11:11, make a wish, can’t look until 11:12 at least).

Like at 7:04 you might think of July 4th. All numerical dates are represented on a 12 hour clock (e: if you're using mmdd). I'm asking if your pattern recognition software is picking up on such a meaningless correlation and giving it some pleasant side effect or if that is not a very common mental connection.

All numerical dates are represented on a 12 hour clock.

Only if you use mmdd date format. The majority of the world uses ddmm.

Yeah, but neither makes sense any more. I use yymmdd in my default file naming for natural sorting hierarchy. I just don't think in that context. I guess that makes this post an interesting reflection from a couple of extra angles.

Our US 3 digit area codes for phone number regions are likely not really paralleled elsewhere in the world either. It's interesting all the little cultural subtleties that shape the mind.

Blazeit.

17:38 is an inside joke with my friend so don't know if that counts. 13:37 always makes me smile.

12:34 is known as “simulation time” in my house, the time we notice the most out of sheer happenstance. Clearly the simulation has a hard time coming up with anything better when I look at the clock.

I see my sister’s birthday and 13:12 a lot, which make me chuckle
