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!

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've seen specific numbers so many times I know we're living in a sim
For me it's 148.
I see my sister’s birthday and 13:12 a lot, which make me chuckle
Yes. I call it my "birthtime," even though that name technically shadows another data point.
I have a little chuckle whenever I see it's 7:07.
I haven't been on a date in such a long time, so I'm afraid I can't be much help here.
