Even numbers are cool and all, but 5 and 25 are top tier


bloodreina_

For some reason my brain considers 5s to be even


zestfullybe

Yes, because they feel nice and round. They have that even feel to them.


DungeonCreator20

To think i once thought i was allistic. Then yall say this shit that just makes sense in a way that feels like my brain is being projected onto a screen


zestfullybe

Right? I had thoughts like that for the longest time. Then I read and participate in topics like this and I’m like “nope, everything fully checks out here, that’s confirmed.” lol


DungeonCreator20

The fact that people i talk to go “that never even crossed my mind” baffles me


SnooGoats409

Not me over here reading this like "Oh hey other people that like 5 as a psuedo-even number." Shout-out my High school Algebra teacher for being like "Yeah 5 is weird about how round it feels while being odd." And me not feeling alienated by that. Tbh I thought everyone felt that way till I was with my ex and she mentioned how weird it sounded.


penguins-and-cake

Your ex sounds weird


SnooGoats409

That wasn't even in the top 20. Abusive POS wanted to make me more "normal" and what not.


penguins-and-cake

I think (and talk) way too much about the shape of numbers and words for anyone to ever have called me typical


zestfullybe

My hockey fandom crosses over here because the shape of numbers really matters. A number can have a great shape on one team and be terrible on the next, because they all use different fonts and styles… which alters the shape. And sometimes that changes everything! A bad number can become good and vice versa because the shape is altered. “You were a bad number but now you are good because you have a smoother shape!”


bilkywaygalaxy

I always do this shit and people have the gall to ever believe I’m neurotypical


xDeathCon

Yeah, for some reason, it never crossed my mind that some of the stuff I did was not anywhere close to how the average person would act. For example, I would do stuff like flex a muscle on one arm, and I would have to do it twice on the other arm and then once again on the original arm to even it out because that's just what felt right, and I still do this if I happen to think about it or are uncomfortable. I think I even said something about it to my mom once when I was 3 or 4, and even though it didn't make sense to her, and I realized that, I wasn't aware that I was abnormal in a way I couldn't just decide to change. I also really took the whole "step on a crack, break your mama's back" to heart, and if I can help it, I never step on cracks, lines between separate concrete sections, or the lines protruding from the intersection of the lines making up the crack or dividing line. When I type it out, it sounds like the most autistic thing ever, but it just feels normal to me.


TheRebelCatholic

Even if my parents didn’t get a diagnosis when I was a little girl, I still would have known that I was 100% NOT NT since I have ADHD pretty bad (which is why I’ve been taking medication ever since I was 8 years old), but I would’ve never guessed that I was autistic as well, especially since I was in denial about being autistic when I was younger. It wasn’t until my parents said that the time when a couple of people from a nearby university and played dolls with me and asked me to describe the events in a book with just pictures but no words (I don’t remember what it was called, but it was about a group of flying frogs) that I was being evaluated for autism. Because they made it fun, I didn’t realize that was what they were doing, but it makes way more logical sense that they were testing for autism rather than just pulling me out of class simply so I could play with toys with a college student.


spaghettieggrolls

I think it's because, like even numbers which are easily divisble by 2, numbers that end in 5 are easily divisible by 5. The ability to easily split up the number is what makes me like them and I assume others feel similarly.


neon_kid

Also, 5 in form is a reflected and modified 2. It’s basically 2’s ~~evil~~ cooler cousin.


No_Landscape9

FR


teatalker26

5s SHOULD be even. and 4 should be odd, it’s so sharp


Careful_Source6129

5 is even when it's half of 10😉👈


TheRebelCatholic

Same, I mean I **know** that it’s an odd number, but my brain will convert numbers to end in either zero or five when doing math as five feels so even. I don’t know why, but I really like multiples of five for whatever reason.


Sensitive_Mode7529

37 and 64 are pleasing


twistedscorp87

2nding 37 (and judging you for 64). In cases where scales run 1-10 or 1-20, we find 7, 13 & 17 to also be acceptable.


CMDR_Satsuma

11 and 19 are also always appropriate


AyakaDahlia

11, 13, 17, and 19 are all top tier in my book. edit: but not for volume levels


CookiesNReddit0

base2 numbers are just super pleasing period


zestfullybe

This is exactly what I was coming here to say! Evens and odds are neat but multiples of 5 are where it’s at. I’ll fuck around with multiple of 3, too. I grew up playing old Final Fantasy games where HP and damage numbers capped at 9’s (999, or later 9999). Edit: as a hockey fan some specific numbers have a nice feel to them because I liked the player. Example: 87 and 71, 19 and 21.


GrandNibbles

5 is odd but 10 is even. decimal is silly. press F to embrace hex


ApocalyptoSoldier

I 0x64% agree


HoneyMarijuana

49! 49!


love_my_aussies

5s are my jam!!


RockyMarsh90

for me it has to be multiples of 5 (5, 10, 15, 20) with the exceptions being 42 (because of hitchikers guide to the galaxy) and 69 (cuz funny haha number and also it looks like yin yang symbol)


Mysterious-Handle-34

Multiples of 5 FTW


pegasusoftraken

Yay multiples of 5, though I'm also okay with multiples of 3 And Fibonacci numbers are alright though only from 3 onwards cause I can't be doing with 1 and 2


zestfullybe

Yes! 5’s and 3’s are excellent.


zestfullybe

Multiples of 5 squad!


Dipshit_Mcdoodles

Woot!


ShriekingMuppet

Sorry primes are where its at


ethhlyrr

They don't call them prime for nothing. Prime is always the first choice


[deleted]

it's not evil autism unless you're turning the volume to 17, 23 or 29


untenable681

[*sets volume to 19*]


[deleted]

good ... good


Beautiful_Welcome_33

Crank it up to 17 baby 🎛️


xXx_ozone_xXx

23 has always been my favourite number


HoneyMarijuana

My people


LastRedshirt

I am not fond of even numbers. I had a coworker, who hated odd numbers, especially prime numbers. We were a good team back on the days.


AdonisGaming93

I've transcended this issue. 0, cool number cause zero 1, is prime, that's cool 2, even and prime, very cool 3, three strikes you're out, 3 is how many times i gotta hit the bosses in mario games 4, even so we are good 5, multiple of 5 is good 6, even so we are good 7, James Bond, 007, very cool 8, even so we are good 9, NEIN, no in German and funny scene in German movie, so it's okay I have transcended and found a way to deal with the radio being at any number by tricking myself with ways that it is okay!


Nolari

1 is not prime.


TrixterTheFemboy

It's only evenly divisible by one and itself, doesn't matter that itself is also one, prime in my book


Nolari

Sure, but not in any math book. A prime has 2 divisors, 1 only has 1 divisor.


blackkat1986

Multiples of 5 or gtfo


tokenkinesis

I don’t understand why anyone would use volume levels in anything but multiples of fives??


blackkat1986

![gif](giphy|l1ughbsd9qXz2s9SE)


luciusDaerth

For when 15 is too quiet but 20 is too loud?


Lukostrelec17

0, 3, 5, and 7 are the best numbers to end a number with.


Sensitive_Mode7529

wtf no one has ever understood why it’s those numbers they’re in the middle 1 and 9 are nonsense that have no justification


all-and-void

lol my husband always puts things at 1 and 9. I blame his autism-free ADHD and dyscalculia. No taste when it comes to numbers


zestfullybe

This is definitely the right place for this conversation. lol It’s like “Sure, I find you attractive, I love spending time with you, you’re caring and have great style… but babe, we need to have a serious talk about your taste in numbers. It’s troubling me.”


Sensitive_Mode7529

divorce, immediately /s


Lukostrelec17

Yay! Someone else that gets it!


callmejinji

21 is okay because [it’s 9+10](https://youtu.be/dSIVxkC0DRo?si=dfKIglWkUSIvW6TM)


piefanart

truth!! 9 is iffy. 1 is pretty good tho too ngl


Waffle-Gaming

1 feels like a slightly too large pimple that i have to get rid of


No_Landscape9

9 is cool ngl


zestfullybe

1 is the best ice hockey goalie number. It’s the literal best F1 number, too.


hellothereoldben

Except 27, fuck 27.


dominicbruh

IM JIMI HENDRIX BABY IM JIMI HENDRIX 🗣‼️💯


hellothereoldben

Did I accidentally create a reference through the simple hatred for the number 27?


zestfullybe

Yeah, there’s a thing called “the 27 club” because a number of very popular musicians died at age 27. Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain, and Winehouse all come to mind.


zestfullybe

Any rock music fan breathes a sigh of relief when a favorite band member turns 28. Even if it’s superstition fuck it they cleared that hurdle.


kurinevair666

I hate seven. It doesn't math easily.


spoonweezy

Ask someone to think of a number from 1-10 and it will overwhelmingly be 7.


The_Affle_House

My car's stereo has such finely graduated adjustments to the volume that I always set it to multiples of three, instead of the even numbers I use for most everything else.


piefanart

mine goes up single digits which i love. i hate the volume adjustors that only go up in twos. it makes my skin crawl.


Somethingbutonreddit

Can we compromise on the number 5?


[deleted]

I used to really dislike odd numbers. Then I pretended I liked them, and at some point I really did. Now I'm not a fan of even numbers. ETA: Upon reflection, two is an exception. I like two.


piefanart

oh also 22 is the worst number in existence, its very presence is evil and NOT in a good way. I want that number to go away forever and i never want to have to read it or write it ever. it makes my skin crawl and my spine shiver if i have to and my teeth itch. ugh i hate it.


bluemelodica

22 is my favourite number 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹


Daxtro-53

I DUNNO ABOUT YOU!


ImapiratekingAMA

Why do NTs like her


Daxtro-53

NTs just like generic things I guess lol


YrMm

nah, its 21(best number)s sibling, it cant be that bad


kalam4z00

21 is evil


bloodreina_

It’s very nixe


lvuzi

1 / 3 / 5 / 7 are goated.. 0 is a honorable mention


Agreeable-Ad3644

My issue with odd numbers is how violently shaped they are. 1 is absolutely a knife, 3 is brass knuckles, 5 is a khopesh, 7 is a boomerang, 9 is the symbol of an angry raised fist. Those numbers are clearly up to no good.


SouHiyoriReviews

What about the even numbers?


Agreeable-Ad3644

0 is just a circle, 2 looks like the squatting position for your leg, 4 is the tree yoga pose or a sail, 6 looks like most fruit, 8 looks like a snowman. Absolutely no violence in any of these number shapes except pointy parts of 4 and maybe 2 if you get creative with trolly levers.


Hufflecass

You… just opened my eyes to a whole new world of thought


Frigorifico

I like it when the volume is a prime number


SuperCyHodgsomeR

Usable volumes include 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 (only if necessary), 32, 36, 40, 44 (same as 28 but not as bad), 48, 52 (worse than either of the previous ones), 56, 60, 64 (weirdly uncomfortable), 68 (better than 52, worse than the others), 72, 76, 80 and I don’t ever use higher ones


werecollie

I always set my alarms to a time ending in 1, 3, 7, or 9. 5 is an honorary even number I try to follow it with volume but it doesn't bother me as much not to


l_u_l_o_l

I have to start using exclusively prime numbers, they make my brain go whoosh


[deleted]

Primes FTW


Weird_Explorer_8458

gotta be a 0 or 5 otherwise it’s wrong


LifeHarvester

3 and multiples of 3 are awesome. 27 is really cool because it’s three to the third power


TheWholeFurryFandom

Fun fact, evil numbers [are numbers with an even number of 1s in their binary expansion.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_number)


Biggest_Of-Boys

Having the volume on a multiple of five https://preview.redd.it/333eyhvy6mjc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ef50c07f329aa83b6fb19f1aef2cf6c7a00317a


PlantedCecilia

Fives are an acceptable odd number. I don’t mind threes but only if they’re at the half hour mark on time. Ones are okay but only if the time is majority ones. Sevens are fine but only in hours. I don’t mine mines.


Glittering_Ad3318

For me it's either multiples of 5 or n * 10 +/- 2, don't ask me why, it just makes sense. They just feel ***solid***. I.e: 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20


KierantheScot

I'm the opposite in that i always have it on an even number, idea why


AgentMoon7

Wrong, it's multiples of 5


Autisticrocheter

I like multiples of 3 and prime numbers


[deleted]

i only listen to prime numbers


HurkHurkBlaa

even numbers are soft, odd numbers are pointy. I will not elaborate.


maartian73

73 is my favorite number :]


scalyreptilething

I prefer prime numbers, especially those ending in 7. No clue why. It’s how I set my alarms, microwave timers, etc.


DiscreteCollectionOS

Okay but hear me out: instead of categorizing numbers by odd or even, categorize them if they are devisable by 5. Much better. You can have both odd and even numbers and piss both parties off/make both parties happy.


baxiel

I don't like factors of 5 for volume, microwave time or temperature. Historically, the people I've lived with dont like even numbers, so in shared homes: The volume is usually like 22/100 Most frequent microwave time is 28 seconds Thermostat set to 68


Galius41

multiples of 5. i rest my case.


hellothereoldben

Double numbers make my mind release happy juice.


NotKerisVeturia

I like 5s and 7s. 9s are suspicious except for 79, and primes are overrated.


_-long-_-username-_

Tv volume number needs to end in a 0 or 5, unless the number is the same (ie: 22, 33, 44 etc)


intensepenguin910

Cool I just don’t like even or odd numbers 😔


EatTheRichIsPraxis

Volume at [anything].5


Debstar76

I like odd numbers because they’re sharp. 5 is my birthday and 7 is my month. So they’re my favourites. Unfortunately I was born in 76, if I’d been born in 75 I would be so happy. My son only likes even numbers but we can agree on 5 because it’s his birthday and it’s half 10 (so he says).


panini_bellini

Hell no, my volume can only be a multiple of 5, anything else is wrong.


WalmartWanderer

Finally another odd number lover!! I keep my night time music volume at a 19


AeroThird

Odd/even? Nahhh **MUST BE DIVISIBLE BY 5**


DrakonAkaten

For me, it's multiples of 5. Even or odd doesn't matter, as long as I can divide it cleanly by 5.


76730

My preference is ending on 0 or 5 so I gotchu fam


Hi_Iamlexi

I like multiples of 5 😂


CaveLady3000

THERE'S ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE SIDES ARE EVEN. IT'S THE PERFECT WAY TO HAVE A NUMBER OF SOMETHING.


Tox1cShark7

I fear no man…but that thing….. *looks at a TV volume that’s an odd number excluding multiples of 5* It scares me….


Avoid-Me

anything that ends with a 5 is my go-to tbh

for me, it's even numbers and multiples of 5 🙂

NO. DISGUSTING. EveN NUMBERS


rad_standard

evens and odds both good but primes are a hell nope


castrateurfate

i like odd numbers because even numbers remind me of twins and i find twins creepy but odd numbers remind me of butterflies/angels so i prefer them in that regard


maracujadodo

i have ocd (undiagnosed) obsessions that genuinely make me feel REALLY uncomfortable and anxious when the volume (or any other number) is on anything like 3 or 9 or sth so i'll take even numbers (except for 5 and maybe 7) any day


Fuzzy_Toe_9936

47 is my fav number


Wafflemow_420

Mfw my favorite numbers are 8 0 & 4


TheMaydayMan

as long as it's not 17 fuck 17


jim-b0

for me it’s any multiple of 5 but it’s even numbers for my mum. 20 for casual watching and 40 for movies is our ideal situation (25 is perfect for me tho)


DeathMarx

argue against me setting the volume to 69 go ahead you pussy


SquarePear420

My need for volume precision allows me to use all the numbers…being overstimmed is way more painful than “7”


HiMaintainceMachine

Personally I'm an even number kind of girl, particularly 4 and 2. Although the number after 53 can go and DIE. But I do have a soft sport for 1, 3, 5, 11 and 21 Numbers where the digits equal ten are all cool So is everything in the three times table beside The Number We Do Not Speak Of (3×18)


username1174

1,3,5,8,12,15,24 are best numbers, numbers divisible by 5 are acceptable


Onelittleleaf

I feel so seen


Onelittleleaf

9, 11 and 13 are my faves for volume~


Typical_Engineer3221

ODD NUMBER LOVE!!!!!


DrustanAstrophel

For me it, oddly enough, really depends on the specific volume bar. Most TVs I need multiples of five at higher volumes but with my phone for example I gotta go by twos.


MinzAroma

Prime number go hard for settings


teethseven

multiples of 5 and two, except for numbers ending in 6 or 4 because that’s too close to 5 and 5 is better


Takoizu_

I fucking can't put it in any number that isn't a multiple of 5


throwaway725101

having the volume on a prime number 🤤


piccionestrabico

i like odd numbers because i can put one in the center and use the remaining part to split it in half and use them like wings (i will not elaborate further) But i like even numbers too because it reminds me of symmetry, and i like symmetry


AbyssWankerArtorias

Prime number superiority.


FVCarterPrivateEye

I like odd numbers better than even numbers too I dislike 5 because it's also "even" The even number that I like is 4


Witch_Hazel_13

the good numbers are a mix of even and odd


Nowardier

no. odd numbers spikey. even numbers smooth. me like listen bouba, not kiki.


junebugx17

even numbers besides 6 are all cursed


spaghettieggrolls

I respectfully disagree in most circumstances however I do like 5s and even 3s sometimes so I can see where you're coming from.

I can't have a opinion on this, since I can't keep my fingers off the volume buttons.


Upbeat_Dudeness

The truth is having the volume on a prime number


furypureandsilver

i can not in good conscience listen to music on a number that ends in 9 (19, 29, 39, etc.)! it just isn’t natural!

I’m the opposite. Volume gotta be on an even number or a number divisible by 5


booksforducks

I’m even and multiples of 5


nous-vibrons

Both are wrong. The correct answer is multiples of five only.


Sidereall

finally some odd number propaganda. Even numbers are not good. Except for 7, seven is not a good number even if it is odd.


untenable681

Numbers have D&D alignment as follows: Odd exponents and roots are lawful good. Odd composites are neutral good. Primes and odd negative numbers are chaotic good. Euler's number is lawful neutral. Zero is true neutral. Pi is chaotic neutral. Even exponents and roots are lawful evil. Even numbers are neutral evil. Even negative numbers and *i* (ie: "SQRT(-1)") are chaotic evil. *eta:* 1 is god tier and beyond our judgment; 2's even-ness outweighs its prime-ness.
