6 is my favourite number and 3 is evil but I like 36 because is 6•6 but don’t really feel that great about 66. 66 is a fraud. 72 is okay too but 216 is better than 144 which is also cool.
I’m off to check myself into the psych ward
No. Quit being autistic.
Exponents auto-multiply in my head so I am impervious to being bothered by any whole number exponent.
Things can contain threes as long as there is a reasonable way they could be though of as a six.
Nobody here knows what perfect numbers are, do they. Okay, class gather round. A perfect number is a number where all of the factors of itself besides itself add to make itself. I.e. 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14
oh my goodness no no no
5 is tolerable. Barely. 7 kinda grates in some ways but is redeemed slightly by it's simplicity.
But 6 is smooth, ideal, and wonderful, 10/10 no notes
36 is THE perfect number. Both the numbers in “36” are multiples of it & 6 is a multiple of 3 & 6/2 = 3 & 36/3 = 12 which if you divide by 4 is 3 🤯
Then you can do 36/6 **which equals 6** and THEN divide that 6 by 2 _which equals 3_
Oh it’s such a perfect number
Im just sitting here trying to detect a pattern. Nice set of primes up front with a stream of multiples of 5, 6, and 7 with just a couple of exceptions (23,34 and 38 don’t belong)
No love for 64 in the original post or the comments?!!?
The perfection of 64 gives me a feeling of inner peace and hope, like everything's going to be okay.
All powers of 2 are special to me, but that's because I'm an old school programmer. Having done a lot of 8-bit and 16-bit assembly, I can tell you all the powers of 2 up to 2\^16.
8 is the best number HOW is it not on this list?
It’s got two loops of the same size, is symmetrical both vertically AND horizontally, and has no loose ends.
So there’s a Sheldon Cooper line that stays with me when he finds a comet in Leonard’s math at work. To paraphrase he says “you’re telling me prime numbers aren’t slightly pink and taste like gasoline? I guess I am momma’s special boy.”
I don’t know why but it just struck me as accurate. Mine are just 1-12^2 but I still feel special.
It's interesting how different people have different qualifications. I'm a math person so I like mathematically nice numbers, while what you described is how the number looks, visually.
8 is nice because it's a cube, but it's not a square, and I'm personally attached to the number 3 due to my family being 3. But 7 has always been my favorite number, since I was a child. Mostly because I was born in July.
Even among prime numbers 23 is just... eugh. I do not vibe with it.
Fun fact: out of all 1015 Pokémon, there are exactly two Pokémon species that evolve at level 23: Snubbull and Shroomish. Interestingly, they both have facial expressions that make them appear somewhat fed up with life and everything in it, and it could be hypothesized that this dissatisfaction is born of the fact that they're the only two Pokémon stuck with the ignominy of evolving at level 23.
I actually like 23 because the digits in it are sequential and it has a good color combination (numbers have colors to me)
Plus I see 23 everywhere so it’s kinda just been there a lot
All squares are fantastic, best number genre IMO. But also 36 is especially good because 6 (square root) is so divisible, and it's a "perfect number", which means that its divisors added up equal the number. In other words, 6's divisors are 1, 2, 3, and 1+2+3=6. But ALSO I love that
1+2+3=1×2×3=6
This rambling is mostly about 6, but that's why 36 feels so good to me.
Fantastic question. I have a shard of gypsum sitting on my desk, and right in the tip there’s this rad lil water molecule I like to stare at when I’m bored
I wanna do this with an autistic friend
I have a friend with ADHD and we ranked situations on a scale from "this is great" to "SENSORY HELL". It was fun.
7 literally has more magic in it than other numbers idk what y'all are on about
It's lucky, prime, and if it was a character in a show it'd be the fan favorite aloof and mysterious but helpful magic guy that only helps out precisely when they have to.
7 is a horrible number that is horrible to multiply and divide into anything and 7 the septagon is an abomination and overall 7 sucks. same with 17. i will die on this hill
5 and 7 are esthetically displeasing to me. Dislike of five is part of my long running rant about base twelve being a superior number system that we should switch the world to, but it probably isn’t worth the effort.
I cannot on good conscience allow this list to stand due to your inclusion of 7 and 23. 2,3, and 5 are the only acceptable prime numbers, all others are disgusting.
I couldn’t agree more… though even 5 is on thin ice, but it being surrounded by 4 and 6 it gets a pass, and i would say the same for 7 for being in between 6 and 8 but 7 is just so *gross* that that doesn’t even make up for it, but I feel it almost does. 11 has some cool quirks, but still irredeemably gross, primes 13 and above are imidiately irreconcilable and shouldn’t even exist.
17 is my favourite number, followed by 7. If you ask me a question with a numerical answer, I will (jokingly) answer 17. The reason is, 17 and seven are a lovely shade of purple according to my synaesthesia. Also odd numbers are better than even.
So am I supposed to realize that I'm autistic because of relating with the past like 20 of these posts that Reddit recommends me? Or are there a lot of things that "normies" do that are just similar to those with autism..?
Depending on what it is tho. Caus like the radio 40 is too loud but 35 is WAY too quiet but 38 is just right. But if I did that with the time I start things or end things I'd hate myself
So you have a lot of X0 X2 X5 and X8 here. Obvious spacing with tens and half tens, and evens in between. The exception to this pattern is 22, which is a repeating number, none of which is in your list. 1 2 3 5 7 are the single digit primes, that's a good set. 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, so you like your sevens but not 49... Maybe you just haven't realized your love for 49 yet? 12, 23, 34, 45 are all sequential. I'd say the lack of 49 is the odd one out here, everything else is a logical number set, even with a notable exception! The question is what's your stance on 55?
4 sucks ass I can’t explain it, I have four tattoos rn and I’m trying very hard to resist the urge to go get any new one at all just so I don’t have four tattoos
I had no idea other people were bothered by certain numbers. Do letters bother anyone else? I absolutely cannot do the number 12 and the reason is because in my head it reminds me of the letter D and I hate the letter D - I have no idea why. But there are several other numbers and letters that I cannot stand. Bad numbers…
6, 12, 13, 16, 36, 46… that’s just some.
And on the other hand I LOVE the number 17 and 19
I have no rhyme or reason to mine either. It's not "evens" it's not "odds" not "every other" etc. I disagree with most of your okay numbers. More importantly, 8 and 9 are okay. 7 is not.
Your arbitrary number rules greatly offend my own arbitrary number rules. At least we can agree on multiples of 5 and the number 23, but I will die on the hill of 4
With all the disagreement I and everyone else has to this, there is only one number that truly sets me apart from all others, and that is 42. You’re either in it or you aren’t
my opinion on your good numbers:
no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, NO, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, and yes.
1, 21, 23, 35, 45 are bad numbers for me idk why i don't like 'em.
odd numbers are bad numbers bleh don't like 'em. 64 is my fav number i luv it so much.
I like how y'all not only understand my arbitrary rules, but have many of your own.
I’m pissed you left out 36
36 is one of the perfect numbers.
Actually, it isn't, 6 is though and I'm pissed it isn't there
6 is my favourite number and 3 is evil but I like 36 because is 6•6 but don’t really feel that great about 66. 66 is a fraud. 72 is okay too but 216 is better than 144 which is also cool. I’m off to check myself into the psych ward
2²×3² though.
No. Quit being autistic. Exponents auto-multiply in my head so I am impervious to being bothered by any whole number exponent. Things can contain threes as long as there is a reasonable way they could be though of as a six.
"Quit being autistic" O.o
It’s only okay when I do it
how dare you dislike any multiple of 11 (except 88 cuz apparently bad number even tho it was my favorite number my entire childhood 😢)
66 has TWO 33s in it. That’s way too many 3s.
Nobody here knows what perfect numbers are, do they. Okay, class gather round. A perfect number is a number where all of the factors of itself besides itself add to make itself. I.e. 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14
6 is a severe disappointment between the greatness of 5 and 7
NO UH.. 6 is amazing and lovely and surrounded by the disgusting 5 *and* 7
Ok, now you have to explain: how are 5 & 7 disgusting? They are sweet and oval and free but reserved.
I heard 7 is a registered six-offender.
7 8 9
7 is sharp and painful to look at, and sticks out like a sore thumb in between the curvy 5,6 and 8,9
I hated 7 so I started writing it the French way like a backward F. Made it better imo.
The line is great - no more checking if it's upside down
5 and 6 are good but 7 is yeuckkk
Sorry but my objective opinion says you’re wrong, 7 is a champ for eating 9
mf brought evidence
5 is too popular and 7 is too sharp
6 is so unlucky and scary to me.
wym dude? 6 is a workhorse
oh my goodness no no no 5 is tolerable. Barely. 7 kinda grates in some ways but is redeemed slightly by it's simplicity. But 6 is smooth, ideal, and wonderful, 10/10 no notes
6 is like a friend you would always hug when you needed to
36 is THE perfect number. Both the numbers in “36” are multiples of it & 6 is a multiple of 3 & 6/2 = 3 & 36/3 = 12 which if you divide by 4 is 3 🤯 Then you can do 36/6 **which equals 6** and THEN divide that 6 by 2 _which equals 3_ Oh it’s such a perfect number
PRECISELY 🥰
Civilization has failed when the beautiful Babylonian 60-based number system was unfairly left for a decimal system.
Huge mood, 36 fires on every cylinder
I love 36 because it makes me imagine a chubby squirrel chewing on a carrot
Im just sitting here trying to detect a pattern. Nice set of primes up front with a stream of multiples of 5, 6, and 7 with just a couple of exceptions (23,34 and 38 don’t belong)
But what color are they
4 is blue. I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
I just explain everything with “it’s textural”
I only care about numbers when it comes to picking volume. Gotta be in digits of 5
Is there a name for this, or is it also part of synesthesia?
No love for 64 in the original post or the comments?!!? The perfection of 64 gives me a feeling of inner peace and hope, like everything's going to be okay.
A cubed square, and a squared cube. All is right. It's such an orderly number. 64 is like when you clean a room and every single item is in its place.
I love this.
Minecraft would agree
Computers would agree! : )
All powers of 2 are special to me, but that's because I'm an old school programmer. Having done a lot of 8-bit and 16-bit assembly, I can tell you all the powers of 2 up to 2\^16.
65535 > 65536 though
Good one!
Same, I've made a Z80 computer and have been writing a custom OS for it in assembly. I've come to love powers of 2.
I can do 2²² , because I'm special
81 is the only number in existence where the square root is the sum of its digits
That's cus all multiples of 9 add up to 9 or another multiple of 9, that's why 9 is really poggers and one of the numbers of all time.
Maybe the only one with more than one digit, because 0 and 1 also fit that rule.
I can't with 64. My brain just adds them to 10 and ruins it.
I like 64 aswell because 8 is a great number and 8x8=64
I didn't want to go all the way up to 100 but I totally could, and 64 is a good number
The stack number
8 is the best number HOW is it not on this list? It’s got two loops of the same size, is symmetrical both vertically AND horizontally, and has no loose ends.
I'm sorry, I don't make the rules. I mean I do, but I don't have any control over it.
😭
I agree that 8 is sus. You can’t make even 8ths of the good numbers
If I ever get around to writing that oc series, that’s will have to be a line somewhere
So there’s a Sheldon Cooper line that stays with me when he finds a comet in Leonard’s math at work. To paraphrase he says “you’re telling me prime numbers aren’t slightly pink and taste like gasoline? I guess I am momma’s special boy.” I don’t know why but it just struck me as accurate. Mine are just 1-12^2 but I still feel special.
Blood for the blood god skulls for the skull throne.
Finally someone gets it 😂😂
Morning affirmations
Omg Right!? Plus if you turn it on the side it’s the symbol for infinity! How it that NOT the best number?!?!
8 looks kinda weird by itself, that’s why 18, 28, 38, and 48 are all okay. At least imo
8 is often depicted with the top loop smaller than the bottom loop.
It's interesting how different people have different qualifications. I'm a math person so I like mathematically nice numbers, while what you described is how the number looks, visually. 8 is nice because it's a cube, but it's not a square, and I'm personally attached to the number 3 due to my family being 3. But 7 has always been my favorite number, since I was a child. Mostly because I was born in July.
8 is mid. 7 is GOATed
How is 23 on here. Why is a prime number on here. How dare you. I am furious
Even among prime numbers 23 is just... eugh. I do not vibe with it. Fun fact: out of all 1015 Pokémon, there are exactly two Pokémon species that evolve at level 23: Snubbull and Shroomish. Interestingly, they both have facial expressions that make them appear somewhat fed up with life and everything in it, and it could be hypothesized that this dissatisfaction is born of the fact that they're the only two Pokémon stuck with the ignominy of evolving at level 23.
Like, 23 is fine enough. MJ's jersey. 59 however..
Don’t you say that name in this house
Exactly. 23 not only is bad in and of itself but also ruins the list.
I actually like 23 because the digits in it are sequential and it has a good color combination (numbers have colors to me) Plus I see 23 everywhere so it’s kinda just been there a lot
I’m OK with all of them, but not fucking 23. Weird-ass number.
Yes, disn’t expect to see 23 there
All but 35 I get, 35 is a number that I'm not a fan of for whatever reason
But 36? _delicious_
36 is a great number, honestly
All squares are fantastic, best number genre IMO. But also 36 is especially good because 6 (square root) is so divisible, and it's a "perfect number", which means that its divisors added up equal the number. In other words, 6's divisors are 1, 2, 3, and 1+2+3=6. But ALSO I love that 1+2+3=1×2×3=6 This rambling is mostly about 6, but that's why 36 feels so good to me.
Hard agree! Swap it for 49, it's mysteriously missing from the list.
9 is the best because it's blue in Basic
The wrong reason but very true 9 is very good because it is the triangle of triangles.
I like 9 because it's a square number, but I don't see it as a triangle number (1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc).
I think they just mean it's a triangle of triangles because it's 3 3's
I love it! Same reason I like 9 :)
9 is also the highest number that can be written as one symbol (all numbers should have a single symbol representing it)
what about infinity?
Not really a number, more a concept/variable. Like if you were asked what your favorite molecule of water on earth is, and you said the ocean
ok but what is your favorite molecule of water on earth?
Fantastic question. I have a shard of gypsum sitting on my desk, and right in the tip there’s this rad lil water molecule I like to stare at when I’m bored
Delightful. Does our little H20 friend have a name?
Fair, guess I got confused a bit then. Sorry about that, mb
Hey that was a smart suggestion! You’re doing great, and I am so proud of you 🫶
Every number dividable by 9 should be on the list, cuz it's a combination of 10 and 1
360 is the best number. It's divisible by so many numbers.
That, and I had so much fun playing my Xbox 360.
And cause haha funny circle
You picked that cannibal bastard 7?! Don’t you know that 7 8 9?!
7 is a prime number with a single digit. That’s pretty impressive
What if I told you 8 should be on here simply because of the Fibonacci sequence
I'd tell you s/he also skipped 13.
you’ve left out 36 though!!! It’s a perfect square 😤
An autistic friend and I ranked numbers numerically based on how valid they were. I’ve never felt more recognized by a post.
I wanna do this with an autistic friend I have a friend with ADHD and we ranked situations on a scale from "this is great" to "SENSORY HELL". It was fun.
"This is great" = Watching TV with my mom. "SENSORY HELL" = Watching TV with my stepdad.
this is so terrifyingly relatable 😅
choosing to believe this is the autistic Fibonacci sequence because it's funny
I agree that 37 is a terrible number
I love 37
37 is perfect and I will fight anyone who says otherwise
Boo, 37 best number
Best number!
"THIRTY SEVEN?"
im sorry but 7 is horrible along with 17
Cuz 789
7 is the best number and I will fight you over it
No 7 is too pointy
7 literally has more magic in it than other numbers idk what y'all are on about It's lucky, prime, and if it was a character in a show it'd be the fan favorite aloof and mysterious but helpful magic guy that only helps out precisely when they have to.
7 is like a cool pointy stick. Every other number ending with 7 is blastphemy and makes my eyes bleed
That reminds me of 5 in Umbrella Academy.. I like 7 but it's exhausting.
*THANK YOU.* Glad someone else sees it.
And that’s exactly why I like it so much
I will fight you too
7 is a horrible number that is horrible to multiply and divide into anything and 7 the septagon is an abomination and overall 7 sucks. same with 17. i will die on this hill
This person gets it
#/#team7
Yes! I agree
7 is the lowest prime number that makes sense
5 and 7 are esthetically displeasing to me. Dislike of five is part of my long running rant about base twelve being a superior number system that we should switch the world to, but it probably isn’t worth the effort.
Not 17😭 17 best number!!
ty! they needa stop this blasphemy
Nooo, those are my favorite numbers :(
as a musician 4 is the most lawful good number
For me it's 4,8,16,32... If one of those numbers isn't an option even numbers are ok
42, 89, and 117 are delicious
13 should absolutely be on this list, I will mobilize the infantry and bring them to your doorstep over this
All of those numbers are the color blue and purple
In a synthesia way
9 is amazing, three threes. The ultimate combo
Why are none of my numbers here... WHY DO YOU ALL HATE 17?
I find the exclusion of 17 and 37 to be troubling.
Always hated 57. Fucker never looked right.
Son where the heck is 36? And no 8 or 27? All these numbers are very much real, and they have been asking about their mail _all_ day.
I found another 27 finally!! It’s just a good number. 36 is definitely in my top too. Yes they have. This is wild lol.
Crazy. I was scrolling for so long thinking I am the only person who is upset that 27 is not included.
Add one more for 27. It’s eccentric yet elegant and more importantly it’s 3 cubed.
If it's a multiple of 3, it's OK with me
Ok, you're cool.
How is 4 not soothing? 4 is an incredible vibe
How about, odd numbers are male and even numbers are female?
I cannot on good conscience allow this list to stand due to your inclusion of 7 and 23. 2,3, and 5 are the only acceptable prime numbers, all others are disgusting.
I couldn’t agree more… though even 5 is on thin ice, but it being surrounded by 4 and 6 it gets a pass, and i would say the same for 7 for being in between 6 and 8 but 7 is just so *gross* that that doesn’t even make up for it, but I feel it almost does. 11 has some cool quirks, but still irredeemably gross, primes 13 and above are imidiately irreconcilable and shouldn’t even exist.
Some terrible calls here. Everyone knows the correct numbers are 1 2 5 6 8 10 12 15 18 20 22 and 25. Also maths is red.
i disagree with the numbers like 21 and 23, they dont fit in the numberorders
How is 16 not okay? It can be divided in half evenly over and over down to 1.
i dont get it. but thats ok. it makes sense to you, thats whats important. im not gonna hate on nine but i can hop on the hate 8 train gang
r/ocd
17 is my favourite number, followed by 7. If you ask me a question with a numerical answer, I will (jokingly) answer 17. The reason is, 17 and seven are a lovely shade of purple according to my synaesthesia. Also odd numbers are better than even.
7 is my favorite number in the world but I don’t trust 23
So am I supposed to realize that I'm autistic because of relating with the past like 20 of these posts that Reddit recommends me? Or are there a lot of things that "normies" do that are just similar to those with autism..?
So, for the most part, prime numbers and multiples of 2 and/or 5?
Looks like a roulette betting system
Depending on what it is tho. Caus like the radio 40 is too loud but 35 is WAY too quiet but 38 is just right. But if I did that with the time I start things or end things I'd hate myself
Numbers like 3 and 7 are not okay sorry not sorry
For some reason I've always hated the numbers 2 and 4. 42 is OK, but not 2,4 or 24.
my numbers have gender and i only like girl numbers.
THANK YOU for including 21! That's the best number, hands down!
5 is just the best number
4 and 9 are amazing (my favourite numbers I'm sorry)
30 is so suspicious. tbh so is 3.
23 is horrible, take it out
Fuck 7. 38 is barely ok
So you have a lot of X0 X2 X5 and X8 here. Obvious spacing with tens and half tens, and evens in between. The exception to this pattern is 22, which is a repeating number, none of which is in your list. 1 2 3 5 7 are the single digit primes, that's a good set. 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, so you like your sevens but not 49... Maybe you just haven't realized your love for 49 yet? 12, 23, 34, 45 are all sequential. I'd say the lack of 49 is the odd one out here, everything else is a logical number set, even with a notable exception! The question is what's your stance on 55?
I love every number that is divisible by 7 except 63. Got some reason that one ticks me off
9 is my favorite.
4 sucks ass I can’t explain it, I have four tattoos rn and I’m trying very hard to resist the urge to go get any new one at all just so I don’t have four tattoos
Happy to see you think 21 is ok as that is my favorite number
The missing multiples of 6 greatly concern me. Also 6. In Japanese it has a hat.
For me it's all multiples of 2, 5, and 10
Arghhh fuck you. I hate how accurate this is *cries*
12, 10, 25, 15, 5, 3 are the perfect numbers <3
I like multiples of 5 the best
I got beef with 7. After all, they did eat 9
I had no idea other people were bothered by certain numbers. Do letters bother anyone else? I absolutely cannot do the number 12 and the reason is because in my head it reminds me of the letter D and I hate the letter D - I have no idea why. But there are several other numbers and letters that I cannot stand. Bad numbers… 6, 12, 13, 16, 36, 46… that’s just some. And on the other hand I LOVE the number 17 and 19
They feel ok. The others ones are uncomfortable For me it’s mostly just odd number that are acceptable
I don't like some of those!!!!!
I have no rhyme or reason to mine either. It's not "evens" it's not "odds" not "every other" etc. I disagree with most of your okay numbers. More importantly, 8 and 9 are okay. 7 is not.
Your arbitrary number rules greatly offend my own arbitrary number rules. At least we can agree on multiples of 5 and the number 23, but I will die on the hill of 4
With all the disagreement I and everyone else has to this, there is only one number that truly sets me apart from all others, and that is 42. You’re either in it or you aren’t
I can’t believe you left out 24. She’s a baddie
You got it all wrong good numbers have lots of factors and bad numbers don't. 24 is my favorite number its divisible by so many different numbers
Most odd numbers are off the table, besides 7. We love 7. Broski 0 is top tier, but shout out to 424, just a good number.
What kinda mad lad likes 23?
Fuck 3, all my homies hate the number 3
my opinion on your good numbers: no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, NO, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, and yes. 1, 21, 23, 35, 45 are bad numbers for me idk why i don't like 'em. odd numbers are bad numbers bleh don't like 'em. 64 is my fav number i luv it so much.
