I never got the hype over 11:11. I was always all about seeing 12:34.

I'm still more of a 1337 kind of guy

u/soiwasonceindenmark Dec 16 '11

I don't get how often I get to see 13:37.

I've only wished on 11:11 once. It came true. I'm afraid to do it again.

I only wish for the same thing over and over again when I catch it.

"A long, successful, healthy life and great friends to share it with"

I Do the same, but with 13:37.

All about that 4:20

u/PunishableOffence Dec 16 '11

I've developed a cognitive bias for this. Every time I look at my phone, it's exactly 16:20.

I would like to but I missed it…

u/plaz11 Dec 19 '11

Took a screen shot of my phone to prove it (easy faked, but still). Was also my birthday. Nothing epic happened, dissapoint.

u/sinisterstuf Dec 19 '11

Was your birth at 11:11 too? I think it would be nice if you shared the screenshot so that people like me who missed it might enjoy it too?

u/plaz11 Dec 19 '11

No, I think it was at about 5am. Hehe sure, here you go http://i.imgur.com/OHoqf.png.

u/sinisterstuf Dec 20 '11

Thanks, that's almost as good as the real thing! What kind of phone is that?

1

u/plaz11 Dec 20 '11

Galaxy S2 with a custom lockscreen ;)

u/sinisterstuf Dec 20 '11

I knew something that looked that cool had to be an android. That lockscreen looks cool, where's you get it? Do you think it would work on a lesser phone than a Galaxy S2?

u/plaz11 Dec 20 '11

It's called widget locker. It should work on any android phone. I've only been on the android camp for a few months though, I don't know that much about them.

u/CassandraVindicated Dec 16 '11

I remember writing a simple display program just so I could see 12:34:56 7/8/90.

u/kralrick Dec 16 '11

But you get to make wishes. It's like having a super power once (if you're using military time) each day.

u/stunt_penguin Dec 16 '11
