I use 24h clocks and every time it's 13:37, I think "leet". I hate it. It's been decades and it still won't leave my brain.


I'm with you here, I say "its leet time" in my head. Pretty sure no one says leet anymore


My discord handle used to be keeb#1337 as an homage to this era..it was a big part of my life.

Now it's just keeb


I never figured out how people got custom numbers. Was it a Nitro feature?


Yes.


More options to irritate the mind:

3:14 Pie time

4:20 Blaze it

11:11 Pocky time


3:13 on digital clocks without leading zero is the king of time.


My grandfather would say "car wreck" when it was 10:10. (Tin-tin)


7:10 (oil) as well although less common but actually leet unlike 420


I have the same affliction and I’ve had it for over 20 years now. It’s never gonna go away.


switch to 12 hr time :)


Might as well switch to measuring in imperial units. Savage.


Swatch internet time.


Those were the days. For reference:

Never.
