that's a ridiculous way to remember it when you can easily tell it's the number you would get if you concatenate the single digit even numbers excluding 0 in ascending order and divide it by 2.

Right? Personally I would just remember 1234 as the first 3 digits of the Fibonacci sequence starting on 1 as intended by Fibonacci and not 0 and also not using the 1,1 cadence common later + the 4th digit of the Fibonacci sequence - the first digit of the Fibonacci sequence.

Easy.

oh yeah plus that way it's based on nature

Some background for the unfamiliar:

"OP" is the abbreviation for "Ordo Prædicatorum", or "Order of Preachers" in English, aka the Dominicans.

Saint Dominic is the founder of their order.

That’s the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I’m not even religious and I knew about 1234.

I once tried to set up my first PIN using the year Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs. The problem was that my PIN was 9870, and i quickly realized that was just 1234 with extra steps and had to come up with something else. Unfortunately i have no clue what i changed it to, as it wasn't able to sit in my mind nearly as well.

Should've gone with 4321, the year the last of the homo sapiens died.

(Yes, there's some debate over whether or not the corpse of the full dive hermit indicates a death after 4321 but the expert intelligences with the largest databases on the subject all agreed it would be best to leave it at 4321 because of its religious significance to the AI multiverse culture thanks in no small part to the sacred text of the prophet, Paul Auster)

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

That’s pretty optimistic.

Password is 4444

If I forget, I'm gonna wanna die. Die --> 死 --> Four --> 4 --> 4444

Yay, death postponed

Or alternatively, set code to 8964 if you really wanna die 🤭

That brother is a total slut for canonization trivia.

Looked at the bottom of a keyboard at the thrift. There was a small, pink sticky taped there.

I used to love the band 311 and saw their name everywhere. It was a sickness. I was 19 at the time, so my brain was still developing.

They had three great albums, in my defense.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it a sickness you were down with? Because that was a different band.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I saw Disturbed play live around the same time. Not a great band, though they wrote some catchy songs.

311 had great albums: Grassroots, Transistor, Soundsystem.

Brother Patrick should reconsider if he chose the right order.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Bruh Pat be memorizing them numbers.

Who named it the rectory? Just seems a little on-the-nose, no?

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Aren't those the same folks who named the rectum?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I declare a thumb war.

Easy for me because it's my favorite time on a digital clock.
