We would never have noticed what? I mean, 1234567890 only looks special because of a few cultural biases we share (like using the decimal system). Consider that if we were used to, say, a ternary system this quantity would be unrecognizable while other ones would be.
And I don't see what incidence noticing this has on anything, besides a few posts about it on the internet and a feeling in a lot of people that this is "special". My first reaction was thinking that this is cool, but after careful consideration I realize how pointless this is. Let's get excited over actual events. News.
Oh, was I overanalysing again?
- nebula 18y agoI remember similar silly things like 9/9/99, etc., Nothing wrong in observing things like that; there is such a thing as little amusement.
