Persistent eeriness: I "catch" clocks at exactly 9:41 more often than I "should". I don't look at clocks that often! But every time I do, my dumb brain thinks "you're living in an Apple-designed simulation!!!" engadget.com/2014-04-14-why
I'm sure it's just Baader-Meinhoff—but funny.

Makes me wonder if other people with a particularly salient clock time in their lives notice the same thing.

Reflecting more: the real explanation is simple. I do 40m pomos and keep a timestamped log when starting each block. I start working around 7:45±15m, so each day odds are very biased that a timestamp will land on 9:41 (corresponds to a 7:41 start time).

My girlfriend always swore she‘s looking at her phone more than coincidentally often at nice times like 11:22 etc, so I made her an iOS widget* that shows her a little party when it happens apps.apple.com/at/app/nicetim 12:34 is also covered, but I should add 09:41 too! *preiOS14

I seem to catch 13:37 way more often than I “should” and of course I attribute that to too many hours of my teenage years spent on IRC.
