      🤣 People still believe in talking to imaginary friends with superpowers. Magic numbers are tame by comparison.

      I went to the US in 2013 and there were still a lot of hotels (and I think some other places but I’m not sure) that skipped the 13th floor and room number 13

      In china, absolutely. Phone numbers, license plates, condo building floors etc. 8 is good and those fetch high price and 4 is avoided. Hell the US is still sometimes avoiding floor 13 in hotels.

      There used to be a US highway 666. It was renumbered to 491 back in 2003 due to 666 being associated with the mark of the beast.

      When I worked at a restaurant and someone’s order came to $6.66, they would sometimes add or remove items to prevent that order total. Always made me chuckle.
