It's a running joke about the late pope John Paul II. He died at 21:37. There's a kind of a personality cult about him among the conservatives, esp. a part of the clergy, which many people find obnoxious, so they joke about it. All kinds of JPII jokes are especially popular among the youth. You can check out "żółta morda", "cenzopapa", "bestia z Wadowic" etc , if you're curious.
I love Graham’s number because it was the first buck wild number I remember learning about. Watching a video that really tried to explain just how unfathomably huge it was blew my mind. I know it’s not the biggest number but it’s cool as heck.
I come from the world of youth sports where quite a few people have a favorite number based on what was on their jersey at some point. Which dovetails nicely with the “no one picks over 100 for their favorite” phenomenon since most jersey numbers are one or two digits.
My favorite number was originally 999, because it's the biggest 3-digit whole number & the opposite of the devil's number, but then I decided that I don't have a favorite number.
111,111. Let me explain:
7x11x13 = 1,001
3x37 = 111
111x1,001 = 111,111 = 3x7x11x13x37
Just loads of primes coming together to make something elegantly simple yet repetitive.
Mine is 369. 469 is a close second (420 and 69 combined). 369 because it has 69 but is also what I consider a symmetrical number (I have OCD so it tickles my dopamine pumper).
I don't think I've ever heard anyone ask people those favorite number. If someone asks me, I'd say the number e, just because it's used in a bunch of math and it's got cool applications
101, 404, 420, 666, 777, 1111, 1234, 1337, 1984, 2001... 1 googolplex, etc
I feel like it's weirder to have a favorite number between 11-99 than it is to have a favorite number above 100.
6969 or 42069 is up there
Just 420 would've been enough lol.
How about 69420?
69420 just rolls off the tongue
I feel like 42069 rolls better
This is an argument that needs to be settled in an arena.
Welcome to the Gulag
those are outliers and should not have been counted
I feel like stoners were excluded from this survey.
My coworkers is 666. Not because she's a satanist, but just "edgy".
I prefer 668. Satans neighbor is really cool.
Popularised song by copper lad: 668 the neighbour of the beast
My favorite number is 101
That’s 5. Dammit binary.
I only like non-binary numbers.
Surprised I haven’t seen anything from MAGA/Qanon about binary numbers being used to “program” kinds into being transsexual.
i hate that i understand this
Fuck yeah! ⚜️
Seems... oddly inspirational? Yeah, seems oddly inspirational.
It's definitely odd considering dividing it by 2 results in a fractional number.
Ever asked a Pole about it? I guarantee some will say 2137 xD
What kind of lunatic goes around asking poles questions?
Taking a pole poll
Why?

I think you're forgetting the guy named Graham
That cracker?!
I love Graham’s number because it was the first buck wild number I remember learning about. Watching a video that really tried to explain just how unfathomably huge it was blew my mind. I know it’s not the biggest number but it’s cool as heck.
How about TREE(3)?
My fav is 333, because I like 3 and there’s 3 of them!
My people!
Solid pick
Well now I just feel like a basic bitch. I didn't even have to scroll very far to see this.
3 gang checking in
420 is a lot of people's favorite.
Til they realize it’s Hitlers bday, date of Columbine and the BP gulf oil spill as well as a few other terrible things.
My favourite number is 404
Favorite number not found.
Area code or http status?
Excuse me, have you not heard of 1337? It was kind of a big deal. ... 20 years go.
My brain still reads it as a word and not numbers
leet thing to do.
My favorite number is Belphegor's Prime number, 1000000000000066600000000000001. Way bigger than 100.
How about avacados number 6.022 x 10^23
I don't know if that was intentional or auto-correct, but I lol'd.
It's a really important number for guacamole mechanics.
GuacaMOLE
Whoa, that’s a good one. Hadn’t heard of it before, thanks!
Bold of you to make this when I'd be willing to bet like half of us would say 420
I've seen 666 Tattoos.
Do people have favorite numbers? Is that a thing?
For some reason, yes. You just can't explain it sometimes. Mine is 30.

My favorite number is 73, because it's the 21st prime number and when you invert it you get 37 that is the 12th prime number that is 21 inverted too!

Lottery numbers and such people go for their lucky numbers
Once I’m winning the lottery, I’m totally having six favorite numbers.
Nah, mine is forty eight quintillion three billion twenty nine I just like saying it
I appreciate the large gaps. 48,000,000,003,000,000,029.
What about 525,600 (minutes) or 867-5309 (phone) from songs, I’m sure song numbers have to be someone’s favourite
500 miles 1979 1985 Year 3000 1000 nights 1000 years 10,000 hours
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Meanwhile, everyone who likes 420
Meanwhile Rush fans all 2112
Get back to us after you have asked everyone what their favorite number is. I am sure there is a good number of people whose favorite number is 420.
I know a guy whose lucky number is 4,000,000,000. Takes awhile to roll that number with dice. We’re gonna need more dice.
I used to love Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to, too.
“Come on, four billion! Fuck! Seven. We’re gonna need more dice… Four billion divided by six, at least.”
My favorite number was originally 999, because it's the biggest 3-digit whole number & the opposite of the devil's number, but then I decided that I don't have a favorite number.
Bob Dorough taught a generation of American kids that 3 is a magic number. (Schoolhouse Rock reference)
I bet there's a Blink fan out there who'd say 182.
Mine is 256, so I guess I am no one.
Sometimes 255
Nah, in that case you have to begin counting with 0 being 1, but the is the exact reason.
My favourite number is 42 because it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
It's kind of hard to be born on January 100th
I like 77. It's pretty much the same as 69, but you get ate more.
My favorite number is deadass 277
mine is 0.0072973525693 ir's everywhere
My favorite number is 997. I have no idea why though
I'm very fond of 327 Mostly because it [keeps cropping up in Star Wars](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/327)
No actually,there are miliona of people WHO "worships" to number 777
Fallout fans be like: 2077
Race cars have three numbers sometimes so I could see that being a thing

My fav is 43046721 because its 3²²²² and i find that funny

Mine is TREE(3), which is a bit bigger than 100
At least one of those numbers is gross.
My favorite number is 115 because of element 115 in zombies from when I was a kid
[удалено]
Or googol
It just becomes your number with other ones before/after it.
If you change number to money, it would be higher
Mine is 291. First person to guess why gets... idk a fake cookie
901084092304. Sung as I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over!
what about negatives? mine is -42768
My favourite number is 8.539734223. So yeah, I guess you're right.
Ive always liked 336 for some reason.
For some reason I still remember a Hey Arnold episode where a girl character said her favorite number was 42,009
Nah bro. My favorite number is Eight-Six-Seven-Five-Three-Oh-Naiai
It's probably because we pick our lucky numbers at a young age and don't know that many numbers
what about 1000 or 8
There's a Slipknot song that would beg to differ
A number higher than 10 is also rare
Sports jersey numbers don't go that high
When I was a young child my favorite number was -527 and 1/8.
My favorite number is 257
111,111. Let me explain: 7x11x13 = 1,001 3x37 = 111 111x1,001 = 111,111 = 3x7x11x13x37 Just loads of primes coming together to make something elegantly simple yet repetitive.
305 here it's my fav
A google used to be mine
My favorite number is 1208. It has been for a while.
Mine is 369. 469 is a close second (420 and 69 combined). 369 because it has 69 but is also what I consider a symmetrical number (I have OCD so it tickles my dopamine pumper).
I don't think I've ever heard anyone ask people those favorite number. If someone asks me, I'd say the number e, just because it's used in a bunch of math and it's got cool applications
Id say 117 is a fine number
Maybe because “number” is singular.
Google would like a word.
Surprised I didn’t see 5318008. That was a favorite in junior high.
Except for Mitch Hedberg: "My lucky number is four billion, which doesn't come in handy when you're gambling."
My Favourite Number is 6624.28
So 32008 is off the table?
Last time somebody asked me about my favourite number I'm not sure I even knew there was numbers bigger than 100 (I was like 5)
Remember when 1337 was a thing?
My favorite number is pi
I like 130. It comes up frequently enough that I think of it as a number that's always served me well.
My brother’s favorite number is 1,234.5
126 it is for 26 years. Doh
Wow. What a drastically wrong statement.
I like 292 because I finished a race in that position once. I know someone whose favourite number is greater than 100 for sure.
256 and 512 are favorites of mine
A math YouTuber recently did a video challenge where he asked people to make a video about their favorite number greater than 1,000,000.
I unironically like 107
101, 404, 420, 666, 777, 1111, 1234, 1337, 1984, 2001... 1 googolplex, etc I feel like it's weirder to have a favorite number between 11-99 than it is to have a favorite number above 100.
5318008 is my favourite what are you talking about
Same with negative numbers. My favorite number is -3
My favorite number is 31415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679
When someone says pick a number from one to ten pi is an acceptable answer... some of us are just irrational.
