every once in a while I get reminded that I can do random maths in my head really easily and it almost throws me before I remember I used to want to try astrophysics until I learned how competitive it is

anyways I just saw the number 96 (as in, 96 comments on a fic) and immediately went "oh, thats... 8 times 12, right?"

#(it is 12 times 8 btw)#((which was relevant bc fic had 12 chapters which means an average of 8 comments per chapter))#its also a thing I have in common with most of my family members #we all have Opinions on the number 17 because its primary and I have Issues w primary numbers and my sister likes them #like. a few days back our other sister mentioned a number and idr what it was but like #primary numbers sister went “oh I think thats a primary number” (and it was like. 4 digit number too)#and then we all went quiet for a second and then “no no it uh. divides by 3” just. six people around the table on concensus #I think it was like. 2457 or something #I remember it ending in 7 because that both pings the primary number detector and can make numbers divide by 3 nicely #point being. the automatic maths in my brain #.... which. I mean. I count cards to play solitaire peaks in my brain like Im counting sheep sometimes #and. other times I do powers of 4 until I reach 6 digits and then I switch to powers of 13 #doing insane maths as grounding techniques is my favorite fanfic trope for a reason and that reason is because I do the same tbh #man I should still look into like. doing more math stuff. I would probably like being a precalc TA if not for children being menaces #hgnn. thing to think about ig
