88 was my favorite number for a long time until I found out that Nazis were using it. Bummer. I’m weirdly still sad about it.
I can’t even tell you why it was my favorite number. I think as a kid, I always heard people pick 7 and I just wanted to be different so I leaned into 8s. Idk.
Now, I struggles because I like 8s but I don’t want to be a Nazi. F’ing Nazis ruin everything.
Not that unusual IMO, lots of people start their PhD directly after completing their Bachelor’s. If they weren’t born born in the first half of the year then they’ll have completed their BS by 21 and start the PhD either at 21 or 22.
Why does his username have “88” in binary 🧐
Because of fucking course it does. 🤦♂️😮💨

Guess I could just like 8 or 888, haha.
He might be born on 1988, although I could not verify this. He started his PhD on 2009, that’d make him 21 at that time, which is not unusual
He replied to a comment on reddit that it’s his birth year.

21 is quite young for a doctorate degree. Most people only have a bachelor’s degree by 22.

A PhD is a mutli-year committment, usually right about 4 years before you’re ready to argue your dissertation.
Like, a PhD program is basically 1/3 doing your research, 1/3 being a TA, and 1/3 being an RA.
They’re saying he could have started his PhD at 21, not finished it at 21. That age checks out if he was born in 1988.
Bah, I totes misread that, yeah.
The number 8 is lucky to Chinese people. Source: I am Chinese
Is it normal to double it up?
Yes, doubling characters or numbers is common in Chinese to insist on the item.
At weddings, you will see lots of double happiness characters for example.
“Everybody” is literally the character for people that is repeated, so “yan yan”.
