Wait what's the deal with "33"? I saw a reference to that number earlier today too, but I'm not finding anything that seems relevant when I search it
It's the highest degree of freemasonry, and also believed to be the age Jesus was when he died. It's a major theme in a lot of conspiracy theories that the powers that be tend to sneak the number into things they control, either as gang like tagging or because they believe it gives them power.
Man, whatever happened to good old-fashioned 5 and 23? Does the Illuminati mean nothing to people any more?
What's up with 5 and 23? Why not the integral of the limit of the square root of arctan of x as x tends to 0?
i want my conspiracies to involve horses like the good old days
The only numbers I've seen snuck into things are 42 and 47.
Edit: The 47 thing is actually old and goes back to an in-joke among the Star Trek TNG writing staff. Not that other thing.
Nothing that I know of. Any ither use of 33 is unrelated. Could've been orange, or bench. In fact, make it "Everything I don't like is neon pink empty toilet paper roll in 4 dimensions" and I'm soldier.
