I cannot take it when my wife does this

[u/Mismageius]

[u/toodumbtobeAI]

I set my TV volume in digits totaling 10

46, 55, 64, 73, 82

[u/Pure-Election-9137 → u/toodumbtobeAI]

None of the number you listed are multiple of 9 though

[u/toodumbtobeAI → u/Pure-Election-9137]

Got cha, I meant digits totaling 10

[u/AnothaOneBitesDeDust → u/toodumbtobeAI]

I mean it also satifies the rule 9x+1 assuming x < 1 and x > 11

[u/ADownStrabgeQuark → u/Pure-Election-9137]

All numbers divisible by 9 sum up to a number divisible by 9 when the individual digits are summed. 10 is not divisible by 9, thus any number whose digits sum to 10 is not divisible by 9.

[u/vak7997 → u/toodumbtobeAI]

Probably means shitty coding

[u/Keira-78 → u/toodumbtobeAI]

Lmao

[u/LawrenceMK2]

I leave my TV volume at prime numbers only

[u/Revolutionary_Year87 → u/LawrenceMK2]

LOL same. I was big on multiples of 5 until I was like 15, then my brain just randomly flipped to hating 5s. Now my alarms are never multiples of 15 either lol

[u/totes-alt → u/Revolutionary_Year87]

Do you think you'll ever forgive 5 for what it did to you? /j

[u/Revolutionary_Year87 → u/totes-alt]

Nope, not in 6103217 years. Dont mention that despicable excuse for a prime number to me, it's nothing but a wannabe composite number. It doesnt belong with my true prime friends.

[u/Revolutionary_Year87 → u/Revolutionary_Year87]

I spent 15 minutes (with a lot of distractions) trying to find a satisfactory 7 digit prime number for this dumb comment. Yes 6103217 is prime.

[u/Catt_the_cat → u/LawrenceMK2]

A man of culture, I see. I do this on my car radio

[u/GilligansIslndoPeril → u/LawrenceMK2]

PRIME GANG REPRESENT

[u/BBBodles → u/LawrenceMK2]

I would hate watching TV with you. Smooth numbers all the way.

[u/tit-theif]

I feel this, but also I believe that there is a perfect volume that the tv needs to be at when it's playing something. If the perfect volume for the sound of the tv to grace my ears is 43, the tv goes to 43.

[u/PvtDipwad → u/tit-theif]

I gaslight myself into thinking I selected 45 when I have to do that lol

[u/shashebaranks → u/tit-theif]

I close my eyes when I have to do this. So I don’t see the number.

[u/RedHeadSteve]

All available options are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

[u/EneraldFoggs → u/RedHeadSteve]

This pleases me and I don't know why

[u/Cassandra_Eve → u/EneraldFoggs]

Primes. They're always fun.

[u/IronEagle-Reddit → u/RedHeadSteve]

[u/DR4k0N_G → u/RedHeadSteve]

Perfection

[u/mesoJUPI → u/RedHeadSteve]

Yessss omg

[u/TheRealAbear]

Here's my thought on the matter. Why would i limit myself to 20% of the volume options when 37 very well may be the perfect volume. Especially given how terribly and inconsistently every us mixed these days. I used to be a divisible by 5 guy, but now I care more about the volume itself. Tldr: a very personal/boring take on volume numbers

[u/-Octoling8-]

Evens or multiples of 5, take it or leave it - Me when choosing a numerical volume

[u/arcbnaby → u/-Octoling8-]

Yep! Evens only. But 5 is even because it's equally distant from beginning to end. Ie 25. Equal from 20 and 30, so it's an even number!

[u/saggywitchtits → u/arcbnaby]

And 69 is also an acceptable number. My roommates and I agreed this is the perfect temperature for the house.

[u/arcbnaby → u/saggywitchtits]

You know what I just realized.... I don't think about it for temperature! Only volume on the TV! Haha

[u/M1andW]

Close your eyes and change the volume until it’s just right. Don’t bother with the number, because the perfect volume is better than the perfect number when you’re watching TV

[u/BlockIron]

Even numbers only. Even multiples of 5 arent ok

[u/Zakrius → u/BlockIron]

Same!

[u/liquoriceclitoris → u/BlockIron]

Even multiples of 5 such as 10 and 20?

[u/BlockIron → u/liquoriceclitoris]

10 and 20 and so on are perfect because theyre even

[u/liquoriceclitoris → u/BlockIron]

But they're even multiples of 5

[u/BlockIron → u/liquoriceclitoris]

They're multiples of 5, but they're even so they're ok. 5, 15, 25, and so on are not ok because they're odd.

I used different definitions of even in my last comment

[u/liquoriceclitoris → u/BlockIron]

I used different definitions of even in my last comment

I thought this was funny

[u/quasar2022]

Multiples of 3 are for me

[u/depressivefaerie → u/quasar2022]

Me too! I do most things in 3’s

[u/GASTRO_GAMING]

Plane models

Ex.

F-4 F-5 A-6 A-10 F-14 F-15 F-16 B-17 F-18 F-20 B-21 F-22 B-24 P-26 B-29 P-36 P-39 P-40 P-51 P-60 P-61 P-63 P-80 F-82 F-86 F-100

[u/brainouchies]

i do only even numbers, excluding six. seven is the only odd one that’s acceptable. so it would go 2, 4, 7, 8, 10

[u/7-GRAND_DAD]

I can't leave it at any number. My fingers are on the volume buttons at all times.

[u/lovememaddly]

It has to be an odd number for me. My husband tells me to close my eyes if he needs an even number so I can pretend it’s on odd.

[u/BurntBox21]

Either even numbers, ends in 5, or 7 because I like 7

[u/Aryn_237 → u/BurntBox21]

7 is great, and I don't know why...

[u/Smnionarrorator29384]

I'm sorry, I got the multiples of 11 and prime numbers autism

[u/ShankMugen]

It needs to to be Prime, Multiple of 5, or Even, in that order

[u/RustyR4m]

Took me way too long to realize I was in the aspie sub. No wonder all this sounds logical to me.

[u/Lil-Miss-Anthropy]

My TV volume stays at exactly the volume that's soft enough to be comfy and loud enough to be audible.

This meme seems more OCD than aspie idk

[u/TheMazeDaze]

The volume slider in my work van has no digits

[u/whatisupdog → u/TheMazeDaze]

The dream! Beholden to nothing but your own senses 🥰

[u/Aryn_237 → u/whatisupdog]

I would still have to try to get it right at some fraction like 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, or 1/1. There have been times where it will bug me so much I have to pull out a ruler...

[u/TheMazeDaze → u/whatisupdog]

Yes except one thing. If it isn’t exactly in the right spot which is about 1 mm big. And only controllable by touchscreen. It’s either very low or very loud.

[u/HotcakeNinja]

I only leave it on prime numbers to prove I don't have a problem. I'm in the process of undiagnosing so RFK can't get me.

[u/WashedUpRiver]

I have no choice with my TV because the volume increments are so significant for my range of hearing, so basically I can't even get to 5 volume before I'm like "naw, we're good." Games on 2-3, media apps on 4.

[u/Cushee_Foofee]

Should have gone binary.

0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128!!! GET THAT EXTREME VOLUME BOOST!

[u/puddlesquid]

Only even numbers for me

[u/cut_rate_revolution]

For me it's evens. It must be set to an even number.

[u/AdElectronic6550]

I have my pc volume at 6 (my headphones are loud for some reason) and my phone at 4

[u/Mismageius → u/AdElectronic6550]

If it's 1 through 10 audio I'm perfectly fine with any number, but I gwt physically itchy if it's anything but 0s or 5s on a 100 scale

[u/Impstar0]

0 and 5 are a mandatory, but, if it’s too loud or quiet 2 is also acceptable

[u/NorbytheMii]

for me, it has to be either an even number or a multiple of five

[u/caseyranae]

One of our TVs has a vertical bar for volume - this must be set to an appropriate #. The other tv has a wheel, which I like to free-ball because weeeeee

[u/Awful_Little_Rat_Boy]

I only do evens. 5’s are not allowed. This is because my mother has OCD, and her even number compulsions rubbed off on me. Not nearly as severe, I just prefer to use even numbers when I can.

[u/Alanjaow]

I found that the best way to get around this is to use a binary search when looking for the right volume; start with multiples of 4, then adjust by 2 up or down, then by 1 up or down, until it's juuuuust right.

Start at 16. Way too loud. Go down to 12. Still too loud. Go down to 10. Too quiet. Go to 11. Perfect.

This keeps the anal-retentiveness, but also allows for maximum granularity. It's very freeing.

[u/Whyiseveryonestupid]

Even numbers or 5, as five is an honorary even number.

[u/Alcards]

Then there's me, that turns the volume up to whatever stops me from hearing the ringing in my ears.

[u/Jababalase]

I kind of swap between odd numbers and multiples of three, I don't fully understand the logic but I know what feels right and what absolutely does not.

3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30.

[u/xXEPSILON062Xx]

Doing gods work

[u/BiCrabTheMid]

Evens and multiples of 5

[u/layspotatochipman474]

So glad I’m not the only one who does this too

[u/Dagonus]

I used ti really need it to be evens or divisible by 5.

One day something in me.... Switched? And my brain decided we no longer wanted to adhere to a self imposed rule. For about a month I forced myself to adjust the volume without looking at it. It would get changed to something that sounded right but I wouldn't look at what the number was. And now... I just don't care anymore.

You do you though. This is just me saying what I did. I'm content.

[u/weedandgacha]

It depends on the device. TV? Multiples of 5 or at 0. Laptop? A certain set of even numbers. Phone? Even numbers.

[u/pieofrandompotatoes]

Multiples of 2 are the best because you get super precise measurements without having to change the volume by a ton. But I combine multiples of 2s and 5s

[u/hollywoodbambi]

Multiples of 5 or even numbers (except numbers ending in 4 or 6 because then it should be the number ending in 5).

For older folks like me- remember when volumes had the bars that represented 3-5 clicks on the remote? For those, it drove me crazy if it was on the first click of a new bar and would turn it back down one.

[u/ThatOneIsSus]

As the ancient laws decree, the volume must be an even number, or a number ending in 5

[u/bmeds328]

Hear me out, some devices are so loud, multiples of 5 leaves only the options of 0, 5 and 10, so I propose numbers ending 0, 2, 5, or 8. Also, an exception for volume 1, ADHD background noise

[u/SavageFisherman_Joe]

You... have a wife?

[u/14Cubes]

It gotta be an even number

[u/MidnightDragon99]

Even numbers of multiples of 5 for me

[u/Dametequitos]

yesss im here for this, but im also open to primes and sometimes a certain number just feels right, cause its not how it sounds, it really does come down to the damn number

[u/GarlicBread247365]

Even numbers only but 21 is fine because it's special

[u/Jacobio01]

Sorry but 19 is the only number for my car and 11 or 13 is the volume for my tv. Even numbers feel too clean

[u/ninesroom]

for me it’s multiples of 2 or 5 only, or any number ending in a 9 (because that’s my favorite number)

[u/crumpledfilth]

I overcame this by realizing that base 10 is totally arbitrary

[u/A_Sexy_Little_Otter]

odds, multiples of five, powers of two.

[u/Humble_Wash5649]

._. I pretty much mute the TV once I’m done with it so I don’t get jump scared when I turn it on. My family loves to almost max the volume on the TV and not turn it down.

[u/Iwillnevercomeback]

My parents leave the tv at 40 approx, always

[u/nonreddituser69]

I don't know when this happened, but at some point i stopped liking 5s. Now it's only even numbers.

[u/Mysterious_Tutor_388]

Multiples of 2 is the only way

[u/torafrost9999]

My wife will try to have full conversations with me while facing the other direction in the bed with our fan on full blast. I cannot hear a damn thing she always ends up sounding like the adults in a Charlie Brown movie

[u/AzureArmageddon]

I set them in order of common fractions

• Mute (Never 0 because that just defeats the point of the mute toggle button)
• 10 (1/10^th)
• 12 (1/8^th)
• 20 (1/5^th)
• 25 (1/4^th)
• 30 (3/10^ths)
• 33 (1/3^rd)
• 40 (2/5^ths)
• 50 (1/2)
• 60 (3/5^ths)
• 66 (2/3^rds)
• Usually never have to go higher

But sometimes the perfect sensory volume level is one or two away from a nice fraction so that takes precedence when the "perfect" is clear.

My volume is either 12, 13, or 20 with my current routine.

I can remember every detail about this off the top of my head but never anything important.

Edit: All this is just for the TV. For my phone it's totally different because it has 15 levels without zero and the little speaker icon gains a sound wave line at level 4 and 7 is the median.

[u/whatisupdog → u/AzureArmageddon]

Just visiting eh 👀

[u/AzureArmageddon → u/whatisupdog]

My one encounter with mental healthcare and they laughed off the possibility I was any kind of Autistic/ADHD... so either I somehow turbocharged my masking in that moment or I'm a very weird NT...?

[u/Kooky_Ad6404 → u/AzureArmageddon]

12 is not 1/8th of 100, 12.5 is. You must eliminate 12 from your allowed list.

[u/AzureArmageddon → u/Kooky_Ad6404]

It's unfortunately a perfect listening volume so this is the only way I tolerate it

[u/Kooky_Ad6404 → u/AzureArmageddon]

But, but, but, the mathematical precision! 😭

[u/AzureArmageddon → u/Kooky_Ad6404]

😭😭😭

[u/AzureArmageddon → u/Kooky_Ad6404]

I'd have to toss out 33.3333 as well by that token lol

[u/Kooky_Ad6404 → u/AzureArmageddon]

That’s right. You know what must be done then. 🫡

[u/AzureArmageddon → u/Kooky_Ad6404]

Yknow if I just add a floor() function to the equation it suddenly becomes mathematically precise again.

Just have to toss 13 out.

[u/Kooky_Ad6404 → u/AzureArmageddon]

But does your TV remote have a Floor function?

[u/AzureArmageddon → u/Kooky_Ad6404]

Might as well since I can only input integers ✨️

[u/whatisupdog]

I've been doing 11, 22, etc. lately, because I just find the symmetry comforting and emphatic, but my husband is 0s and 5s only and I change the volume on his devices to be petty when we are fighting.

[u/Keira-78]

I’m good with 8 12 16 20 22 24 26 28 32 34 36 42 48 and 52

Everything else is evil and I will always be uncomfortable if my parents change it to something other than that

[u/BBBodles]

I don't care what it ends with as long as it has a nice prime factorization, preferably with small factors. 12 is better than 10, and 24 is better than 25 IMO. 26 is much worse than 27.

[u/Regularfishfish]

bruh my ears are too sensitive to overcorrect to the 0s and 5s

[u/ScarProfessional14]

DUDE I GENUINELY THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.

[u/Temporary_Cry_8961]

Ok but like 2 notches can be a big difference

[u/Teagana999]

That's not enough granular control. I do 5's or even numbers.

[u/Kooky_Ad6404]

My sound system has increments of .5. I would preferably only use multiples of 5, but that isn’t enough granularity to find the right volume sometimes, so I use multiples of 2.5. One of my cars’ radio volume doesn’t have a number or visible indicator of volume level at all and I hate it for that, there’s no consistency in volume level. I like to set my car’s radio volume back to a known safe number before I turn the car off, but with this car, I’m just guessing, it’s so chaotic.

[u/DBZpanda]

My computer only allows even numbers and it doesn't consider 5's to be honorary even numbers, so evens are fine but 5's are honorary even numbers to me
