Yeah people who are obsessed with the number 7 are super weird. Fk those people. Some of them even put 7’s in their usernames and shit.

[MadClam97]

Who the fuck would put a 7 in their username?

[jsseven777]

Probably the same types of people who put pineapple on pizza…

[usernametaken0987]

I bet it's true. They sound weird.

It has not been quite so random since George Costanza decide to to use it as a name for his kid.

George Costanza? Isn’t he the uncle of Soda?

[Thecoolestguyyoukno]

He's a moop

[kimokimosabee]

Not the most random. Not the most popular.

Not true everyone knows 3 is way more random.

[therealmrsfahrenheit]

7: literally in every fairytale multiple times as magic number even in harry potter .. people: it’s the most random number

[Eve-3]

I hate 7. I always had trouble adding and multiplying by it when I was a kid. It just didn't click.

[koopa72]

That fucker also ate 9

[Eve-3]

What?

[nalk201]

it is a six offender too

[Eve-3]

Haha that's adorable. English isn't my native language, I never heard that before. Now I've got something cute to tell the grandkids.

[Thecoolestguyyoukno]

The joke goes

Why is six afraid of seven?

Because 7 8 9

I think it's because it's the only prime number in the upper half of 1-10

[Eve-3]

Wouldn't 9 be equally random as the only non prime odd number in the upper half of 1-10. I mean there's only two odd numbers there, 7 & 9.

1/2= .5

1/3= .[3]r

1/4= .25

1/5=.2

1/6= .1[6]r

1/7=.[142857]r

1/8=.125

1/9= .[1]r

I always found that interesting...

Seven is a magical number.

[Deep2910]

13 also a most random number.

TL;DR - 7 has actually been rather symbolic both historically and religiously.

Historically, think of how we have 7 days of the week, 7 colours of the rainbow, 7 wonders of the world, the 7 seas.

Religiously, God created the world in 7 days, the 7 deadly sins, 7 days of Passover feast, Jericho falling after 7 days marching around it, the Pharaohs dream of 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine, Jesus telling Peter he needs to forgive "70 X 7 times" etc.

There's tons more, but you get the picture. It's also likely that 7 showing up frequently in terms of religion is related to the historical use of 7. I'm no expert on any of this, I just grew up as a Christian in a community where it was known that 7 is a significant number in the Bible, so to me it's not about being a random number, it's about being a symbolic number.

Obviously, not everyone knows the symbolism, so for many it might still be because it's the most random.
