Even worse is when you were born on the 14th of the month in 1988.

Every time I put my dob I worry someone is gonna get triggered and start flapping around

first time i heard about that number being a thing, was back when i was playing Rome:Total War and had a username similar to this, with the number, and some guy just wrote in the chat "I'm not playing with a nazi" and then he quit.

i was so confused until i looked it up

If you've watched one of those "real prison" shows at any point in your life, you know this...it's common new nazi thing in prison.

This is the first I am hearing of 88 being attached to Nazi. So it's more than likely to your benefit that someone seeing "88" in your username and just assumed you were a Nazi left. We need less people like that than we need more.

It's not a Hitler thing unless you make it a Hitler thing.

The number 88 is just the number 88. Give me a break.

88 is good luck in asia. the number 8 is like our 7. and the more 8's the better. people born in 1988 are considered lucky in china. also in 2008, a bunch of pregnant chinese women tried to hold out their births till august 8th, 2008. 8/8/08. I remember seeing it back then on the news

googled it.
1488 is a combination of two popular white supremacist numeric symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The second is 88


okay, now they're just making shit up at random, as a joke, like that frog thing, right?

Poor Eric Lindros
This was my thought, also pretty sure Nylander changed his number to 88 this season.

A lot of NFL WR wear 88 also.

I didnt really know why 14 was a racist symbol for some but it and especially 88 predate the frog. 88 predates the internet.

88's at the end of a username aren't really that suspicious

1488 is practically indisputable though.

Agreed

But you can put it together with some users;their politics make it obvious.

What's shitty is that this is a real thing that has existed for decades, but people are going to dismiss it "like the circle game sign" because they can't separate real phenomena from fake ones.
