How and why did the number 13 become such an unlucky number?
In: Other
We’re not actually sure why 13 is a famous unlucky number in the west. It appears to have got to be a popular thing sometime in the early 1900s but they history of it before then isn’t really known, but it popped into the social world around then and took off.
But 13 isn’t the only unlucky number. Go around to other cultures and you’ll find they’ll have various lucky and unlucky numbers too. In the west, lucky and unlucky numbers are sorta “fun” things, but go to Asia and lucky and unlucky (or auspicious) numbers have much more cultural significance.
