No way! It was actually the same with me on 12/12/12 12:12:12. I spent the better part of that day trying to explain to my high school class chat why it is a big deal (it is the last one like that until 2100, with two digits being the same). Nobody was in any way as thrilled about it as i was. I sat on the couch in the living room–alone, when the 12th second struck. Won't be forgetting that anytime soon... what a time to be alive.
Most likely sleeping. I worked a night shift at the time. I definitely remember where I was at midnight the night before, though: picking up Skyrim for PS3 at Gamestop to take home for my wife to play (I went in to work late to get it).
Interestingly enough, I'm 80% sure, because it was a weekday, and I sat in the exact same spot for all of high school. The 20% are for the possibility I was sick, in the bathroom, or had a special class I had to leave our classroom for.
I have been telling my wife "make a wish" for 18 years now every time I see 11:11 on the clock. Today we are celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary. We got married on 11/11/11 @11:11am.
Not sure what she's been wishing for but it hasn't been lots of money lol
In certain German and Dutch cities, this is a fantastic time to be outside. Or a terrible time, if you don't like massive crowds of drunk people in costumes.

Remembering those who died in service maybe...
"The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" is when WW1 ended and is held as Remembrance Day across Europe .

And Canada. I don't remember it specifically but I am certain I was sitting in my school gym for a Remembrance Day assembly.

What they don't teach in school, is that our country is known for being brutal. We rarely took POWs, and even killing them after they surrender.
If you don't like reading, here is a video explaining how brutal we were in both great wars.

my son was born 2/24/22, 2 days too late for 2/22/22, so i tell people when they ask for his birthday: same day Russia invaded Ukraine

Did you account for timezones? First fights started at 3:40 a.m. Kyiv time, which is UTC+2.

Probably heading to the city centre to pick up a copy of Skyrim for Xbox 360.
I got home, did my NaNoWriMo writing sprint, and then fired up Skyrim and played like 12 hours straight.
DmMacniel@feddit.org · 7 pts · 284d
Sitting at home, playing Skyrim.

Blood on the Ice was possibly the most bug-filled quest I've ever encountered!
WALLACE@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 284d
I replayed that game so many times and I think that quest only played through properly once
Naz@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 283d

Skyrim was released on the 11.11.2011. I still haven't played through. It's about time.

Photoshop that year to say "1111" and it'll be just like the computers of yesteryear available at the medieval dark ages mall.
