Reddit message ‘2131953663’ sparks crazy theories behind its meaning

A message with figures showing ‘2131953663’ is appearing on Reddit, the American social news aggregation, content rating, and discussion website.

A Reddit user named @JustxAxKitsune shared their confusion on the discussion platform, asking: “Someone commented it on one of my posts, but the mods removed it. What does it mean?”

Another user agreed with the Reddit question, writing: “Same. A bunch of deleted comments now just say that instead of deleted.”

The original post has now received over 60 comments with many people sharing their confusion and others guessing what the numbers could mean.

Amongst the uncertainty, one user said that the numbers could simply be a glitch in the Reddit website coding:

“My best guess is that in the Reddit code, there is a class like ‘Deleted Post’ with an attribute like ‘Replacement Text’, and someone accidentally changed the replacement text to point at an object in code that isn’t meant to be read to text directly, so it’s returning the hashcode of the object.”

Similarly, a user suggested that ‘2131953663’ is an “automated code for deleted comments.”

Another Reddit user suggested: “So probably they were trying to update that to something else and updated it to the wrong thing.”

In an attempt to fix the supposed mobile glitch issue, one person advised: “You might not see it if you’re on another platform/device.”

Some Reddit users think ‘2131953663’ could be a phone number

While some Reddit users are convinced the message could just be a mobile glitch, many people have guessed that ‘2131953663’ could be a mobile number.

A user shared their experience: “First thing I thought was a phone number. Really strange, interested to know what it means.”

Another person wrote: “Looks like a phone number in the West Hollywood, Beverly Hills area.”

One person advised others not to call the number: “Phone number, 213-195-3663, don’t call it I don’t even know where you’d be calling.”

However, a Reddit user responded that ‘2131953663’ is “not a valid phone number” since “exchanges can’t start with a 1.”

Jokingly, someone else suggested: “Text it and ask if they are still on for golf tomorrow.”
