Numerology
They are so unhinged that the doorknob has melted to the floor.
It also seeps into every other batshit conspiracy theory eventually. It's huge in QAnon. If you see a number, pack your bags, it's jover.
1+1 = 2
Do you know what else there were two of? The twin towers. How many planes hit the twin towers? Exactly two. How many times has my wife left me? Only once, but one day I will get the kids back. Fuck you judge McNally

I see shit like this as clear evidence of mental illness. These people are replacing reality with abstractions, and then finding patterns within those abstractions, and then using that to reinform their reality.
The saddest part is there is no math to it, despite the fundamental principles of numerology being dependant on it.
If I was to use numerology to find an answer opposite to what they wanted to hear, then I'm "doing it wrong", even though I'm doing the same dumb shit they are.
