I find that I appreciate truthiness when it feels like we're asking "does this exist". I think of this question in the case of the hours example above but not for the remainder of division by 2.
If you avoid truthiness for numbers altogether, I wouldn't blame you.
I rely on truthiness checks heavily for checking non-emptiness and non-noneness, but I rarely use them for checking non-zeroness.
It CAN be handy, but I do sometimes find it less readable.

@treyhunner@mastodon.social there's always additional mental load to check what the corresponding type is for truthiness checks
