I'm in my 30s and still do that. No reason to spend extra effort to give out info they don't need.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

I check to see if I can put February 30th (less common of an error these days) on the oldest year they'll let me. 29th if 30th isn't an option and try to select a really old non leap year

I'll take 08.19.1995, the cross sum is 42.

[–] Jagermo@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

I always go back further. 1642 or 1865 for example

In a little over 5 months, I won't have to lie anymore...
Obviously, I am not old. But it feels odd. I vividly remember thinking that "9th graders are really old". I remember waiting to turn 13 to play PUBG (it was in the license agreement, and I actually took the time to read it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Hell, I even thought the 6 year old kindergartners were old when I was 3.
I'll probably think back to writing this comment in 10 years.
The time feels weird with all the memories piling up.
I am overthinking again. Sorry.

When I was 18 I remember selecting "yes I'm over 18" for the first real time. I was just hit with the reality of "Oh. I'm not doing anything naughty anymore. I'm not in the wrong at all. I am now just a dude watching porn." hits harder than you think.

I was born at second zero!

Oh, shit, that means you're the second coming of Christ.

Way to wild, all this lysergic acid diethylamide 25 on sugar....

That’s the start of the Unix epoch.

Nerd version of 1900-01-01.

Sooo... you're telling me you're older than Earth, huh?

[–] Eavolution@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Almost everything I just put 01.01.2000 because quite frankly websites have no business knowing my actual birthday.

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been doing that longer than 2000 has been old enough, so it's been Jan 1, 1990 for me.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

I've been doing that longer than 1990 has been old enough, so it's been 1.1.1980 for me.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago

[–] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago
