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 22 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

[–] Jagermo@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

I always go back further. 1642 or 1865 for example

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the one hand, I disapprove of unnecessary math, but on the other, I approve of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.. That's too big a dilemma before my second cup of coffee!

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enjoy your coffee good VikingHippie! May there rest of the day be easier for you.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let's not start that crap of censoring incredibly stupid words on this website. Let's leave that in the past.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They said incredibly stupid words.

Some words should stay censored.

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

you know what, its best to just never mention the word entirely

[–] dansity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You must write p"rn, if you write porn a christian underage instantly becomes gay just by seeing the word.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Is it one more every time you write it? Because if so, I'd like to add porn porn pornity porn with extra porn on the side 🤷

[–] red@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

He used "shit" in another post's title. But porn? Oh Jesus Christ better censor that!

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.

That’s just how life works. Wait until you get to be in your 40s or 50s and your doctor is younger than you, and so is you boss.

A 6 year old kindergartener does sound kinda old tho

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

The last grade is 5-6 year old. So just about to leave.

[–] Mambert@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] etuomaala@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

That’s the start of the Unix epoch.

Nerd version of 1900-01-01.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The effects of Lysergsäurediethylamid were discovered in 1943 though.

Not to mention the monosodium glutamate...

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

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 18 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 2 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.
