Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury
skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoBut more importantly, who cares?
I lived in my previous city for 9years 9m. I usually tell people I lived there 10 years, I don’t expect they’ll fell very betrayed when they learn the truth.
Different cultures count differently. eg Jesus was not born in zero AD but in one AD. His whole first year of life he was considered to be in his first year.
I think some countries count age this way too (hopefully someone can confirm to satisfy my nerdy curiosity).
Not sure what you’re talking about.
I was just saying that rounding is a normal thing to do and not lying.
Also Jesus was born in like 4 BC.
I was saying that apart from rounding up there is what this convention.
BC means Before Christ. How do you figure that Jesus Christ was born 4 years before he was born? Or are you saying his birthdate was found to be different from what it was initially thought to be?
I got exactly what you were saying and how your brain made that connection, just for the record! It made perfect sense to me. My brain works similarly, haha.

I’m actually in the same boat. I’m three months out from being here a decade, but as with infants, we start rounding at a certain point.
