Comment on Unsolicited, but not wrong

The only ones who really care about time of birth are astrologists, because within astrology apparently the time you were born makes a difference.
Mom is assuming that the only thing that would make OP care about when he was born is a girl who was into astrology, so she’s just skipping to the end of the conversation.
Thank you, was to autistic to get the reference lol
Everyone in my family knows when we were born. We’ve had some pretty interesting stories about how it all happened.
I could just as easily see that question from someone who got curious from hearing someone else’s story.
Took me a minute, but I’m guessing the mom is warning their child that any potential date or relationship with someone who believes woowoo about the significance of time of birth won’t be good for them.
Whenever I see a naked “?” my mind plays this sound effect from Paper Mario 64:

Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
Ya know… that does sound like a ?
Idk why, but it makes sense. So, thank you for your TED talk
My mind does the same thing! I always hear what I read in my head and a ? or ‽ sounds like that.
So I cannot tell of the other responses are real or shit responses so…
The way I read it is the mom’s response is because she believes he is asking because depending on what time he turns 18, the girl he is with may be illegal to have sex with after that time. She says stay away from her because that would be a very bad situation.
The star chart thing is real. Lol
I’m not sure there’s a jurisdiction anywhere that doesn’t have some sort of Romeo and Juliet allowance. Being that the age of consent is 16 in most of America, and mostly lower in Europe, I’m scared to ask how young the girl would have to be to make him turning 18 a crime. Yikes.
I can easily see this interpretation if I never knew someone that was so into astrology that they asked for my time of birth.
I think that’s not an unreasonable take
This is what I thought at first too
Mom is a time traveler, and son started dating the her from another timeline.
“Marty? What a nice name”
It’s his birthday and he met a girl who’s just a little too young for him, according to the half plus seven rule. But maybe his time of birth hasn’t come yet, so he could be a year young-
No. She’s too young for him.
Given that we are incessantly hearing about pedophilia on social media, at least here in the Fedi, something like this is kind of where I went first, too
Being that the age of consent is mostly 16 in America and lower in the EU, she’d have to be 14 or 15 for Romeo and Juliet laws to not apply.
I read it as you the man in the mom's life being overly jealous and sending this response when he saw that she received a message.
Sounds crazy, and it is, but it's not super uncommon.
You need the time, date and (I think) location to do a full astrology profile. The picture is a guy asking for the time, and the mom saying stay away from her because she knows why the guy is asking and views it as a bad sign

The implication is OP is asking for what time they were born so a prospective date/gf can make them a “star chart,” or astrology write-up.

Ahhh, here I was thinking the partner of mom saw this message come in, grabbed her phone and sent this. Implicating that the sender had been somehow harrassing her before, or something.
Which didn't make a whole lot of sense, but there you are.

We tend to filter things through our personal experiences. I kind of envy the people who were purely confused or whose first thought was astrology girlfriend.

Thinking back to the ‘you either make fun of astrology or get laid’-meme… Maybe I should ask my mom about my time of birth.
