It’d be cruel to the people around me, but I do rather like the idea of starting over every 30 years or so, your could try out so many different paths.

When your id says you’re 100 and you look 21 it’s going to cause issues.
You want to get away from ever needing an ID. The wealth you gain from compounding interest should allow you to hire accounting experts who will handle your transactions and hide your wealth among shell companies. I think once or twice you could go with the “this is my child, me Jr” routine, but eventually you need to have some kind of emissary who conducts business on your behalf while you cycle through fraudulent ids and move around every 20-30 years.

It’s a typing speed problem. The left hand hitting the 4 was too slow/the right hand jumped the gun on typing the first 9.
So, definitely aliens.

I love that you replied to the wrong comment -one which this makes no sense as a reply to- and got upvoted anyway.
bitwaba@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Haha, weird.
I’ve had that happen a few times recently (wrong comment replied to) and I have no idea how it happens. For the upvotes… well it’s either there’s too many Lemdiots on this platform, or bots (oh noes!).

I figure that you are wealthy by this point and your lawyer has all your records. They’d be able to establish and maintain your identity in some way.

You can use this to your advantage, by claiming it’s some sort of annoying mixup and it happened before. You can use this to sneak new info into the system when they need your help correcting the obvious mistake that you’re not 100 and get your dates reset.

So awhile ago I worked on a system that moved education records between 2 different systems at a university. It kept choking on one particular record; turns out the date of birth was in 1499, and MSSQL won’t store dates from before the start of the Gregorian calendar unless you specifically configure it to do so.
We sent a request through to have the record corrected - clearly someone has just typoed 1949 - and moved on, but maybe…

Just one question: on which keyboard are 4 and 9 close to each other to get typoed *X-Files music starts*

It’s not about close position in this case, it’s that the idiot was typing quickly and hit the numbers in the wrong order.

in the number industry we call it a transposition error and you can tell if the difference between the two is a multiple of 9.
