But count is in the name

  A friend of ours was approaching her 40th birthday. But she only admitted to having a “round” birthday, and even forbade her kids to talk about mommys age, even though we made a big production to learn her age with trick questions and all. And then we told her that if she keeps mum about her age, we’ll just guesstimate it.

  That’s how she got sent loads of cards for her 50th birthday. She was a bit pissed when we arrived for the party. And then we handed her the real cards for her 40th.

  Migrants from war torn countries unfortunately. In some communities there’s a lot of people with birthdays on Jan 1st, because they don’t know.

  It’s tough out there in the world.

    People still don’t record accurate birthdays here. A registrar goes to a village once every 3-4 months and all the kids born within the previous few months get the same birthday (if registered at all).

    And this is a new thing. People older than that from villages have no clue how old they are. Just guess stuff.

  Having a 0 as the condition for a ternary operator seems redundant.

    Mb it’s a regex trying to match 4 or 04. Idk why make age a string, tho.

  Some people don’t know their real birthday but still celebrate on a day of their choosing.

    It’s extra-insulting, because they paid more for a ? candle rather than just asking you.

      I think they’re implying that it can be rude to broadcast someone’s age, since some people like to be private about it.

• dan@upvote.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Maybe it’s for asking questions, like “420?”

  There comes an age where you stop counting. That’s when people start referring to age by “born in year” and not as a number. Never understood my parents why they did that when I was a kid or teenager. I do it myself now, think it started with 35 or so. Hope I’m not a vampire…

  I can think of one vampire that definitely still counts.

  This is for when your wife/girlfriend turns 40, you use 4? Instead so it looks better.

  • SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    But that could imply anything upto 49. Better do ?0

  The “?” candle is obviously for a gender reveal party.

  When you have A joint party with a 2 and a 20 something year old you can break out the regex:

  27?

  My grandmother often gave us birthday cards with the age we had before. At some point she switched to generic cards with a number on it but a question mark would have done too
