1990 is pretty easy too I just add 10 the the last 2 digits of the current year and subtract 1 if it’s before August
At some point, you start to forget how old you are

You lost me at “add.”
Kraivo@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Well, at some point i just started not adding 10

Just because you’re old, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re wise.
I know lots of older people with years of experience that are just as dumb as they were when they were 18.
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I would 100% agree with that.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
I’m also considered old and I now understand what my elders used to tell me when I was younger … I feel just as dumb now as I did when I was younger … it’s not a lack of intelligence … it’s just a realization that no matter how much you try, there will always be someone smarter than you.
If you ever do find that you are the smartest person around, you’re probably closer to death than anyone else.

Nobody likes you when you’re 23.

Born in November 2000 Still having issues calculating age since for most of the year it’s year-2001 but after November it’s year-2000

Born in January 2000, I have no such weakness
Sanyanov@lemmy.world 7 months ago
People born January 1st: pathetic
SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Me, except I forget what year it is. Like last month I said I was 19 to someone only to later realize that was 4 years ago.
IDontHavePantsOn@lemm.ee 7 months ago
There’s that joke about using months for your kids age way past a normal range, but the other day I figured out the benefits of the month based age system. I was asked how old my child was and was questioning my sanity. " 2? 3? Uhh… 2.5…" I mean 6 months is 25% of a two year olds life. To add to that, the 9 months of pregnancy, the late nights of screaming and crying that make you forget what year it is.
At least when you count the months you are within a close range when you get it wrong. Saying your kid is 2 or 3 years old is like saying your grandpa is either 66 or 99.
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Have you tried not doing that?
can@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Until they forget what year it is.
0x4E4F@infosec.pub 7 months ago
Yeah, I catch myself sometimes how old I am 🤔… I know that I’m above 35 and below 40, but was I 37, 38 or 39 🤔 😂.
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s the best thing about being 40, it’s easy to remember. After this, I’m screwed.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m 46. A few months ago, I was filling out a medical form and it asked me my age along with my birthdate. I had to ask my wife because I couldn’t remember. She couldn’t remember either. We’re the same age.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 months ago
do ppl really forget what year it is after the spring??
and the meme isnt saying 2000 is old, it’s saying the math is easy
vimdiesel@lemmy.world 7 months ago
soon you’ll be old enough that 1 year won’t seem worth worrying about, I assure you. difference between 29 and 30 years is miniscule
Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Hmmm but the difference between 39 and 40 is a doozy.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I’m probably older than you lol
aidan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes, I feel like it’s still 2020
MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ima be honest, everything after covid started feels like it lasted less than a year and yet it’s been almost 4 years
Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 7 months ago
1999 too, if it’s late enough. Like me.
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ew, this guy was born in the late 1900s (just kidding, me too).
Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Ok boomer.
affiliate@lemmy.world 7 months ago
i don’t even try to calculate it anymore. i just give an approximation that “feels right”.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 7 months ago
I’m definitely at least 27…
D_C@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Right there with you. I’ve been 27 for a good few years now, before that I was 26 for about 5 years.
Willer@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes i will write that down ok
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 7 months ago
2000 feels old? ROFL I got news for you kids…
comador@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Lmao, was thinking the same thing.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I don’t celebrate birthdays so I just don’t keep track of it until i need to put it on a form or something.
MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Kinda the same, I don’t celebrate my birthday (though I do look forward to it anyways, I just kinda stay at home like on any other day) and I keep forgetting how old I am
sigh@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I don’t invite forms to my birthday
Matriks404@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I just need take years since 2000 and add 4 :)
ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I don’t understand. Are you saying you born in 20(-04)?
shneancy@lemmy.world 7 months ago
i think they meant 1996
Caesium@lemmy.world 7 months ago
2000s gang rise up! it’s even better cause I’m a February baby so like only a tiny bit of the year doesn’t match!
bouh@lemmy.world 7 months ago

Pilokyoma@mujico.org 7 months ago

profdc9@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
What about people born in the year 0? :-)
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 7 months ago
If you’re between 21 and 65, it tends not to matter much in most cases.
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s so true.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I’m fairly sure they just send notices about screening stuff where I live. No need to remember it yourself
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 7 months ago
37: the year you get your ear buds
