If you're between 21 and 65, it tends not to matter much in most cases.

2000s babies are starting to feel old?

Shit...

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

To be fair I felt old at 23 but wasn't.

I'm starting to think the fact I feel old now is a little misguided too.

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

Nobody likes you when you're 23.

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.

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.

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.

Until they forget what year it is.

Yeah, I catch myself sometimes doing "how old was I ๐Ÿค”"... I know that I'm above 35 and below 40, but was I 37, 38 or 39 ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ˜‚.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 11 points 10 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

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

1999 too, if it's late enough. Like me.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

just keep a counter on your phone and increase it once per year
