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

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's so true.

Edit: Nope, thought of a couple important ages: 40 for women (mammogram) and 45 for everyone (colonoscopy). This is US-centric, and I'm sure there are other screenings I'm forgetting about.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I'm fairly sure they just send notices about screening stuff where I live. No need to remember it yourself

37: the year you get your ear buds

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 35 points 1 year ago

2000s babies are starting to feel old?

Shit...

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year 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.

[-] Entropy 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

You lost me at "add."

[-] Kraivo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Well, at some point i just started not adding 10

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

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 11 points 1 year ago

I would 100% agree with that.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year 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.

[-] IDontHavePantsOn@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Nobody likes you when you're 23.

[-] powermaker450@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

fuck, the song is stuck in my head now.

[-] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] dewritoninja@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Born in January 2000, I have no such weakness

[-] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

People born January 1st, 2000: pathetic

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Until they forget what year it is.

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I catch myself sometimes doing "how old was I 🤔"... I know that I'm above 35 and below 40, but was I 37, 38 or 39 🤔 😂.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's the best thing about being 40, it's easy to remember. After this, I'm screwed.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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 12 points 1 year 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 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 and in most contexts is unimportant.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hmmm but the difference between 39 and 40 is a doozy.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm probably older than you lol

[-] MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Username checks out?

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I feel like it's still 2020

[-] MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ima be honest, everything after covid started feels like it lasted less than a year and yet it’s been almost 4 years

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

i don’t even try to calculate it anymore. i just give an approximation that “feels right”.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely at least 27....

[-] D_C@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year 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 1 points 1 year ago

Yes i will write that down ok

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Ew, this guy was born in the late 1900s (just kidding, me too).

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago
[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 3 points 1 year 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 1 points 1 year ago

I don't invite forms to my birthday

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I just need take years since 2000 and add 4 :)

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't understand. Are you saying you born in 20(-04)?

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

i think they meant 1996

[-] Caesium@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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 3 points 1 year ago

I usually forget which year we are at.

[-] profdc9@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

What about people born in the year 0? :-)

[-] Ryan213@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
