I don’t know about that. I regularly forget what year it is.
Then again, I’m pushing 40.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, 2021 has to be the easiest year for club bouncers
If you live in a country with a weirdly high drinking age.
Kids born February 29, 2000, turned 6 years old this year.
Ahkshually, they’ve only had 6 birthdays. They’re still 24 years old.
I regularly forget what year it is though…
It’s 1993, right?
Bro that was 10 years ago.
1969
Nice.
They can if you hit them in the head hard enough.
Works for someone born in 1980 like myself. Easy to track when born at the beginning of a decade.
I mean, equally as easy to split the equation. Born in 1999? Subtract current year from 1990. Then subtract 9. Easy.
And the easiest way to count sheep is to count all the legs and divide by 4, right?
If you don’t see a difference between “do the tens, then do a simple subtraction with digits between 1 - 9” and dividing an arbitrary number by four, then there is no sense arguing. Also it would lead to bad results in your example - the average number of legs a sheep has isn’t 4.
For most herds of sheep, the average is four.
Especially if they were born January 1st.
December 31st throws the whole thing off though.
Not if it’s 1999-12-31 ;)
Did you fill in your TPS reports?
I have no idea what that is.
Uuuuuh, yeeeeeeeeeeah. We’re gonna need you to come in on Saturday.
Yes
I’m sure an unfortunate bang on the head could invalidate that one
Edit: that reads a lot more like a threat than I intended it
Unless they develop Alzheimer’s or something else that fucks with their memory. 🤷🏻♂️
As a 2000, it makes it stupid easy
I’m a 1990 and I thought I had it good.
Its gonna be really helpful later in my life thats for sure, for now not really.
If they were born later in the year than it currently is, they’ll have to -1
Who’s got it easier? The people born in 2000 or 2001?

Subtract 12 from your birth year. Now add +(6X2) to that number.
That’s the year you were born.

Er, uh, ok?
Like do people forget how old they are just because of the year they were born?
If someone does forget their age, they just have to do a little math, no different than someone born in 2000.
I think the point is just that the little bit of math is very easy if you’re born in 2000.
Totally!
Thread OP, kinda like it’s easier to do the math when trying to remember your age or the year something happened in reference to one another.
“I remember I was 12 when I got braces”, so they know the year was 2012 when they got braces…
…which is easier than having to calculate:
- I was born in 1993
- so, 2000 - 1993 = 7
- and, 12 - 7 = 5
- 2000 + 5 = 2005 is when they got braces.
