      45 this year, guess I’ll do the same, after I yell at these pesky kids to get off my lawn.

        Hello fellow 44 nearly 45 year old. This is your friendly notification to take your Advil.

        Also be careful when sleeping, you don’t want to injure your back

          Hello, I’m here to remind you that ibuprofen absolutely wrecks your gut lining and is brutal on your kidneys. Try some other forms of pain relief if you can.

      Desperately clinging to my mid-40’s too old bro… not looking forward to this next one.

    As of today, someone born in 1999 was the same age as Marilyn Monroe was when she was born. Makes you think.

      Funny and clever.
      it got Llama 3.1 a.i. completely confused … which could never translate it right even with my help. But a better a.i. (GPT-4o mini) got it easily the first time and could explain it well.

    I’m 42 and had to think about this for a moment. I’m not clever.

    A person born in 1899 looks exactly the same as they will look once we hit 2035. Let that marinate

        Fun fact, there wasn’t a year zero!

        It went from 1 BCE to 1 CE

          Yeah, Y0K. They had to update all their scrolls because the dates were all in BC format.

          Yeah, like, totally. People were going like “what year is it, bro?” “Bro, it’s 1 before current era, bro.” Hey, bro, you want a pamphlet?" “Brochure.”

          Is this because after the new year everyone kept accidentally using the same year when dating everything? I mean we keep writing the previous year for months after the rollover out of habit. :P

      This is logically reductible to : a person looks exactly as they look. i find it funny that your (complete) statement confuses GPT-4o mini

    Being born 1996, does that make me 69 or is my math wrong?

      Since I’m born in 1987 and am 420, your math seems to check out.

    For those mathematicians saying “tHiS isN’T tRUe”: The tweet is exactly 2 years old. So much about that.

      It’s fake news. You gotta be careful with these internet “sources”. Do your research!

        Ah, gotcha. The brief moment of dread I got that I was too old to get why the math was so bad.

    And yet anyone born in 2009 is only 12 years old. Kids these days just don’t put any effort into growing up

      To be fair, we’re halfway through this decade and it’s been harder than 90’s, 00’s and 10’s combined.
