Born in 80’ So in year 2023>20+23= I’m 43

Duvidl ,

The math checks out.

Deelala0516 ,

I was born in 79 and am also 43. Math is hard.

Screwthehole ,

What about before your birthday, when you have to subtract one? That’s the part I always have to think about

Not too long ago, I was filling out a medical form and I had to ask my wife how old I was. She had to think about it. We’re the same age.

CuriousGeorge ,

At some point, I’ve been asked less and less my age, so I just forget about it heh

LonelyWendigo ,

I understand that people are scared of “new” math, but for a 1989 birthday just take the last too digits of the current year, add ten, then add one if you’ve already had a birthday this year, e.g. 23+10+1=34. Almost the same math I used to count change when I worked retail.

Hello fellow Wendigo! Feel less lonely now?

… you lost my brain at 1989.

Its not so bad for me, i was born in 96 so i just have to add 4

Lumidaub ,

You’ll get people ridiculing you for not remembering your own age but believe you me, you’re not alone in the struggle. My husband and I started dating in 2000 so that’s awfully convenient.

The_v ,

My wife and I started dating in 2000 as well. Got married in 2001. The math is in my favor for remembering how long we’ve been together and our wedding anniversary.

Now our ages are a bit harder. '77 and '79.

My younger son has it easy. Born in 2010.

I never had a problem when I was younger, but as I get older (I’m not even that old) it gets harder. Not REALLY hard or anything, but having to pause to remember how old I am sometimes makes me feel a bit slow.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We got married in 2000 and our daughter was born in 2010. Very easy to remember.

Cartendole ,

Can confirm, am born in 2000.

I was lucky and was born in 1990. I've always appreciated that all you have to do to figure out my age is add 10 to the year. Like, when it's 2054, I know I'll be 64.

hairysonorth ,

Only 90 babies will get this

key ,

Unless you’re born in the middle of the year, in which case it’s constant “off by 1” errors

Deelala0516 ,

I forgot how old I was a couple months ago and had to pull up an online age calculator cuz I could not make it make sense. Yes, I’m stupid.

WuergerLarsDietrich ,

Today year - 2000 + 11 is that hard?

Judgy_McJudgerson ,

Dude, I’m lucky if I remember what “today year” even is, much less the math! Time got weird after 2020…

Talaraine ,
@Talaraine@kbin.social avatar

I mean, you're right, but birth month counts too...I don't know about OP but that always throws me off as my bday isn't until Dec.

It's not that you can't figure it out, it's just being embarrassed when you're wrong.

Puppy ,
@Puppy@kbin.social avatar

Math don't check out.

I'm 33, your equation equals 34.

ElectronSoup ,

It changes once a year, how stupid are some people that this is an issue?

@itadakimasu@lemmy.world avatar

Wait till you get a little older and start having a hard time remembering how old you are.

All becomes a blur at some point

@apis@kbin.social avatar

And what year it is!

Puppy ,
@Puppy@kbin.social avatar

If you think about your age every day, you are the stupid one around here. Or maybe you are just 13 and it's easy because you eagerly await the next year so you can be treated a little bit more like an adult so you count the days.

MontyVirus ,

My exact age is almost never relevant in my day-to-day life, I pretty much only get reminded of it on my actual birthday and don’t think much about it for the rest of the year. So if somebody asks for my age, usually I’ll be off by a year or two and my wife will need to correct me, because for some reason she remembers.

TellMeWendigo ,
@TellMeWendigo@kbin.social avatar

Damn. You sure told us. May this be your shining achievement of the day

burgersc12 ,

I mean if youre within a couple years of it you would be like current year +5 or whatever

@UnicornKitty@lemmy.world avatar

Try 77 sometime. The only reason I knew my mom’s age is she was born in 57. Occasionally I’d even have to work the other way to figure out how old I was!

My kids were exactly 18 months apart, same day, one in 1999 and one in 2001. Math made (mostly) easy, baby.

minorsecond ,

I realized it was all over once I began forgetting how old I am.

darko8472 ,

I just have to add 20 on to get mine, so not too bad.

btonz ,

One of us. One of us.

Today ,

This makes me feel better about having to ask my husband how old i am.
