I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.
Born in 99. Can confirm I just take the year and say I was that age for most of it
It’s great. When people ask me how old I am I just ask them which year is this and repeat the last two digits.
Unless you’re born in the middle of the year, in which case it’s constant “off by 1” errors
Array indexing still biting us in 2022
Y’all forget how old you are? Can’t imagine ever having to calculate my current age.
Wait until you get older. :)
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.
I mean if youre within a couple years of it you would be like current year +5 or whatever
its just 11 + the current year.
I am 1988 so i am 12 + the current year.Didn’t think of it like that until your post but it is pretty easy.
depends if you’ve had your birthday that year
You’re 2035 years old? Wild…
I’m an ancient red dragon
Bad ass. Can you fly me to my appointment later?
lol sure, I think I am chaotic evil though so I may just eat you.
I’ll take the chance.
Why do people even calculate this? It’s an integer you only have to increment once a year. Just remember your age.
Also for you to calculate your age you have to remember your birthday, thats like 3 integers, vs. just 1 for your age!
I hardly remember what I was doing 5 seconds ago. Sure, that’s more complicated than a number, and I think about my age rather frequently so remembering it is rather easy, but storing anything for a year and remembering it when I haven’t thought about it for a while is difficult.
as i get older i find myself wondering sometimes if im still my age or the next one already
I just have to add 20 on to get mine, so not too bad.
One of us. One of us.
Jan 2000 here :)
Dang thats the money.
Indeed, I was supposed to born on the 31st Dec 1999 but didn’t feel like it I guess :)
Math like that is really simple if you take it in easy chunks.
For example, to calc your age, just take the years from birthday to 2000 (11) and add it to the years since 2000 (23). 11 + 23 = 34.
Best part is the first calc never changes - so if you remember thst number it’s just like having a 2000 birthday. Just add 11.
But I’m only 33! So part of the challenge is also remembering what day it is today lol
The entitlement of the younglins these days. I swear, they are getting soft. I have to take the current year, and add twenty, but the lazy ass youth just have to subtract their birth year from the current year. Maths will suffer because they don’t have to do addition. Pure insanity and liberal malarkey.
Oh yeah, /s
Born in 80’ So in year 2023>20+23= I’m 43
The math checks out.
I was born in 79 and am also 43. Math is hard.
What about before your birthday, when you have to subtract one? That’s the part I always have to think about
You’d be surprised…
'84 here. For years now I just round myself up or down to the nearest 5 and call it a day lol
Hello fellow 40yo coming next year
Hey, are ya’ll me?
‘87 here, kinda the same at this point lol
For like 3 years I legit thought I was older than I am because I did the math wrong on the fly once and never bothered to recheck it…
Your system is easier.
