I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.
But you still have to know what year it is.
Does anybody need to calculate their age? It’s not a hard thing to remember :|
Sometimes I just forget ok? I mean it’s changing every year
Also I think it matters less and less in your life. As a child/teenager you got asked for your age all the time
If you’re born in '89 just add 11 to the current year and you have your age (34). This works for any year you’re born.
Born in ''83? Just add 17 to the current year. You have your age (40)
Why do people even calculate this? It’s an integer you only have to increment once a year. Just remember 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
Also for you to calculate your age you have to remember your birthday, thats like 3 integers, vs. just 1 for your age!
Born in 99. Can confirm I just take the year and say I was that age for most of it
There’s still the part of the year before the birthday and the part of the year after the birthday.
I was born in January 2000. For a very short period of time I don’t know how old I am or what year it is, but then the rest of the year is pretty easy after that.
I’m from December 2000, so I need to make the current year -1 to be exact.
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.
You’re 2035 years old? Wild…
I’m an ancient red dragon
Bad ass. Can you fly me to my appointment later?
I thought I had it easy. Born in 1990. 2022? I’m 32. 2023? I’m 33.
But now I am married. Dec 2019. So it’s always hard to calculate how many years.
And to add to it. My daughter is born Nov 2021.
Good luck to anyone that asks me how old she is. You gotta wait until I count on all my fingers.
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
Do you guys not remember how old you are year to year? Are you frequently calculating your age from your birth year instead of just adding 1 to it on your birthday?
I always thought it was nuts that people don’t remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.
It’s not about your age difference. It’s just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn’t tell you how old either of us are
a birthday less than a year before mine
This took me far too long to understand
I frequently forget, because I rarely need my age in my daily life.
Bra I don’t know where I am let let alone how old I am
Explains why your app is garbage.
'84 here. For years now I just round myself up or down to the nearest 5 and call it a day 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.
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.
tbf, it may not be hard to calculate, but it is hard to admit I’m almost halfway my thirties…
Also born in 89, I can say I was still born in the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, it makes it easier for the people who have to check your ID when buying alcohol. Any birth year that begins with 19 is automatically old enough.
Oh trust me, my face is evidence enough alone.
It’s so flattering when I get carded.
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.
