See this as an opportunity to pick a birthday you really want.

I wonder if there are spikes at 1980-01-01, 1990-01-01 and 2000-01-01.

What if it's my real birthday? Who will believe me.

I mean I know 1/1 is a very popular “birthday” for cultures that don’t actually celebrate but people are asked to pick one.

1/1 is the birthday of all horses.

As far as Steam knows, I'm turning 126 next week.

I've been born in 1980 since I was like 12. Might graduate to being born in 1990 or 2000 if someone ever makes me scroll to the year.

[–] spy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

As far as I am aware, most people are indeed born on January first.

[–] SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I use 2000-01-01 for most things.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

Me too. I used to use 1990-01-01, until I noticed that suddenly people from the early 2000s are adults too.

I love getting a random bday email from playstation that I setup when was like 14. Pretty sure I was born in 1946 or something.

Of course, there's that, but it's a good lesson to learn that just because some jackass requires that you fill in a birthday you're under no obligation to give it to them.
