Yeah, this is definitely gonna work, as if I haven’t been over 18 years old since I was 12 years old, according to every birthdate question ever.

According to every site ever I was born on Jan 1, 2000.

Fake age comparison really making me feel old. Mine was Jan 1,1980

Lmfao for real, putting my fake age as born in 2000 would make me younger 🙃

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

That was well below 18 for most of the time I have used the Internet. People born on that day were toddlers when I started to seriously use the Internet.

I could nowadays enter my real DOB and get through all checks but I usually still pick something in the 1970s or 1980s.

Only since 2018. Before then I was born on 1/1/1990.

If the default date is old enough to get past the prompt, I use that one. If it isn't, I pick a random year that is. I don't have to lie unless I want a senior discount or something, but I just don't want to share my birthdate with any random site or service.

Nice. I just scroll randomly a bit. I think it's funny getting random birthday wishes throughout the year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I do the same, but use the real year. I was born a little before your number
