What year were you born in?

“This is making the rounds on the internet.”

We do indeed live in hard times.

That number would put me back before the Civil War. My Great-Grandfather had not even married yet at that time, and Abraham Lincoln was a backwoods lawyer.

It’s 1297. And I turn my back Englishers and lift my kilt to show my bare arse to the King.

Is this an information mining post? I expect to see a lot of these dual intention posts soon.

[Deaf Smith]

I've known various people born in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries...

Does that count to amuse you?

[Qilin]

2*y - 2021, where y is the year of my birth.

By the way, you made an error because an even number minus (or plus) and odd number is an odd number.

No kidding. People who respond to this type of social media game is just begging to get hacked for their personal information.

All these quizzes and games are designed to collect your person al info.

Wouldn’t it be easier just to subtract your age from the year of your birth?...............

“More identity information for people wanting it.”

Absolutely, the last thing you share on a board like this is your birthdate. It can narrow the mining down to a positive ID.

That and eat Poutine.............

I was born after 3 mile island, but before the Iranian hostage crisis.

I don't know much about PA geology but I would guess that 3 mile island was 'born' within a couple thousand years after the most recent ice age. The Iran hostage crisis started Nov 4 1979.

Only on social media. I don’t consider Freerepublic to be a social media site. I don’t do any of the quizzes on Facebook or anything that might allow the Zuck to datamine.

That certainly wasn’t my intent on this thread. I just the difference in years was interesting.

I think most here, myself included, would land somewhere in the Old Testament.

[Allegra]

PII. Not gonna do it. :)

[piasa]

It is info useful to identity thieves.

[Red Badger]

[Red Badger]

I knew Moses and Aaron..........
