What year were you born in?

Posted on 01/11/2022 7:01:40 AM PST by Jonty30

This is making the rounds on the internet. If you take the number of years between 2021 and your year of birth and then subtract those years from your year of birth, what year would that be?

In my case, 2021-1968 = 53. Then 1968 - 53 is 1916.

Just for fun, what year would you get?

Why is this interesting?

It tells you the year in which a person who was your current age when you were born was born. (Get you mind around that sentence!) For instance if you were born in 1972, and are now 50, a person who was 50 when you were born, was born in 1922. If you were born in 1940, and are 82, then someone who was 82 when you were born would have been born in 1858. Gives you an idea of the depth of time, and how close the past really is.

Yes, but can you count your balls and get the same number twice?

Important things to do today.

It is very interesting to hackers or identity thieves, beause from your answer they can easily compute your year of birth:
Y=(A+2021)/2, which is often a security question.

Both my grandfathers were born in 1888. Only one lived long enough to see manned space flight but he passed in 1968 before we landed on the moon.
To go from horse and buggy to space flight must have been and incredible experience.

My grandfather came West in a covered wagon and passed away shortly after the Apollo 17 moon landing.

My paternal grandfather was born well before Custer’s Last Stand.

It’s an interesting mind game to think about that.

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

You mean like those "how do I get a silencer for my pistol" vanity posts?

My grandmother was born in 1899. When I was a kid she told me how as a child she knew a Civil War veteran who in turn knew a man who fought in the Revolution.

The point being to be aware that the past is not so long ago as some people think it is.

They say “time flies,” but you can’t. They pass at too irregular intervals.

I was born after the “Joe-1” atomic bomb test but before the USC Trojans and Wisconsin Badgers played each other for the first time.
