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?
Who wants to know?
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.
Did you mean,
In what year were you born?
1896....now I feel old :)
Yes, but can you count your balls and get the same number twice?
Important things to do today.
“ More identity information for people wanting it.”
*********************************************
What was your mother’s maiden name? ;-)
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.
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.
1873
Oh my aching bones.
1287
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.
1437 BC
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.
*cautiously* I’ve never been to Canada.
They want to find out your birth year.
