When they ask but they start with the current year. Yes, I was born in 2026 now let me in.


At least at a PC you can type in the number to get it there quick. Those kinds of selection inputs on a phone suck. Like so much.

I just do January first of however far it goes with a quick swipe.

The distressing part is how that’s shifted from saying I’m way older than I am to saying I’m way younger than I am.

Younger….older….I’m all ages and nonexistant at the same time. I am a simple concept. I am insanity. I have 47 arms, 362 penises, 926 vaginas, and 626 totally new genitalia of my own unique creation which I haven’t named yet.

I drive an F1 racecar to my job on the moon making space biscuits for cowboys and indians that fight each other on Jupitor.

Your mere mortal laws do not apply to me! I’m inside everybodys butthole, making it itch when you’re giving a public speech.

That’s a lot of combined urethrae. How do you decide which to pee out of?


User name checks out.


My first name is a random set of numbers and letters and other alphanumerics that changes hourly forever

My last name, a thousand vowels fading down a sinkhole to a sussurus, couldn’t just be John Doe or Bingo

My address, a made up language written out in living glyphs, lifted from demonic literature and religious text

Telephone uncovered by purveyors of the Ouija, then checked against the CBGB women’s room graffiti

My social, a sudoku

My age is obscure

My ‘in-case-of-emergency’ is in the daisies chasing birds

Employed by trillionaires with perfect teeth and pores, and people who open doors for the people who open doors

My medical history is a course at SUNY Buffalo

Charlatan psychiatry and troubleshooting undertow

Nervous in the service still,

I’m burger meat and purple pills

“Here, thank you. We’ll call your name.”

Sure you will

Oh. Is that what it was?




It’s an apple inspired UI thing. Luckily, the built-in android date selector isn’t stupid anymore.

A banking app I use (on Android) put in a bespoke date/time selector with scroll wheels, with no option to type.

It’s like they went out of their way to make using their app a pain in the ass.



As dumb as this meme is, it also is very true… i definitely signed up for a few things recently and found myself thinking man i can’t believe i gotta scroll this long, I really am old.

Ikr the 90s keep getting further and further away



Make sure to squat with proper form, don’t wanna pull a muscle.

IIRC there was an incident where someone went super hard on the wheel and got kind of pulled into it and clobbered on the head by one of the pins. Or maybe this was just a deep inner phobia of mine.

Any bit of machinery, even if unpowered and covered in bright numbers, with non-arbitrary mass can carry enough momentum to break bones and crush fingers


This is true. I don’t heal like I used to.



type the first digits, auto-scrolls to your epoc


That’s great, God gave us many many days, all for free! 👍

On the other hand, seeing my lovely curls become slightly grayer/whiter is somewhat annoying, lol. I don’t want all these reminders of my mortality when I’m not even 35! Oh well.

Especially if the pulldown for the birth year starts with 2026 for a service where you need to be at least x years old.


Haha yeah this is accurate but I never pick the right year…

Who fills in these forms truthfully?


I have a hatchback wagon car. This is how I feel every time I close it after unloading groceries.

Spin mf-er! Mamma needs health insurance!


Are you also born in the 1900s?

We’re not “Millennials,” we’re “turn of the century people”



This meme has real boomer Facebook vibes; well played.
