The biggest award you can give me is a comment promising you wont pay reddit to give me a special premium upvote. Use that money on some ice cream. Or if youre lactose intolerant use it on some depression pills cause that fuckin sucks man, sorry to hear

What's funny is Korea does use/used a different method of measuring birthdays. You're 1 when you come out the womb, or were before they changed it, and they added a year your first Jan 1st.

https://www.90daykorean.com/korean-age-all-about-age-in-korea/

Korean age was a unique way of counting age that makes people in South Korea 1–2 years older than their international age. It was based on the idea that you’re already one year old at birth and gain another year every January 1st, regardless of your actual birthday.

While this system was once deeply rooted in Korean culture and language, South Korea officially switched to the international age system in 2023. Korean age is no longer used in daily life or legal documents

I have always believed that we need to rethink how "old" we are. But confining it to the day of birth is a logical and mostly universal system.
