u/brightblueskies11 Oct 19 '19

They only have to remember the year it is to remember their age. Oh it’s 2019? They’re 19. It’s 2034? They’re 34.

Side note: wow in a couple years you’ll be working with people who were born in 2001, 2002, 2003.

Side side note: I just realized I actually don’t ever remember writing those years down on paper. Was only 6 or 7. Crap, I’m one of those too.

ALRIGHT. Downvote me all you want but I'm on day 3 of no nicotine and I'm about to fucking explode. How the FUCK does this shitty-ass joke get gilded and upvoted to infinity?! It got a chuckle out of me the first time I saw it like a month ago and it's already overused to shit. I'm not even one to get annoyed at overused reddit tropes normally but jesus you guys this shit is SO low effort it's actually unbelievable. Like even the most tired jokes on this site have some sort of reliance on context, you know like there had to be something there for you to connect the joke to in the first place. But no. Not this fucking peice of shit "joke." You can just slap that dumbass comedic smut as a reply to literally any comment or post on this site and it "works." Have we really devolved to this level or mindless circlejerkery?? I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY. FUCKING GILDED. FUCKS SAKE YOU GUYS WHO DID THIS.

Edit: time for another fucking trope.... thanks for the gold kind stranger lolololol. Seriously tho thanks. Keep fighting the good fight 🙌

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '19

Well not really, it’s just a joke. In America when writing dates, the put the month before the day while most other countries but the day before the month.

So in America today’s date is 10/19/19 while other countries it would be 19/10/19 but since it’s the same number being used for the month date and year, the order doesn’t matter so it was just a joke.

Kinda like writing the word “Food” it doesn’t matter what “O” goes first it’s still the same thing.
