Ages when you’re in your prime: 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109
@dramypsyd well I'm 36 so fuck me right?
@JeanB Next year will be your year!
@JeanB @dramypsyd same. even worse, we’re both just squares!
@JeanB @dramypsyd Yeah lucky you I’m 33 so another four years of this…

@JeanB @dramypsyd

36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3, which is pretty cool.

@dramypsyd
Also: 2

@gnate @dramypsyd And 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19.

(edited to remove 1, which is not prime (oops!) because it's getting boosts and I don't want the error to propagate)

@irina @gnate @dramypsyd 1 is not prime! 🙃
btw. 2027 and 2029 are Twin Primes too 🙂
@Mazzo @gnate @dramypsyd Goodness, no, it isn't. I think 2 confused me 🙂
@irina @Mazzo @dramypsyd They don't call it terrible for nothing!
@Mazzo @irina @gnate @dramypsyd 1 could be prime but then you’d have to add a clause for pretty much every prime number theorem.
@pete @irina @gnate @dramypsyd
thats why it is not prime(these days); poor 1, even heard its not even a number 😂 #math /j
@Mazzo @pete @gnate @dramypsyd I saw a video explaining why 1 isn't prime. Usually I hate video explainers but this one was excellent! (from the Numberphile, I think)
@irina @pete @gnate @dramypsyd indeed it was Dr. James Grime and Brady i have to thank for my understanding of primes 🥰
was it this video?

@irina @gnate @dramypsyd Dang, didn't see your reply before we chimed in! 
@strangeculprits @gnate @dramypsyd That's the curse of the fediverse!
@irina @gnate @dramypsyd those are minor primes. Please have a seat over there 😂
@irina @gnate @dramypsyd I know it's not prime, but it looks prime.
@dramypsyd YAY! And in six years again
@dramypsyd thanks! Now i know what the next birtday party will be themed
@dramypsyd Yup. Began referring to my 40s as my prime decade some time ago 😂
@dramypsyd I turned 40 yesterday and this tracks
@dramypsyd And 113:

> »Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”«

Genesis 6:3 - Corruption on the Earth

So the LORD said, My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.

@kas @dramypsyd you're kidding! Did he say that? Were you there?
@kas @dramypsyd yeah, but what does god know? They only made one talking donkey.
@dramypsyd what should I do while I wait for the next good year to come around?
@dramypsyd I just turned 48 on Thursday. Looks like I've left my prime.
@dramypsyd Wait, that's also ages when I'm clearly odd?
@dramypsyd
I know we don’t get to define other people… but Dr. Amy is a dad!
@Woodswalked awwwww this is a pretty high compliment!
@dramypsyd If I ever reach 109 it's gonna be the new 82.

@dramypsyd

Great! I have one of those coming up next birthday!

@dramypsyd @thomasfuchs I can tell you for a fact, the only thing prime about 47 is the number. LOL

@dramypsyd

Just got bumped because of a birthday. 6 yrs till my next prime.

@dramypsyd 17 and 19 are pretty good years too
@dramypsyd damn, that 8 year gap between 89 and 97
@dramypsyd @thomasfuchs
Very happy to report I am in my prime
71!

@dramypsyd
Ages when you're perfect:

6, 28, 496, 8128, 33550336,...

I know the 6 and 28 are true from experience. Waiting to test the others.

@dramypsyd Dammit, so I'm in my Prime now at 43 but I turn 44 on Saturday so I won't be in my prime anymore. Until I reach 47 in a few years and then I'll be Prime again? :O
@dramypsyd More plentiful than those powers of 2!
@dramypsyd I have to wait 8 - 8???? - years before I reach my prime again? Seriously? That's terrifying! AND so wrong! At no other age does one have that long a wait. The rest of this year better start getting more prime NOW !
@dramypsyd The forties and the seventies are good. The nineties are a plain disappointment. Becoming three-digits is when the fun starts. 🤗
@dramypsyd what about 2,3,5,7,11,13,17?
@dramypsyd You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime…
@dramypsyd it's ironic from the comments that this toot seems so divisive.
@dramypsyd @siracusa I’m almost one of those (old) ages, and the prime joke, though funny, is no joke to me 🙁
