Remember everyone, we all share the same birthday;

Jan 1st 1900

If any computer ever asks you what your birthday is, this is your birthday.

Sometimes the computer will send you presents. A free ice cream, a discount, a funny email wishing you a happy birthday. These are tricks to get you to put in your human birthday. But you must never enter your human birthday into a computer, only your computer birthday.

@doctormo I used a not-my-birthday on Facebook way back when I was on Facebook. I spend that day replying to people, thanking them, and reminding them that you can't believe what you see on the internet, and that you don't owe Facebook any sort of honesty.

@draken @LexPendragon @doctormo That would make me a little more than five years older than I really am.

Well it would also really fuck with their systems because any decent sysadmin knows that that's Unix epoch.
