As soon as I posted that I realised it looked like a middle finger. It's not supposed to!

As soon as you posted that, I realized it looks like a middle finger. I chuckled whether it was supposed to or not. Guess I'll be turning 15 this year!

Happy 4th Birthday!

...okay, yeah, family joke. You get your "real age" by adding the digits in your age together.

3+1=4

If you get a two-digit number as the sum, you have the option of adding again.

The benefit of this system is, you never actually age past 18.

Jay • Sep 18 '19

so no more "walked into bar" jokes ?

Edouard Duplessis • Sep 18 '19

oh nice I'm 4 too... guess the two numbers now...

Fred Richards • Sep 18 '19

I have a philosophy that everyone I don't know is 29... it has served me well.

Jason C. McDonald • Sep 18 '19 • Edited

That all depends on what you believe is typical of 29-year-olds. That philosophy could be good, or incredibly bad.

I've known a couple of people that clearly assumed anyone they didn't know was an overambitious college-undergrad-turned-script-kiddie, which led them to look their nose down at people with many times more experience than them.

1 and 3?

Or is it 2 and 2?

Edouard Duplessis • Sep 20 '19

you're so wrong..... :)

Jason C. McDonald • Sep 21 '19

Based on the picture, you're 3+1

Zohar Peled • Sep 18 '19

I remembered, just didn't know you that well. That's also my wife's birthday.

Nick Taylor • Sep 18 '19

Happy Birthday Enjoy

Ben Lovy • Sep 18 '19

Celebration plans?

Ben Halpern • Sep 18 '19

I think plans exist, but I’m a bit out of the loop 🙂

Fred Richards • Sep 18 '19

One could say the plans are uhh, not null.

Ben Lovy • Sep 18 '19

good answer

Alan Barr • Sep 19 '19

Happy birthday Ben! Thanks for building a great community.

Jacob Evans • Sep 21 '19

Didn't even think of posting my birthday on here. Maybe that would have softened the blow of no one really saying anything to me or calling me beside the Facebook crap people do when prompted.

Got like a phone call from family and my partner and I had a date night while our daughter's grandpa watched her... It wasnt all bad....

Anyways... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
