people get so upset but I Im fine with anyone knowing my birthdate. Its 12/03/04 im proud to be um millenial? Z? what one was that year?

Seriously, no one would just lie to their own operating system. Just the good honest truth that I was born on 1/1/1900 for my OS!

its like my microwave going back to november 11th 2011 every time there is a power outage. can't wait to use it but 18+11 is 29. so just a few more years as thats the gold standard of lazy.

I don't get it, am I stupid?

  1. just putting in whatever is easy. I like to use a date that is easy to remember so I can keep it consistant especially if it asks me later to verify. I used to use 12/03/1987 but wanted to be younger. 11/11/11 is the gold standard but thats not usable for four years or so.

OMG I really I am stupid, I just saw it. I was just in a demonstration so I had my mind clouded with 1312 so I was not seeing the obvious lol

whats wierd is my last comment was supposed to start with 1234 but somehow I caused a formatting for a 1. section table type thing. at least that is what I see now.
