I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.

      Sometimes I just forget ok? I mean it’s changing every year

      Also I think it matters less and less in your life. As a child/teenager you got asked for your age all the time

    its just 11 + the current year.
    I am 1988 so i am 12 + the current year.

    Didn’t think of it like that until your post but it is pretty easy.

        Pretending you’re blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.

          I’m not pretending, I’m just old. :) Not interested in any of that. You probably realize that there is an age when you just stop caring about all that shit. If not, you will see for yourself later in life.

    Math like that is really simple if you take it in easy chunks.

    For example, to calc your age, just take the years from birthday to 2000 (11) and add it to the years since 2000 (23). 11 + 23 = 34.

    Best part is the first calc never changes - so if you remember thst number it’s just like having a 2000 birthday. Just add 11.
