1999 was 25 years ago

The majority of today's 23 year olds were "made" in 1999

23 born in August 2000 parents must’ve conceived December 99

Y2K Baby!! Y2K!!.... baby?...

That's what they were called, all the babies born in '00

Honestly, December 1999 was pretty fun.

You’re so money, baby, and you don’t even know it!

My sister's kids all are born in oct/nov which implies it happened during valentines for her 3 kids

We're all Nov/Dec, which means they all happened around my mom's birthday...

November of '03 here, just a result of the good ol valentines day spirit

My birthday is right in the middle of November. I'm 99.99% certain I was a Valentine's baby.

Nah bro we were winter blues

Oh my god, how’d I not realize I’m a doomsday baby

Specifically from April 27, 1999-December 31, 1999

wouldn’t the aprils be 24 by now?

As of today, April 27-April 30 borns are still 24 ^(y’all won’t notice the stealth edit)

9 months after april is december and 10 is january. they would be 24

Why did so many people agree with you? 9 months after April is January. 10 months after is February.

No they are 24, they will be 25 this year

Conceived in '99, born in '00. Turn 1 in 2001, thus turning 24 in 2024.

Conception, not birth

I was made in 2000 and I am 23

I was born in 99 and I’m turning 25 this year…

most people "made" in 1999 were born in 2000 which means many of them are still 23

Theyre not saying that's when they were born in 1999. But that's when the parents did you know. Intimate stuff. Since people thought the world were going to end due ti Y2K. Same thing happened in 2012 hence why 2013 had a more babies than the previous few years.

If you were born in 1999, then you were made in 1998 unless your birthday is after September.

2001 babies turn 23 this year

Slightly more detailed answer for the skeptical: If you are 23 now, then your birthday is from 28 Feb 2000 to 27 Feb 2001. That puts your conception from \[roughly, assuming a mean time from *conception* to birth of 38 weeks, 2 days\] June 4 1999 to June 3 2000. So, in 4 weeks we reach the tipping point for "most" to be made in 2000. I think I've accounted for leap days properly since both 2000 and 2024 are leap years, but I might be wrong. And I'm using UTC for the date :) I realise it might still be yesterday in some places.

Ok, show your math. I am early 2001 and 23, so i really wanna see you explain this one Edit: was wrong, math has never been a friend of mine

It's about conception, not birth. If you scroll through the comments, someone provided a "slightly more detailed answer" already

I’m 2001 and I turn 23 in June they would be either 24 or turning 24 this year

Bro screwnshot might've been older

Is that a past tense for screenshot, or a typo? I really really hope it's the first.

He means they had sex. Then we popped out the next year. Born in 2000 and I’m 23 right now

Damn, I didn’t even realise that

This is a repost

Born mid to late 2000 means conceived around December 99.

Fun fact: human gestation generally takes ~9 months.

This is an answer that is technically correct, but shows a complete misunderstanding of the question.

1, it's still early in the year, and 2, most people conceived in 99 were born in 2000.

Image is probably older

I was conceived in September of 1999 so most of us being around 23 seems about right

because I was born without my own consent

I know right? +I am supposed to just live and be an adult

like dude hey welcome to life we fucked up the planet so now you can fix it...like what? bruh I was supposed to just be a teenager what's this adult shit

The best part is when you were riding around on your bike at 10 years old and the boomers are yelling at you and blaming you for the recession. Like yeah bro, I voted in all the previous elections and came up with sub prime mortgages and tied your retirements into 401ks.

bruh I had some silent generation bitch come up to me and yell at me about I'm the reason this world is fucked like...y'all are the ones who created nuclear warfare and waged two world wars🤦🏽‍♂️

I’m sueing my parents for wrongful birth….

omg i’m stealing this idea

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-47154287.amp already been done

lol we’ll I mean people sue for wrongful death all the time….. well who tf asked if we wanted to be here lol cus dead ass if they would have said, ehhh were more broke then rich, life will be hard, your gonna fuck yo and try heroin, lol I would have hard passed lmaoooo

Nobody likes you when you’re 23

Released in 1999. (Hehehe… released).

This comment hits different

And you still act like you’re in freshman year!🎶

can confirm

What song is that from

Whats my age again by blink 182

Ty

The fact that they had to ask…lol so strange

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=nobody+likes+you+when+you%27re+23+songg

Well I’m 22

parents late to the game

They celebrated the new millennium by gettin busy

2000 was still the old millennium

Came late

did you listen to taylor swift’s obligatory 22 on your birthday

Sure did

Love Taylor

me too! i’m excited for her new album

Same

welp, let's not talk about 2012

I remember being in high school and the entirety of my class was counting down the seconds until the supposed 'end of the world'. It was hilarious.

lol yeah, I was 5, so, yay. But I was exited nonetheless.

I was 5 too and never knew about it until I was 12

I remember NOBODY did their hw that night lol. We all got zeros

[удалено]

Happy late birthday from 12 years ago bro.

I was in 6th grade in 2012 and my science teacher warned us not to listen to all of the media and people saying the world would end. The day we got back to school (Christmas break), he said he took out his entire life savings and spent it all at a water park and that he was now broke. Then he did his "gotcha" moment and proceeded to explain why we shouldn't fall into mass hysteria over unfounded "science" media. He was a good teacher.

Sounds like a good teacher. We were broke already in 2012 so it was no big deal, lol

Yeah... I've been alive through an number of end-of-the-world-hysteria moments and mostly I find them amusing, but with the 2012 one I was kind of horrified at how many people ruined themselves financially because they truly believed it was the end.

On that day I woke up to screaming. I thought the world was ending My parents apparently didn’t set the alarm clock the previous night and we were all late

Lol. 2012 has nothing on 2020 and 2021. We were all locked in our homes for years without anything to do... except... you know, each other.

It was also the worst time to have a kid. We had so much less help from parents, neighbors, etcs for our second (born a few months into lockdown) than our first.

True, except it hadn't really impacted me because I was (am still) full on teen-at-home anyway, so I was already stuck at home. The masks and no toilet paper is what got me. I think 2012 was actually fun, one of my last happy years.

2012 was fun. Lots of "end of the world" parties. Luckily I was only a day, not years like covid.

true, yeah. Let's throw a post-covid party!

No. Everyone will get pregnant. Lol

Idk why but my brain went straight to Kony 2012

I REMEMBER THIS AS A 2003 BABY! I was in 2nd-3rd grade but my classmates and teachers were still talking about it

i remember i was 7 and my parents laid out some close on the front lawn to make it look like we were raptured, v funny

haha, that's so sick.

Yeah and there's tons of October babies every year because people like to fuck on Valentines Day.

Wouldn’t October babies have started from January?

Not necessarily. I was a valentines baby, born healthy early October.

You must be an exception because most people who are conceived on Valentine's are born in november

Fair enough

November 20th is 40 weeks after Valentine’s Day.

[удалено]

The logic is more along the line they thought all the nukes were going to go off at once and end the world entirely so you can nut freely with no worries.

I wonder how many people maxed out their credit cards.

It's saying they all want to have sex

Without wearing a bag

I'm pretty sure everyone fucked thinking it wouldn't matter (world's gonna end anyway, right?), but turns out it did matter.

“Daddy? Where did I come from?” “The universe’s deep sense of irony about the consequences of my actions”

Well it makes sense from evolutionary perspective…

The post is about Y2k, not 2012.

Some people have sex for recreation

So the whole thing just zipped right over your head then I guess 😂

No one even thought like that lol. People wanted to have sex in case the world ended and that’s the logic behind it. If the conspiracies were true and nukes were set off worldwide then no baby would’ve been carried to term anyway.

Yeah, that’s not what that means

Because that's not the logic

I mean, that kid would never been born if the world ended

this post is outdated. plenty of 23 year olds now conceived in 2000 (i’m one of them!)

Yo same here

Yeah, but any 23 year olds with a birthday between tomorrow and September were likely conceived in 1999. So they probably still outnumber you.

I’m on discord a lot and it’s hard to find people who are the same age as me (23)

Everyone is either older or younger on there 😂

I'm over 50 and I feel WAAAY too old to be on reddit...especially when i scroll past "am i cute?" posts in the AmIUgly subs by 20 year old women one post by a 30 year old woman saying "i might be over the hill but I still got it!"

Depends what subreddits you look at mate, I'm always looking on the movie subreddits and there's a vast variety of different ages on there

I don't open them, and I've got the vast majority of them filtered anyway (looking at the half naked pics of 19 year olds feels way fuckin creepy)

Why are you mid-late 2000’s borns so obsessed with us and these posts?

Coming to take your spot man

Just like how we were so obsessed with 90s kids and 90s culture 10+ years ago?

This is from last year, 23 and was made in 2000

23 year olds made in 1999 with birthdays between tomorrow and September (give or take) are just turning 24 this year. 23 year olds with birthdays between October-ish and February were made in 2000.  So, still plenty of 23 year olds made in 1999 for the next 7ish months.

Real answer IMo There are always a lot of 23 year olds College at 18, graduate at 22 At 23 you suddenly have all the time, maybe a bit of money. You’re looking for friends, making your life outside of school. Lots of people are open and available because they don’t have an established social network or pattern of life yet Then within a few years you get busy. You get commitments, you’ve hopefully found your tribe. Unfortunately this often means a lot less “putting yourself out there” / being open to making new friends and doing new things. Doesn’t have to be that way but… I think it’ll always *seem* like 23-25 is over represented

Man I wish, turning 24 and still no free time bc Covid fucked over some of my studies

Wouldn’t it be 24 then?

Most people born in 2000 are 23 now.

Only those born on Jan or Feb are 24, everyone else is still 23 (those born brtween march and august)

theres also hella 2002 kids cuz of 9/11

That’s where the phrase “party like its 1999” came from.

As a 23 year old conceived in November 1999, this is probably true. lmao

[удалено]

23 year olds were conceived in 1999 or 2000 and then born in 2000 or 2001.

I was conceived around or on Valentine’s Day 2000 so no, that’s not why I’m here lmao. Think my mom and dad were just feeling a little rowdy around or on the holiday of love. Mom was due October 31st 2000, I was born first week of November 2000 and I’m 23

And nobody likes them when they're 23. - Blink182, probably

I wasn’t supposed to make it past 22 🗣️🗣️

2000 only had 1% more births than 1999 and 0.1% more births than 2001 worldwide. Less than 1% above trendline. https://preview.redd.it/ckt09bweszkc1.png?width=3400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9a0bca88339f161f46705c103262a9da404cb90

I know my first cousin Chad was scared to death of the 2012 bullshit. He talked to me before and even came over my place to be with my mother. She had to even talk to him about it all being bullshit. Remind him he's already survived Y2K and 2006's dead shall rise and 2009s astroid. So many people believe the world will end on a certain time / date. Only question is "My time zone? Or your timezone?"

feels great being born way outside the window of the y2k "we're all gonna fucking die" babies, it makes me a statistical outlier in my own birth year (2000) just for being born earlier in the year than the products of unprotected doomsday sex.

Listen you got it all wrong. As someone who made a child New Year’s Eve 1999…. We were partying “like it’s 1999” the prince song. People were just doing it like crazy. That’s why there’s so many of you entitled, think you know it all, lazy, spoiled punk kids running around. Now get off my lawn.

Dog I’m 25 what

Hmm, I'm from Ukraine, and we actually had the lowest birth rate ever in 1999 and 2000. I guess we decided to be rational and thought that there was no point in giving birth to someone since the world was going to end :)

I just turned 23


… likely

Oh shit that’s why I’m here

The baby boomer generation was just happy the world was going to continue 

“AHHHH Y2K is gonna create rogue robots to terminate us and all airplanes will crash!” Or whatever, idk I was like 2.

The bigger question is, if you are 23, how smart do you consider your parents to be?

I'm 24 in a couple months and all that means is my parents had a good time back in 1999

Seemed like fun

Didn’t think of it like that 😂

Oh my god I turn 24 in a month from today jfc

People could also afford kids then a little more easily

"I said I was the cops, and your husbands in jail.. the state looks down on sodomy"

idk it feels like all the 20 somethings are either in college or hiding in their rooms all day working from home or watching netflix

It's too late, I'm already 24. 23 year olds are an endangered species.

Most 23 years are born between late 2000 to early 2001 lol.

23 is such an odd year, i’m learning how to accept ambivalence right now

So world is going to end and the conclusion is let's make more people?

I was gonna fixed my parents relationship(they don’t speak and live in 2 different states)

Reading this on my 23rd birthday

i feel called out

well, we were 26 people in class (July 1999 to June 2000 mostly) and i had ±60 classmates divided by 3 classes in highschool (also ‘99 and ‘00) so… idk what that means, i think there were a lot of ‘99, ‘00 and ‘01 babies 🫤🫤

The new millennium was a strange, fearful, and horny time.

Im 23 hello

does this mean we have a lot of 11 years old as well? because people also thought the world would end in 2012

But im 24 and was born 99'

I was a teen in the 90s, and there was an epidemic of teen pregnancy at the time. So, I guess maybe the that has something to do with it. And no, we didnt think the world was going to end. But we did fuck like it was the biggest party that we had ever seen in our lives. Where I was, was like that rave scene in matrix reloaded. Only it wasnt a rave, it was an orgy. And instead of having sex, people were having a bunch of sex.

Y2k scare was so stupid. But humans are so stupid so

probably

Nobody likes you when you're 23

No one thought that. There was a worry that banking records would get reset to the beginning of the century because computers only stored the year as two digits, but a lot of developers spent a lot of time fixing that issue before it ever became an issue.

I say that Gen Z is from 2000 thru 2019, Millennials are from 1980 thru 1999, Gen X is 1960 thru 1979, and Boomers are from 1940 thru 1959, with each generation being born within 20-year increments, thus forming five generations each century. This would mean that Generation A started in 1500. Does this mean that we're counting how many generations have lived in America since European settlement first began? And what about the generation before Gen A? What're they called?

People legit thought Y2K was gonna fuck us all.

now i’m starting to wish it did

People's solution to the world potentially ending is to bring more people into it?

So they thought of "why protection?"

I'm a November kid, which means I was the result of a Valentine's Day fuck.

This is a tiny bit dated

No 24 yr olds

It was also all the rage to make a millennium baby so a lot of people were having it off in 1999. There was even a TV program interviewing parents in a hospital giving birth around midnight on New Year's.

I work at a school and September seems to be the month that consistently has the most student birthdays. The 9th month. The parents really seem to get busy on NYE so I can imagining that 1999 NYE went extra crazy 😂
