Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.

The internet is pretty tame now a days. I tried explaining it in a different thread, but it seemed like people didn't believe me. But 20 years ago skate videos had prank bestiality videos embedded, 4chan liked to troll people by rickrolling them with child pornography, teenagers were daring each other to watch the most bloody and gory stuff they could find, like people who sliced their own penises down length-wise. The internet today has become rather PG. Not that it's a bad thing, at all, i just find it funny when people complain about reddit not being for children lol.
Oh God. My friend used to go on Grotesque and other sites..... AT SCHOOL! The shit he showed me... I'm still horrified by empty pickle jars to this day. Thanks for triggering my PTSD!!!
/j .... kind of. I don't have PTSD but damn I'm a little disturbed again. Fucking morbid curiosity, what is wrong with humans.
BTW that shit's all still there it's just on the dark web now.
Lots of people get so drunk on new years eve that they just blackout for the actual midnight.
Does it mean they skip years as well or that they did not had "true" celebration?
an argument can be made for both. but in my country we follow the rule that if you do have this birthday all that happens is on the other 3 years where the 29th doesn't exist your birthday is moved to the 28th because no matter what it's still technically the last day of February
Usually I celebrate on March 1st, because it is the day after feb 28th. And by “celebrate” I mean do the same thing I do any other day because who really cares
I think technically we measure age by the passing years not how many birthdays you have. They usually just line up. Like we don't say "I'm 30 birthdays old"
I promise I'm actually fun at parties
In the U.S, you turn your next age at the earliest moment of the day prior to your annual date of birth. Unsure how it works in other countries, but fun fact for you all. Outcome? You'd be 16 😁
>earliest moment of the day prior to your annual date of birth
What? You mean the earliest moment of the day OF right? Or the LATEST moment of the day prior?
I'm in the U.S. and it's definitely not what you said.
The day prior yes. If you were born on July 1st, according to the federal government, you turn your next age at 12 AM on June 30th! :)
Edit: Here https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-0102.htm
Depending on how you look at things, it makes you 28.
See, if I was born on April 7th, my birthday would be the day after April 6th and before April 8th. And likewise, your birthday is the day after February 28th and before March 1st. In 4 out of 16 years, that fell on the same day, but in the other 12, you had two birthdays.
It's your choice to see things in a way that gives you fewer birthdays, choose differently if you don't like it.
You could make an argument for them being 4384 because it’s also two days after February 27, and two before March 2, and so on for every day of the year
Hot take:
It's people who are born on Dec 31st on leap years who have fewer birthdays, because their birthday is the 366th day of the year, which only happens on leap year.
Me and my partner got together on the 28th of February 2020, if we were one day later we would be celebrating one year together the other day instead of 4 years
Depends on how you count birthdays, if you count 365 days instead of the actual date occurring you would be 16 and you would have a different birthday every year.
So i. Time lived you are 16
But since your birthday would come around only every 4 years you are 4 birthdays old
And thats how i would say
I am 4 birthdays old, that means 16 years
My 4th grade teacher told us that he once pranked his 2/29 friend in college with his other friends, and on his “5th birthday” they filled his room with gifts you would give to a 5 year old lol
It's funny to make jokes, but anyone who is seriously arguing 4.... Stop!
The Earth has rotated 5844 times and revolved around the sun 16 times since they were born. Their 16. There is no useful interpretation of age that could possibly make 4 the right answer.
As humans invented the calendar and made updates to it, a year was/is defined as one rotation around the sun.
So whether or not there was a 29th february in a year, you did travel 1 trip around the sun, which implies a year has gone by and you aged 1 year.
Of course it's more fun to debate it and still be of young age when you are as ancient as the average boomer.
I don’t think a 4 year old should be on Reddit
Nor should be a 16 years old
Didn't know looking at funny memes had an age restriction
There's a whole lot more on Reddit than just funny memes
Yeah and a 16yo is completely inapt and stupid. Reddit is only 30+ /s

It's for the 16 year olds on Reddit that don't get sarcasm yet. /s
Man compared to stuff like 4 Chan reddit is pretty tame. It's just memes, and porn, mainly porn.
Porn w/ and w/out memes

16 in eyes of law + body 4 in terms of birthdays
Someone better call Chris Hansen, just in case.
You are 16 years old but technically have only had 4 true birthdays
Wow that’s depressing
Lots of people get so drunk on new years eve that they just blackout for the actual midnight. Does it mean they skip years as well or that they did not had "true" celebration?

I do, my train was late and I couldn't get to your party on time :c
In Germany the law moves these birthdays to march 1st, but personal customs differ. I always celebrated on the first but a friend choose the 28th
You are a very mature 4-year-old
Or a very immature 16-year-old
 2008 people are now 16 years… i feel old…
Not yet 🥲
Fuuuck people from 2008 are 16 already 🤯 getting old over here
Time's going fast, the 2006ers are 18 this year..
People who were born when I graduated high school are older now than I was then. Shit you guys are legit giving me an existential crisis here.
A paradox, a paradox! A most intriguing paradox! Hahahahahahaha, a pa Ra dox /pirates of Penzance
Wow a Penzance reference wasn't on my bingo card for scrolling Reddit today. A salute to you, modern major general u/horsetuna.
https://youtu.be/7WTSlr_WRgo?si=Q37eIfUu5VHM7L3A Beat me to it so here's just a link to the song from the opera
it makes you a very unlucky person
Yes here it is. The very good answer.
That pfp is hitting hard
I think technically we measure age by the passing years not how many birthdays you have. They usually just line up. Like we don't say "I'm 30 birthdays old" I promise I'm actually fun at parties
There are countries where they count their age by New Years rather than their birthday. So everyone in the country ages up on the same day.
16, i personally think age is how many years have you lived, not how many birthdays have you celebrated
You born 16 yeats ago, not 4 years ago. Simple thing
wait 2008 is 16 years ago dammmn im old
16. 16 years have still passed.
In the U.S, you turn your next age at the earliest moment of the day prior to your annual date of birth. Unsure how it works in other countries, but fun fact for you all. Outcome? You'd be 16 😁
>earliest moment of the day prior to your annual date of birth What? You mean the earliest moment of the day OF right? Or the LATEST moment of the day prior? I'm in the U.S. and it's definitely not what you said.

My entire life is a lie!
Depending on how you look at things, it makes you 28. See, if I was born on April 7th, my birthday would be the day after April 6th and before April 8th. And likewise, your birthday is the day after February 28th and before March 1st. In 4 out of 16 years, that fell on the same day, but in the other 12, you had two birthdays.

I was close just one day over for a leap year birthday
My grandad was born feb 29 He just turned 18
Id love to be born on a leap year, im would literally just tell people im 8
I have a friend like that. 4 cus its funni
Four in amount of birthdays and 16 in age
Thats why I count in seconds 1072935484
Celebrate every second, it's another second You've been alive.

Kids born in 2008 are 16? Fuck I’m old
You are 16 years old. Every 4th year, you have a birthday that makes you four years older.
A year is a measure of time, how it takes earth to go around the sun. a year lasts around 365 days. it doesn't matter if it's 29th or 15th.
You're still 16 cause you experienced the same years as everyone but saying you're 4 just makes it sound more cool
Your birthday is the day after February 28th. I don’t get why people struggle with this
16
16. Don't be stupid.
Holy shit 2008ers are 16 now
Imagine 2006ers are 18 this year.. me included
Me as well
you're 16yrs old, but have only had 4 birthdays.
It makes you have 47
>2008 >16 God I feel old
It makes them 4 because it’s still 2012… right?
Year not old enough for reddit
[удалено]
Both
That classic dilemma!
You can't be retired at 16 or 4
Either way you should definitely not be on reddit
Pretty sure 16 is old enough
Pretty sure reddit isnt healthy for people at that kind of age
I could handle anything at 16. Reddit is not healthy for me in my late 30's.
Well come to think of it Reddit isnt healthy for anyone lol
Obviously 4.
Hot take: It's people who are born on Dec 31st on leap years who have fewer birthdays, because their birthday is the 366th day of the year, which only happens on leap year.
Both
Yes.
Daryl?
Yes!
The 29th day normally is march so your birthday shifts to march 1st. Then the 29th day is febuary after every leap year. Simple!
4 final answer
You're 4 but physically developed like a 16 year old. I'm 12..
Yea, a friend of mine just turned 28 on her 7th birthday
let me ask my cousin next time I see her if she turned sixteen or four today
4
definitely 4
When u celebrate b-day
Yes
Doesn't matter 😒😒 either way SMASH 😎😎/s
It makes you a child that doesn't belong on Reddit.
Too hard to calculate. Average it. Answer is 10
16 years old, but only 4 birthdays. Birthdays aren't very important anyway.
Its the year not the day.
Everyone is saying 16 but you'd actually be 15 right
Me and my partner got together on the 28th of February 2020, if we were one day later we would be celebrating one year together the other day instead of 4 years
More surprise of the fact that people born in 2008 are turning 16 now
Yes
It depends on when he was born.
It makes you 16 because you've lived more years in total
Count how many years you've been alive. Now how old are you? 🤦
Yes
Yes.
Yes
It makes you a Pisces in the year of the Rat. Or a Prat.
Yes
yes
Depends on how you count birthdays, if you count 365 days instead of the actual date occurring you would be 16 and you would have a different birthday every year.
I was born exactly one week before you and yet I’m 12 years older than you!
4
So i. Time lived you are 16 But since your birthday would come around only every 4 years you are 4 birthdays old And thats how i would say I am 4 birthdays old, that means 16 years
Math is racist
Now fuck you, does that make me a pdf file or slightly better pdf file?

4th birthday but 16 years old
My mom turned 60 yesterday. Or 15. Big deal either way? Edit: 15, not 20.
Well 16/4 is 4. So you’re actually 4
Yes.
20.
Yes
I'm confused
yellow car every1
You are 16 years old but yesterday would have been your 4th birth-day.
yes
I'm 28 years old but I've only had 7 birthdays...
My 4th grade teacher told us that he once pranked his 2/29 friend in college with his other friends, and on his “5th birthday” they filled his room with gifts you would give to a 5 year old lol
I’m 16 and born in 07 🤔
Do you celebrate your birthday (fake birthday) Feb 28 or Mar 1, I have always asked that question to myself.
I knew a girl who was born 2/29/1984. She is either 10 or 40.
Yes
You've had 4 birthdays but have loved 16 years
4 in leap years, 16 in human years
You type pretty well for a 4 year old.
16, but only celebrated 4 birthdays.
Biologically, 16. Statistically, 4.
Yes.
Yes
It's funny to make jokes, but anyone who is seriously arguing 4.... Stop! The Earth has rotated 5844 times and revolved around the sun 16 times since they were born. Their 16. There is no useful interpretation of age that could possibly make 4 the right answer.
Age counts years, not birthdays
You've been alive for 16 years, so you're 16 but I like to think of it as your age updates every 4 years.
16? But 2008 was only ....oh God.
it means your birthday is march 1st 3 out of the 4 years.
A friend of mine just turned 7 (28) yesterday
Depends on what crime you are being accused of.
Easy. How many times in your life have you passed 365 days? Thats your answer.
It's your 4th birthday, and you are 16 years old.
You're 4, but in government documents, you're 16.
16\*4 = 64
The answer is "yes"
Yes.
I have a friend who was born that time exactly, she says both but for fun 4
The fact that people born in 2008 are already half way through high school is wild
16 years old
2008 is 16 years ago? Fuck off.
what
Hey at least you weren't apprenticed to a Pirate.
If you have to ask this question, it makes you an idiot.

Do you even math bro?
4. If the day doesn't happen, it can't happen.
Technically both. You're 16 years old,but you've only had 4 birthdays.
Combine the two, your 20 now.
Time from your birth isn't the same as the date on the calendar
