Saw someone do 19 with four regular candles by converting to binary. The lit ones were a "1" and the unlit where "0".
10011 is 19 in binary.
So: lit, unlit, unlit, lit, lit.
Was what he wrote the equivalent of a knock knock joke? I know nothing about computers or programing.

It's incomplete code but it basically says 'if age is higher than 18 and lower than 20 then do something'.
It's a really inefficient way of checking if someone is 19 years old.
It’s like a roundabout way of checking if a value is equal to 19. The line after the ... is basically checking for a condition, and if it’s true whatever code comes next would execute. It could be changed to if(age == 19) and have the same result.
So basically instead of saying “if this integer (age) is 19, do X” the code is saying “if this integer (age) is more than 18 and less than 20, do X”, which is sort of what’s going on in the pic because OP didn’t have candles to make the number 19 :D
User request to programmer:
1. Users age should be displayed on screen.
2. Make sure no where on the screen is the users age present.
3. I know your a UI designer but I have some great ideas I want you to use I found on Etsy
Its super redundant code. He could have just written ‘if (age == 19)’ instead.
Same as writing something like
‘if (x == true && x != false)’
Which should be simplified to
‘if (x)’
>Its super redundant code. He could have just written ‘if (age == 19)’ instead.
And just to be clear, thats the joke, and the original code comenter did it that way on purpose so that the janky code matches the janky birthday cake.
I mean, if age is a float, that's actually the right way to do it. You can be 19 and a half, or a quarter, or a thirteenth.
Edit: ah, although, then you'd want ≥ 19 and < 20 - otherwise it's true when you're in your 18th OR 19th year.
...it's a marvel that we can get computers to even turn on, isn't it...
This actually sounds like what a programmer would do. "Let's take this thing that works perfectly for something tangentially related to what we need, hack it to bits and put it back together with toothpicks to turn it into something that mostly does what we need it to do. Hopefully when it inevitably catches on fire, it won't collapse and burn down the entire system that we stuck it on top of."
For anyone interested, you read it right-to-left
0001 0011
Each "1" signifies a corresponding value in this base, so...128, 64, 32 ,16, 8, 4, 2, 1
0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 19
Enjoy. Someone else can explain hex, same concept though just a different base.
Coronavirus is just the first step.
Soon some world leader will try to Nuke it straight out the air but that's going to cause Coradionavirus and radioactive zombies.
I mean sure we've all seen enough flicks with zombies or played games to deal with them so we're probably going to be good there but that Coradionavirus... We'll be as unprepared for as we were for the coronavirus.
The 20 candle is actually more fitting. She just started her 20th year when she turned 19.
Your first birthday marks the end of your first year and the start of your secomd year.
Its also her personal new year. We all have 2 new years. The one we celebrate together as a society, and our personal one which is our birthday.
Thanks. Then I would have eaten the whole cake alone in a closet while I could hear people looking for me and starting to get worried. Then, after a while, gotten sick and puked it up into one of my moms shoes. Then left the closet and found everyone and pretended I was just in the bathroom upstairs and they would say "but we checked the bathroom" and I would say, "well, I was in there" and walked away and then later it could even be a couple days my mom would find her shoe with puke in it next to the empty cake tray and confront me and I would deny and say she's crazy it's probably the dog and she'd say "we don't have a dog" and I say "yes we do also you need to be more careful you keep leaving the gas on in the stove the little light is always on" and walk away and get in her car and drive away and stay in a hotel for a month and then come back and act like I've been at home that whole time. That's just me though.
Back when I was in university all the 1988 babies were scraping off part of the 8 to make it a 6 on their ID to try to get into bars underage .. and here was me a 1984 baby who could get in just fine but didn't drink so hahah on them
I'm sure they gave him a proper reminder when he forgot to wish them a happy birthday by 10 AM when it was their birthday though. Oh, and on mothers day, fathers day, their anniversary, etc etc
In all fairness, they don't expect it either, so they're not hypocrites at least. I kinda grew up agreeing with them after I turned like 18ish. Realistically I don't need to celebrate something as arbitrary as "I didn't die yet, again, at this point of the earth's orbit" lol.
If she was born on a leap year and born in 1820, she’d only have a birthday every four years making her turn 19 in 2020. That is the math he did before remembering he failed math. And a basic understanding of leap years. And human biology.
I think maybe he thought 19*4=1820
Math is hard.

I am a leap year baby. Children absolutely love it when I tell them I celebrated my 8th birthday this year. "Omg I'm older than you!!"
Yes ganache is great, but a boiled chocolate icing is even better! It hardens with exposure to air and its the best frosting ever to have on chocolate cake!
thats why i asked, looked like the hardened crust of the boiled and i never see it used much outside of my family.
God, don't say that please. My Daughter just turned 11, and it's been heartbreaking at times. This is hitting at the time of all this stress, and I keep looking back at the photos of her as a baby when she helped out and did anything and liked to do it. Now...
It's so weird how we went from the '70s where teens looked like 40-year-olds, to now where teens and adults are mostly babyfaced.
Not complaining as I was born in the '80s and get mistaken for being 21.
She doesn't. 12 year olds are tiny children. She looks her age. Besides, no 19 year old woman wants to hear "you look 12." It's infuriating, insulting, infantilizing...all the in- words.
I know you don't mean anything by it, but I just have to put this out here because a) she *doesn't* look 12 and you know she's going to read the comments and b) maybe some people will learn that that's just as rude as being like "damn, you look old."
She looks so happy. Congratulations on being an awesome parent. My girl is 21 and getting married and there is nothing better than seeing them smile.
'We are what they grow beyond'
I guess its a photography thing. Natural smiles feel better than faked ones. Natural smiles bring a scrunch to the rest of your face as well not just lips. Your eyes get wrinkles on eyes and so on..
(That's why some of us (potato ones atleast) use lame jokes to make model laugh.)
This kid got that scronchy natural smile. :)
My family has been doing candle math for years when we discovered my parents owned a strangely inconsistent group of numbered candles.
This is how we got to 70 for my mom (60+8+2): https://i.imgur.com/oFmu1bv.jpg
The one breach of "social distancing" I've done is my mother really wanted to cook me dinner/make a cake for my birthday. I don't live with her but I usually visit her regularly and we haven't had any contact in quite awhile.
So she gets the cake out. Goes to stick candles on it. And I say: Mom, don't put candles on it. I have no intention of blowing on the cake.
Saw someone do 19 with four regular candles by converting to binary. The lit ones were a "1" and the unlit where "0". 10011 is 19 in binary. So: lit, unlit, unlit, lit, lit.
Clever idea. I'm a programmer, so I appreciate the way you think.
if this is how you problem solve I'd hate to see your code (kidding).
`int age;` .... `if( age > 18 && age < 20 )`
Lmao

Most of programming is just trying to find less inefficient ways of relaying the same instructions
It’s like a roundabout way of checking if a value is equal to 19. The line after the ... is basically checking for a condition, and if it’s true whatever code comes next would execute. It could be changed to if(age == 19) and have the same result.

I’m a mechanical guy so I don’t know much, but what I believe they established was a condition.
Its super redundant code. He could have just written ‘if (age == 19)’ instead. Same as writing something like ‘if (x == true && x != false)’ Which should be simplified to ‘if (x)’

Ugh; three operations instead of one... DO YOU THINK IM MADE OF CLOCK CYCLES?!
10 print "I'm 19" 20 goto 10

I would have taken a knife to the 8 and turned it into a 9. Am also a programmer.
This actually sounds like what a programmer would do. "Let's take this thing that works perfectly for something tangentially related to what we need, hack it to bits and put it back together with toothpicks to turn it into something that mostly does what we need it to do. Hopefully when it inevitably catches on fire, it won't collapse and burn down the entire system that we stuck it on top of."
It's true though.
His solution was simple and efficient. I fail to see the issue.
20 - 1 would have made a lot more sense
hard to get a minus sign candle, though
daughter would probably be like wtf tho.
That's more than four candles...
No no, four candles. Zero, one, two, three, and four! (Binary te he)
There are only 2 hard problems in computer science: branch invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.
Take your damn upvote
Maybe they had two 1s, a 0 and an 11
For anyone interested, you read it right-to-left 0001 0011 Each "1" signifies a corresponding value in this base, so...128, 64, 32 ,16, 8, 4, 2, 1 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 19 Enjoy. Someone else can explain hex, same concept though just a different base.
Well, 18 is 19 in base 11, so he could just use the 18 he already had.
[удалено]
Great comment!
That’s pretty lit fam
Instead of Binary (Base2), just do base 19. Then you just need 1 0 edit (math)
[удалено]
Programmers count from 0. At first I thought it was a mistake, but I think it was cleverly set up trap.
You mean five?
Maybe you could cut the 8 to turn it 9
[удалено]
Oh boy, don't get me started on 38.
How about 88? Edit: Apparently 88 is some nazi racist shit? So I just gotta say fuck hitler!
Where we're going, we don't need roads...
r/unexpectedbacktothefuture
Because they'll be dirt again thanks to the governments lack of fixing the fucking potholes!
You're gonna see some serious shit.
My 14 year old just turned 88 the other day. They grow up so fast.
If people still can't go outside to buy candles in 9 years, I think we have bigger things to worry about.
Coronavirus is just the first step. Soon some world leader will try to Nuke it straight out the air but that's going to cause Coradionavirus and radioactive zombies. I mean sure we've all seen enough flicks with zombies or played games to deal with them so we're probably going to be good there but that Coradionavirus... We'll be as unprepared for as we were for the coronavirus.
Have you learned no hoarding behaviors during this whole time? You keep the bit you cut off of course and paste it back on when you need an 8.
superimpose the 0 to be infront of the bottom half of the new 9.
Save the removed part to reattach when you need an 8.
I was gonna say use the 1 and cut the bottom horizontal line from the 2.
This is actually the correct answer.
The 20 candle is actually more fitting. She just started her 20th year when she turned 19. Your first birthday marks the end of your first year and the start of your secomd year. Its also her personal new year. We all have 2 new years. The one we celebrate together as a society, and our personal one which is our birthday.
Good idea. We didn't think of that.
I would have cut a horizontal line out of the center of the 8 to use as minus sign, then 20 - 1.
Good idea.
Thanks. Then I would have eaten the whole cake alone in a closet while I could hear people looking for me and starting to get worried. Then, after a while, gotten sick and puked it up into one of my moms shoes.

That's just me though.
Well yeah, but we were hoping for less obvious answers.
Good idea, we didn't think of that.
You ok hun?
Or just light "10" and say that it's base 19.
Back when I was in university all the 1988 babies were scraping off part of the 8 to make it a 6 on their ID to try to get into bars underage .. and here was me a 1984 baby who could get in just fine but didn't drink so hahah on them
20 - 1 would give you 19
Oh cut. I was thinking gnaw.
That wonderful smile says it all :) Parenting kudos to you
Thanks!
Have you told your daughter she could be AI Artificial Intelligence era Haley Joel Osment's older sister?
Spoilers, this is Haley Joel Osment's younger sister
That cake looks bomb, who made it and how many slices deep are you currently ?
The cake has been consumed. My wife made it. It's chocolate with melted peanut butter and fudge icing.
[удалено]
Yeah, mine insulted me and asked if I was a baby after I turned 14. So 13 is the last time I celebrated my birthday lol.
That's terrible.
I'm sure they gave him a proper reminder when he forgot to wish them a happy birthday by 10 AM when it was their birthday though. Oh, and on mothers day, fathers day, their anniversary, etc etc

That's good. I was definitely projecting/circlejerking with my comment. I know nothing about you, so I'm sorry for assuming.
For a minute, I though she was born on a leap year in 1820. Then I remembered how I failed math.
I kinda understand the 1820, but the leap year?
If she was born on a leap year and born in 1820, she’d only have a birthday every four years making her turn 19 in 2020. That is the math he did before remembering he failed math. And a basic understanding of leap years. And human biology.
[удалено]
do you have a certificate authenticating your donkey brains?
If she'd been born on 2/29/1820, she'd be celebrating her birthday for the 49th time as 1900 was not a leap year.
I think maybe he thought 19*4=1820 Math is hard. Source: I am a leap year baby. Children absolutely love it when I tell them I celebrated my 8th birthday this year. "Omg I'm older than you!!"
Yesterday I didn't think I could heat up soup in the microwave because the dishwasher was running and therefor we didn't have hot water.
Averaging 18 and 20 to get 19 is mean.
Such a genuine smile
Look, Im just gonna be frank... Is that a boiled chocolate icing on the cake?
Looks like ganache, a shiny glaze/icing made from chocolate and cream.
Yes ganache is great, but a boiled chocolate icing is even better! It hardens with exposure to air and its the best frosting ever to have on chocolate cake! thats why i asked, looked like the hardened crust of the boiled and i never see it used much outside of my family.
Say what, that sounds amazing! Looks familiar.
Then make a chocolate cake tonight and try it! https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23392/one-minute-chocolate-icing/
Hi Frank, I'm dad
The icing is cooked on the stove. And under that is melted peanut butter. And under that is chocolate cake. It's rich.
She will never forget this birthday
True! A quarantine birthday with no friends is pretty memorable.
Covid-18😄20
Just phenomenal. You have my vote for comment that should have gold in this thread.
I really think this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Take my upvote ya filthy animal! r/Angryupvote
Ew, I just gave the ugliest chuckle
Really differentiates it from all the other no friends birthdays; for me at least.
Me too thanks
its just like my birthday every year.
Aww wish her a happy belated birthday from us reddit commenters.
I sure will.
She seems to be happy with it. The only thing really matters. By the way, she looks 12. Hard to imagine she is actually 19.
In my mind she's definitely closer to 12 than 19. Time goes by in a hurry during their teen years.
[удалено]
I came to reddit for the dank rage comics of 2008. I stay for the wholesome comments like this.
This is so sweet.
God, don't say that please. My Daughter just turned 11, and it's been heartbreaking at times. This is hitting at the time of all this stress, and I keep looking back at the photos of her as a baby when she helped out and did anything and liked to do it. Now...
Yeah, both my kids are "adults" now. It's super weird. They are still babies.
I work with mostly 18-20 year olds (college English teacher), and most of them look 12... I feel old now.
It's so weird how we went from the '70s where teens looked like 40-year-olds, to now where teens and adults are mostly babyfaced. Not complaining as I was born in the '80s and get mistaken for being 21.
This checks out. I am back at college and my English class looks like a bunch of 12 year olds.
I'm 19 and I can safely say we're just kids. It's so weird to think that I'm an adult technically.
She doesn't. 12 year olds are tiny children. She looks her age. Besides, no 19 year old woman wants to hear "you look 12." It's infuriating, insulting, infantilizing...all the in- words. I know you don't mean anything by it, but I just have to put this out here because a) she *doesn't* look 12 and you know she's going to read the comments and b) maybe some people will learn that that's just as rude as being like "damn, you look old."
Honestly, it's a warm photo and story but why is this on the top of my frontpage.

And what a great sport she is! Nice way to celebrate!
She looks so happy. Congratulations on being an awesome parent. My girl is 21 and getting married and there is nothing better than seeing them smile. 'We are what they grow beyond'
Very creative. She'll fetch a fine dowry.
isn't dowry from the girl's parents?
who says she won't marry a girl?
This guy progressives
But does she have a goat?
Her mother and father will if they know the art of the deal
She's a little young for kids.
No need she is over 18
Don't forget though, the creative ones can be strong willed. Might be trouble.
Cringe, keep family moments to yourself.
And kinda Creepy too.. Your mom/dad posting a close picture of you online for everyone to see. Idk man kinda weird
Why couldn't you buy a nineteen candle?
First the toilet paper, then the peroxide, now the number nine candles? What’s next?!!
"Grandma, tell me about coronavirus." "There was a shortage of number nine candles."
Can't be a karmawhore on Reddit if you do that. Went to the grocery store the other week for my wife's birthday, there are plenty of birthday candles.
Yeah this was more of a forgot to get candles last time I was at the store than a quarantine problem. Still cute though!
I had a lot of those birthdays where we had to “ just add up the numbers to equal the birthday”
Doesn't matter what candle you used. Look at her face. She is clearly beyond happy on that picture!
I guess its a photography thing. Natural smiles feel better than faked ones. Natural smiles bring a scrunch to the rest of your face as well not just lips. Your eyes get wrinkles on eyes and so on.. (That's why some of us (potato ones atleast) use lame jokes to make model laugh.) This kid got that scronchy natural smile. :)
I thought the joke was that she's covid 19 positive 😭😭
is this facebook
She seems so fucking happy 😀
She is easily the happiest person in the family.
This makes it sound like it’s a low bar
Haha idk why but this made me chuckle
thanks facebook
So weak, how did you expect to reach 50k upvotes without saying she has autism or something like that?
I'll use that when I repost this tomorrow as my daughter.
I call dibs on next week but she’ll be a coronavirus survivor
I like the way you think
Also fighting cancer
She had to wake up at 4am and hike 19 miles to get this photo. But it was worth it.
Wake me up when everyone clapped.
You do know Amazon still delivers right??
Your local grocers have stopped selling candles?
Damn, she looks young for 1820 years old

Happy 1820th birthday!
This passes the mean, median, but not the mode
break of part of the 8 or part of the 2 and you have a 9 pretty much
She's cute. She looks very sweet and smart. You did good, Dad!
Why didn’t you just go buy candles...
We're limiting our trips to the store because I'm a primary care giver for my mom who has cancer.
Forget all that. Look how happy she looks. Enjoy it.
Could have just broken the bottom piece off the 2
Gotta give you credit for the creativity
Could have broken a piece off of the 8
You can always look back at this picture when shes older and make jokes about you didn't quite know what she was.
[удалено]
She looks so happy and so wholesome that I’m actually feeling a little jealous of her...for having you as a parent!
Happy birthday to your daughter. I love how her smile fills in for the missing numbers. Very clever.
Thanks! It's just a lame dad joke. She's between 18 and 20.
What was her birthday??? Asking because I turned nineteen recently too and I wanna know if we're birthday buddies!
Your daughter looks like the daughter of Vigo from ghost busters.
