A friend of ours was approaching her 40th birthday. But she only admitted to having a "round" birthday, and even forbade her kids to talk about mommys age, even though we made a big production to learn her age with trick questions and all. And then we told her that if she keeps mum about her age, we'll just guesstimate it.

That's how she got sent loads of cards for her 50th birthday. She was a bit pissed when we arrived for the party. And then we handed her the real cards for her 40th.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

That just sounds dumb on her part

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Migrants from war torn countries unfortunately. In some communities there's a lot of people with birthdays on Jan 1st, because they don't know their birthdates. Quite common for Sudanese refugees (places with child soldiers or where family/parent based killing happened).

It's tough out there in the world.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

People still don't record accurate birthdays here. A registrar goes to a village once every 3-4 months and all the kids born within the previous few months get the same birthday (if registered at all).

And this is a new thing. People older than that from villages have no clue how old they are. Just guess stuff.

Happy [object Object] birthday!

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I only throw parties for a NaN anniversary

Having a 0 as the condition for a ternary operator seems redundant.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Mb it's a regex trying to match 4 or 04. Idk why make age a string, tho.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Some people don't know their real birthday but still celebrate on a day of their choosing. I know an orphaned dreamer who does that.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's extra-insulting, because they paid more for a ? candle rather than just asking you.

[–] zoostation@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think they're implying that it can be rude to broadcast someone's age, since some people like to be private about it.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They you just put 25 and call it good.

Yay you are unicode encoding error years old!

10/10 title

[–] dan@upvote.au 6 points 2 months ago

Maybe it's for asking questions, like "420?"

[–] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Can I have an interrobang candle?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is for when your wife/girlfriend turns 40, you use 4? Instead so it looks better.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But that could imply anything upto 49. Better do ?0

[–] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago
[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Or it implies that she’s 4.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 2 months ago

I can think of one vampire that definitely still counts.

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

There comes an age where you stop counting. That's when people start referring to age by "born in year" and not as a number. Never understood my parents why they did that when I was a kid or teenager. I do it myself now, think it started with 35 or so. Hope I'm not a vampire....

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

It's for the cake you bake for your third date.

Spoiler69?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I know a couple people who've been ? years old ever since they turned 30.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

I might have turned to vampire at around 21

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

When you have A joint party with a 2 and a 20 something year old you can break out the regex:

27?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What is meme zar?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

My grandmother often gave us birthday cards with the age we had before. At some point she switched to generic cards with a number on it but a question mark would have done too

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I've been 20 years old for a decade, my mother said it's over this year, might switch to that

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

The "?" candle is obviously for a gender reveal party.

Fight me!

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

Women have "??" Birthday after what, 25?
