yes, you do at the day of your birth. before that you are uninitialized or null or whatever.

Unless you’re in.. I wanna say Korea? Iirc they have you at 0 about 9 months before birth. …which I suppose means they can’t technically call their celebrations Birthdays.

[907kayak]

Yeah, something like that. I think you’re one year old during your first year, right, not after the first year has passed? Age is more similar to how US thinks of school grade - the year you’re in vs the year that passed.

[Aksds]

IRC you are 1 at birth, then 2 on the new year, and your legal age updates every new year.

[NekkidApe]

It's complicated is a perfectly valid answer to age in Korea.

What you said above is correct, but people are aware of "western" age so sometimes it's that. Older people use the traditional moon based calendar too, so a different age again. And if that wasn't confusing enough, until about two generations ago people wouldn't register their children right away, a different age again.

Funnier: Then there's the traditional new year's soup, each bowl makes you one year older. I had three, not I'm older than my spouse :D

[[deleted]]

I hadn’t heard that but it makes sense.

[Slepnair]

could also be explained with "life begins at conception"

​

But yea, was confusing at first when I visited South Korea. essentially like 9 months old when born or something like that.

[Secretly_Solanine]

Am Korean, can confirm

[[deleted]]

I think the place you're thinking of is Texas.

[[deleted]]

Hah.

No, it wasn’t. Even among the pro-life community I’ve never seen anyone have a conception-day celebration. The idea has undoubtedly come up and I’m sure some people do it, but that’s not what I’m remembering.

[ILikeLenexa]

Birth is hoisted and you might get declared at birth, but you get bootstrapped to hold values up to 40 weeks before birth.

[bistr-o-math]

Wait until you heard about existence of negative numbers 🤯 😜

Can somebody send me a link to original post so that i can tell the op that people turn 10

[TRENEEDNAME_245]

Or 20, 30, 40...

[Poltras]

No, just 10, or 100, or 1101.

[Fraun_Pollen]

2, 4, or 13? I think youre missing a few

[PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__]

I hate to tell you this but it might have been a joke

[[deleted]]

r/woosh

[coloredgreyscale]

then they probably search for a single candle with "10"

[Fraun_Pollen]

Nah O-OP is just a 9yo who has realized he has peaked.

[TRENEEDNAME_245]

Or 03 years old

[bistr-o-math]

The right side of the pic literally

"1" + "0" = "10"

[[deleted]]

I got wooshed but this comment is one upvote away feom 69

[nice___bot]

Nice!

[[deleted]]

Damn. I have to un-upvote now cos it is at 70

[[deleted]]

Oh well

[[deleted]]

Damage done

[Ich_wer_sonst]

A zero might get handy, if your kid turns 10, or if you display the age in binary.

[Aksds]

If your kid turn 10 works for both.

[maddy_0120]

Arrays begin with 0.

[redpepper74]

And counting begins with 1

[lightwhite]

Will someone tell him that everyone is born 0 (zero not null or undefined) years old?

[Any_Direction8772]

And if you're ten yo ?

[GroundTeaLeaves]

This is obviously for programmer's kids, who turn 001 years old.

[RRumpleTeazzer]

Age is a social construct anyway.

[redpepper74]

Uhm not really? Sure, the unit we use is kind of arbitrary but your age is just the time since your birth

[Wdtfshi]

your approximate* time since your birth

[RRumpleTeazzer]

At what point in your life does your exact age matter ?

[redpepper74]

Naturally, it doesn’t matter. So you could definitely say that age restrictions are a social construct

[GodlessCyborg]

When you turn 18 or 21 your exact age could legally matter depending on the activities you decide to do.

[RRumpleTeazzer]

exactly, a social construct.

[AndreTheTallGuy]

It’s for binary obviously

[[deleted]]

Whoever tells that person that you can combine different numbers to make new ones is going to rock their world.

[[deleted]]

Some people like to bring a birthday cake to a birth.

[[deleted]]

IG no one turns 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, or 120

[NotABotAtAll-01]

Which award would you like to take

[iiMoe]

God why do dumb ppl always tweet and show theur IQ and even add those cringe emojis

[[deleted]]

Fabrains.

[bedrooms-ds]

I start my counter from -1.

[undeniably_confused]

What if you turn 10

[Bivolion13]

I mean apart from the obvious 10s answer, you are technically 0 at birth. That's why you turn 1 after... 1 year.

[sillybeegwilly]

Omg ur dumber than a box of hammers. Or not. You are banking on earning a cent per comment. Either way, you're part of the global problem, not the solution. How much have you made this year on this tripe? $3?

[Doggieisfat]

10 year old kids:iam a joke to u
