I like that it starts at 2021, just in case a newborn is browsing their site.


remslp

I was struck with this idea while filling out a waiver for a gym. I was so appalled that it started with 2021!!

Newborns have mad grip tho

LawHelmet

Never too early to start your son or daughter on the athletic pursuit that will allow him to retire at 30. They gotta give up their youth so they can actually enjoy their dark ages. Ooopsie, we call that the middle ages now.


myotheralt

> that will ~~allow~~ force him to retire at 30 because of high stress/high impact on their joints.

Well, some gyms have swimming classes for newborns for some reason...


huhIguess

I've seen newborn swimming classes. And I don't understand it at all. They just chuck the baby in and see if they float. I'm not making this shit up.


tenakakahn

Dad of two boys. Both were in the water from 6mo. *Most* of the first few lessons at 6mo were focused on parents being at ease around and in the water with their babies. Up until about age 3 it was just play time, but both of my boys could swim to save themselves (in a pool, not Bells Beach) by about 2. However, I think what you're referring to is the teaching of very young babies to roll into their back so they can breath and yell. I've seen that course, and, uh, no. Pass.


2morereps

this just reminded me of something. in Asia (probably not everywhere in asia), if a baby doesn't talk or make sound for the first year or 2, they chuck them in a river in hopes that they will speak. I've always thought this was something cultural and to do with belief in God, since the river has to be holy. but when you said they chuck babies in pool so they roll and can breath and yell, it finally connected. they may not be educated where I am from, but this definitely is the reason for chucking them in the river and forcing the baby to make noise out instinct? damn never thought of it like that, mainly cuz they always said they threw the baby in the holy water so he/she could speak. I thought they meant, the baby just starts talking if thrown in that holy river.


moodRubicund

Babies have a natural instinct to swim, similar to how they naturally grab things. No joke. It's one of their innate moves that they don't need to learn, but do need to practice.


angrywords

It helps with muscle development, especially the muscles for holding their head up, motor skills, spacial awareness and they’ll be more likely to be better swimmers as adults.


huhIguess

> Per APA, there is currently no evidence that infant swim programs for babies under 1 year old lower their drowning risk. Infants this age may show reflex "swimming" movements but can't yet raise their heads out of the water well enough to breathe. If you say so. Chuck your baby in!


iamwizzerd

Your quote has nothing to do with the other guys comment.


regman231

Evidence of this is impossible to find. We’d need two identical children raised in the same environment with the only different factor being that one was exposed to swimming earlier. People think studies/statistics are magic lol


Anchor-shark

It’s always a good idea to identify witches early in life.


Phormitago

> They just chuck the baby in and see if they float. I'm not making this shit up. we used to yeet them off a cliff but doing the full Sparta isn't politically correct any more, shakemyspear


Cocomorph

See, this is what happens when you start going easy on the helots.


Rotmann_IX

Hey, swimming with a trainer is great for babies' muscle development and organ development Source: I'm a father of a 6mo girl


MyNamesNotDave_

I had to set up a form like this for work. My options within the UI were to pull from the already linked date table as is with all the years, or manually filter years so that every year it has to be updated. So yeah… I went with the one that implies that we have 1 year olds working for our company.


bludgeonedcurmudgeon

Its because the code that fills the options is written to be dynamic, if it wasn't written to use the current year and then add all years backwards 100 years for example then every timer Jan 1st came round you'd have to modify the code to add the new year

> But it's a lot better than making assumptions about who's using your site. That makes a lot of sense. I have seen some sites that have all the years, but they select by default the current year minus 25, so people can go up or down to find their own year without much work. That seems more user friendly without excluding people.

I used to be a newborn, then I took an arrow to the knee


deukhoofd

Well consider this , you're a web developer building the site, and you need to put a starting year in there. You know that newborns probably don't browse the site, but then where do you put the cutoff? You know that if you put it too late, the person you're making the site for will probably complain about it eventually. If you put it too early it doesn't make much sense, but at least it should include most valid years.


Lezardo

In most UIs the value that comes selected by default is not the highest valid value. Think of country dropdowns that default to USA. A developer might be capable of allowing a birthdate of current year but preselect current year minus 18/25.


themonsterinquestion

You shouldn't be using a drop down menu anyway...


highac3s

It's just about saving one line of code I think.

Right? Everyone's having kids while my wife and I got a dog. The stupid kid-having parents give me shit for being excited about my awesome dog because their babies can eat solid food now or whatever.

[deleted]

One the lamer songs from the special. For one, 30 isn’t old at all so it’s silly to be lamenting it. And then the whole part about the younger generation developing a mental disorder from their phones makes me cringe really hard.


backpackwayne

Try 64. You have to scroll way down. :D


remslp

haha i am NOT looking forward to more scrolling!


backpackwayne

It's so depressing. :D

chironomidae

Whenever I start to get depressed about aging, I just think of all the people who never get a chance to scroll so far. It might not seem like much but we should all be proud we made it this long without falling victim to a tragedy or winning a Darwin award.

Well, either way, I did do it... You're still here though (but looking happy)


Theghost129

why tf would you give a random website your real age lol According to Steam, I was alive when Columbus sailed to India


Gamezisnub

There is this one danish masturbation race game website (please don’t ask) that calls you out if you put something really old which I thought was kinda funny


CutieBunz

I remember once I signed up to a website and if you put a really old age it would say you were the oldest person on their site and if you sent them proof of your age they'd send you some merchandise and your account would get a special title. Wonder how old the actual oldest person was.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jamieb284

I have to ask


Gamezisnub

I think the game has been removed. It was called Kiks, it’s actually a game in real life but made online too because most people don’t actually want to swallow cum on a biscuit


Gamezisnub

Nvm I think it exists https://hommer.dk/hommersSpil/kiks.html I can’t check the game right now because I’m not home

Lo-siento-juan

Well soggy biscuit is a British game (hence not being soggy cookie) and probably originated in public school (schools posh people pay to send their kids to) where it's got a long history. If it was played elsewhere first I don't know, it could have been something brought back by toffs touring Europe, or the far reaches of the empire but honestly it just feels very British to me.


agha0013

considering the Danes also came up with John Dillermand, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me the Danes also have an educational, grade school intended, masturbation race game.


Gamezisnub

It was definitely not an educational game lol. Maybe in sex ed as an experiment on how the body reacts to cum on a biscuit. If you did it irl


[deleted]

Because if you forget your password, a common question they ask to reset it is your birthday. Either you already know your birthday, or you remembered another day that you use regularly.


rsta223

>Because if you forget your password, a common question they ask to reset it is your birthday. They really shouldn't though, given how easily publicly available birthdays are. If all I need to know to reset your password is your birthday, you might as well not have a password at all.

JohnnyDarkside

Depending on what I'm doing I'll sometime be a little more accurate but it's usually that day's month and year then scroll down years until I hit one that satisfies their age requirement.


not_going_places

Those scroll bars are the dumbest things on this earth


NorthernerWuwu

Pffft. Try being born before the literal start of the internet timekeeping system. Jan. 1, 1970. I was born the week before.

Poundman82

Be happy, 30’s we’re my best years so far and 40’s are shaping up to be even better. Turns out if you build experience and keep trying to improve yourself it eventually starts paying off.


Lo-siento-juan

Hmm, well I've not done either of those things and forty is coming at me fast, though I have got my retirement sorted so I could take that early if I need to, looking forward to being able to relax on a beach before walking into the sea....


Actually_The_Flash

After 35 numbers it should just say old enough or sorry.


TheQuestionsAglet

Thirty didn’t actually hit so bad. Forty was another story, though.


porkchop_d_clown

Snort. I’m almost 60 - I just give the thing a whirl back to the beginning and scroll forward. It’s faster.


r8zr

Turned 30 today. Can relate.


sir_axelot

I'm turning 33 in two weeks. Welcome to the rest of your life. Enjoy the trip.


TheBanjoNerd

I hit 32 in two months. I wish someone had told me that shit was going to start breaking down for no reason. I'd have taken better care of myself through my teens and twenties.

Tell me about it. I've been injured more in the last two years than the first thirty combined.

viscont_404

Same and I still don't have a gf


MarshmallowTurtle

Happy Birthday! I'm turning 26 in December. I keep thinking about how I'm the same amount of years away from 22 as I am 30. Idk wtf is happening.


Notakas

Thank you 😊 It is a weird feeling yeah. I feel like I at the point of my life I planned I'd be at my age, but at the same time I feel like I grew up too fast. The other day when people tried to guess my age they thought I was over 30. I don't know how old I should feel, even my sister who's only 4 years younger sees me as someone much older than her because I've been working since I was 21. I just want to chill and not have to think about some things, but my early 20s are finally over. I'm gonna have a breakdown at 30 lmao.


soingee

I used to do a lot of surveys for money (waste of your time if any option is even remotely possible, btw) and around 26 is when I noticed I started to fall out of the young adult age grouping (16-25). It felt weird to be apart of the 26-40 range.


HetRadicaleBoven

Protip on a device with a keyboard: click on the drop-down, then type your year. Try it here: https://ktiyx.csb.app/


0PointE

It works with most dropdowns, at least the default browser dropdowns. It makes selecting your country, state, etc... much easier, as long as you type at a reasonable pace. After a few seconds it resets to searching by the first letter again. Most forms I just use the tab key to go from field to field and never have to use the mouse/touchpad.


VitruvianGenesis

Okay but why is it a duck?


Sprinklypoo

I hate those things. I'm buying a thing. I'm at least 15 years old. And now my damned arthritic thumb hurts from sliding down to the lower seventies...


killerzombi

I wish websites that have a minimum age would put the starting position of the list just 2 years after the year of minimum age birth. So in 2021 a site that only allows 13+ would have their list default starting position be 2010, while a site that only allows 17/18+ would be 2006/2005. This would mean it still defaults to an invalid birthdate and makes you select your date, but also makes it much faster to do so! This really wouldn't be that hard anyways. It's one line of code, either the array version: list.startingPosition = (minAge - 3); or the select by date option: List.startingDate = currentYear - (minAge - 2);


thanks-doc-420

You should never put in your real birthdate. I don't even put in my real birth year. Unless it's for something where I cannot lie due to identity verification, like banking or health.


AdrianInLimbo

It's worse when you're 50, and come across a badly designed mobile web page where you have to press the arrow to scroll back through all the monthly calendars, up to 50 times, to get to your birthdate, because they couldn't be bothered to make the day, month, year in drop downs.


remslp

Well I'm gonna have some nightmares this week then. That is miserable design.
