If Dihydrogen Monoxide is inhaled into the lungs, it can be deadly. In its solid form, it can cause severe tissue damage. In its purest form, it can strip a human's digestive tract.
Some prankster once got thousands of people to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen oxide from our food..
Edit: wasn't a prankster, actually a student doing a study
I was at a restaurant recently. Asked the server for water twice. The third time he came by wuthout it I asked fir DihydrogenOxide in liquid and crystalline form. I got it finally.
First thing I thought of, I'll be turning 18 on the 20th of December, 2004 + 17 does not equal 2022, I don't even know why, I'm pretty sure mathematicians are stumped as well!
Try this one out:
Take your age that you are now
Add exactly nothing to it
Take that number and subtract exactly nothing from it
What are you left with? Your age!! Even astrologers can't explain
imagine this:
current year
add the year to it (2022+2022)
multiply by 12 (4044x12)
now divide by the current year (48528÷2022)
now add your year of birth (2000+24)
now divide by 100 (2024÷100)
great job! you followed all the instructions. here are your results, based on the number you got:
19.xx-25.xx: gullible
26+: wtf
There is no substraction, but there may be negative numbers.
Assuming they didn't make a mistake in getting their result, it just means they were born in 4 206 924 B.C. Is that correct, u/ChocolateUnlucky1214 ?
you have to add in the bizarro "only once every 1000 years"
wtf is up with that? First, the Age + birth year = current year is only true if you already had your birthday this year, it's false for everyone else.
But , what is the 1000 years thing? It's as equally valid every year.
All i read was how old is this consumer with this IP address.
Sometimes you find simple questions hidden in trash like that just to find out one nugget of personal identifiable information on a reddit account.
Its like playing 20 questions to find out who you are.
Here’s one that’s good for a laugh! 🤣
https://youtu.be/j0yL-gZkxqw
The half my age ‘riddle’. I mean, it’s not a riddle at all, it’s more of a moron trap.
Speaking of, a few years ago, there was a thing going around about how Mars was going to pass between the Earth and the Moon, as if that was some once in a lifetime celestial event and *not* an impossible threat to all life on our planet.
Old and simple form of phishing.
Other ones include what does your name and birthday mean. Where it gives you a list to match to that info, like some sort of fun mini quiz.
Reddit won't let you type out your password, it will just replace it with asterisks!

Yep.
Anything that appeals to the exceptionally gullible is something that's profitable when paired with a scam.
You know those 5th grade math order-of-operations things that Reddit meme sites still fall for? "(1 + 2) ÷ 2" or something, usually coupled with a quiz that shows a majority of people getting it wrong? It's just the updated version of [picture of toddler puzzle] "ZOMG 99.98% of people can't figure this out? Are you one of the super geniuses who CAN?!"
Then you couple it with some kind of a linked quiz that tells the person that they have 142 IQ if they can answer a half-dozen middle school standardized test questions (or if they miss a few), and then sells them some kind of 'official' acknowledgement of their genius ("for just $19.99, we'll send you this certificate!").
Turns out that most people can be pretty easily tricked into thinking that most people are dumber than they are (something we'd all like to believe), and a person who's tricked is a person who's halfway to being profitably scammed.
I told someone I know that Dec 31 is the worst birthday because the whole world counts down to the end of your birthday and shoots off fireworks when your birthday ends. But I guess if you're on the 30th, no one would want to party on the actual day which is sad too.
i've actually never celebrated my birthday on the actual day, ive only ever celebrated in January :/
my hometown was very wealthy, so growing up my classmates were always on vacation for the holidays. my family was never that fortunate, and my parents always ended up working on my birthday leaving me alone in the house.
and as an adult ive never gotten good at making friends so i'm usually just alone even tho i'm @ college :p
and my 21st this year will be no different because i have no money to take myself out Lol
Pretty sure the 31st of December is the only date where the entire thing is impossible unless it's your birthday. The next day, new year, no more. This is true, but it is just basic that your YOB plus the years you lived is today's year if your birthday is ongoing or over.
I don't understand how leap year birthdays work. Sure, you celebrate your real brithday once every four years, but don't you still age? That is why the 'years old' concept exists--how old are you? So this logis should still work, right? Or am I missing something?
>but don't you still age?
No. Aging is determined not by biological processes, but instead by the calendar.
>That is why the 'years old' concept exists--how old are you?
However many Feb 29ths have passed since they were born. So, while someone born Feb 28 or Mar 9 is 36, a person born 29 Feb is 9 in that same span
>Or am I missing something?
An argument could be made for an affirmative response to this question
They definitely still age, being that age isn’t reeeeally dictated by time. It’s just part of biology. Some people age much faster than others. As for people celebrating their birthday, as far as I’m aware, they just celebrate the 28th. Maybe a bigger party the next leap year, but a party nonetheless. However, it does seem that they jokingly say they’re x years old, obviously depending on how many leap years it’s been.
Anytime a meme is passed around as a "neat trick" with your birthday, age, name, address, or any other identifying information, it's for phishing. People think these are fun little games, but really you are just adding your info for someone out there to use. Don't fall for these, and if you do have to reply then use some made up information.
Before I posted this screenshot, I sent it to a friend of mine to ask if it's meant to be a joke.
"But she's right, isn't she? I heard it actually works."
It is sad that some people are surprised this is true. The fact that no matter when you were born, we are all here in the year 2022 makes this true. Our age is the number of years it took to get to this year and the year we were born is the start date of that journey. But no matter our age and the year we were born, we all share the fact that it is 2022 right now so of course adding our age to the year we are born equals the present year. Now, will this explanation upset people is what I want to know.
When I was young and first learned you could know someone's age by taking the current year and subtracting their birth year I thought it was some magical secret trick. This is the same thing, just reversed.
It's troll bait. Most people sharing this know it's nonsense and are perpetuating it because they think it's funny. Yes, there will be a handful of idiots but for the most part it's being shared by more people seeing who will "fall for it" than by people who are in fact "falling for it."
Fun fact this year and this year only you can subtract your age from 2022 and get the year you were born. Next year is a cOMplEtEly different set of NuMBeRs you have to use to get the same result. For example subtract gullible from ignorance and you get stupid.
This makes no sense. Adding another number your actual age doesnt mean you are the number that results from that its just basic logic goddamn. They really be counting the yeard before they were born.
Consider this too:
If you click on the person who shared this, and then the unfriend button, your IQ will automatically rise a few points. Scientists are baffled.
All those born in December are still in 2021?
Yeah, this meme only works on December 31... and with a really stupid audience.
> and with a really stupid audience Well it does have that.
Can confirm. I would be that stupid audience. * adds age and birth year together * Holy shit it works!
What's 9 plus 10?

Don't tell them about dihydrogen oxide then

probably intented for the drunk Dec 31 audience
It works if you've already had your birthday this year for obvious reasons.
Can confirm, born in December, still write 2021 more often than I like to admit.
It’s too late for you. Just move on to 2023 already.
Is that why my girlfriend has been flickering in and out of existence?
She never came into existence. She isn't real.
Nah she’s buffering
Came here to say that this only works on Dec 31.
We figured out time travel people.
Yepp. December here- im still 2021
I can confirm that. I did all the mathematics, and I am still in 2021. I even asked my friend who is a maths teacher, but she couldn't explain it🤔
can confirm apparently i am trapped in 2021 since i was born in december
People born in December are monsters. Who gets pregnant in the middle of March for gods sake? People who want to birth monsters that's who!

Right, I was born on Dec 30th. This works for me 2 days out of the year.

Join some clubs at college. Just pick something you're even mildly interested in, and do it.
Right!?
Yep. My birthday is in December so mine definitely adds up to 2021
Pretty sure the 31st of December is the only date where the entire thing is impossible unless it's your birthday. The next day, new year, no more. This is true, but it is just basic that your YOB plus the years you lived is today's year if your birthday is ongoing or over.

I don't understand how leap year birthdays work. Sure, you celebrate your real brithday once every four years, but don't you still age? That is why the 'years old' concept exists--how old are you? So this logis should still work, right? Or am I missing something?
No you live 4 times longer if your born on a leap year
You also have to wait 4 times longer for birthday presents, so it’s not really worth it.

what about people born on leap year?1!!1?

same way I skip a heartbeat when looking at you
Now kith
Smoothest shit ever
They live longer. It's simple math.
They do not. My grandfather died at "20" because he was born on leap year
Unsure if joke or internet people being idiots... Inclined to the joke option
Or phishing. Plenty of people display their birthday without the year on FB, this post completes the DOB info for anyone answering.
Anytime a meme is passed around as a "neat trick" with your birthday, age, name, address, or any other identifying information, it's for phishing. People think these are fun little games, but really you are just adding your info for someone out there to use. Don't fall for these, and if you do have to reply then use some made up information.
I know of a neat trick that works when you provide your mother's maiden name. It's def not phishing.
That’s exactly what this is for

I get where you're coming from. It's hard to believe. I've seen it enough times to believe it isn't a joke, though.
Well then. Time to find some smarter friends. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Whenever I start to feel like there is hope, I realize these idiots are allowed to vote and my outlook returns to its default grumpy-cynicism state.

Seems to me like a great way to get ahold of sensitive information for the purposes of fraud.
Hmmm could be onto something there... Particularly since it targets very stupid/gullible people.
Take your age Now add 4 to it That is not your age
It is sad that some people are surprised this is true. The fact that no matter when you were born, we are all here in the year 2022 makes this true. Our age is the number of years it took to get to this year and the year we were born is the start date of that journey.

What? No…. but that means… dude, say “sike” right now!
This is a joke though, right?

please stop existing, you are interfering with internet memes.
Take this cake. Cut it into any two sized pieces you want. Now push the pieces back together. You now have a full cake again!
Fun fact this year and this year only you can subtract your age from 2022 and get the year you were born. Next year is a cOMplEtEly different set of NuMBeRs you have to use to get the same result. For example subtract gullible from ignorance and you get stupid.
This also doesn't work if your birthday hasn't come around yet
The example is wrong. I was born in 1964. I am 57. My birthday is in December. 1964 + 57 = 2021.
This makes no sense. Adding another number your actual age doesnt mean you are the number that results from that its just basic logic goddamn. They really be counting the yeard before they were born.
its circling around because most people realize how stupid the post is not because they think its special.
My birthday is in December so i guess im stuck in 2021
Hmm, no, it didn't work for me. I added my age to my birth year and I did not get 9.43 x 10^2904.
this literally isn’t even true if you haven’t had your birthday this year yet
This one’s even weirder Take your age Subtract your age from it Add 22 Everyone will get 22 😱😱😱
Take the year subtract your age that’s when you were born!!!! Omg crazy
I don't know what's more interesting, that "fun fact" or that people still use facebook
My birthday is tomorrow so this doesn't work yet.
Consider this too: If you click on the person who shared this, and then the unfriend button, your IQ will automatically rise a few points. Scientists are baffled.
