@tab2space@mastodon.social @wendynather@infosec.exchange @skaverat@skaverat.net @dangoodin@infosec.exchange There are countries where things have been so bad that people don't know their D.O.B. and it's traditional to answer yyyy-01-01 (some will also have to guess yyyy even then).

@RupertReynolds@hachyderm.io @tab2space@mastodon.social @skaverat@skaverat.net @dangoodin@infosec.exchange My grandfather didn’t know his date of birth except for it being the third candle of Hanukkah. I don’t know how he handled it when he came through Ellis Island.

@RupertReynolds@hachyderm.io @tab2space@mastodon.social @wendynather@infosec.exchange @skaverat@skaverat.net @dangoodin@infosec.exchange In South Korea, your official age increments on Jan 1, which is already 1 year higher than your international age because they count time in the womb. They just recently switched to all international bdays though.

@RupertReynolds@hachyderm.io @tab2space@mastodon.social @wendynather@infosec.exchange @skaverat@skaverat.net @dangoodin@infosec.exchange I don't know if it's a case of i4 "being so bad" in the country that people don't know their exact d.o.b., but the date just not "being so relevant". You'll do just fine until someone sets up a system where it's one of the keys for access.
