    I remember reading someone on some service…maybe it was Steam?..saying that some wildly disproportionate percentage of their users had January 1 as their birthday. As in, people didn’t even want to bother setting the month and day, which defaulted to January 1, just cranked the year back to whatever was required to avoid age-restriction hurdles.

      I wish they wrote down the date somewhere and don’t ask me again (probably they don’t want so don’t need to bother with storing sensitive privacy data)

      But I registered in 2008, at this point they can assume I’m at least 18, no?
