minus-square@nrezcm@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish37•4 months agoI feel like celebrating only on February 29th during a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then that’s their birthday and their rate of aging is slowed by %80.
minus-square@Rivalarrival@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink19•4 months agoYour 80% claim doesn’t account for people who live through a year divisible by 100 but not 400. Children born today could feasibly turn 18 in 2096, but won’t celebrate their 19th birthday in 2100. They’ll turn 19 in 2104.
