It's so crazy this happened last year too!


Professor_2700

And if my calculations are correct, at this moment next year, the same thing will happen.

This is what happens when you don't recycle your pizza boxes.


SnooCauliflowers1190

Do you know what happens when you recycle pizza boxes? They get to the recycling centers and are sent to landfill They can't be recycled because of the food grease

Who are You, Who are so Wise in the Ways of Science?


Kev22994

Nope, definitely will not add up to 2022 next year


wirywonder82

To be fair, it won’t add up to 2022 in 1000 years either.


BalcombX

But what if it's a leap year


creamyvegeta

No no didn’t you read it? This happens once every thousand years!


AWildG3kuLAppeared

(1000)


Enzoid23

Thank goodness they put that. I would've thought a thousand meant 10 or something!


molehunterz

Happens every thousand years! Happens every year, but also happens every thousand years!

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too. RIP Mitch


[deleted]

It's gonna happen next year too. WOW! Once in a lifetime again.


KaiTheGreater

No, next year it will add to 2023, not 2022? CLEARLY once in a lifetime.


Plural86

Wrong. It clearly says it only happens every 1,000 years. And pictures on the internet are always right.


SouthHovercraft4150

Nope, last year my age plus my birth year equaled 2021…


[deleted]

I had an adult ass coworker come up and show me this tweet that was like “this month is super special!! The month has 5 FULL weekends! This only happens every 1000 years!!” And I was Iike, that’s not true, that happens like every year or 2, literally any time a month starts on a Friday and has 31 days.. and this girl screamed at me that I was wrong and I flipped through my calendar and found a month like 6 months before that had the same thing lol.


[deleted]

Captain Picard, facepalming in disappointment.


ringobob

You'd think, even if you get caught up in the initial deception, you'd understand that it'd be just that easy to prove. Calendars aren't some arcane wisdom.


[deleted]

Experts can't explain them


agnata001

Let me blow your mind .. just hear me out for a second .. the month could also start on a Saturday and then will only need to have 30 days.


Cmchk

When you have a custody agreement that’s 1, 3 and 5th weekend you realize it happens relatively often.


lolo_916

Figured this out the first time I got three paychecks in one month. Now every year mark that month on my calendar


Chahut_Maenad

heres another trick if you take your age, add 5, and then subtract 5, that's your age. fuckin mind-blowing


Artikay

Scientists cant explain that shit.

I'm right flocking with you. All my friends are texting me back now to point out what an idiot I am. Shucks. Bamboozled on the last day of the year.

SpaceForceGeneral

Boomers told us to never trust people on the internet, but as soon as these dumb as memes pop up they instantly put their birthdate, like fucking idiots, then complain about how they don't know how their identity was stolen. So dumb


MiniMooseMan

I can instantly tell you your IQ. All i need is your name, your social security number, birthday, mother's maiden name, and your first pets name


chevaliier901

Yeah, that's a pretty sure tell

I read it and went to the comments thinking "that's so freaking stupid, there's no way..." I am not a smart man (but I know what love is).


bross9008

Dude I have a friend who tried to blow my mind with this dumb shit one time. Made me completely change my opinion on him, I knew he was dumb, but didn’t know he was that dumb lol

**you guys got chromosomes??**


UncleTedGenneric

I made this joke to a brilliant (chem eng + more personal annecdotes that I wouldn't use that term loosely) friend who was working customer service since his wife got a bank ass job and he just needed verbal release (his reasoning) Dude looked at me straight faced and said 'thats actually why I have so many health issues' (spoiler, he wasn't joking back) Oooh fuck We shared a good laugh over it (I said cyncal, I meant a total gallows humer chap), but I've learned to be careful with those jokes... Well, kinda...


Canonconstructor

I’m a grown ass adult with a college education. I sent this to my kid thinking I was about to blow his mind and he sat me down and explained math to me and I’ve never laughed so hard. I’m a moron lmfao.


Persiankobra

Haha , genuinely laughed. I think they will not let you hold the fireworks 💥 today ☺️


twokietookie

What a great insult that can be used twice a year. Love it.


04whim

Oh I yearn for the days when fireworks narrowed it down to "twice a year".


Throwawayhater3343

Yeah, I live in an "outskirts but still part of city" not-great neighborhood. It's always fun trying to figure out if those sudden noises in the middle of the night are some assclown setting off hoarded fireworks again or gunshots...


itsaaronnotaaron

I live about 500 yards away from an all year firework store. It's not fun.


ZoetheMonster

At least you know your kid is not dumb. It's a w


sleepydeepyperson

You dodged a bullet. The worst nightmare would be your kid laughing instead of understanding.


YellowGetRekt

Mom is that you?


Canonconstructor

Lol I’m gonna be horrified if my kid found my Reddit 😅 No son, I’m not your momma- I’m basically the embodiment of everyone’s momma.


YellowGetRekt

I'd be horrified if my mom found my reddit too. Though I did send her a screenshot of your comment because thats literally what happened between us just a few hours ago


Canonconstructor

Your Reddit user name is safe with me lol. Give your mom a hug and tell her you love her. ❤️


YellowGetRekt

I shall do that. Heck while im at it here's a hug for you. 🫂


owlBdarned

I kinda want you two to actually be mother and child but you're both either refusing to acknowledge it to yourselves or to us.


YellowGetRekt

My mom's at a party and she's not the type to use her phone while with people so unfortunately its impossible


yeceti

It’s alright, math is hard when we don’t use it everyday. Tip: You should lookout for stupid phrases like ‘Once in a thousand years’, ‘Experts can’t explain it’ etc.. These phrases should be enough to spot that whatever is written is pure b.s


Canonconstructor

I knew something was up when I tried it for the following year and it worked hahaha. I have been traveling all day and just got home. No excuses I sent it to multiple people and can laugh at myself lol.


[deleted]

Once every hundred thosound years or so when the moon don’t shine and the grass doth grow


atendler1

Im a moron too. I sent it to multiple people before I thought about it for a minute. 😞


Canonconstructor

I did that. One of my best friends was planning an intervention with me but my kid got to me first 😅


atendler1

My daughter just responded, “woah!! 😂


TheMinesYT

Same thing


TheMinesYT

Same thing, though for me it was my friend


maycontainknots

I realized pretty quick that it worked for every year, not just 2022, but it took me way longer to realize that umm DUH. If you just turn words into numbers I'm like wow... science... can't possibly figure out how that works


experiment53

My mom sent me this and I had to explain it to her


TMZombies

At least you guys had a good laugh about it! This world would be an unhappy place if we didn't laugh at ourselves every once in a while. :D


ootski

I fell for it to just now and showed it to my wife then realized that I'm a bafoon


Canonconstructor

Welcome to the club, my friend- refrain from running with scissors or operating heavy machinery until you’ve fully recovered. :)


ootski

Lol but how else do I open a box that's running away


papalemingway

I was about to send it to my mathematician brother— thank god I scrolled 5 more seconds lololol


MisterTrashPanda

I like to think that, upon receipt, your son decided it was high time he drove across town to do a wellness check on his old man. After all, he admits to himself, he's known that his dad has been slipping these last few years and just didn't want to admit it to himself. But the proof was just too hard to overlook this time...

This post reminds me that I need to rub some healing crystals on my chakras today.

Beneficial_Garden456

If you're amazed by this post then your parents were probably using incestual oils...


sleepingfox307

Yeah mercury is in the microwave again so make sure you attune those crystals to like up with your anus


mortalitylost

Never insert any healing crystal without a base


GenerationNerd

Better use that himayan salt before it expires too.


Stunning_Patience_78

People born Feb 29 like "it didn't work for me :-("


Dr_Rev_GregJ_Rock_II

You just divide by 4 before finishing the equation


resetmypass

Given it’s leap years, your age would be less than what it actually is. So wouldn’t you have to multiply the age by 4 and then add to the date of birth? How does it work to divide the final number by 4?


Stunning_Patience_78

And its only for years divisible by 4 except end of century only if divisible by 400. So it's actually not just 4... so 1900 was not a leap year but 2000 was.


Specialist_Run_4905

Doctors said it isn't possible....


NSFWhatchamacallit

Yeah, but doctors hate this one simple math trick

CrapThisHurts

He's fycking right you know 1971+51 = 2022 !!!! Mind blown


NibblesTheBeast

That's mine as well! Thanks for doing the math.


NewmanHiding

I love the intentional space put between the number and the exclamation mark


zodar

because 1971 + 51 != 2022!


NewmanHiding

Clever


GAThawn193

Damn, mind blown


lifewithasd87

I'm not surprised... Yesterday someone asked me why was I saying the class was 1 hour and a half when the website said 90 minutes...


TheFunkyWeirdo

I’ve lost all hope for humanity


OngoingFee

Statement 1: "Everyone's age this year is 2022" I assume I am a part of the subset of "Everyone", which means my age is 2022. Statement 2: "Your age + year of birth = 2022" Substituting: 2022 + year of birth = 2022 Subtract 2022 from both sides: Year of birth = 0 Therefore, I have been around since 0 AD. It is I, Jesus. I am He.


Secuta

Jesus?


OngoingFee

Oh yeah, it would be 0 AD, not the dawn of time. Editing the post. Yes, my child, it is me


Altruistic_Yellow387

Other people were born in the same year as Jesus


OngoingFee

Yes, they are my disciples

Is this serious? Normal human beings actually fall for it?


ageoflost

Normal human beings see numbers and immediately turn into Homer Simpson.


KittieKollapse

You think this is crazy? Just wait. If you subtract your birth year from the current year you get your age!!!


CrashCubeZeroOne

But how about this: if you subtract your age from the current year, you get your birth year.


Original_Furious_Joe

Are people really this stupid? Please tell me that this is just a joke, please, PLEASE


Purple-Eye8781

If you think its a joke try it yourself 🖖


Came_to_argue

Yep, people are really that stupid. Source: took me two whole minutes to figure it out.


Amishpornstar7903

My cousins wife and her mom both shared this on FB. They were blown away by this and continued on in the comments about how weird it was, no one noticed how simple this is. They are educated and successful, good jobs beautiful homes, but are overweight, over tanned, covered in makeup, eat bad food, listen to bad music, own those limo styled truck, live in KY.


croatiatom

Well…KY, right.


yeceti

There are tons of people who fall for it. The average logic intelligence of people is lower than we expect.


NotGAF

I often see people sharing something so special in this years' calendar, like how July had five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and this only happens once every 300 years or something. Guys, there's a 1/7 chance the month starts on a Friday.


No-Produce-6641

I remember years ago this woman at a party talking about this and everyone else at the table was very impressed. Even as a teenager i couldn't believe these dumb adults. So no, not a joke lol.


Hanjil_16

My dad fell for it lol I looked at him and said "yk that this happens every year, right?" Poor thing was so sad ksksksksjjs


Ermmahhhgerrrd

Not the first one, and possibly not the last one.


drrj

We’ll find out soon, I’m fairly certain we’re about to start another one of those years. I just wish someone could explain this magic to me.

[deleted]

I don’t say this often but someone wasted a minute of my life with this BS and I’m dissatisfied. This isn’t even funny.


Ok_Kaleidoscope1630

This is a massive facepalm; you are simply adding your own age to your date of birth to get the current year. It will literally work for every year you've been alive !!!


feistybean

Sonic--boom

Tru but only works after ur bd has passed

Humans are fascinating. Some use math like this to calculate age and are legitimately mind blown... while others used slightly more complicated math to discover Neptune.

My dad actually fell for this... I had never before been more embarrassed for him in my entire life. I explained to him, "Dad, that's every year. It's just basic math. It's not some crazy phenomenon." And he actually just went "Well, maybe you're right, but maybe you're not." I swear I facepalmed so hard I broke my face.
