This only happens once every thousand years

Another crazy ass shit thing about 2020

This only happens once every thousand years,


Take your year if birth add your age = 2020


EG you were born in 1980 so you are 40 years old. 1980 + 40 = 2020

Sounds like a phishing bot to get people to post their age, it works for every year, not just 2020.
For example, let's pretend it's the year 2000. The 40 year old in your example will be 20. So, 1980 + 20 = 2000

I heard it from a friend today, it only happens on 2020, he's into geeky math shit.

But.. It still works for every year. Like, last year your example would be 1980 + 39 = 2019. It's the same with every year, assuming that the person's birthday already happened that year.

Formula:
(Your birth year) + (Your current age) = Current Year
You know. X years ago from this year is when you were born.
Your Birth Year = (Current Year) - (Your Current Age)
etc

That's all it is.

That was the point I guess you saw through it, a lot of people who were asked this got surprised how your year of birth and age add up to the current year. You're not one of those, I was waiting to see the reaction of people. Nice going boss.
