Everyone I've ever met had an age which is only one number. Did your age use to be a 3D vector? And now it's... a quaternion?

Please don't rotate my age...

Oh man, I miss my past life when my age wasn't yet an octonian.

Say what base right now
zitrone@europe.pub · 7 pts · 5d
2 makes sense
assuming "age" means years since birth and "numbers" means digits, op would be younger than 8
charokol@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 5d
Why not 9?

1000₂ = 8₁₀ has 4 digits in base 2
111₂ = 7₁₀ has 3 digits in base 2

Oof. When I first read this posts my mind was somehow reading “base 2” as “base 10” and I just couldn’t wrap my mind around what I was seeing. Sleep has made everything make sense
zitrone@europe.pub · 1 pts · 4d
i mean base 10 is base 2 if you write the base as base 2
charokol@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 4d
Let’s just say that’s what I was thinking
greyhathero@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 4d
I mean it would have to be at least base 4 given the text.
M137@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 5d
I read it as days, so 2.73 years. Or months, 83.33 years.
That thing where some mothers say "oh he/she's X days/months old" for kids that are way beyond where that's relevant.
NewDark@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 5d
Oh interesting take. The unit is different but still base 10. That would certainly be the more normal way to think about it...

Life took a dark turn after 999

I think they're so old that humans weren't around when they were born

Guys we found the vampire

You a turtle?
Viceversa@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 5d
Like 100?
undefinedTruth@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 5d
They said 3 numbers, not 3 digits. So, I am assuming 7, 28 and 36.
kettuli@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 5d
Or 627, whichever suits you.

... in weeks?
So, it stopped being sweet at 19 years?
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 5 pts · 4d
420 is the highest age.
Renat@szmer.info · 5 pts · 4d
No. The higghest age is 255, beacuse there is age overflow and human turn into being 0 age.
rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social · 5 pts · 4d
What?
You mean 1 digit?
Agent641@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 4d
Did a Djinn post this?
Etterra@discuss.online · 3 pts · 4d
I also fondly remember my life when I was a mere 999 years old.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 4d
3.5
????
finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 4d
I remember the pleasant days of being 509.
slaacaa@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 4d
999 weeks old?
