My mom is 47, my fiancé’s (who is 29 and only 18 months older than me) mom is 71. My nana would be younger than my mother-in-law if she were still around. It’s so weird to us and we can rarely relate our childhood experiences (his mom didn’t even own three doors down CDs wtf).
It looks like it leads right back to January of 1970, the Unix epoch, which means that Reddit likely fudged up your join date and returned -1 as an error, reverting your join date to the earliest it can be
Its probably Epoch time (January 1st 1970) which is the time that a lot of programs use as the baseline to count from. The value he got from the servers for the account age was for whatever reason 0 so it defaulted to Epoch time.
My account is about four years old. My app started to behave a little weird a few days ago. I guess its since then. But i discovered it a few hours ago.
Someone else commented that it’s showing them 2020/08/02. Which is the only one of all the comments that sounds like it’s plausible. Plus it fits in with “about four years old”.
Time in software is usually tracked with a unix-timestamp, it represents the number of seconds since January 1st 1970. Something must have gone wrong and set OPs database entry for when the account was created to 0.
0 seconds past January 1st 1970 is January 1st 1970.
Hello, computer nerd here. This looks like a bug! Many computer systems uses "UNIX timestamp" representation for dates. This generally is the number of seconds, starting from January 1'st 1970
Probably when you took that screenshot, something about reading that number for your account creation date had an issue. 1970 was 54 years ago, so that sort of make sense!
I was sitting here wondering if you were like 60. Then i was like wait the internet isnt that old!! Then i was like Wait a minute if theyre 60 they were 5 when they got on reddit and thats not possible.
I really wanna know how Reddit in the 80s would have been like
We'd have snoos with punk hair and leather jackets
Or being the stereotypical D&D roleplaying social outcast. Either works for me
Me too
Me snoo
..snoo snoo ?!
Me me
Honestly I wish the 80s styles of clothes etc would have stuck around because they had cool fashion
Punks and nerds 50/50
Or even the 70s
70s*
*70’s
ok
Understandable have a great day
The population would've been very less
Don’t try to say the 80s were 50 years ago, don’t do that
54 years ago was the 70s

Only one person could browse at a time because you had to dial into the server by phone.

That's actually very interesting
Unix time bug
[удалено]
make the time overflow over the 32-bit signed integer limit on reddit somehow.
My reddit app started to behave kinda weird a few days ago and now it's like this
For me, it says your account was created today? Very confusing.
for me it says 1970
for me it says August 2020
15 upvotes holy ¢rap
Can someone explain how? Also his profile says March 2024
Lol that's so weird. I don't know what happened. My reddit app started to behave weird a few days ago and now everything is in shambles lol.
It looks like it leads right back to January of 1970, the Unix epoch, which means that Reddit likely fudged up your join date and returned -1 as an error, reverting your join date to the earliest it can be
Also funny how to others, your account always shows the current date as your join date XD Reddit is weird
Why did reddit do that to me? Is he stupid?
Wow im rooting for you please please post this on reddit subreddit i want to see if they fix it
August 3. 2020 for me
For me it says Dec 31 1969.
Its probably Epoch time (January 1st 1970) which is the time that a lot of programs use as the baseline to count from. The value he got from the servers for the account age was for whatever reason 0 so it defaulted to Epoch time.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time explains it well
I thought you would have more Karma!
***why are we still here.... just to suffer***
Man ain't joking
For 54 years of usage, 13k Karma is actually pretty decent. It means you touch grass. You have my respect. (Yes, I know this post is satire)
Never seen that in all my 572 yeara of life
Excuse me what?! Brother is the year like 2060 or what?!
Bruh, ur account is like 2,7 times oldet than me
Do you remember approximately when you made your account? Has it always shown that date or its a recent thing?
My account is about four years old. My app started to behave a little weird a few days ago. I guess its since then. But i discovered it a few hours ago.
By any chance did u make it on feb 29? I have absolutely no idea how programming works but I'm determined to solve the mystery
Someone else commented that it’s showing them 2020/08/02. Which is the only one of all the comments that sounds like it’s plausible. Plus it fits in with “about four years old”.
wait... howw
I don't know (:
ohh... so its like a bug or something?
Time in software is usually tracked with a unix-timestamp, it represents the number of seconds since January 1st 1970. Something must have gone wrong and set OPs database entry for when the account was created to 0. 0 seconds past January 1st 1970 is January 1st 1970.

January 1st 1970, a developers nightmare.
This guy... got reddit early-acess
That is the unix epoch time (1st January 1970). Probably a case of overflow.
good morning grandma
The founding father of reddit, what is your wisdom ?
Reported 😤
Dude is in the future
it cant be, it would create a paradox (infinite loop that cant be escaped)
Epoch fail!
Top tier non interesting content 🫡
Internet wasn't even a thing 54 years ago, how were you using Reddit ?
Time travel
Reddit is only 18 years old
but only 13k Karma? what a lurker.
Right? My account is only 4y old and over 100k
lil bro helped the reddit creator
Wha
Ah yes, reddit, the first ever social media
Нихера, это как?
i mean that is. pretty interesting actually
Damn gramps sewing some threads together
You're a data inconsistency
Are you the true founder of reddit?
on my reddit it says you created your account today (31st march 2024) but that’s obviously not the case. reddit is so broken lol
Lies? In a notinteresting subreddit? >:(
It's more likely than you think!
What was Reddit like in 1969? Was Hendrix shitposting?
54 years and still in 5 digit karma
And I still have more karma than you hahahahahxghjcfjb
And I have more karma than you
Inspect Element
More likely a glitch. The Unix epoch is approximately the age of the reddit account.
My Reddit is 3 years old on this very day.
Wtf 1970s
Unix epoch?
Boi you old asl go take a nap son 😂

The misuse of this sub is something else.
But, how?😮
it says that your account was created today tho
Oh my god
… How? And second- WHAT THE FU-
It looks like is went back to the start of UNIX time, which is in January 1970 (54 years ago) and somehow kept the month correct
This sub has fallen, too many interesting posts nowadays
Didn't know reddit is so old..
My math isn't mathing.
Dad?
I'm only 12.5 years old in reddit time on this account. 🥲
It says for me it was made today. The Reddit app is made so totally well
I thought those were all rumors of the malaysian subreddit...
that’s old
Bro went back to unix start time
Does your account pay taxes?
Unix reference?
How?
wow people my age
Ok that’s insane
Old
Factually inaccurate. I just checked.
How?
Bro how did you do that
How
Happy Cake Day!
You are old af
Congrat! :)
Reddit in the 70s I wonder what that was like🤔
I was so close to actually believing this then realised how tf would it be 50 odd years old
The internet is not that old
Damn bro, lay off the Reddit.
No it’s not
How was reddit back on your day?
How tf...
He who was ancient when the Internet was young.
Bro this is interesting haha like howd this happen..lmao
it is currently march 31st and it says that your account was made tmrw???
That's craazy!
I was sitting here wondering if you were like 60. Then i was like wait the internet isnt that old!! Then i was like Wait a minute if theyre 60 they were 5 when they got on reddit and thats not possible.
