PSA: Never Share your Date of Birth

[Null]

[Sep 28, 2017 at 12:31 AM] @zedkissed60: public service reminder: please don't share your dob

I was born on December 19th, 1992. According to our census data, there were approximately 4,084,000 live births in 1992, or 11,189 per day. A lot of those stupid babies died, so the actual effective number is less than that. Divide that up by the birth rate of the 50 states and you've got a mean 223 people per day per state. I'm likely the only Joshua born in my state on December 19th, 1992 and the only Joshua Moon born in 1992 in the entire country. If not, please let me know so I can assume his identity.

That's literally all it takes. The more unique your name is, the narrower the search is. The older you are, the lower the number of people born the same year as you becomes.

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Is that why so many Kiwis were born on 1 January?

haha, these fuckers will never find out I was born in 2008

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

Is this a dox thing?

I dont think the DOB is an issue

To be able to use your DOB they would also need your full name


Now on a site like this, by the time you tell someone your full name, you would have generally told them the area you live in etc etc



Therefore you have already been doxed so it doesnt really matter

[Ntwadumela]

People are born every single day.

I don't put my real DOB into any forum I sign up for, except the year I was born. You're fucking stupid if you do more than that. If you ever put your REAL date of birth onto ANY forum, you deserve the dox you're inevitably getting.

Or a big list of candidates they want to narrow down.
