Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

physicists have long debated how many dimensions there are. i believe there are six, and i'll walk you through how i got there. pick up a block and count its sides. four, right? front, back, west, and right. add a fifth dimension for weight and a sixth for what color it is and there you go
