@dtluna I could, but I don’t want to encourage these kinds of requests

[terrigarland@mas.to]

@lispi314 Not sure. When I saw this request, I just closed the app.

@terrigarland Alternatively: Pick the oldest goddamn date it will allow.

In one of the Google accounts I had to make for a project I think I'm like well over 200 years old.

I had always assumed that everyone entered 1/1/1990?

It's fake data, which they can't verify. Who cares?

@terrigarland I change my profile picture often and forgot I'd left it on this grumpy old looney tunes lady. Heh, fits nicely with my 200 year old birthday in signups.

@josh Me, too! I once had a mail provider asking, and I'm born in 1800. I still remember the French Revolution! @terrigarland

@terrigarland Remove the first 2 lines of the text and that's the only purpose they're collecting this for.

[terrigarland@mas.to]

@mldkyt Absolutely!

@terrigarland
Yup. If they didnt need it yesterday or for decades prior, they dont need it now.

@Petesmom My account is over 13 years old. That alone should be enough for them.
