I think they might start getting suspicious when the account age is double the average human lifespan and is still in use.
Not true as I've often been born on January 1st in the early 1900's.
Not many situations where you can use the phrase "I've often been born".
Glad you noticed that lol, it's really the make or break part of the joke.
Yeah after writing it I sort of realised I was pointing out the joke, but we're here now.
Naw I didn't mean that, but hell yeah let's be here anyway. To me, technically the joke is that none of us probably bother to put in our real birth month and date when Steam asks us to verify our age before viewing the next game suggestion in our discovery queue or wherever; just spin that wheel for the year lol. But the wording you pointed out is the only tipoff that it's what I'm talking about, over-explaining would have made it boring, and if I go too subtle, then nobody gets it. I was genuinely thanking ye for the noticing the deliberate wording and I hope you got a chuckle :D
