1969? what the hell?


Recommended Posts

here's the scoop. i got bored, went to my user cp, clicked on private messages, one said "deleted user". i know this is me, from my old das mole that was deleted that all of us know about, yada yada yada. so i read the thing because it was a donating credits thing (i had donated credits to myself), and it had no avatar or anything. all it had was the date registered, posts, points, and the message. here's what it said on the side.

 

registered: Dec 1969

posts:

points:

 

and the message, where it said "regards, das mole", so i know it's me.

 

the thing is, i don't really see how anybody could've been registered on Dec 1969 because:

1) the internet wasn't even made then

and 2) i wasn't even alive then: that date is about 20 or so years before i was actually born.

 

so what i want to know is this: is it a preset thing? i dunno. i just thought it was very interesting, so i had to post it.

Your past incarnation became bored and was involved in the transmission of abstract data through the interstitial time vortex, travelling back in time to the best year it could think of.

 

In other words, cosmic forces conspired to make the computational time index exactly equal to zero equate, in real human terms, to the date Jan 1st 1970. As luck would have it, nonexistent users generally have a null value for a creation time, which is translated to zero by the forum software to prevent the world being sucked into itself through the Eye of Harmony, which might not be such a bad thing. Timezone oddities, the server being located a few thousand miles west of the Greenwich Meridian, explain the rest.

 

Clear?!
