Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for October 02, 2023

That’s a lot of Counting.

I’m surprised it lets you scroll that far. I can’t get it to go past like 1900.

Any websites insistent on wanting my date of birth I put 1901 never failed to accept it yet !!!!

:-D love the “scroll scroll scroll…” in combination with his blank expression.

It seems to take forever to scroll back far enough but at least I don’t have to go back to the 1700’s.

It hurts when you have to scroll to far, down to the early ’80s!!

29 more to go, keep up the good work!

I can’t count that high. This is a pain in the neck

Keep going… scroll, scroll, scroll.

It’s the scroll of death.

We are now far enough into the 2000’s (almost a quarter of the way), to think of the 20th century as “old.” I was born in the first half of that century.

It has become more time efficient to enter the year manually.

I once clicked on one of those “See whoever/whatever was blah, blah, blah the year you were born” and the scrolling stopped at 1960.  It’s official… I’m old!

Don’t you hate it when you gotta put in your birthday online for something?

I thought Dracula was born in 1897 – the year the first story was done by Bram Stroker.

Ha! Looks like he’s had to do this endless times before.

Like me now.

Like they are going to check. There is no good reason to give your actual birthdate to anyone but government, financial and legal interests. For all others I use, 1 Jan 19xx. Data miners can cross-check “anonymized” data that contain real birthdays to “dox” you using other readily available data.

Sometimes it feels just like that.

The Count von Count claims to be upwards of 100,000….

I’ve had one site, for age verification, has you scrolling by months. I usually just settle on good enough.

Hilarious!

Well, that bites.

I’m wondering if it goes back that far….Blah Blah Blah

I love to Count the number of hilarious Off the Mark comics. And that’s so many I lost track.

Bad programming & no user testing. Everyone thinks they’re a “programmer” now.
