More correctly I could have said the software defaults to this rather than sounding like an old man ranting about the computers.
Just to be clear, this is a function of (probably) the database system (SQL Server or Oracle I'm guessing) or the programming language. If you pass in a date of 0 you can get 1/1/1900. If you default the date in the programming language you could end up with dates of 1/1/0001 too
Or 12/13/1969 or 01/01/1970.
Wasn’t this reprogrammed in 1999? I guess it wasn’t done on all systems but, it should have been. It’s a ‘thing’.
Our old PFT system allowed entry of "age" and/or DOB, but didn't require DOB. When we migrated all the old PFTs into new system, suddenly we had a bunch of 200 year old people (no DOB entered). was a mess, but not a conspiracy.
Coulda been vampires. Or elves. Just sayin, you should broaden your differential
One bank in South America reportedly the average customer is a centarian astronaut as the first occupation on the pull down list is the latter and the DOB pull down starts with Jan 1st 1900.
As the parent of a child in the NYC school system, I got a SNAP card (meals are free to all students). In what people tell me is basically a ploy to not have to pay the people without the time or patience to straighten it out, my child's birthdate is listed as 01/01/1900.
I don't mean a ploy like they sat there & erased his real birthdate, more likely there's no incentive to fix glitches or check properly. I realized I didn't explain the SNAP, although probably no one cares - it's because school building were closed for months.
