And their 150 year olds and more were database relics. Now I know I studied Cobol back in the day but genius young guys should also know to handle things like: List of commonly used placeholder dates in databases and their typical origins: 0000-00-00 – Default for "unknown" in some systems, though not always valid. 0101-01-01 – Used in early software when no real date was available. 1753-01-01 – Earliest valid date in Microsoft SQL Server (due to the switch from Julian to Gregorian calendars). 1775-01-01 – Placeholder for estimated historical birthdates, sometimes appearing in genealogical records. 1800-01-01 – Common default for missing 19th-century records. 1875-01-01 – Appears in Social Security and financial systems as an artifact of early database defaults and is 150 years ago this year. 1899-12-30 – Base date for Microsoft Excel's date system. 1900-01-01 – Used in legacy systems as an arbitrary cutoff for modern records. 1970-01-01 – Unix epoch (time zero for Unix-based systems). 1999-12-31 – Used in Y2K testing and sometimes as a placeholder for unknown 20th-century dates. 2099-12-31 – Occasionally used for "indefinite future" placeholders in billing and subscription systems. Most of these are due to system limitations, programming conventions, or historical reasons.
In 2099 somebody's getting rich Yeah today is a day I question ET, many don't have intellectual curiosity and you can see the scripted fallacies coming. I'm mostly here as few people get the odd joke.
Not only did Elon’s DOGE idiots not know how placeholder date fields are used in COBOL — they couldn’t even differentiate between the purposes of basic fields such as Death and Deceased used in the Social Security database. It’s sad that idiots of such low intellect are anywhere near a government computer system.
