Born on the first january of 1970.
My mind just got blown. For some reason, I never thought of this possibility.
Somebody else however suggested using 31st december 1969. Now that's just evil...
The most significant result of this poll is that HN now seems to be past the point where we can rely on an honor system to prevent users from giving junk answers to polls. A few years ago we could. That's an unfortunate change. However, it's an ill wind that blows no good. When I'm done reading applications, I'll add a little tweak to HN to make the fonts super big for all the users over 80.
Put a poll out there, give it at least one irrelevant/obviously inapt answer and people will click it. Not really an HN problem if you ask me...

My thoughts exactly. That's a lot of <10 year olds...
I'll have to think of something extra for them too. Any ideas? Bear in mind that about half the users under 10 are also over 90, so whatever it is can't conflict with extra large fonts.

put the nicks of the voters below each answer

> When I'm done reading applications, I'll add a little tweak to HN to make the fonts super big for all the users over 80. I'm in my mid-20s, I did not vote dishonestly in this poll, but I wish you'll make the change for me anyway. The small font on a 1080p screen (13" screen) is practically unreadable for me. I have to zoom in about 150% to make out anything.

Some browsers have a handy feature called "minimum font size." Firefox: http://i.imgur.com/m2doXpX.png Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/minimum-font/pofdg...
