Re:Ask HN: Has Google figured out you gave them a fake date ... by jqpabc123 on Thursday May 06, 2021 @08:17AM (#27062079)
Just pick a year, and pick a day. Use it.

As I said, "Anything will work as long as you can remember and reproduce it."

I find that I tend to forget purely random dates over time so I prefer a semi-random date based on something I will not forget.

It's just a memory trick, I forget meaningless dates but I don't forget simple privacy algorithms. Your mileage may vary.
