For those old enough, do you enter your actual birthday when a website asks?

As in, when a website asks you to verify your age by entering your bithday, do you enter your actual birthday or just enter any random thing to make the process quicker? I don't, but my friend does, I always found that weird since it doesn't matter at all.

Most of the time I usually do, but since I'm old enough I just enter in some random birthday to get through. I've done this for years, especially for Rated M game trailers.

When I'm registering for a site I use my actual birthdate, but when it pops up when I'm trying to enter a site I'll usually just pick a random date over the legal age.

I never do. I subtract 5 from every number on my birthday, add those, and then move on. I like my privacy :)

My "internet birthday" is January 11, 1980. My real birthday would take longer than that to type out. I'm lazy :)

When it came to sites, like ones where I could get free stuff, I was 18. I wasnt really 18. But I'm about to turn 20, so I dont need to lie anymore.

If it's just for viewing something on a website then no I would not do that. I don't really want to leave my real information just to view something. But if it's for registering an account then yes.

It depends on the site but most of the time yes. Especially on sites that will give me freebies, coupons, discounts, on my birthday.

If it's one of those "enter your date of birth to watch this video" prompts, I always just scroll the year down to ~1900 and hit OK. :P

No, I don't even bother with the M/D just scroll up some random year. Since being old enough is the purpose I don't really bother.

Never. I just go January 01 and I choose a random date, like 1950. Doesn't matter.

Not usually, takes too long to actually look through the numbers and find the right ones. :P
