Feel like robbing someone later so i can watch them try this

The alarm at one place i worked *did* have a 'duress code' built into it, one you could enter if someone was forcing you to open up and which would alert the police, so it is possible (but obviously bullshit here)
(And the ATM *could* know you'd typed your pin in backwards - it knows when you've typed it correctly so it must know what it is.)
((Or it could be like a password where the hash is stored and the entered password is hashed again and compared against the stored version, which would mean it wouldn't know you'd typed it backwards))
What I'm saying is that this is possible, which is probably why people believe it.

Thing is, 4 digit pin only has 10,000 variants so, as Roberto alluded above, there's going to be thousands and thousands of people who have palindrome PINs.
There does seem to be a brain disconnect with some people when they see something like this on social media. I've also seen fairly bright people sharing shit like this or replying 'Yes' on those fucking ones that say Stare at the photo, click Like then reply Yes and watch the magic happen.

The backward PIN trick is so important and useful that all Banks have left it up ExploreTalent.com to inform all of their customers that it exists through a viral facebook post

the few conversations i've had with my postman lead me to believe that a serial killer delivers packages to my house way more frequently than once a month

Honestly those postal game packages do appeal to me, but they're usually hideously overpriced. Also I totally get why "what if a serial killer delivered packages to your door" is a ridiculous advert.

imo mid-life crisis is a free floating range, you can drift into it any time between 35 and 50
or whenever you buy that corvette

Possibly because people die at different ages. If you have it when you're 35 that means you'll die when you're 70.

mine started right around age 23 iirc but i've extended my lifespan considerably by picking a few saturdsys a month and putting it on pause

Well, I'm 56 and I still haven't had one.
Then again, I had a bad illness at 21, so every year is a bonus effectively..

They overrated.
So, basically if you get to a certain age, and decide you want a sporty car, that's level one.
A sporty girlfriend, that's level five (two if you're not actually married, etc)
What else?

change career paths when you have a good job, go back to school, change your lifestyle by becoming some crazed marathon runner, become an expat somewhere with a low coat of living, post on craigslist looking for someone interested in cannibalism to eat you

the problem is that traditionally, you have to eat others before you are eaten, and that has been an absolute mess to arrange
