I'm making a snarky allusion to the default date for a blank date field

The default date is 1970-01-01. What does being a day older accomplish?
For those in the western hemisphere, local time zone adjustment means that midnight on 1970-01-01 GMT becomes some time in the afternoon or evening of the day before.
