I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Agent Smith was right. It was the peak of our civilization.

I'd prefer a few years earlier, the 90's was rad dude.

The HIV epidemic was something to behold!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

By the end of the decade (1999), it was estimated that around 34 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.

As of 2021, the number of people living with HIV globally was approximately 38 million.

Let's go back and spread awareness and condoms dude, then we smoke a blunt and do 90's stuff!

I agree. I don't need a historian for this. I remember it, and yeah it definitely wasn't perfect. But I am not convinced I'm sugar coating it through retrospection. Mid to late 90s was peak civilization as far as I can tell.

I do if I'm phrasing it like that.
