Today in Warframe a new character dropped he is a rockstar. One guy from my clan asked me "Do you know who David Bowie is? He is kind of an old rock legend..." Bruh I'm 40 WTF?

Oof size: big.
I had to translate German papers to English. Not necessarily because I'm that old, but they were the only ones that had the information I needed. Although most of my research was based on stuff in the 90's....
"Actually, 1994 is the only year that is excluded in this history course."

Everything before 9/11 is fake news.
Computers, never invented.
AIDs and the cure for it, never happened.
Bill Clinton, I mean cmon, doesn't fucking exist.
I'm old enough to remember when they were making all this stuff up. Like 2 whole world wars, yeah, right.
9/11/2001 is the date the simulation was turned on. Everything prior to that is just programmed memories and fabricated history.
Yo this is making too much sense and I’m not even high
I mean the 1700s is 1700-1799 so it's just consequential
From now on, when someone asks how old I am, I'm going to say I was born in the late 1900s
Or at the late 20th Century...
Doesn't work, "20th century" as a term is synonymous with "modern". "The xx00s" is automatically "a long time ago".

"Oh, no, not that late, actually."
I always wondered what would happen if you cite an original source of something we consider common sense now. What would nature say if you use conservation of momentum and cite Isaac Newton and the Principia Mathematica.
What if you quote something in latin. For most of science history this was completely normal.
This is incredible
And how kind of you to share that with us here. On Lemmy. That skews older.
(sad) lmao
Hey now, 1995 will always be 10 years ago. Always.
Damn, I've got the heaviest drinking pattern of any 10 year old you ever seen then.
I finally was able to readjust my brain into believing 1995 was longer than 10 years ago. I'm now convinced it was 20 years ago.
This is borderline acceptable.
I was born in 96. I'll be turning 30 next year
I first played Doom in 1995. And SimCity 2000. It indeed feels like 10 years ago.
Funny how time works.
- 1995 was ten years ago.
- 1997 was three years ago.
- Every year of the 80s was 20 years ago.
- 2010 was 10 years ago.
- 2016 was two years ago.
- 2018 was two years ago.
- 2019 was one year ago.
- 2020 lasted for six years, but ended three months into the year.
- 2021-2022 didn't happen.
- 2023 ended just a few weeks ago.
- 2024 still hasn't ended. We also invented time travel. Consequently:
- 2025 apparently started in the 1960s, and rapidly progressing towards the 1940s.
I can still hear the dialup tone in my brainnnnnnn
My tinnitus can negotiate a V.92 handshake.
were it not so sad.... that'd be impressive....
nrmally tinnitus is a constant sine wave right? I'm lucky that mine is only audible at a noise floor of "super quiet" (my dB meter crapped out on me a while back and I've not had the money to replace it sadly)

Wow
I love to say “before the turn of the century” when referring to stuff like 1997.
In the late millennium

Which sounds worse:
- From the late 1900s
- From last century
"1900s" makes me think they're referring to the decade of 1900-1909 😅

Not what you asked, but I find turn of the century most jarring.
Turn of the millennium?
That stings, but not quite as much as century as with that my brain now has to go through the process of determining which century when it never had to before.
Century has that human element because "last century" is where old people are from. You wouldn't meet people from the last millennium, but you know people from the last century. It's 100 years, that's a lifetime. Implying that you're from the "last" one means you're not from "this" one. Aka, ancient.
you never learnt about stuff that took place a bit after the industrial revolution?
From last millenium.
