I was speaking to someone at a party and for some reasons the topic of 9/11 came up and they mentioned they weren’t born when it happened so I just stopped talking to them.
I’ve got a really personal connection to 9/11 so the memories surrounding it are really vivid for me. Was talking to a buddy the other day about it and he started laughing and I asked why. He said “You were playing with a pocket knife and I was shitting in my diapers.” It was at that moment I remembered he was born in 2000. My joints immediately were filled with sand.
The 90s will always be 10 years ago in my brain.
Are you in your 30s/40s?
I’ve noticed that there seems to be a time anchoring that happens around your formative years which is why most people think 10 years ago = high school || college age - 10.
We existed in a different millennium.
If you are born 1999 and live until 101, you have lived through three centuries and two millennia
my grandfather was born in 1899 and wanted to make it to 2000
That’s a really shitty year to be born and I bet your grandfather had an intense life.
I don’t know really as I only knew him as an old man. He did not make it but he came close. He grew up in ireland to so he saw some massive technological change.
You can barely fathom the changes he must have witnessed
If you were born in the 90s there’s a real solid chance you’ll see the 2100s, longevity escape velocity baybee
Same with 2000 kids. The new millennium started Jan 1st 2001.
This is the way.
Born in 2000? Why are 10 year olds on here
I always love that the older I get, that the younger and younger these actors that used to seem super mature look.
“Hes just a man, no older than my friend Gary, who’s around my age now that I think about it”
Mr Sunday Movies, is that you?
For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.
Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.
BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor’s name is Peter Allas and I couldn’t find his birthday.
1990 was about 10 years ago
Same. In highschool when we made pedo jokes it was about people born in 2003, and now they’ve been adults for 2 years
how could 2010 be 6 years ago when 2000 was 10 years ago?
Joke’s on you - 2010 is still a decade away!
Wasn’t 2010 just two years ago?
I almost swear I could go digging in my closet and find the comically oversized Osiris skate shoes I had in high school in 2010
