Unfun fact: In two days, the oldest video on YouTube, “Me at the zoo” by jawed (which is also the very first video uploaded to the platform by a public account), will be exactly 21 years old.
Ya, totally. It's such an odd thing. Like when does it become socially excepted? In the late 30s? I feel like 36 is a good start but i don't understand why i think that.

It’s hard to believe Skyrim is already 19 years old

The 90s were just 10 years ago.

So, when as a society do we drop the 20 in front? Like it's 26.

Like how they used to do in the late 1900s?

Yeah, I bet people will say "twenties" to mean 2020s on or before 2040.

The illusion of time can't escape from the black hole of 2020

I think COVID played a role in that

Recently got a video recommendation that said "20 yrs ago" and I seriously thought it was a bug before realising it's possible.

I had my first actual small internal crisis the other day where I felt brief but real panic, like I was drowning:
The Titan submersible is less than two months from its three-year implosionversary. Time stopped feeling real. Like, no, right? Surely no?

I've recently found a good way to estimate how long ago something was:
Guess a number of years, multiply by 2, add 4 if it was pre-covid.
I get it right suprisingly often.

I saw one of my favorites recently again after a friend quoted a phrase that made me remember it - and it's literally a comedy AMV from 19 years ago.
