    @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net @forestine@sunny.garden I need a new benchmark for feeling old. I used to enjoy pointing out that Kurt Cobain’s death is closer in history to the Beatles’ first performance on Ed Sullivan as it is to today, but that’s only painful for GenX folks. I do still like how the release of the Nintendo 64 is closer to the first moon landing than it is to today though.

    @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net Twice my kid's age ago was before the US invaded Iraq. Twice my own age ago, war was raging across the globe. Twice my father's age ago, New York City annexed the Bronx.

  • @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net I still think it’s weird that “millennial” refers to people who were adults before 2000

    @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net Especially if you take the position that WWII ended in 1991.
