As someone from the earlier late 1900s once sang:
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future!
You’re telling me it’s “shifting” and not “slipping”???
All my hours watching Space Jam was a lie
Gahhhh you’re right. Fuck. I’m getting too old to remember lyrics I’ve heard a million times correctly. So edited.
My childhood innocence has been restored! Lmao
What does this have to do with the fediverse?
Worse still: how come there are 24 people upvoting this crap?
People that don’t check what community a post came from on their home feed and just upvote it if they like it.
Full disclosure: that was me just now until I opened the comments, realized, then took it back. It’s very easy to miss sometimes
Yeah me too, I just figured I was in microblogmemes
Then you have communities like unpopular opinion that have you voting backwards. You really have to be paying attention to get it right. It’s not easy when you factor in all these things.
Because they don’t care what community it’s being posted from. Lemmy is so much smaller than reddit that you have to pull from everywhere to get sufficient content.
We do happen to be roughly a quarter of the way towards the next century, so this seems reasonable to me. Longer lived Gen Z will likely be able to see the turn of the 22nd century, after all.

But will there be anything to see left?
Assuming we can avoid triggering mutually assured destruction, probably.
I’m the other way around. Only people born before the year 2000 can be adults. Everyone born afterwards is permanently a child and shouldn’t be left alone without a babysitter.
I actually struggle with the same mental image. Anybody born after 2000 still goes to school in my mind.
I can’t describe the reaction I always have inside when I consciously realize that post-2000 kids can actually be adults. Not just because I realize how screwed my perception of time is but also because I suddenly feel old.

I’m in a similar boat: everyone under the age of 18 is a tiny baby and shouldn’t be out of the house yet.
Being born in the 80s, I was told I was born in the nineteen hundreds. It didn’t feel great.
But it is the late 1900s.
I’ve never heard anyone say this.
