Yes, I just shot you all over the internet, what are you gonna do about it?
Wait... Shrek came out 24 years ago? Not five?
Welp, looks like I got more than one foot in the grave.

Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Shrek...?
Really?
That's what you mark 2001 by???
What else would they use? Tomb Raider?
How about September 10th, when 2.3 Trillion dollars were announced missing...
... Or what happened the very next day.
I thought that was more of an issue with bad accounting software, not simply "missing" money.
Easy to suspect it neither.
They were also not announced on the tenth, they were mentioned on the tenth, after being announced in February 2020
That movie crashed box office records and left a giant crater where Disney princess movies used to be. What else that year could be more impactful?
The release of super smash Bros melee.
Fuckin A.
Winner
For me it is trippy to know that all the little kids I looked after when I was 20 are now 20 themselves.
Yeah, kids that I taught in kindergarten have now graduated. It's definitely strange.
I did my first babysitting gigs at age 13, in 2002.
I vividly remember playing dolls with my neighbor’s daughter. She just had her first baby about a month ago.
Sometimes I forget how old I am. Then I do something like “going too long without eating,” or “sleeping on the same side for too long” and it’s like my body full-on revolts against me. Sigh.
I feel you. I'm born in '87, but I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
That is such a perfect metaphor, I may have to steal it.
Ha, guess you're not a LotR fan then. It's one of the phrases from the book that folks quote often, I think mainly tongue in cheek, because it's phrased a little funny. But it definitely carries meaning for sure.
Wait till our descendants will refer to 90s as ancient times of the Internet.
My 11yo asked me if I was born in "the nineteen's"... Yes child, some of the people from that era are still alive today.
I remember the 1900s
Vampire spotted. 🙃
Pfft that was barely 10 years ago
The new grads at work already do this. Bunch of gen zs who categorize themselves by who was both in the 90 vs 00s
Kid at work doesn't know what a collect call is.
Bruh I barely do and I'm a 25 year old techy. I'm sorry, you're old.
I'm sorry I'm old, too
I'm 22, no idea what it is
Once upon a time, instead of putting a quarter into a payphone you could dial 1-800-collect (there were many options) and after that call someone else and make them pay for the call instead.
The kids might not know what a “payphone” is either.
“Would you like to accept a collect call from HEY MOM CAN YOU COME PICK ME UP”

I only know it from American movies, because it was never a thing were I live.
