This is incredible
I’ll just be over here checking into an assisted living home. Don’t mind me.
And how kind of you to share that with us here. On Lemmy. That skews older.
(sad) lmao
Hey now, 1995 will always be 10 years ago. Always.
I can still hear the dialup tone in my brainnnnnnn
My tinnitus can negotiate a V.92 handshake.
were it not so sad… that’d be impressive…
nrmally tinnitus is a constant sine wave right? I’m lucky that mine is only audible at a noise floor of “super quiet” (my dB meter crapped out on me a while back and I’ve not had the money to replace it sadly)
Good news is that if dial-up tinnitus is real, my other comment was only plausible by lucky coincidence. Got a little of the standard variety like what you’re talking about (just enough to make me care about good PPE moving forward) and thought it’d be an interesting consequence of tech exposure for old geeks.
can confirm that it’s a constant sine wave, at least for me.
i blew myself up by accident a month ago, and while my left ear has fully recovered my right one wasn’t so lucky. lost all hearing above like 10kHz (which isnt really noticeable, especially with my left ear still being good on frequencies), and i also now have some very minor tinnitus there. ironically if i had to guesstimate the frequency of my tinnitus it would be around 12 kHz, which is past my hearing range, though it can change briefly because of external stimuli.
I first played Doom in 1995. And SimCity 2000. It indeed feels like 10 years ago.
I finally was able to readjust my brain into believing 1995 was longer than 10 years ago. I’m now convinced it was 20 years ago.
This is borderline acceptable.
I was born in 96. I’ll be turning 30 next year
Damn, I’ve got the heaviest drinking pattern of any 10 year old you ever seen then.
Funny how time works.
- 1995 was ten years ago.
- 1997 was three years ago.
- Every year of the 80s was 20 years ago.
- 2010 was 10 years ago.
- 2016 was two years ago.
- 2018 was two years ago.
- 2019 was one year ago.
- 2020 lasted for six years, but ended three months into the year.
- 2021-2022 didn’t happen.
- 2023 ended just a few weeks ago.
- 2024 still hasn’t ended. We also invented time travel. Consequently:
- 2025 apparently started in the 1960s, and rapidly progressing towards the 1940s.
Everything before 9/11 is fake news.
Computers, never invented.
AIDs and the cure for it, never happened.
Bill Clinton, I mean cmon, doesn’t fucking exist.
I’m old enough to remember when they were making all this stuff up. Like 2 whole world wars, yeah, right.
9/11/2001 is the date the simulation was turned on. Everything prior to that is just programmed memories and fabricated history.
Yo this is making too much sense and I’m not even high
The Bernstein bears is proof.
You spelt that wrong, mate.
That’s the joke. And the proof.
I personally remember it being spelt that way, but every book I’ve seen recently is spelt stain… something fucky happened with timelines.
I know, I was playing along.
I’ve also seen pictures of it being spelt in both different ways, and they both looked genuine. No idea if they were or clever fakes though
I love to say “before the turn of the century” when referring to stuff like 1997.
In the late millennium
Wow
I mean the 1700s is 1700-1799 so it’s just consequential
I always wondered what would happen if you cite an original source of something we consider common sense now. What would nature say if you use conservation of momentum and cite Isaac Newton and the Principia Mathematica.
What if you quote something in latin. For most of science history this was completely normal.
From now on, when someone asks how old I am, I’m going to say I was born in the late 1900s
“Oh, no, not that late, actually.”
Or at the late 20th Century…
Look at this youngling, I was born in the previous millennium
Doesn’t work, “20th century” as a term is synonymous with “modern”. “The xx00s” is automatically “a long time ago”.
Is the final paper on the events of the early 1900’s? I feel like we need a bit more context…
“Actually, 1994 is the only year that is excluded in this history course.”

Oof size: big.
I had to translate German papers to English. Not necessarily because I’m that old, but they were the only ones that had the information I needed. Although most of my research was based on stuff in the 90’s…
Which sounds worse:
- From the late 1900s
- From last century
From last millenium.
“1900s” makes me think they’re referring to the decade of 1900-1909 😅

They aren’t? “Late 1900s” would be the latter 3rd of the century. 1994 would be in that latter third, so they are using it correctly.
Early 1990s would be more appropriate wording 😂
I get what you’re saying, but both work in this case, yours is just more precise. We’ve just lived in the late 1900s so it feels weird to lump the years we’ve experienced in with 900+ that we haven’t. But if someone says “late 1800s” for something like 1894, it wouldn’t feel weird at all.
Maybe, but when I hear late 1800s I assume they mean 1809ish 😅
Not what you asked, but I find turn of the century most jarring.
Turn of the millennium?
That’s stings, but not quite as much as century as with that my brain now has to go through the process of determining which century when it never had to before.
you never learnt about stuff that took place a bit after the industrial revolution?
Century has that human element because “last century” is where old people are from. You wouldn’t meet people from the last millennium, but you know people from the last century. It’s 100 years, that’s a lifetime. Implying that you’re from the “last” one means you’re not from “this” one. Aka, ancient.
Today in Warframe a new character dropped he is a rockstar. One guy from my clan asked me “Do you know who David Bowie is? He is kind of an old rock legend…” Bruh I’m 40 WTF?
Bowie died in 2016. Is your clan mate like 14?
Four years ago, got it.
He got to 15 this year…
Nickelback is classic rock.
This one gets me, as when I learned of the concept of “classic rock”, Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” had just came out and was playing non-stop on the “newest hits” radios.
I used to be a huge motorhead fan. One day i bought the “new” album and didn’t really like it. I still listend to the band, but less and less, and never bought a new album. To me, that is still the new album when i think about motorhead. That album is now 20 something years old.
My local classic rock station classifies “classic rock” as released >25 years ago. They play Green Day fairly regularly now
Kids these days will be easy prey for the Goblin King.
They are just one brick in the wall…
