    I don’t understand how this is so accurate.

      Even after spending all this time in this thread and the original, I read your comment and literally thought, “but it is”… then I did the math. And I died.

    This isn’t all millennial exclusive. I thought we all collectively agreed 2020-2022 didn’t count. Right? I’m not actually three years older than I think I am. Right?

      No, probably not. You might be biologically older than that!

      Right?

      Right. All of 2020-2028, in fact. Or however long that took.

      And I heard we split the difference and we’re calling it 2025, now.

    Minor correction - i believe the consensus on 2020 is that it was a decade, and the longest decade ever at that.

    Otherwise yep checks out

    Gen X here.

    Can confirm relative time concepts. All the films/TV series I love were made in the 1980s or 90s regardless of when they were actually produced.

    Watched Ultimate Force (UK TV series) yesterday, made in the nineties but references 11 September 2001 and other events then in the future etc.

      Finally someone gets it. All I’m saying is that Burn Notice was ahead of its time! Regardless of what actual time has to say about it.

        😁

        I still don’t get how they knew about 11 September. Answers on a postcard.

        Personal hypothesis based on reality that everything I have experienced this century has been completely fucked!

    Well, given that 1970 was 30 years agod, this seems pretty reasonable.
