If you were born in 1983 or before, your birthday is closer to WWII than to today.
All due respect but you can fuck right off homoludens

We know. WWII was a pretty ever-present event in culture back then. Lots of movies and TV shows about it, and of course all of our grandparents fought in WWII.
Yup. My kids are learning about it in school, and they regard it about how we regarded the civil war. Like dude, that was really fucked up, but it was a long time ago.
Well it turns out it wasn’t that long ago, and now we’ve had an insurrection in your lifetime so, …probably some good lessons in there.
Why you do this
Mine is closer to WWI than to today, unless my aged brain has failed at math.
That one somehow isn’t as weird. I guess it’s because the 100 years since WW1 was fairly recently and obviously everyone who was over 50 at the time was born closer to WW1 than today.
I REALLY NEEDED THAT TODAY!
Fuck.
Ow…
How could you fucking do this
And for extra pain we are closer to 2050 than 1990
That can’t be true…
Aw hell no
We’ve passed the "Marty McFly came to this year date for existential dread and it was hilarious. Can’t wait for the year when we’re as far from the release of Austin Powers as the movie was from the wild 60s.
The first movie came out in 1997 and was set 30 years after he was frozen in 1967. So your scenario would be true in 4 years.
Thanks for checking wikipedia when I was too lazy to do so. ;)
Oh man, that’s going to be a weird milestone.
Maybe then we need a movie about a 90s spy trying to adjust to the late 2020s/early 2030s.
My guess this would be too depressing. Imahine going back to a world before 9/11, 2008, Trump, all that late-stage-capitalism and internet-fascists.
Not telling you about the good old times, it’s just: It’s been fucked up, y’all.
You know, I would watch an Austin Powers 4 where he is thawed out in the present, is caught up with current affairs, and then can’t cope. He just spends the rest of the movie depressed. Maybe he even kills himself. It wouldn’t be funny but I would watch it.
Legendary nickname.
If it makes you feel any better, I was born in 2004 and my brain does this shit too for some reason
I think it’s because I want to round the current year to 2000
I can confirm, I am born in 1970 and I am 33 years old (even if I always say 29 to everybody, every year is my 29yo again)
'71 here. OLD PERSON!
Lol I’m 36 and still converted to 1970s
Fuck… When I read that I jumped and almost dropped my fidget poker chips
I feel like other generations didn’t go through this. Even my parents have been shocked hearing about how long ago the star wars prequels came out, but didn’t react hearing how long it’s been for the originals.
It just feels so viscerally recent… My grandma saw cars come into common usage and people land on the moon, and she’ll say it’s wild how much the world has changed. But tell her Netflix started streaming close to two decades ago, and she’ll start laughing at the absurdity of the thought
Maybe time distorts as we approach the singularity
