Late 1900s

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 😅
Not what you asked, but I find turn of the century most jarring.
- Turn of the millennium?

I love to say “before the turn of the century” when referring to stuff like 1997.

In the late millennium

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.
- 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.
- I can still hear the dialup tone in my brainnnnnnn
- 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.
- I first played Doom in 1995. And SimCity 2000. It indeed feels like 10 years ago.
- 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.
- Since this was true when I was in primary school, it'll always be seared into my brain. I mean, I realized this when I was learning to count and spell, of course it's saved as one of the most basic facts of life. Like, 4+4=8, 90s are 10 years ago 70s are 30 years ago etc was stuff learned at the same time, so it's like it's saved in a similar way.

If this was a CS major, 1994 might as well be Antiquity

I read CS papers from the late '80s/early '90s and it feels like unearthing cuneiform tablets. Lots of good ideas, just everything felt so raw and new.
- I was just reading the first paper on TCP Vegas (TCP congestion avoidance protocol) and the tests were done with bandwidths of "over 100 Kbps" over the internet. Feels almost unreal.
You guys remember when Sony made tiny handheld AM radios?

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?

Kids these days will be easy prey for the Goblin King.
- They are just one brick in the wall....
Nickelback is classic rock.
- My local classic rock station classifies "classic rock" as released >25 years ago. They play Green Day fairly regularly now
- 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.
Bowie died in 2016. Is your clan mate like 14?
- Four years ago, got it.
- He got to 15 this year...

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....

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.
- The Bernstein bears is proof.
- Yo this is making too much sense and I’m not even high

I'll just be over here checking into an assisted living home. Don't mind me.

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.

This is incredible

Wow

I mean the 1700s is 1700-1799 so it's just consequential

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."

Literally 10 years too late.
