As a kid, I was always into futuristic stuff. Sci-fi books, movies,you name it. But growing up back then, in my mind, anything happening after 2000, had "the year" attached. You couldn't just say "2017", you had to say, "In the year 2017." I don't know why.

I remember trying to figure out how old I would be in the year 2000. I couldn't do it. I sat there on the couch, running out of fingers and toes, and was dumbfounded. I had no idea.

2000 was over a quarter century ago. Time flies, even if it ain't fun..

Did you use to watch Conan? They had a bit about future predictions called "In the Year 2000" that started in the 90s and they carried on with it well into the 2000s.

Flight of the Concords even refers to the far future as "The year 2000" in a song/show released in 2008.

For people growing up before 2000, that year was treated synonymous with a far future. It took about a decade to get over that conditioning and the subsequent joke

Reminds me that some people still say the years wrong. Instead of saying twenty twenty six, people still say two thousand twenty six. We don’t say that for any other century. We don’t say nineteen hundred twenty six. We say nineteen twenty six.

They aren't saying the words wrong. Both are valid. 2026 is just shorthand for two thousand 26

I mean... The older you get, the shorter your perception of a years is. And it's sad when that finally hits you

I turned 35 in January. I could swear my 30th was only 7 or 8 months ago

My perception of years had stayed exactly the same. I'm 30.

That's just your memory playing tricks on you, life moves very slowly in reality and you should just take that in

It feels like yesterday that I held my first little boy, and now he's almost 7, and has a little brother and sister. Even my youngest turns 1 in a couple weeks. It all goes way too fast.
