The way my brain works:

1970 was 30 years ago
1980 was 20 years ago
1990 was 10 years ago
1995 was 10 years ago
2000 was 10 years ago
2010 was 10 years ago
2015 was 5 years ago
2017 never happened
2018 was two years ago
2019 was last year
2020 was also last year
2021 was a few months ago

@Natasha_Jay

Did 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 not all merge into 2020?

[masukomi@connectified.com]

@Natasha_Jay 🧐 That checks out.

[natasha_jay@tech.lgbt]

@janwwbosch
Pretty much

2026 so far never happened

[nrdufour@gardenstate.social]

@Natasha_Jay Ehehe time is strange, isn't it In fact, it seems time doesn't even exist physically speaking and only the present really is

[pilum@fedi.j1nk4l.com]

@Natasha_Jay This has been my brain ever since I was born (older millennial).

[rich@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Natasha_Jay gosh - so much this, yes!

You are me.

@RachelThornSub
I vaguely remember as a kid in about 1974 wondering what 2000 would be like! Halcyon days.

[zombiecide@polyglot.city]

@Natasha_Jay mine
1990 'when I was a kid'
2000 'a long time ago'
2005-near present 'wasn't that a few months ago?'

[tryberg@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay that is so relatable

[heathermj@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay
I think my brain works the same way

[peterpractice@toot.community]

@Natasha_Jay Mine: anything that happened in the past is “recently”. I must be older than you.

[btuftin@social.coop]

@Natasha_Jay I was born in '75 and have the same scale, but today I experienced a weird reversal when someone mentioned a car being over 50 years old and I immediately thought "oh, so the eighties". I hope it's not a brain tumor.

[ellenb@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay I see nothing wrong here.

[mercurial@todon.nl]

@Natasha_Jay a lot of the time I’ll just randomly write 2012

[dusk@todon.eu]

@Natasha_Jay

Fair. Time is weird.

I recall the duration of 2020 feeling like many years.

[boxofawesome@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay Everything checks out here xD

[stevenray@sfba.social]

@Natasha_Jay sounds about right.

I won't ask about 2017

[chickpeapole@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay Finally an accurate representation of how time actually works!
