@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!

[asweetgentleman@mstdn.social]

@Natasha_Jay Are you suggesting there's another way to think of that?

[strange_new_words@tenforward.social]

@Natasha_Jay ... and last week was 100 years ago.

[thebaywindowgirl@toot.wales]

@Natasha_Jay Accurate.

@Natasha_Jay

Ooh, yeah. I'm just a few years older than you, and this tallies.

But, getting serious for a moment, external things seem more recent than more personal things. Marvelling at the blossom on the flowering cherry trees on the street where I grew up — that feels more timeless, and therefore more recent, than my mother kneeling down and asking if I knew which year it was, because she passed away decades ago and I'm not the little boy I was then.

@Natasha_Jay 100% accurate

I typed a date this year as 2024 today..

[askpippa@c.im]

@Natasha_Jay It's amazing how often "we did that last year" was actually 9 or 10 years ago.
And "just a couple of years ago" is actually about 15-20 years ago.

[askpippa@c.im]

@Natasha_Jay @RachelThornSub The year 2000 was soooo far away from 1974. But 1974 was, what, about 20 years ago?

[abominabledrh@mastodon.ie]

@Natasha_Jay What? It's 1975, isn't it??

[robchapman@ohai.social]

@Natasha_Jay seems about right

[nickdrawthing@dice.camp]

My 2012 car is now three years old, and I'm cross the clearcoat is already flaking off in spots.

[cainmark@mstdn.social]

@Natasha_Jay

I'm in this toot and I don't like it.

[midnitemikewrites@zirk.us]
