The way my brain works:

@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]

[midnitemikewrites@zirk.us]

@Natasha_Jay Get out of my head.

[davidbcohen@twit.social]

@btuftin @Natasha_Jay No, it’s an old car.

[evanwolf@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay and we're closer to 2050 than 2000.

@Twotired @Natasha_Jay @janwwbosch

i started doing this about five years ago and still do it constantly.

i will see something happened (past tense) in like 2024, and i'll think to myself "but 2024 is like 4 years from now"

or i'll see the age of an actor who i think is way, way younger than me and i'll think "oh that's not right, that person is in their 20s" reader, that person is 37

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@Natasha_Jay yeah that's about the same for me

All I know is I wish 2020 would end. It's been six years!
