    @benroyce @overholt And Jesus? And dinosaurs! History takes so much time to pick apart and ‘old’ is definitely relative!

      Teacher: Yes.

      Student: "Williams and Jones' landmark paper in 1999 stated..."

      Teacher: 😳

              @benroyce @MissConstrue @TheBreadmonkey @overholt Student doing a internship in the company I was.
              We: talking about driving. I remembered when I just had my first car to hit the mirror of a parking car, and searching the next hour for a functioning phone box to report to the police.
              Him "oh you forgot your mobile phone"
              Me: There was not a thing as mobile phones then.
              Him "Come on, you are not THAT old"

                          This is when you let them hear the best jams from your time and they have to admit they were better back then...in the 1900s..

                          Oh wait, your best jams are from the oughties not the 90s? Fuck I'm old.

                                      @benroyce @overholt Am I crazy? "The 1900s" always meant to me, the years from 1900 to 1910—now it means the whole 20th century?

                                        it's ok

                                        after this age of chatterbox brutality comes the era of the monosyllabic teenager 😆

                                          @TheBreadmonkey @benroyce @overholt "People born in the late 1900s" has a certain sting to it.

                                          I liked to refer to my 1998 Honda as a turn-of-the-century vehicle.
