I just read a sentence that referred to “the decades since” 2005 and I feel personally attacked.

@benroyce @overholt „what dinosaur did you have to ride for school?“ my brother was asked by his son.

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@overholt What? It's only been two.

@overholt I dated a personal experience to "just after the fall of the Berlin wall" the other day, and have since crumpled into dust and bones

@benroyce
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 I liked her better when she just sang, dayum...

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

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@DebC

it's ok

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

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

@benroyce Now I feel like my Grandparents when I said that's sooo old ..
they were born in the 1800s.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@hindsight damn!

[spitfire@mastodon.de]

@benroyce @overholt you can watch the soul leaving this poor man's body. Damn those kids don't take no prisoners

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@spitfire @overholt kids will look at you for 3 seconds and then say the most vicious shit. It's their super power. No filter

I’m a good bit older than him ( my son turns 30 soon) but my Dad was 40 when I was born, & his Dad was 31 when he was born.

My Grandfather was born before the Wright brothers flew, and even before there was a single gasoline powered car in the US, and that seems crazy to me.
