    Other ways to feel old:

    • Smells Like Teen Spirit came out in 1991, just 22 years after the moon landing. As of now, it’s been 34 years since its release.
    • Back to the Future came out in 1985, which is 40 years ago, and only 30 years from 1955.
    • The Matrix is a 1999 film. It was old enough to drink… five years ago.
    • Alex Warren, who is currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hadn’t yet reached one year old on 9/11.
    • The video game Doom came out in 1993. Pac-Man came out in 1980. 13 years between the games. But it’s been 32 years since Doom.

    Should I go on?

      You’re wrong. It’s an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.

        You’re correct. The 90s has always been and will always be ten years ago.

      On average the entire human population turns over every 120 years.

      Everyone alive today wasn’t here 120 years ago

      Everyone alive today won’t be alive in 120 years

      The modern human species is about 60,000 years old … we’ve only been technologically modern in the past 150 years, geologically speaking, we’re still cavemen.

    If Back to the Future we’re remade today, he’d be going back in time to 1995.

    I’d like to see a remake of Back to the Future just so we can have a scene where Doc Brown refuses to believe Donald Trump will be president.

      Even better: Make the alternate timeline a utopia with doc Brown saying he hasn’t had time to analyze the differences and leave it at that. Throughout the movie have framed portraits of Bernie Sanders ifrom 1995 n the background of any scene indoors.

    If Back to the Future were made today, Marty would be going back to the year 1995 instead of 1955.

    The release of “1985” by Bowling for Soup was closer to actual 1985 than we are to its release.

    Almost as if the 50’s were being plagued by the same dumb rich out of touch assholes from the 1920s and it caused some ~trickle down~ issues for society down the line in the 90s. Turns out 35 years ain’t that long of a time in the grand scheme of things.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
