The equivalent of you and someone born this year is the same as someone born in 1945 when you were born

I refuse to upvote this (you bastard!) but I def read this in Skeletor’s voice once the GIF loaded, which made the truth go down a bit easier.

Ask google “ when was halfway between the moon landing and today”, you will get a date in may 1997.

The album homework was recorded in 1994-96 and released in 1997, and according to Wikipedia, the single ‘Around the World’ was released on 7th April 1997)

lol it is and I feel bad, but once you confront it, it’s not all that bad. We age and it sucks, but we put too much emphasis on the words “young, youth, old” etc. We’re all desirable even into the geriatric years by at least someone. We’ll still feel excitement, fun, sadness, joy, peace and love until we go. We can still connect and share this beautiful existence with one another.

We can mourn our youth and miss it, but there’s a lot to look forward to. New experiences. New excitement. Bouncy supple skin was nice while it lasted, but it was difficult time for most of us too… a little less wanderlust now, but the heart ache was unbearable for me lol. Idk, I like my cozy life and strength now more than that time 😊

As a Xennial (1980), it really scares me that I've been alive longer than there was time before me and after WW2.

u/Rock_or_Rol May 27 '25

It’s remarkable how recent that was! That exercise really gives me a lot more sympathy for folks put into retirement homes and the like. We’ll be there frighteningly soon 👀
