I miss the 90s. 😞
You can tell OP is a teenager when they think 35 is old. Don’t you have a bedtime, little bro?
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.
The tax rate in the 50s was 90% or more depending on the year.
The release of “1985” by Bowling for Soup was closer to actual 1985 than we are to its release.
The release of “1985” by bo burnham though…
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.
Ronald Reagan, the actor?!
Like the Sly Stallone comment in demolition man about the Schwarzenegger library.
In retrospect, the standard of what seemed ridiculous and over-the-top at the time was a bit higher.
Idiocracy isn’t even remotely funny nowadays, it’s genuinely just very anxiety inducing now. And it’s honestly too fucking positive. A government actually trying to fix issues? Yeah, right.
I’d like to see a remake of The United States of America where Donald Trump is never the president.
The allure of fantasy
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.
I did nothing to you and yet you attack me on a personal level?!
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 can go on away from here with your personal attacks.
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.
Your content is entertaining but you are a dick.
I… can’t dispute that.
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.
This relevant XKCD is a teenager now
Ouch. Guess I deserved that inevitable retaliation.
The future scenes in Back to the Future II take place ten years in the past.
Oof
I was having a good day
Sorry, I’ll make up for it with this weird music video that wishes you a nice day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mkiGMtbrPM
Hope it helps.
Well, fuck you too
Listen here you little shit…
In 2060s, people look back at the good old days of 2020s. Doomscrolling, AI generated images, brainrot, existential dread, LLMs, those were the days…
Wait. There’ll still be people around in 2060?
You could be there too. Are you good at surviving through famine or avoiding violent people?
In 2060, people will curse the people of 2020 who did almost nothing to mitigate climate change.
Maybe. Or the propaganda will have been so successful that nobody will discuss climate change because that’s just the way things are.
Nah, by then we will be living in underground cave cities. Machines will control the devastated surface
Atleast we have internet and visible stars
We’re working on those. Just a little bit more tyrannical dictatorship and a whole lot more smoke should do the trick.
My dad was born in 1955. My oldest brother was born in 1990.
This is fucking with me
I was born in 1973. My grandfather was born in 1892 !
My oldest brother was born in 1990.
This is fucking with me
35 is not a reasonable age to become a parent? Is a bit older than it used to be.
That is how time works
I know how time works … I just don’t want to reminded of it … (now my back hurts … again)
If Back to the Future were made today, Marty would be going back to the year 1995 instead of 1955.
And Marty would be 57 years old
NO ITS NOT SHUT UP
LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA
