That one’s already come and gone lol
As someone born in 2000: No cause that day will not come.
Year 2000 is 20th century. 21st century started on January 1st, 2001.
I know this, yet I still celebrated the new century/Millenium with the rest of humanity on Jan 1st, 2000.
It’s just aesthetically more pleasing to conveniently ignore the technicality.
i don’t like that, so i will forget i ever read it
Well, technically this was still the XX century

Fuck you for making me having an existential crisis right now.
61 for me…if I can remember this
For me, it was the year I turned 22. At that point I was older than both parents when they had me. I realized how incompetent i was, and how little life I had lived, completely incapable of raising a human. My parents sacrificed a shit load just for me to be alive, and did their best in the time they were born into, and all the external forces at work on a young mind, and the choices at hand. I still don’t have kids lol.
I don’t know how long ago that was for you, but I hope you don’t feel like that anymore.
FWIW 22 seems awful young to be having kids.
re: 22 - totally agree, we waited another decade and I think were just barely ready even then. I have peers that had kids at 18 and they’re graduating college, that blows my mind.
My ex and I were 22 when we had ours. There’s good and bad to it
whoa interesting observation. I’m coming up on this, if I read right. Born in 76 - so 24 years before and after…
I’d be over 180.
You were born in 1910?
No, early 2000s
32 was a birthday I looked forward to. It was the point where I had known my wife for half of my life.
For some reason, 48 didn’t seem significant.
Four more years… I’ll keep that in mind
My birthday a few years ago, I realized I had lived exactly half of my life before 9/11 and half after 9/11.
Then I got depressed because from that point forward, the majority of my existence would be in a post 9/11 world.
