Doesn't help that I keep thinking 2010 was like 6 years ago.

The 90s will always be 10 years ago in my brain.
- We existed in a different millennium.
  
  If you are born 1999 and live until 101, you have lived through three centuries and two millennia
  
  Same with 2000 kids. The new millennium started Jan 1st 2001.
- Are you in your 30s/40s?
  I've noticed that there seems to be a time anchoring that happens around your formative years which is why most people think 10 years ago = high school || college age - 10.
- This is the way.

I was speaking to someone at a party and for some reasons the topic of 9/11 came up and they mentioned they weren't born when it happened so I just stopped talking to them.

how could 2010 be 6 years ago when 2000 was 10 years ago?
- And somewhere in there 2020 was 10 years long...
  
  Man what even was 2020 lol

Born in 2000? Why are 10 year olds on here

2018 still feels like 2 years ago for me 😩

I always love that the older I get, that the younger and younger these actors that used to seem super mature look.

There's a neat little video I stumbled across recently that explains this phenomenon rather well! https://youtube.com/shorts/GLViYl-AdXQ?si=8WLzfZkWDkflL1T4

"Hes just a man, no older than my friend Gary, who's around my age now that I think about it"
- Mr Sunday Movies, is that you?
  
  Seeing this meme has set me on a Mr Sunday Movies binge. I'd been off them for a bit since they were mostly covering things I wanted to see and didn't want spoiled

For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.
Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.
BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor's name is Peter Allas and I couldn't find his birthday.

1990 was about 10 years ago

Same. In highschool when we made pedo jokes it was about people born in 2003, and now they've been adults for 2 years

I almost swear I could go digging in my closet and find the comically oversized Osiris skate shoes I had in high school in 2010

Wasn't 2010 just two years ago?
