Other Taking Psychic Damage (A.K.A 'Wait, that's HOW old?')

[Edythir]

I propose a fun game for one and all to play, mostly because I am old and love causing psychic damage to my friends. The rules are simple, name one thing people thing is either not so long ago, or longer ago than people realize just to make everyone feel the inexorable march of time. I'll go first.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park (2000) is older today than Thriller was in 2005 (1982).

Kingdom Hearts is 23 years old.

Finding Nemo is of a legal drinking age in America. Shrek is 2 years older.

The first MCU movie (Iron Man) is of legal voting age next year (In the same vein, children who were born after the financial crash can legally vote).

They no longer teach operating computers or typing class in schools any more

Blockbuster was the best way to get movies

Arcades was how you learned to play fighting games
- A whole cabinet was hard countered by a single stick of gum

If you were born pre 1993 you are older than the World Wide Web domain

The second generation of Pokemon was only in 1999

When somebody doesn't know what a landline is

Another fun one for y'all. Overwatch 1 is currently as old as Final Fantasy 7 was when the Playstation 3 released.
