New Year celebrations for 2000 didn't happen, I guess.
Simultaneous New Year's celebrations 2000 didn't happen. There are these things called time zones...
You're disqualifying a day of celebration shared by every human being on the planet because it wasn't perfectly synchronized? And somehow an obituary is supposed to get more people to celebrate? And no other similar obituaries or end of war announcements count? lmao okay
simultaneous - adjective - occurring, operating, or done at the same time
Okay, and I guess nobody gave a shit about Hitler offing himself. Orange man is that bad.
It is amazing how many people don't understand what "simultaneous" means and how different that cellphone in your pocket is than 1945 radio.
You post in bad faith.
You literally make up your own definition for a common word and are utterly clueless regarding communication technology, therefore my post is in "bad faith"?
Checked your post history and whew, what a stink. You aren't even worth responding to. Go piss in the wind.
First, you are applying 2026 standards for what a "simultaneous global event" entails to events from 1999 or 1945. Second, you do so with zero awareness of how stupid you sound to someone in the future with their brainchip synced to the G-Meta Tikverse brought to you by Carl's Jr. Third, when combined you sound like a techbro high on your own farts, disregarding the shared experiences of those from the past.
Speak for yourself. Here in Aussie land I had enough Peruvian marching powder to do all the celebrations!

people didn't celebrate for hours beforehand
