Kid at work doesn't know what a collect call is.

Bruh I barely do and I'm a 25 year old techy. I'm sorry, you're old.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry I'm old, too

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm 22, no idea what it is

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Once upon a time, instead of putting a quarter into a payphone you could dial 1-800-collect (there were many options) and after that call someone else and make them pay for the call instead.

The kids might not know what a “payphone” is either.

I only know it from American movies, because it was never a thing were I live.

Nothing as significant as Shrek though

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Shrek...?

Really?

That's what you mark 2001 by???

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What else would they use? Tomb Raider?

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 9 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

How about September 10th, when 2.3 Trillion dollars were announced missing...

... Or what happened the very next day.

That movie crashed box office records and left a giant crater where Disney princess movies used to be. What else that year could be more impactful?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The release of super smash Bros melee.

Hey now, you might be an all star, but you gotta get your game on and go play.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'd rather be a rock star, got any advice for that?

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Get paid, my dude

[–] Ediacarium@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

the best advice that I ever got
Was from my sister's rock star boyfriend.

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you're living in a world that you don't understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band

For me it is trippy to know that all the little kids I looked after when I was 20 are now 20 themselves.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I did my first babysitting gigs at age 13, in 2002.

I vividly remember playing dolls with my neighbor’s daughter. She just had her first baby about a month ago.

Sometimes I forget how old I am. Then I do something like “going too long without eating,” or “sleeping on the same side for too long” and it’s like my body full-on revolts against me. Sigh.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I feel you. I'm born in '87, but I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

TranscriptionTweet by "average joe" @jazz_inmypants

there are children being born whose PARENTS were not alive when Shrek (2001) came out.. Crazy how the years start coming and they simply do not stop coming

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Wow. I remember seeing Shrek with my mom in 2001. I also saw Finding Nemo with her in theaters. I love my mom. I haven't given her any grandchildren though. To her dismay. But she loves me unconditionally. Moms are the best. No one understands love better than them.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Wait... Shrek came out 24 years ago? Not five?

Welp, looks like I got more than one foot in the grave.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s almost as if people grow older with time?

Who would have thought.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's the speed we perceive it that we're talking about, friendo. It just feels so recent

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Wait till our descendants will refer to 90s as ancient times of the Internet.

[–] zipsglacier@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

My 11yo asked me if I was born in "the nineteen's"... Yes child, some of the people from that era are still alive today.

The new grads at work already do this. Bunch of gen zs who categorize themselves by who was both in the 90 vs 00s
