Unfun fact: In two days, the oldest video on YouTube, “Me at the zoo” by jawed (which is also the very first video uploaded to the platform by a public account), will be exactly 21 years old.
Ya, totally. It's such an odd thing. Like when does it become socially excepted? In the late 30s? I feel like 36 is a good start but i don't understand why i think that.

I already do.
The illusion of time can't escape from the black hole of 2020
I think COVID played a role in that
I had my first actual small internal crisis the other day where I felt brief but real panic, like I was drowning:
The Titan submersible is less than two months from its three-year implosionversary. Time stopped feeling real. Like, no, right? Surely no?
