Shrek...?

Really?

That's what you mark 2001 by???

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

What else would they use? Tomb Raider?

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

... Or what happened the very next day.

[–] beernutz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I thought that was more of an issue with bad accounting software, not simply "missing" money.

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 1 day ago (2 children)

The release of super smash Bros melee.

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

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

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

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

“Would you like to accept a collect call from HEY MOM CAN YOU COME PICK ME UP”

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

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm sorry I'm old, too

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

I'm 22, no idea what it is

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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.

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 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is such a perfect metaphor, I may have to steal it.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Ha, guess you're not a LotR fan then. It's one of the phrases from the book that folks quote often, I think mainly tongue in cheek, because it's phrased a little funny. But it definitely carries meaning for sure.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, kids that I taught in kindergarten have now graduated. It's definitely strange.

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

Something else happened in 2001

Nothing as significant as Shrek though

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

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

[–] zipsglacier@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day 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.

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.
