A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I'm currently going through the junior year of my high school, that was 20 years ago exactly. It has been 22 years since my favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, had finally broken their Curse of the Bambino in 2004. The Harry Potter main book series ended 19 years ago while the film series ended 15 years ago.

When young people started to wear slim jeans. You would have been bullied for wearing such a thing when I was young.

Then a few months later when they started to wear 80s jeans again. Fashion changes every five minutes it seems.

I have shirts that have gone in and out of style three times, according to people who pay attention to such things.

everything. all sorts of media and such seems like just a bit ago and its measured in decades.

In a few months Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released. GTA5 came out in 2013. The time difference between the release of GTA6 and GTA5 is about the same as the time difference between GTA5 and the turn of the millennium.

I can't believe we got existential dread from comparing GTA release dates before we got GTA6.

Was looking up one hit wonders and there was a grouping of them that my best friend in high school had burned onto a CD for me....

Twenty years ago.
