u/Kasoni 1d ago
Im 40, and i have some memories of the 80s. Not a lot, but the house i lived in until 1993 for sure, and many events around there, and 2 different schools. I do find talking about memories from that far back most people have few to none besides general things like "we had this cool pine tree that had it's top cut out but it grew back like a thron 10 feet off the ground" type things.

I am 42, i dont have any memories of the 80's. In fact, i don't gave any memories of last week.
You need to get a checkup. Might be something wrong with you with those "imaginary" memories.

I was also born in 91 and was under the impression I was still in my 30s . Did I lose a decade somewhere?

Does 2025 minus 1991 equal 45? No but it's close enough. Feel it. This way you will be ready when it does.

If their IQ was above their age, they would have at least realised it around 2000 why it can’t be 36

If you look at a keyboard numpad, the numbers 36 is to to the left of 25. So there was an attempt to type in 25.

Whew. Maybe I am getting old. I read, read, and reread that top line. I guess I assumed the sub was the millennial sub maybe? 🤔consumed with feeling absolutely mad, as I was born in 82, and am definitely 43… and then I saw the title and sub. lol.

Even if you make a 10 year mistake (subtraction is hard), why add another year? You are either 1 year younger or equal to the difference
