Mirishuli@Viss OMG. OH MY. I was born in 1960. I’m so last century!
Ray—Golden Retriever Whisperer—🔝Insights@MiriShuli @Viss 1962, I feel this
Scott Miller 🇺🇦 🇺🇸@zarchasmpgmr @MiriShuli @Viss The majority of our lives were spent in that ancient time known as the 1900s. 😑
marza@MiriShuli @Viss even worse... Last millienium!!! 🤣😂
Tony Gallagher@Viss i read this as 1990’s originally and was like “that’s fine” oh god it’s so much worse. The only way it could of aged me more is if they had said “at the end of the last century”
Eric Lawton@EricLawton @Viss I think I just turned to dust like the bad guy from the last crusade.

エラン履恵 • Elán Rie 💉x9@Viss I'm sure this isn't intentional on your part, but I feel punked by the ALT icon on the original post XD
@niji_limbo yeah, the 'gif' tag on twitter used to piss me off too cuz it kept getting in the way of text
Oblomov@Viss @niji_limbo I think it's more the fact that the original post has alt text for accessibility, yours doesn't 8-P
Titia Schuurman@niji_limbo @oblomov @Viss BTW the first people to use alt text were researchers of ancient Germanic writings. Take it from me.
Dr. Fortyseven 🥃 █▓▒░@Viss Hard to even wrap my head around 2000 to 2023 is literally the same as 1900 to 1923. I mean, yes, it's just simple math. But my god actually _living it_ is unreal.
Don't even get me started at how that would mean I was born in 1876.
**decays into dust**
apophis@fortyseven @Viss i remember when i first started looking up authors who were making commentary on obvious 20th-century modern phenomena and never ceasing to be surprised when their DOB starts with an 18... i think the rats digging up our bones (who for whatever reason are using CE or even AD years) would somehow unconsciously assume that "millennials" were people born in 2000 and people born before then were the "boomers" who rebelled against the new "internet" technology

Whenever there's a reference to century years like "1900s" or "2000s" there's an immediate question of what the bracket is. The final digit or pair of digits (probably).

@Viss in fairness to the student, aren't there some topics with cutoffs for sources that may be out of date? but also, i think it's quite possible the student is flexing their youth on the prof.
p.s. i just noticed the professor's username and now i think even more that the student was flexing.

Tom Czarniecki@Viss ugh, I feel that thud in my soul
@Viss Please could you post alt text so that visually impaired people know what in the image you've used you're agreeing with? Thanks.

I will never recover from this student email.
Good afternoon Professor Penniman,
Hope you had a great break! I was wondering if it would be acceptable to use sources from the late 1900's for our final paper (I found an interesting paper from 1994). Is there a cut off date of publication? See you tomorrow,

mercurial idiot@Viss I thought it was 1800s and read it again... wow... I mean I'm probably their age but PLEASE 1994 is not THAT long ago!
@writeblankspace 1994 was like . 8th grade for me i think. but this is how i feel now:

BenderIsGreat34@Viss shots fired.
AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️That's honestly a good question. Depending on the field, a 30 year old paper can be woefully out of date, and most likely wrong given modern knowledge.
Krišs@atatassault @Viss it appears that Mr. Penniman is a historian of Christianity (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnpenniman/), so "late 1900's" is most likely just fine in his field.

Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐@Viss Research that old might be of limited value at this point.
@gcvsa there are people now who exist that have never heard a dialtone and do not know what it is - and the fucking grocery store is playing green day and third eye blind.
linear time is stupid.
@Viss grocery stores tend to tailor their background music to the people most likely to spend money, and that’s people in their 40s. When I started hearing “my music” in the supermarket, I knew I was the target market.
@gcvsa 90s music is now referred to as 'oldies', and the jncos (i still have one pair!) are 'vintage'.
