@aronow

If anyone else would like a Metamucil shooter, I’m lining up shots at the bar.

@aronow They have to be doing this on purpose. 😭
@rainbowdarling we took away their tide pods as children and this is their revenge 
@aronow I graduated from college a few years before the date mentioned in that post.
@aronow I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
@aronow @sennoma I'm from the 1900s *and* knew people who were born in the 1800s.
@aronow in antique terms , I'm "mid-century modern" lol
@aronow My father and I used to take the wagon into town to get zip disks so we had enough data for the winter.
@unicodesnowman @aronow Well, hark at her, Miss Fancy Zip Pants! Me and my seventeen siblings used to fight over who got first crack at the storage mine’s vein of Clik! disks, after we dug through miles and miles of worthless LS-120s 😭
@unicodesnowman @samloonie @aronow Never underestimate the bandwidth of an oxcart full of Zip discs loping down the trail.
@aronow It still baffles me that I have been on this earth more than two quarter centuries now.

@aronow one of the very few ways to turn this Elder Millennial into an old man complaining about "the kids today"

Compared to the first time I read that, I've still not recovered

@aronow
The **late** 1900's... 😭
@aronow I would have cited Pythagoras, but he didn't bother to use DOIs.
@TestUser42 @aronow So make one up! It's not like his TAs and graduate students will track you down and file a complaint...
@aronow my first paper is from 1994 🫣
@aronow The I would have thought the 1900s mean 1900-1909...

@aronow

I said to my students recently, "It's like when Doc Brown says to Marty, 'Where we're going, we don't need roads.'" They all just sat there, blinking at me. "Marty McFly?" I said. "Back to the Future? Anyone seen it?"

Not one hand went up.

With utter sincerity, I told them, "We have failed you."

@aronow
Me citing papers from 1890x: What cut off?

@aronow ugh…..

Going for blood I see this morning….

💀

@aronow And we wonder why those who think of the late 1990's as ancient history are not offended when called "Nazis" or "fascists." (Recently celebrated my 45th birthday for the second time. )

@aronow

>late 90s
>says 1994
>I remember the election between Clinton and Bob Dole the year prior

;-;

@aronow this person (as in the person in the student email) is speaking about the 1900s like it's the 1800s
@aronow I sometimes tease my kid by telling him he was born in the "previous millennium"
