@[email protected] I had this flipped on me one time.

I once made a change on a 6509 and the device went away, taking core network functions with it.

I freaked out, then said "Wait a minute, all I changed was an interface description, haha I am freaking out at a coincidence lololol epic bacon" (we all talked like that back then)

It turned out that the 6509 supervisor had crashed hard just because I changed _something_.

(Related: I do not have fond memories of Cisco 6500s)

@Xantra If that had happened, I would have DEFINITELY mentioned it.

I just took an Apple AirPod out of my ear with one hand, while picking up a piece of bacon from my plate with my other hand. I then proceeded to put the entire AirPod in my mouth, at which time I briefly rolled it around on my tongue while thinking to myself "Wait … this isn't bacon.”

@MidniteLibrary Smells Like Teen Spirit off over Nevermind came out _in 1991_, and yet between it and Friday I'm In Love, only one of these songs would not be out of place when played at an 80s themed party.

Not to mention some oddities that only resolve themselves when you remember context. "Why the hell was Bohemian Rhapsody charting in 1992? ... Oh, right. Party on, Wayne.”

I'm now going through billboard charts for each year of my life, just eyeballing them to see if there's any notable songs that I'm missing. This has shown up some songs that I would have said were around many years, if not decades apart, when it fact this was not the case.

The 1970s was a weird-ass time, full of songs that you I would swear were from the 50s, and also songs that I would swear were early 80s new wave or post-punk.

My sense of time is clearly tied to genre.

I must admit to finding some GLARING omissions on my part. I didn't have a copy of Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite? Outrageous.
