The way we perceive time and history is so weird
I get so tripped out when I think about how Cleopatra lived closer tot he iPhone being invented than she did to the Great Pyramids being built. Or how Stonehenge would have already been ruins when Jesus walked the earth or how Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire or how Anne Frank and MLK were born in the same year like man this it’s all so crazyWe live closer to the T-Rex than the T-Rex lived to the Stegosaurus.
We are the same number of years away from the first Star Wars film as the first Star Wars film was from Gone With The Wind.
Nintendo is roughly half the age of the United States of America.
If Happy Days was made now with the same time-setting gap as its first episode, it would be set in the mid-90s. So would That ’70s Show.
Arthur Conan Doyle and Gene Hackman were alive during the same year.
The first printed use of the word “electricity” predates the existence of the piano.
There are people alive today who have never even heard of Kenickie.
