Neat. ITT: people butthurt by a showerthought because simple math is evidently fake math and should be gate-kept
minus-squaremadame_gaymes@programming.devOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-24 days agoOk, but you missed the point. I’m in my 30s, but I didn’t grow up remotely close to the '30s. My grandpa is 90, but he didn’t grow up anywhere near the '90s.
minus-squareHonytawk@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down3·edit-23 days agoNo you missed the point. You are in your 30s, so you grew up in the 90s. Your grandfather is 90, so they grew up in the 30s. Meaning “People in their 30’s and 90’s grew up in the 30’s and 90’s” is exactly the same logic.
minus-squareLinktank@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down9·4 days agoI didn’t miss the point. I was just piling on with the other people poking fun at the fact that this is simple math. 90’s kids have a long way to go if they want to experience what you’re describing.

Yours was the only one that came off as somewhat antagonistic. Also, I’m a 90’s kid, so you lost me there, too. Besides, Simple Math is a decent tune.
