Fucking lol.

Although, at least Obama was old enough to be president in 2001 (it's not like he was 35 in 2008 when elected), but Mamdani was 10, probably playing Sim City 2000 or something. Lol

I was 19… and probably playing Sim City 2000, as well.

I was 21 and literally playing StarCraft when it happened. I remember because I was serving in the military and it was late at night because I was deployed in Japan at the time with my unit.
