As in the century, obviously. The same way people don't literally mean 1800-1809 when they say the 1800s

Only because I was shown the movie on Netflix or something in like... 2020.

Someone who's 46 is old enough to be my dad. Actually, my dad isn't much older than that.

The thing is, I am still a young adult. I was only born in '04 and turned 22 a couple of months ago. Can't believe I'm lumped in with people who are nearly 50 years old. I have nothing in common with people who are old enough to remember some type of technology called floppy disks.

As a teenager, being shown a cassette tape for the first time was a history lesson. Even being shown a rotary phone felt like looking a piece of technology from the 1800s.

Edit: people born in the 1980s are literally old enough to be my parents.

I was 17 years old only 5 years ago, too 😭

Can't believe I'm now old enough to be lumped in with people born in the 1900s 😭.

Edit: I'm only 22 years old; why am I lumped in with people who are getting close to 50 years old?
