The time is nigh. Can we start joking about it now? lol, 😂 or I’d assume the end of the year for the .3 years

Crazy so much time has passed, I actually remember that episode like it wasn’t two decades ago.

You can joke about it but that still doesn’t make it any less fucked up. It was a tragedy, just because 22.3 years passed doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.

Depends on Context.

Obvious Statement: Tragedy is bad, but jokes are not. And as more time passes, it allows us to be more removed & objective with a tragedy. Yes 9/11 is still bad, but there is an eventual point where tragedies no-longer are taboos to joke about. I think it's funny that South Park arbitrarily put the 22.3 year date - obviously no date is set in stone.

Does anyone nowadays shed tears for the tragedies that Genghis Khan committed? Why... TIME. Maybe the timetable is much longer than 22.3 years, but there will come a point where it'll be joked about and no-one bats an eye.
