Oh you can fuck right off, Skeletor

No, in 5 years 1980 will have been 50 years ago, and the '80s will have been 40 years ago.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 23 hours ago

I like that justification

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I was going to say! I was born in the 80s and I’m only 41. If I turned 50 in 5 years I would be very upset!

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Hell yeah ‘83 vintage. Best year.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

It will also be in 50 years time.

[–] dryfter@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

This makes me feel old, but not as much as realizing I’m less than 10 years from senior discounts

They will be 41 years ago actually.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

I just realized that next year is 30 years since the release of the N64. Fuck im old

1989 won't have been 50 years ago.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Neither would the other 8 years prior. What's your point?

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 6 points 23 hours ago

..their point is pretty obvious. You OK?

If the Wedding Singer came out today it would be set in 2012

The 80's is older to us that the 2nd World War was to them.

In 1989, Hitler killed himself 44 years ago.

In 2025, John Lennon was killed 45 years ago.

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The 80’s will to be 50 years from now, too

[–] Mist101@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As long as they're as radical the second time around, I'm game.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours ago

I was born in the late 80s and they had so much fun that we could smell it throughout the 90s. Maybe even into the early 00s.

The 80's are weird, dude. It's like the 70's never were a thing and feels like if it were like a proto version of the 90's.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

got-damn that can't be right!

but it did come from skeletor sooo

fuuuck

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I’m a firm believer each nominal decade (“the 80s” in this case) starts with the year ending in 1 (1981-1990).

Mathematically it’s correct (there was no year 0), but more to the point look at anything in the popular culture in 1980, doesn’t it look like it’s from the 70s? Video from 1990 doesn’t look “90s”, it looks 80s.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

"yea I'm an 80s baby"

"when were you born?"

"1990"

UTTERLY DERANGED

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 hours ago

To be fair, someone born in 1989 saying they're an 80s baby would likewise get sideeyed from me.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

there was no year 0

Just because no one said it was there, doesn't mean it wasn't.

It's like vaccines and autism and other things RFK doesnt believe in. They still exist!

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago

Dionysius did not use a year zero; the year preceding AD 1 was 1 BC.

  • “The Oxford Companion to the Year” by Blackburn & Holford-Strevens

There was not a year zero. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Also the 80s is plural so in 1980 there was only one 80, but by 1981 there were two 80s.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 23 hours ago

...and in the '80s they taught us

  • '80s is an abbreviation
  • 80's is a failure and they kept failures back a year to learn it again

Good times.

Reign in blood isn't even 40 yet.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

A little bit of it will, but most of it won't.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 5 points 1 day ago

How dare you!
