You’re in the Future: 2016 Edition
By Tim Urban
A year ago, on January 1, 2015, I put together a series of time-based facts to remind everyone that they’re old. One year later, let’s do an update:
The 21st century seems like it just started, but we’re already halfway to 2032.
The Wonder Years aired from 1988–1993 and covered the years 1968–1973. If it were made today, it would cover the years 1996–2001. Instead of episodes about the moon landing, The Beatles, and the Civil Rights Movement, they’d be about the Bush-Gore election, Britney Spears, and the September 11th attacks. The characters in a Wonder Years made today would be watching Friends (’94 – ’04), South Park (’97 – present), Family Guy (1999 – present), and the first season of 24 (2001 – 2010).
And Family Guy started airing (Jan ’99) closer to M*A*S*H being on the air (1972 – 1983) than to today.
Speaking of the moon landing, the following movies were in theaters closer to the moon landing than to today:
Batman Returns
A League of Their Own
Wayne’s World
My Cousin Vinny
Silence of the Lambs
Terminator 2
Hook
Beauty and the Beast
The Addams Family
Father of the Bride
Home Alone
These movies were in theaters closer to JFK’s presidency than today:
Batman
Back to the Future 2
The Little Mermaid
Indiana Jones
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Field of Dreams
When Harry Met Sally
And these movies came out closer to World War II than to today:
The Empire Strikes Back
The Shining
Airplane
Caddyshack
Then there’s the Godfather, which came out in 1972, a date closer to the 1920s than to today. Likewise:
Born before 1973? You were born closer to the 1920s than to today. Today’s 38-year-olds were born closer to the 1930s than to today. 28-year-olds and 23-year-olds, before you laugh, you were born closer to the ’50s and ’60s than today, respectively.
Know any 84-year-olds? Their birth is farther away from today than is the 22nd century. And there are millions of people alive today who will live well into the 22nd century. But there are only two people alive today who were also alive in the 1800s.
The average age of an American woman when she has her first child is 25.8. That means that the average woman giving birth to her first child right now was born in the 1990s.
Remember 1996? The way we thought of the 60s then is how someone who today is the age you were then thinks of the 80s. The way you thought of the 70s then is exactly how far in the past the 90s are today. In 1996, Sinatra’s early prime was the same distance back as the Disco era is today.
How about 1980? It’s closer to FDR, Churchill and Hitler fighting each other than it is to 2016.
1977 is 39 years ago—1/4 of the way back to the Civil War and Lincoln’s presidency.
How about other American presidencies? If you’re a 34-year-old American like me, your early childhood took place during the Reagan administration, you finished elementary school during Bush Sr.’s presidency, and high school coincided with Clinton. Someone who’s nine years old today views George W. Bush the way I view Jimmy Carter, and for them, the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal is exactly as far back as Watergate is to me. Reagan, for them, happened when Eisenhower’s presidency happened for me.
And finally, one of my favorite childhood movies was Back to the Future, during which the present was 1985. The date the movie used as the faraway future? October 21, 2015. A time now in the past.
Want the full perspective? Here.
And for some optimism, here are 200 Wait But Why readers’ New Years Resolutions from two years ago.
I don't understand?? What is wrong with the name? Misleading?
Where is Smooth? Anyone talk to him outside of here? Seems like he's been absent for awhile.
He's been on Facebook lately.Quote:

I don't know. He always seemed like a bit of a sissy :D You know, someone who tucks it back then admires himself in front of a mirror.Quote:

I was planning to switch companies later this year as I'm planning to get a new vehicle. However, the most recent increase ($15 a month) pissed me off enough that I called my agent's office for an explanation. 3 fucking weeks have passed and they have not returned my call.
So, I called GEICO this morning to get a quote. I got the EXACT same coverage and cut my deductibles from 500 to 250 and I'm going to save over $600 per year. I'm sure GEICO will start fucking me at some point so when they do, I'll switch again.
Just thought I'd share this because, if you're the kind of customer they're counting on and you don't want the "hassle" of switching or shopping, you are probably being fucked like I was and you should take a few minutes to put a stop to it.
Fuck you, Insurance Man!
Spoiler: show
You should have called FloQuote:

Called Geico up and saved a rack of money. Been with them ever since and haven't noticed an increase in rates that much to the point of pissing me off yet.
Even added Homeowners insurance through them, though I know technically it's with another company.
As a guy that works for Allstate, I can probably explain it.Quote:

Insurance rates go up based on the overall amount of claims in the area too. Mine just went up $10 a month because of that. So the driving of other idiots will affect you in some way to offset their costs.
Doing some catching up here, but congrats mate!Quote:

After that, I don't know, it was sort of nice taking a break from here. As time went on, I just sort of kept extending the "vacation", if you will. I didn't have to deal with Ram's bullshit, so I was able to enjoy the rest of the college football and NFL season. And outside of maybe some discussion on various game releases or upcoming games in 2016, I didn't feel like I was missing a ton of conversation, and I was still able to partake in conversations outside of this site thanks to our couple of group nights on SW Battlefront, so I just sort of kept the vacation rolling. I nearly cut it short on January 3rd when I won the NFL Pick'em, just so I could rip Ram a new asshole, but I never got a chance that night and work picked back up the next day, so I delayed my return a little longer.
I finally decided Ram's new asshole ripping had been delayed long enough last night, especially after his new levels of bullshit these last two weeks.

That's enough mangina for the decade :D
One day Amazon will get into the insurance biz and all will be well. There have been a few stories of Amazon and even Google sticking their toe in the water.
Well glad to see you back, I could tell the Ohio thing pressed the wrong buttons and I really do apologize.
Well, considering I have not made an auto insurance claim in about 20 years I can live with a hassle or two to save $600 annually. I have a few friends who have GEICO and they never had any real problems making claims so I'm hoping I wouldn't either.Quote:

Lastly, not everyone is willing to pay $5 per month for something they can get for $30 per year so I'm not sure you would understand. ;)
But when it's on sale for $20, I'll get it ;)Quote:

And all my life, I've never been one to back down, so I just kept slinging back that whole night even though it was over something that I couldn't have even cared less about because it was nothing more than a joke for me to fuck around with. The joke just ended up getting way out of hand.Quote:

After that weekend, between being busy as hell, and actually enjoying life not having to deal with Buffalo Ram and his dumb shit claims, I just sort of kept rolling my "vacation" week after week throughout December and the first half of January here. It was actually rather nice being away for a bit!

Saw this on the news this morning. Some fucking private Jewish school in New York sent a letter to parents offering to make a second report card with fake (higher) grades to show their boys. This way, the kids won't know they are failures.

Fun Fair Positive School
Oy vey, no Trophy?
So it used to be the kids getting the report cards and trying to fake higher grades for the parents but now that is switched. WTF?
I'm on a semi-annualish phone call with my dad. We have next-to-nothing in common. He won't stop talking. Over 45 minutes now.
Fuck my life.
EDIT: Well that's 1:14:43 of my life that I'll never get back.
Kinda looks like your dad wants to talk to you more.Quote:
