    I was speaking to someone at a party and for some reasons the topic of 9/11 came up and they mentioned they weren’t born when it happened so I just stopped talking to them.

      I’ve got a really personal connection to 9/11 so the memories surrounding it are really vivid for me. Was talking to a buddy the other day about it and he started laughing and I asked why. He said “You were playing with a pocket knife and I was shitting in my diapers.” It was at that moment I remembered he was born in 2000. My joints immediately were filled with sand.

    I always love that the older I get, that the younger and younger these actors that used to seem super mature look.

        While the phenomenon he explains does exist, it is an incorrect explanation for the feeling described in your title. This video is amazing, and I suggest watching all of it or just jumping to 10:50 to see your explanation:

        P.S.: I was born in 2000, but ffs what’s up with these short format videos of people talking really fast and shoving incorrect info down your throat? I just can’t watch these, nor can I understand what they are saying.

    For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.

    Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.

    BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor’s name is Peter Allas and I couldn’t find his birthday.

    “Hes just a man, no older than my friend Gary, who’s around my age now that I think about it”

        Seeing this meme has set me on a Mr Sunday Movies binge. I’d been off them for a bit since they were mostly covering things I wanted to see and didn’t want spoiled
