Kids on lemmy these days telling me about 9/11. Dude I was in school that day. I remember it quite well. You weren’t even in your dads balls yet. Stfu.

"I am alive during the invasion of Ukraine, therefore I must know more than someone who spends massive amounts of time researching it 20 years from now."

Not assuming what they're saying is well researched, they're probably not- but being alive during an event doesn't exactly make you an expert on it just because you watched the news.

I was heavily hung over and spent all day in my pajamas watching TV.

If it’s any consolation, I was a Junior in HS.

I was in English class and that teacher also taught an elective on Film History, so she had a big screen TV in the room (big, for the time and for being in a classroom…It was probably a 40” tube). A couple of the adjacent rooms came in and we watched the second tower get hit with Katie, Matt, Al, and Ann.

I was at an Evangelical Bible college, my first month away from home. People genuinely thought it was the end times and Jesus was coming back that day.

Dude I had a flight booked that day, and my birthday was later in the week.

That shit changed EVERYTHING.
