Back in 2000 I would call a movie from 1975 ancient.

Now a movie from 2000 is like eh it's old but not thaaaat old

Witcher 3, inside out and usb C are 10 years old

The best ever video game (though The Witcher 3 is way up there too, possibly even top 3), Fallout New Vegas, is 15 years old.

Skyrim is "only" 14 years old, so we're probably still a decade or two away from TES 6 🤷

I always watched the news from 20 years ago back in the day. They were from 1980 or 1990.

They still do this and now it's from 2005.

It feels so strange watching them now. Everyone is so different and old school, though i recognize the style and way of talking as having experienced it as an adult.

And it's much more "old" than i have it in mind.

This is intriguing, how do you go about this? Is there a channel posting this somewhere?

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's on German TV - the channel is alpha from the ARD Mediathek.

Nachrichten vor 20 Jahren

If you use a VPN you should be able to watch. They check if you're connecting from Germany.

It streams daily around 2 am.

It's followed by Bob Ross btw.

I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter spread over too much bread

And my back.

And my knees.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Dad got it on VHS from a service that was sort of the Netflix of the time. (Not Netflix though, although the company prolly got the idea from Netflix. Original Netflix began in 97 but in Finland Netflix started operating in 2012, with streaming.)

Feels mattdamon

Fun fact that makes elder millennials like myself and Gen X feel SUPER old:

Many parents of tweens weren't even born yet when Courtney Love had Kurt Cobain killed.
