I actually cannot believe that 2022 was 4 years ago.Why has the 2020s gone by so fast?Did the 2010s go by this fast for oldfags too? Because I remember 2010 to 2017 feeling like a longer time than 2017 to now.
>>84589134its a well established fact that time goes by more quickly as you age, but i would argue that time feels like it is moves by quicker in general now because the world is becoming increasingly unpredictable and hyper stimulating. happenings becoming more frequent etc
>>84589134I agree what the fuckit's strange and I don't think it's a case of just getting older maybe
In the bible it says that the days will be shortened at the end.
>>84589170Wouldn't the faster pace make time seem slower, though? If you track time unconsciously in terms of happenings per year, for instance. I think it's an issue of technology and culture. 2000 to 2010 was an immense change in Everything - that saw the post-y2k rise of the internet, birth of social media, smartphones, etc. 2010-2020 was less drastic than this but there was still a lot of growth and change. From 2020 onward it feels like culture has mostly crystallized, the only thing we've had is fucking aislop. And I bet that with aislop, the current year culture is going to be locked in semi-permanently. When David Attenborough bites it, they're going to just use his voice via AI for every documentary made for the next 1000 years. The entrenched social media apps and AI companies are going to be indestructible. The only "wars" or "revolutions" that happen will be third world subscription-model free to play situations, and there will be no serious change in governance or territory anywhere. We are all but at the finish line now. This is why the simulation is set to this timeframe, from the perspective of the far future this is the founding era of every one of their core, ancient institutions.
>>84589134>I actually cannot believe that 2022 was 4 years ago.Damn, back then I was sending death threats to many pixiv artists.Good times.
>>84589377lhaha, oh you
>>84589134Feels like 2023 should be this or last year desu
i think this year has gone by fast. we are almost half way to christmas again
so in just a few months you'll be able to say "next year is 2028"and at that point youre nearing "where did the decades go" instead of "years" territory
>>84589756I'm honestly starting to feel good about the acceleration of time, realistically, this means there is less perceived time between now and the date of my death which is extremely comforting. You're right, we're well underway knocking out another year, I feel like it was january last time I blinked. I don't need to feel like "christ, I have to deal with all of this for fucking ever" and instead I feel like I'm making credible, obvious progress toward the end.>>84589764>2026 was 10 years ago
the 2020s were and still are a really dark and horrible part of my life. At least I sort of found myself around that time, whatever that means.
>>84589928>At least I sort of found myself around that time, whatever that means.yeah me too
And then one day you findTen years have got behind youNo one told you when to runYou missed the starting gun
>>84590159it hurts guise
>the Cretaceous Period was 65 million years agobros...
>>84590235tfw you will never breathe the pre-photosynthesis anoxic air again...
>>84589134CERN/LHC either killed everyone and/or messed up the flow of time. Nu-time is like 5x-6x faster than OG time. It should only be around early 2014 right now.
2020's just doesnt have any big cultural events that we all collectively unconsciously share an awareness of. its just one big, unchanging year.
2010's was bad enough, but this is something else. I fully believe we're not in reality anymore.
>>84591057Yeah, that feels right. 2012 feels about two years ago. The late 00's feel about five years ago. They really do. Things also got really surreal after 2012. That was when it truly started feeling like a significant number of people out there were insane.
>>84591057Proofs of this? I mean, my standard for "proofs" is very loose here, I'm just asking why you attribute this to the LHC when I have not seen or heard anything convincing other than it being a big science machine. What specifically happened to fuck up the flow of time? Which experiment was this? They have a pretty well kept schedule of events for which research groups use it, what settings it's run on, what observations they're taking etc. and I would like to home in on what exactly the fuck happened if it was these guys.
>>84589208Ah yes we're totally in the end times, guys! Remember the last time when people where talking about how the world was totally going to end and then it didn't? Well now is totally completely different from that time and the world is definitely going to end any time now! Just don't worry that people have been saying this for thousands of years and the world still hasn't ended yet! It's going to be soon I PROMISE!
>>84591147>it didn'tNo evidence
>>84591111Checked.>>84591114Basically CERN messed around with quantum physics too hard and started messing up the flow of time. Imagine if a meter gradually got shorter by 1/1000th of an inch. However all meter sticks also reduced in length at the exact same rate. The meter stick would still measure a 1 meter object as being 1 meter, despite it actually being shorter than it used to be.
>>84591114>>84591167Adding on to this a bit more: smashing quantum particles together repeatedly might be causing time dilation on a massive scale.
>>84591167>>84591183I understand the concept of what you are proposing, I just want to know when this happened (or when it started, if it's a gradual/ongoing thing) and what particular evidence points to CERN/LHC rather than any other source of time distortion. There have been plenty of large scale particle colliders for a long time, another anon proposed an essentially biblical 'shortening of days', maybe even if it's physics-based as you propose it's some kind of cosmic scale effect that is well outside the reach of some guys in switzerland.
>>84591189The first test of the LHC happened in 2008 and the subsequent wave of tests were from 2010-2013. Those periods are often brought up here as the times where things started feeling "off".
>>84589170>>84589331It has to do with memory formation. When we're young, we're exposed to a lot of data the brain has to organize, and useless information to prune. This increases our sense of time, making it agonizingly slow.Our brains when we're older don't need to and it's already made a lot of connections with other things. This decreases our sense of time, thus making it appear faster. Not related to OP's original podt but interestinf, this is a part of why older people who go to college later in life can get great grades without trying much because our brains can utilize the information based upon experience. When I went back later to get a srcond degree and then a Master's, I was able to easily remember information just taking basic notes and write papers much easier because I could easily relate it to previous life experiences.
>>84589170I want off the ride
>>84589134Every decade has that 'aesthetic' that defines said decade, and people certainly start to feel/live it halfway through. This decade started off shitty and it's already halfway over, with no real 'aesthetic' beyond a slightly shinier version of what we had in 2018-early 2020.
I can see his pupils...
