Come to think of it... We're in 2020. Like, fucking hell, two thousand years have passed since the Big Bang. That's a lot of time.

@0x00 actually the big bang was like 6 thousand years ago. time is counted based on when Jesus died, the big bang was 4 thousand years before he was born, and they counted time backwards based on how many years were left until Jesus would be born back then. it's pretty confusing and stupid, but just think of it as being like having negative temperature when you go below freezing point.

@Galena What? That doesn't make sense at all. Chinese restaurants just handed out "Happy year -1534"?

If 1 year passed, does that mean you became 1 year younger? What age did babies get born with? 100? Like, to round up? And then people died at like 40 years of age or something?

That's stupid.

@0x00 Look, I don't really have time to explain it all. Watch Benjamin Button, then it'll all make sense.
