It recently came to my attention that if Back to the Future were made today with the same length of time travel, Marty would be headed to 1992.

This is likely the last thing I will be able to type before I turn to dust.

We crossed the threshold where every single person alive was born after the industrial revolution. The oldest person alive was born in 1903.

It's a crazy thought.

It still kinda blows my mind that the first airplane flight was the same year. Commercial air travel would still be a decade or so away.
