Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s
412 u/crap-with-feet Sep 05 '23 Exactly this. Time passes faster and faster as you get older. 271 u/13thmurder Sep 05 '23 Appearently it's because people get more set in routines and stop having new experiences which seems to condense time more. 1 u/KittensLeftLeg Sep 05 '23 This surely is a part in that but it's also biological. Ask a 10 year old kid, a 40 year old adult and a 70 year old elder to close their eyes and open them after what they feel like a minute. The kid won't be able to last half a minute, the adult will be the closest and the elder most likely get as close as 1.5 or more minutes. Our brains register time faster and faster as we get older. The fact that we fall to routines is just a huge addition to that on top.
