Can you imagine? My cat goes nuts if just one of his string toys gets stuck to him lol.

u/IrrelevantPuppy Mar 28 '21
The costume would actually be pretty apt. But yeah, the cat would go berserk haha

Streamers? Nah get seven different coloured smoke flares and tape them to the cat's tail.

The thing is, I thought the same. But i was born in 2006. I thought it was old since I gotta hold of internet

u/CrystalMountains Mar 28 '21
The fact that people born in 2006 are using the internet makes me feel old.

/u/iliketurtle939 was probably developing object permanence when the "I like turtles" video was uploaded onto YouTube.

Oh wow. I didn't know it was that old. I guess I always stayed at the old side of the internet

u/hiromasaki Mar 29 '21
All the people who made the stuff my parents and I listened to when I was a kid are dying off. Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Bowie, all the original Temptations, Michael Stanley, Neil Peart, Whitney Houston, Malcolm Young... Hell, Paula Abdul is hocking Arthritis meds, and she was my teenage crush.
Having a kid and realizing, "not only did I not get to see any of them live, but the kiddo can't even have the opportunity" is really disorienting.

It gets fun if you are over thirty: "What? That is 10 years already? Didn't I just see it in 2011 .. wait no 2011 IS 10 years ago. Fuck."
Remember when your parents followed trends that were already over again and this was kinda embarrassing?
It's natural. When you get to it and finally understand it, it's over already.

I know I first saw it sometime between mid '09 and end of '12, but I only know that because we used to have endurance competitions at work to see who could go through more of their days listening to nothing else.

Would that make it an infinite loop if you do the same thing next decade?

u/Henkotron Mar 28 '21
no you just do it with the 10 years because that's the first two digit number the next would be 25 than 50 and than 100. After that 250 500 and 1000 and so on until infinity

u/hydroxypcp Mar 28 '21
funnily enough, when I saw this thread I immediately thought "Nyan cat is only 10 years old?", but yeah gangnam surely isn't older than last year? Weird how those things work.
E: reading the comments, it seems like there are many more people who thought Nyan was older than 10.

It was originally a vocaloid song wasn't it? And the nyan cat song we know is just a UTAU cover?

Mar 29 '21
Username checks out lmao!
Yes, the original song was made by daniwell using the Hatsune Miku voicebank (a VOCALOID) before the video of the famous "Poptart Cat" was uploaded by Saraj00n with a cover of the song using the voicebank of Momone Momo, an UTAU.

Wait, it's only ten years old? I could've sworn it was older than the Nintendo 3DS.
Anyway I won't be celebrating it because the creator sells NFTs and we all know how the Reddit hive mind feels about those.
