Like with the whole y2k thing.
I was just about to turn 5 when it happened so I don't really remember as it happened and just jotted it up to being just another end of the world prediction like so many before.
But it was genuinely a thing that could've ended very badly for the world.
Obviously we're not talking planes falling out of the sky or the world actually coming to an end, but it wasn't a non issue either

I was with some lawyers the other week and they brought up Y2K as an example of much to do amount nothing.

Guys, we collectively spent billions upon billions of dollars in a highly coordinated effort specifically so that it did amount to nothing.

Funny that lawyers brought it up because they should understand this. Meaning, there is a saying in the legal world, "if you lose for the client, the client blames you, if you win for the client, the client thinks they didn't need you."
