It’s easy to assume that you understand the passing of time perfectly, until you realize that babies born in 2007 can now vote, buy cigarettes and enlist in the army. Oh yeah, and those 18-year-olds are the same age as the iPhone. Meanwhile, the film Titanic came out 28 years ago, and President Donald Trump’s first term began over 8 years ago.
You might begin to feel extremely old when you stop and get a different perspective on just how quickly time is passing. And if you’re interested in hearing a bunch of facts that will severely warp your perception of time, you’re in for a treat, pandas. We took a trip to the Barbara Walters 4 Scale subreddit, which features creative yet factual timeline comparisons, and gathered some of their trippiest posts below. From information that will blow your mind to facts that will make you want to slow down time, we hope you enjoy reading through this list. And be sure to upvote the info that you’ll definitely be sharing with your friends!
