Most of us don't notice the passage of time, so we're shocked when we realize just how many years have passed since certain phenomena. For example, Pokémon Go rocked the world exactly 10 years ago. 15 years ago, in 2011, Instagram launched, and had no reels or ads – just pure square photo bliss.
But this will really blow your mind: it's been exactly 20 years since Hannah Montana and High School Musical premiered and Facebook and Twitter were launched. Feel old yet? If not, we've got some more doozies for you, courtesy of an online community with a title that's just a bit too rude. We'll give you a hint: these nostalgic things will most likely make you say: "Heck, I'm Old!"
