If you were born in 1983 or before, your birthday is closer to WWII than to today.

Mine is closer to WWI than to today, unless my aged brain has failed at math.

That one somehow isn't as weird. I guess it's because the 100 years since WW1 was fairly recently and obviously everyone who was over 50 at the time was born closer to WW1 than today.

We've passed the "Marty McFly came to this year date for existential dread and it was hilarious. Can't wait for the year when we're as far from the release of Austin Powers as the movie was from the wild 60s.

Oh man, that's going to be a weird milestone.

Maybe then we need a movie about a 90s spy trying to adjust to the late 2020s/early 2030s.

My guess this would be too depressing. Imahine going back to a world before 9/11, 2008, Trump, all that late-stage-capitalism and internet-fascists.

Not telling you about the good old times, it's just: It's been fucked up, y'all.

The first movie came out in 1997 and was set 30 years after he was frozen in 1967. So your scenario would be true in 4 years.

Thanks for checking wikipedia when I was too lazy to do so. ;)

I can confirm, I am born in 1970 and I am 33 years old (even if I always say 29 to everybody, every year is my 29yo again)
