That's weird.

I came here to check that someone had linked to that video, but in my mind it feels a lot longer ago than Dec 2021. I feel like that video should be 3 or 4 years old.

It's doubly weird because that normally happens the other way around, where I think something happened about a year ago, and it was actually 3 or 4 years ago. Or I think something happened 5 years ago, and it was actually 10-12.




People seem to be reporting anecdotally that the pandemic has messed with their sense of time. I wonder if there are any serious research projects underway to study this phenomenon.


Maybe you should submit the video to The Hummingbird Clock and find out for sure! hehe


I find it personally hard to date stuff that came out or that I watched during the pandemic. To me it felt like I consumed 4 or 5 years of content in the span of each year. My sense of time is completely twisted.


I would have said 3-4 years as well, and I would have been certain beyond any doubt that it was more than 2 years. Crazy.


I too could swear I saw that video much earlier. But I guess it was actually this one: https://youtu.be/bij-JjzCa7o
