Reply to comment by Ksp-or-GTFO in TIL that in an effort to save $43.5, the Canadian Mint mailed the dies of the new $1 coin via a discount courier over using an armored car- which were promptly stolen and have never been found. This would lead to the adoption of the Loonie design as an emergency replacement. by Padgriffin

Welcome to every time your parents or someone from their generation tried to engage you in their pop culture.

As I’ve gotten older, this Simpsons episode hits closer to home

I like how the new bands in that clip are now like two generations behind. The bands Homer is into would be like my generations parents being into Glenn Miller or something

Lol somewhere around 2007 a young coworker told me she didn't remember the first gulf war. That was the first of many times I felt like I was getting old.

The most recent is when the "your birthdate must be before this date" sign for alcohol went beyond September 11, 2001, which just happened last month.
