Millennium was NYE 2000. NYE 1999 was just the odometer rollover.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. I remember exactly where I was on 12/31/1999, but I have zero recollection of 12/31/2000.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Odometer rollovers are fun. Plus there was Prince’s song.

But all I remember about 12/31/1999 is being on call because I was in IT.

I spent part of that NYE at a karaoke bar. You KNOW I sang that song.

They are probably one of those people who goes "actualllllyyy the millennium is in 2000 because of year one!"

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody cared about nye 2000, nye 1999 was a huge deal.

Jerry Seinfeld : By the way, Newman, when you booked the hotel, did you remember to book it for the millennium New Year?

Newman : As a matter of fact, I did.

Jerry Seinfeld : Well, that's funny. Because as everyone knows that there's no year zero, the millennium doesn't begin until 2001. Which would make your party one year late. And thus, quite lame. Aw!

Newman : *quacks*

Oh JFC, not this bullshit again.

Base ten does not start at one; it starts at zero. You know this. I know you know this because you would not say that 2020 is the last year of the teens; you'd say it was the first year of the 20s. You might reply, "nuh uh, I totally would" to bolster your argument here, but in real life, you know very well that that would make no fucking sense. You understand that we put the 2 in front of the 0 to indicate that we've moved on to the next group of numbers.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, we just made up the numbers anyway. We don't actually know when we started counting from the first zero. Just at somepoint we arbitrarily decided that we'd count from when we think that maybe some itinerant cult leader was born, but we don't exactly when that was, or if he even existed or the oral traditions are based on amalgamating a bunch of different itinerant preachers into one fanon character, or if he was even an itinerant preacher at all and not a misunderstood Very Naughty Boy. The numbers only matter if we decide they do, and we decided the important one was the ninety-nine into double zero.

It was boring af for me, don't know what fuss is about

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
He looks pretty chill in the photo. Maybe he was still high?

My first reaction was, NYE 1999 was overhyped! Then again, RDJ would have been invited to way better parties than my suburban teen self.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I also missed it as I had major surgery the day before and was in hospital. I was fine with that, though, we made lots of Day of the Triffids jokes, where everyone else would be looking at the sky and I was the one person stuck in hospital who wouldn't go blind from the evil light display!

Thank you for making my secret, secret-maker!

(Anonymous) 2025-01-24 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
This is so random Secret OP. LOL

Of all things that RDJ missed out on due to his drug addiction, I never would have thought of NYE 1999 XD
