    2019 will be the last year to have completely different digits. We would have to wait till 2031 for all the digits to be completely different again.

    Sometimes...when I look for gifs...I find the same thing. Then again...sometimes....when I look for gifs...I am more shocked there are so many....for some seriously outlandish and almost unimaginable stuff.

    It's not weird. It's logical. The smallest unit in front, the biggest at the end. We no longer say a person is 3 score and 8 years, so why would we do that to the date?

    We are closer to the date when The Jetsons is set (2062), than the original airing date of the series (1962).
