Here’s one I just realized: we’re closer to 2070 than we are to 1970.
In general, if someone is over 50, we’re closer to their 100th birthday than their birth year. 1974 is currently equidistant to 2074 and it goes up by one every year.
In 1990, we were equidistant from 1940 and 2040.
And the bit you mentioned might make you feel old but consider that anyone born before 1976 still spent more time in the 20th century than the 21st. Or more time in the 2nd millennium then the 3rd. The ones who can’t say what you said are the really old ones.
And both people in the running for president haven’t even spent a third of their lives in the current millennium.
It has been longer in this century for me than the years I was alive in the previous one. Fuck, I’m old too.

Hey, could you kindly shut the hell up?
I already feel old. You don’t have to rub salt in the wound.
