          Cries in being so old your realise people who were born after 9/11 are grown ass adults now.

            Don’t even have to be that old to experience that. There’s this weird phenomenon where if you’re born at the tail end of the 90s, anyone born 2000 onward feels infinitely younger, even if the actual age difference is only a few years.
            I was born 1998 and I still look at anybody born in 2000 like “you’ve gotta be 12 years old max.”

              Same thing here. Seeing people who were born in like 2006 as adults always trips me up for a second.

          Think of all the bullshit you won’t have to put up with after a full reset though.

      Imagine a world where the Supreme Court allowed Florida to keep counting ballots and we found out Al Gore actually won the election.

        I think that’s what happened on Earth Prime and we’re in one of those alternate-reality “What if?” comic book Earths. What if the villain known only as Hanging Chad hadn’t been stopped?

        (Al-Gor does sound like a Kryptonian name…)
