    I’m apparently in the minority here, but I gave zero shits about Y2K beforehand beyond a mild curiosity of whether anything would actually happen. And when nothing happened I continued to not give a shit.

      Yeah, because you weren’t the one who had to do a ton of work to fix everything before Y2K. The people who worked their asses off to make sure nothing happened sure gave a shit.

        I know I wasn’t. I was/am a millennial. This meme was about the millennial experience at Y2K, which the vast majority of us were too young to be impacted by directly.
