I figure it's because the year can be seen as an optional appendage if you're talking about dates from the current year. Like, I can say "that happened on May 5th," or "I'll be there June 18th," and you can reasonably assume I mean in 2024 unless I specify "June 18th, 2063."

Now, as for why you can say "I'm going on the 18th," but Americans don't say 18th of June, 2024, I haven't a clue. We really only seem to have logical explanations for the way we do things about half of the time.

My favorite was always Cocoa-Based Bloodsucking Supernatural Being of European Nobility.

Geoffrey the Giraffe, the original model for the Toys R Us mascot, tragically gave his life rescuing civilians during the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. The image for the mascot was changed out of respect, as the company didn't want to posthumously use his image. The company has since struggled to find a suitable replacement.

It's scary, but it's something we all face someday. One day, I'll go, too. The only way to go is forward, Ralph. Farewell.

Ah, you're thinking of a chartess. Chartreuse is a long-neck avian fowl that's been burnt to a cinder

I'm biased towards Y2K from the nostalgia, since those were the prime years of my childhood right before my teenage years kicked in.

But, I love the design of that time because of how obsessed with futurism everything was. It took the future chic look of the mid-late '60s and revamped it, taking that hype for the future- with the Space Race- bringing it back, and updating it for the Information Age.

It felt like we, as a society, had so much optimism for the world that was to come. So, if anything, I think that's what I'm mostly nostalgic for. I was so excited to grow up in that world. Damn.

Just comes down to whether you want the prison to be external or internal
