Grandpa forgets details sometimes. Not his fault.
Dude just zipped around Asia in a couple days then took a 12 hour flight home. Is it really that weird that he accidentally said the next day instead of the next week?
I’m half his age, and travel like that makes me completely incoherent.
It's not like he was flying in cheap economy seats. Grandpa got plenty of nap time on his flight.
Dude is the 2 decade reigning flub champ. Swapping day and week isn’t even a C tier flub.
Also, a nice seat still doesn’t make up for the fact that the time zone is basically entirely inverted. Dude just got off several days working the night shift.
This doesn't fix jet lag which is fucking brutal.
So you never had a jetlag, got it.
I've worked flexible work shifts, which is basically the same thing. One day work starts at 3:30pm and goes till 12am, another it starts at 12am and goes till 7am, it's bullshit.
If you get enough sleep it's fine. Old people struggle a lot with disrupted sleep schedules, though, so there's no way I could do that shit if I was eighty god damn years old. Why do y'all pretend he isn't ancient?
Not just grandpa. How much of what we remember of 9/11 is accurate? How can we be sure? Is anyone fact checking our memories?
I have no idea at this point what I saw on 9/11 and what I saw repeated days later.
My good friend and I both very clearly remember watching the Challenge explosion happen live on TV in 6th grade science class.... it happened when we were in 4th grade at different schools.
It was 1986, so I was 9. That might have been 4th grade for me too.
I was in graphics class, junior year. We were working on our projects in the lab; the teacher quietly went over and turned a tv on it took a good 2/3’s of the class for the shock to set in, and the. Everything seemed kinda pointless the rest of the day.
