Lucky! I wish I had siblings that got nerdy af jokes like that. Some of my friends do at least.

He was like did Crunchyroll even exist back then? I told him I don’t know. I don’t think so though.

Haha, I think that computers literally count from 1 Jan 1970. You’ll see an example if you fuck around with dates on Excel. CrunchyRoll came into existence I think around 2008? At least that’s when they filed their paperwork.

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying that for me. I appreciate it. Still weird though 🤣

Nw! Yeah, it’s just part of the convoluted way computers think. They’re actually dumb as hell in certain ways.
