I'm confused! People keep saying that the new millenium starts in 2000. But the new millenium started ACUALLY in 2001!

[MSTS1]

Two-Thousand years can't be fully two-thousand years until the 2000th year is complete (there was no year-zero.) So, the next one-thousand years began at the moment of Jan.1, 2001 (1/1/01) - it always does.

The last: Jan. 1, 1001 (1/1/01),

The next one will be Jan. 1, 3001 (1/1/01...)

@MSTS1 I think that most people thought that saying "the year 2000" sounded cooler. While technically right, the people that kept correcting everyone were still party poopers. ;)

BTW. this video makes me so homesick for Boston. :(

[MSTS1]

@electrogeek77 - Yes, I agree. Even if technically correct, it really wouldn't have made much sense to anyone to 'celebrate the new millennium' one year after the arrival of 'The Year 2000'..

@liamisalegend22 I was also 5 and i didnt even know about Y2K lol

[metaltera86]

Compare what the year 1 looks like to year 2001. A MAJOR technology difference. Now I cant bear to imagine what year 2001 to 3001 would look like..oh boy

They're talking like this is their LAST report lol

[miamivicepastels83]

@michael85225 you aint lyin honey

[idontloveducks]

@michael85225 Yeah, I would also prefer to go back to the 90s. 2000 wasn't all that bad, it was the beginning of technological advancements. That's pretty much the only good thing about it.

Who else set the date on there computer to 2000 in 1999 just to see what happened

Just another day. People are so dumb
