When do you think time starts to fly by in life?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I think after I turned 18, time just flew by.

I was thinking about this yesterday. It feels like it was just a day ago.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

INteresting. IT's slowed down a lot fo rme.


Nanoseconds feel like milliseconds now. Minutes feel like ten minutes.

[John Tesh]

It is exponential until I break the time-space barrier and develop dementia, and then time will have no bounds on me.

[rufuspaul]

Every day must feel the same to you
Wake up next to a woman you despise
Make breakfast for your shit head kids
Drill into people's teeth resisting the urge to drill down to a nerve
Drinking some scotch to ease the guilt of the criminal rates you charge your patients
The only escape from the monotony is going to your mountain home to "make sure the pipes didn't burst"...


But we all know what you're really doing there...


:oldlol: It all goes by so fast!

It's crazy isn't it? What surprises me the most is the lack of effort by pretty much every high school friend group to stay in touch. When my older siblings grew apart from their high school friends within a year or two, I didn't think that would happen with mine. After my freshman year summer and a brief week or so during my sophomore year, we haven't stayed in touch consistently. I would say though without a doubt, my college friends mean a lot more to me than my high school friends ever did. Probably did the same for my high school friends.

I think it's when life becomes routine and most of your major goals are achieved. My high school days felt as long as my whole 30's combined.

every grade school year takes an eternity...that shit does not go by quickly

then you graduate and it's like your 10-year reunion is right around the corner

I think it is just percentages. When you are 10, a year is 1/10 of your life. When you are 30, a year is only 1/30th. So it feels like less time.

Same with size. When you are a kid buildings seem huge. Go back to the same building as an adult, it seems smaller. Maybe even half the size. Because back then.. you were half of your current size...

That is deep. But it would have been twice as deep if I were a kid.

Perception of time is heavily predicated on lifestyle, age, and location. The first 15 some odd years of your life seem to progress as slow as oozing molasses simply because your priorities are minimal and you're not really doing or worrying about much.

As you get older, your priorities began to expand, increasing your amount of daily distractions, which make the feel of time seem expedited. You'll notice that the busier you are, the faster time surpasses.

Location also plays a role as well. I have a buddy who essentially uprooted from New York becuse he couldn't handle the rapid pace of life over there. The faster than a New York minute clich

I've read scientific explanations of this phenomenon. Essential it's your young, developing brain just taking in everything and learning so much until you're 20 or so that it feels as though time is longer because every moment is much more apt to be taken up by a new sensory experience.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

macho and DW contradictin each other who gonna win out

[~primetime~]

You know what he meant

Typical city lifestyle is busier and more hectic and more fun than typical buttfvk nowhere lifestyle

Take a typical person put them in nyc for a week and then put them in some small town in the Midwest for a week. The ny week will go by much faster
right, which is the same thing as his FIRST point...it's about being "busy", not the actual location.

The location just dictates the likelihood of being "busy"...it's not like you can't be bored off your ass in NYC...there are coach potatoes in every US setting

[~primetime~]

So you agree location matters
it 'CAN' matter...or might not matter at all...depends on the person

"busyness" matters regardless of location...

[~primetime~]

Just won an argument with tiddy

First time in ish history

God damn I'm great
that wasn't an argument that we just had...and we can argue about that if you want

[~primetime~]

What are the parameters of an argument
I was never disputing your point...


right, which is the same thing as his FIRST point...

[~primetime~]

That's not what I asked!
parameters include two people disagreeing on something


sooo....pretty sure I won this "thing" we are having

[~primetime~]

Are all disagreements arguments? What if the disagreement is in nyc? What if it's in Wyoming?
we are more likely to disagree in NYC than Wyoming...but it doesn't mean being there is the reason for our disagreement...agree?

I once skimmed over a book called "Moonwalking with Einstein" which talked about how people can expand their memories by using certain techniques.

One portion talked about how a chronologist, Michel Siffre, and how he conducted experiments involving trapping himself in a cave or a dark place with no way to count the days. When he was let out of the cave, he thought less time had passed than he realized.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Siffre

This is one school of thought. Basically if you're memories of a certain time period is mundane, then that time period will pass by very quickly. Working a frequent 9-5 where nothing is new means you won't be acquiring a lot of long-term emotionally charged memories, which in essence means time flies by WHILE LOOKING BACK.

However, if you're sitting in class at present moment and you're bored as all hell, time will most likely be slowed down.

This explains why people feel time lasts longer as a child, since every memory was of a new experience. It also explains why people are willing to pay so much to take exotic vacations as adults, since it would load up on life memories and prevent time from flying by.

Can't believe it's been almost 8 years since I joined ISH. Man... my time posting on here has sure flown by. :confusedshrug:

[InfiniteBaskets]

Reflecting on my post, looking back my memories on ISH are pretty much the following:

Join ISH
Get in on all Heat game threads
Bounced in first round by bulls, Shaq traded
Still in heat game threads, scrubs like Yakuebe Diawara starting at SF
Greatest Moments in MS Paint
2010 ESPN free agency rumors and GOAT ISH thread
LBJ joins Miami, all of ISH in arms
Matt Geiger's Son
playoff game threads over past 4 seasons

the thing that makes us feel like time is going by so fast as we get older is that there are less highlights, exciting parts of our days. When you are young, you are excited to wake up, eat breakfast, watch cartoons, go play with your friends, eat dinner, go play with your friends, play on the computer, you remember all of that and it feels like you got alot done in one day, each day was exciting and fun. As we get older, our daily routine is basically going through the motions, and each day gets less and less significant because of repetition and things we have already experienced. Thats why we feel time is moving fast, because we measure how much we lived in a certain time, and by "live" meaning how many exciting things and experiences have we've had, and for most adults, it would be 0 in a weeks time, where as a kid, would be 20 things in a weeks time.

Once I finished university, and then again when I had a baby. Now there's not enough time in a day

[dkmwise]

I'd say around 22, after you get out of college.

[jongib369]

I'm 24 years old, born in 1991. 24 years before then was 1967, arguably the GOATS best year. Idk about you guys, but when I put it in that perspective I got the chills :lol
