Am I the oly one, who thinks that the definition of time has been changed? I am 22 years old, got school and training behind me, now working in the great hamster wheel.
Only another 4 months and again a year is over. This cant be real, its the fastest year ever. I know those quotes "if you get older and working ...blabla... time goes on faster" but I cant believe this shit. If I remeber before the year 2014, everything was fucking slow. Even when I had fun or not. Every day was a feeled 24h day.
But now, the days are flying. Im not even looking on the calender, paydays coming so fast. And with my own feel something has changed since 2014. It doesnt matter what I am doing today, everything goes fast as fuck, and every day seems to go faster then the day before.
I cant be the only one with this opinion. What are your thoughts to this subject? Ive already read theories about the Schuhmann frequence, but I dont know what to think of this.
Yeah I feel the same way, like sometimes time goes faster and slower. To me time actually feels slower than usual right now. A second/minute/hour seems to take longer than it used to.

>Michael Brown has been crime free for 4 years and 1 month now.
we've not been allowed to experience time on our own because we've been forced into a loop. we only think we're going into the future when really we're just going around in circles.
Luis Reed
i read that the reason time seems to go more slowly wen you're a child is because you don't have a solid frame of reference for what time is really like. as an 8 yr old, say, you don't remember too many summers, so you can't recall how long it really is. when you're 22, you have more seasons behind you, so you're feeling the time pass in relation to the other years.
Sebastian Murphy
onward we plunge, faster and faster forever gaining speed, into the object at the end of time. the great merge as it were.
Ethan Cooper
draw this and put it on the wall it's what a real clock looks like
>22 oh sweetie you ain't seen nothing yet im 29 and the past few years feel like a blur. feels like I was 25 yesterday
Henry Martinez
You need to punctuate your life bro. Its no coincidence that time sped up since you hit 18. Younger life is full of little punctuations, first kiss, new school year, first sexy tiem, first holiday, first everything. Once you get caught on the hamster wheel everything seems condensed in retrospect, one year is spent doing the same thing as five years, ten years, so it seems quicker. You gotta do random stuff more to give you some points of reference
Colton Young
>first sexy tiem >Younger life literally fucking normies :((((
Yes I have read already exact those things. I believe, that there is something true in it, but what I am meaning are especially the last years. Are they even gone faster for you guys too?
I really think someone has somehow turned our definiton of time faster. One hour is still one hour. But when I look at my clock and watch the seconds pointer run, I think the time of one seconds has charged up faster. Ive did an experiment: Take a stop clock. Now start the clock and simultaneously count from one to ten with closed eyes. In my memory of one second, time has speed up. My clock reaches the ten seconds, when I am still counting between 7 and 8. It would match the last years, where I am the opinion, that about 1/3 time were lost.

>Travyon Martin has been crime free for over 6 and a half years
i think its because we are surrouned by so much fast living meaningless bullshit and it consumes all our time while we barely notice it. its justa theory, but think for your self, how many hours do you spend on your smartphnoe or on the interwebs. what have you been doing in 2014? for me internet kills many hours every day and it feels like no time has past, but ofc many many hours are lost this way.
Jose Rodriguez
Ive been told that time is all about your perspective. If youre 10, one year is a 1/10th of your life but when youre 20 its 1/20th of your life, so it appears to be smaller
Joseph Martin
welcome to adult life user, you’ll look back on the days before this time with fondness.
Eli Gutierrez
How can time be sped up? Sped up compared to what reference? How would you be able to tell, when your brain's thinking processes are a function of time and would happen identically whether or not time was "sped up"?
Henry Scott
Could be.
But I do not spend so much time on the internet, thats it. Im a developer so I am 8 hours a day at the computer. Before I started my training in 2014, I have worked one year in a hotel. Ive got every second day free. But even those days werent ending so fast. I just remember, every day til 12 o clock was a fucking horror movie. And when Ive got free, Ive spend my time with friends outside.
I am maybe 1 hour on my phone daily if you sum up the whole time, so its not that much.
Plus I am lifting for one year every second day for about 1,5 hours. Ive tried to bring variety into my life. It seems for me that time just speeds up again, nothing changed.
Asher Williams
That's not how it works. Your brain still registers time at the same pace, and in fact when you get old your relative sense of time slows.
Alexander Wood
I'm glad it's not just me that thinks this. This year's been a joke. Everyone keeps asking what day it is. We just assumed it's because the Bongs of Big Ben were silenced
Jack Adams
My only reference is my memory, how fast one second gone over when I was a kid. Everybody got this feeling of how long one secon lasts in our head. But when I am doing this little experiment with my memory of one second, it doesnt match with the one second of today. Sure I can not be sure or trust myself for this memory. But I got friends, who are thinking the same like me. Thats why I asked Jow Forums, maybe someone here got exact the same story to tell / the same memory of one second
Aiden Rogers
I'm 40 next year and this was the first year that was as bad as this.
Asher Ortiz
You're literally just getting older, it's no conspiracy. Like other user said, wait until you're approaching your 30s and you won't even bother learning what year it is, because by the time you remember, it'll be another new year.
Dylan Rogers
when youre young you have a net amount less memories, so any new ones seem more special and appear to last longer.
But as you age you gain more and more memories which makes it seem liek time is moving faster.
tl;dr your perception of time is tied to how much past you have, the more past, the faster it appears to move
Chase Myers
Lol wait until you’re 30 friend. It all just blends together and then you’re 40 in a blink.
Anthony Ortiz
Sounds like the accuracy of your brain's "clock" has drifted. What would be an alternate explanation? That time is becoming like the clock in GTA, where days pass very quickly and you can't get much done in them?
Noah Price

Christopher Russell
one of us One of us One of us. ONE OF US.
Colton Flores
dont say that, you make it sound like its inevitable, which is not true. i think many ppl lose meaning in their life, but it dont has to be that way. its no natural process, its our degenerate society.
Leo Jackson
That's kind of it. The real reason is because time, as we age becomes a smaller percentage of our life. If that makes sense. So you're 1 day old, that means to live another day will feel like an eternity because a day is 100% of your life. As we age that percentage gets smaller and smaller. I hope I made some sense, idk how to articulate my thoughts properly
Robert Perez
OP is a fag
Talking about “time moving faster” isn’t politics you fucking autist, kill yourself
Blake Gutierrez
pls explain user
the last two years I’ve knuckled down at work and worked really hard to make a name for myself and prove to my doubters that I can do the job, all of that has come to fruition in the last few months, but fuck me, the last two year’s have flown by.
Aaron Sullivan
Is it possible it has something to do with staring at screens all day?
Thomas Torres
You are a fag.
Could be, but why does it goes so fast too, even when I am not at work?
David Butler
My mom is 52 and this is the first time she said anything of the sort. She explicitly asked me if I feel that time is just rushing forward and faster that it's supposed to be. This is a woman who has zero awareness or interest in anything outside the most normie of normie stuff.
I noticed the erratic flow of time much sooner, years ago. Sometimes it seems to almost grind to a halt while (usually) it just speeds away. I'm not sure but this seems to coincide with big world events, but time doesn't slow down when these occur - it speeds up. However if we are to take this at face value we must recognize that a change in the flow of time is theoretically caused by something so fundamental that it is basically wholly outside human control. Maybe.
Michael Cox
kek, this
Justin Watson
You are like a fucking teenager going "wow I bet nobody before me has ever felt this pain"
Ian Gutierrez
thank you user, finally someone with a similar opinion
I think Cern and the experiments could be done this
Cooper Stewart
>that shit was six and a half years ago Jesus, maybe OP is onto something
getting old is like falling off a building. faster and faster toward becoming a greasy stain on the pavement.
Mason Robinson
I don't know, I have plenty of meaning in my life. Maybe some people are just wired differently. I've always been slow to adopt the new year, taking around a month or so to do so/ I think I just realized it doesn't really matter and I focus even more on living my actual life than worrying about remembering how to quantify that in years, age, etc. When I was a kid, I never got my age wrong because it always felt like there was a big difference between 10 or 11 and such, since I had jack shit going on for me when I was young.
Cooper Garcia
>greasy stain Maybe if you consume McDisgusting for 5 meals per day
Samuel Smith
>time suddenly seems to past much faster once you reach adulthood.
Everyone who grows up finds this out eventually. I am still irritated that not a single adult throughout my entire childhood or adolescence bothered to warn me even though later conversations revealed that they all knew.
Elijah Perez
>Look at a Moon >It runs all across the sky like a fucking Nascar
Time is relative. Its not that time speeds up but rather the older you get the shorter 1 second on a clock is.
A good example is this. When you were very young did your parents ever put you into a corner as a punishment for say 5 minutes? In your mind it was torture was it not? Now today the same punishment you would perceive such a thing as very trivial.
Justin Wilson
>Younger life is full of little punctuations, first kiss, new school year, first sexy tiem, first holiday, first everything.
I was depressed and withdrawn for my whole childhood and had pretty well none of the milestones of a normal life but it still felt longer than it did now that I'm older and have found peace and happiness.
Childhood was actually a nightmare for me because of everything feeling so slow and long. Periods of desperate anxiety and confusion are tolerable now because they feel relatively short and I know they will pass. When I was 8 and an hour could feel like an eternity, intense sustained anxiety felt like hell. The only thought that stopped me from killing myself was "if hell is real, it will be worse".
Daniel Fisher
And now you understand why age old beings in sci fi show no appreciation for humanity. If you lived for 1000 years human problems would seem inconsequential to you too.
