@lowqualityfacts This is one of those high quality facts that sometimes finds its way into my feed. 🙂

@lowqualityfacts My hair went gray from all the burnt gunpowder.

@lowqualityfacts

For testing purposes, I set the date and time in my computer's BIOS to January 1st, 2000, many weeks before New Year's Eve.

When I reverted the setting only minutes later, it was already too late: my hair stayed all gray.

@lowqualityfacts You know I don't like to talk about that!

It takes a lot of dye to keep up this sham! 😭

@lowqualityfacts
Couldn't tell under the dye with mine & anyway, the real trouble was on 9/9/99

@lowqualityfacts I stayed up all night watching 1999 turn to 2000 around the world on TV. It was nerve-wracking.

I did verify one casualty: The Genie online service died that night. I watched forum after forum disappear into the Nothing, and hung out with other death-watchers until the very end.
