Y2K scare of 2000

[@coreyrowe4119]

20 years later shortly after the calendar rolled over from 2019 to 2020 we got hit with a new crisis we didn't even see coming.

[@WillScarlet16]

January 31st 1999 I was with my family riding the elevator to the top of my dad's office building to watch the fireworks... and the elevator STOPPED, and the lights went out. For a full minute we were all panicking thinking it was really happening. Then the lights came back on and we rode up.

[@Lighthouse6104]

Oh god 😂😭😂

[@Blodreina1kru]

January 31st?? Don't you mean December?

[@arasseo_wakarimashita3904]

You cant imagine it was 22 years ago...its just like yesterday

[@sweetheart2579]

Being 12 at that time I was kind of disappointed nothing happened 😂

[@peterlejon2168]

I was a programmer and tech support engineer in the 90ties. I can assure you that the y2k problem was very real. Companies have invested a lot of resources to check their software and eliminate this problem. Thanks to these efforts, a lot of problems were avoided. I ran into some y2k problems in the beginning of 2000, but without all this preparation , the situation would have been much worse.

[@robertdeffenbaugh9004]

I was 7 and nobody told me about this Y2K bug. I found out during the 2012 doomsday hoax. Which is interesting because the 2012 doomsday hysteria was also about a Calendar but Y2K was a way more serious threat apparently.

[@oguzhankarahan1737]

The 2012 doomsday hoax was complete nonsense.

[@betterthanemril988]

And 2020 started off normal and then…

[@theearth8785]

[@BLOODYXJK57]

I was 6 years old i was too young to remember my dad didn't even care he know it wasn't gonna happen lol so my brothers turn all the lights off and wait

[@SwiitKALEL]

I was 26 years old at the time and I was thinking this was to big of a hoax to happen.

[@Terrakinetic]

And then the next one was 2012, the Mayan Apocalypse.

[@mikethepokemaster2012]

[@SinulogQueen]

Year 2000 is a new millennium

[@katchrist_]

People born in the 60s in the US, must’ve been a crazy time. They were literally around my age, during this time. Just wow

[@michael85225]

I was 9 years old and this really freaked me out when I was a kid. I remember my parents said this was all BS and to not worry.

[@shad118]

I though the planes were gonna fall out the sky 😅😅

[@bendejo8]

As a gen z this video is actually really fucking funny to watch and the fact that people believed this is ridiculous

[@GrapeCheckerBoard]

It was only not a problem because people spent a lot of time fixing it. The collective amount of money spent on combing through systems and upgrading software and replacing hardware wherever a two-digit year was around $500 billion. A handful of mostly harmless bugs still made it through-libraries sometimes issued thousand+ dollar late fees, for example. On a related note, the Y2K Bug knocked Berlin’s emergency dispatch phone number, forcing the fire department to patrol the city that night.

[@TheSouthernSiren]

I think they lied to us. the world really did turn upside down😂

In 2023 we realize there is WAY TOO MUCH tech. We’d have been better off if Y2K actually HAD happened.
