I can indeed confirm that Michael from vsauce is older than 8 years now.

Both my grandmothers were born in 1926 and are still alive and well in 2022, though one is physically significantly stronger.
Their stories are fascinating. One of them escaped from Poland to Sweden during WW2 because her brothers didn’t want to fight, and eventually back to the U.S. She used to have a well for water and an outhouse, now she’s playing Wordle.

One of the greatest things about YouTube: being able to go back and see some of your favorite content creators from 10 years ago like it was today.

The nostalgia.. YouTube recommended this again in 2022. Checked on those 37 people born in the 1800s, last one died in 2016 RIP. Life is so short, this video was always great at inducing a existential crisis.

“You’ll have your first kiss”
*sadness intensifies*

[Saltee]

It's so sad that the government has to keep classified the location of the oldest tree for fear that humans would go out and kill it.

[joggie.]

You have your first kiss...
Introvert teenagers: "No, I don't think I will."

I remember watching this vid as a 12 year old. Now, someone that was born "last year" would be turning 12 this year. Crazy.

When you paint your whole wall green and don’t use it as a green screen...

Me: "Hey what's up?"

My life has started to feel as if it’s sped up as months go by really fast, and I’m only 23, however, ever since starting flight school this month, and learning to fly a plane, time has seemed to slowed wayyyy down. Makes sense given this context, I’m learning so so so much, time couldn’t possibly move faster. This July has been my longest month in years

Imagine being a person who can say "22 years ago, I had my 100th birthday"

[SanMarinoMcs]

imagine being 120 years old and having a grandchild dying of old age! 🤯

[asembode]

This actually makes me feel a lot better, ive been struggling with this concept for years. I guess this is my sign to start going out and exploring again

[sparklymop]

Is this the first "modern-style" Vsauce video?
