New Years Eve 1999 (The Y2K scare)

[Whoswills]

How weird is it that Y2K is a clothing style 😂

[ManThatsMental]

Still do not understand HOW a computer would decide to just die because of a simple date…

[VintageCharms]

My dad was a tech geek. He wasn’t worried, so we didn’t prepare 🤣

[misha]

I remember Y2K! It's crazy to think that it was 23 years ago!!! What happend to the time!??

[justinhoward]

I remember talking to my friends on 3 way calling and us waiting to see what happened ofcorse the clock struck 12 and we all went silent for a bit and burst into laughter after nothing happened, meanwhile inside we all where so worried and thankful nothing did! LOL

[sherbear]

i was not born just yet but i heard stories that blows my mind and here we are surviving at least 3 "EOTW" situations

[bornexile]

Good old y2k. Yeah. I got ready for it.

[trasktalker]

You could have actually mentioned what Y2K was all about, you know the computers and clocks resetting to 0 and people thinking it would cause nukes to launch and stuff.

[ThatssoSydney]

Ok so for those who don’t under 😊: basically people feared “y2k” or the “2000s” because they thought the world was going to end. They thought everything built up was going to be over. So they bought up all the food and decided to fill their tubs full of water 😂

[dystopianexile]

I remember it well. Even prepared for it. SIGH

[KoazyGotU]

I have a story kinda similar
So one time my mom watched this show and if you weren’t asleep by 12 o’clock you died
So I thought it was true

[Krayziie]

So your telling me I was never there for Y2k and I probably won’t be there for Y3k? 😭

also Y2k sounds awfully a lot like Covid but instead of a disease it’s a year

[PraveenSrJ]

I was 16 years old 24 years ago in 1999

“But luckily we all survived”
But what about little Timmy who was hit by a car at exactly midnight on Y2K?

[cyphergeizt]

i found this while trying to find a clip i remember on tv the night of new year 2000. a man listing things that will happen, saying "things gonna go boom". maybe a snl skit? dont remember, but it had a jay leno late night show aesthetic. anyone else remember this?

[CRISTAREWANDOSEWEY]

I used y2k as an excuse to buy tons of mountain dew boxes lol

[billyrob]

Expect that again around 2034(I think) due to 32-bit programs hitting the date limit. If there still in use

People like to mock the fear, but it was for a very good reason. Many computers were corrected, and so "not much" happened, but some things did happen. That night I watched the new year role in in Paris, France. At the stroke of midnight, their computer system scrambled, live on the air, and the light display had a nonsensical pattern. In Canada, a water treatment facility dumped what was altered to 100 years worth of poisons into the water supply, and 9 people drank their home water and died before they could warn people.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 


"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 


"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 


"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9


“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20


"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 


"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
