This has been bugging the bejeezus out of me the last few days!

It’s time for a pit stop on this drive, so as I grab some caffeine I leave you with: Mountain Dew Baja Blast came out in 2004, making it nearly 5 times as old as the Confederacy.

I spent five years in undergrad (started at age 16 and switched majors about a dozen times), so I was attending pep rallies for the Binghamton Bearcats for longer than the Confederates were rallying the troops.

I’ve been meaning to scrape the parking decal from the last apartment I lived in off of my car for longer than the Confederacy was around.

An IUD lasts longer than the Confederacy.

Star Trek: TNG, Voyager, Deep Space 9, Discovery, and Lower Decks each aired - and showed us visions of a more tolerant future - for longer than the Confederacy was getting its ass kicked for being racist and treasonous.

Barack Obama’s presidency lasted almost twice as long as the Confederacy, bitches.

My dog, Luna, will be 4 this month, making her just *barely* younger than the confederacy. (You better expect birthday photos soon, though)

I’ll have been working at my current company in various roles for 5 years this December, meaning I’ve already been there 7 months longer than the Confederacy existed.

Figma’s public release was in 2016, so it’s more than twice the Confederacy’s age as well. Before that, Sketch came out in 2010, making it nearly 4 times as old as the Confederacy.
