It's 2018 why am still forum.

The real question is that if "how is X still happening in 2018?" is to mean anything at all, why do people change it so much?
I mean, a few years ago, I remember people saying something similar:
"how can X happen in 2013?"
And sometime around then, I'm pretty sure I heard someone say, like:
"it's 2012: why is X happening?"

The real answer is, of course, that there's a document , found in the vaults of Nostradamus, which detailed out the year, using the Julian calendar, when we could precisely expect things to stop happening.
For example, people exclaiming "my toast is burnt even though I used the same setting as last time, how is this still happening in 2018!!!??" are, in fact, being entirely reasonable in their displeasure, as Nostradamus' records specified that inconsistent toaster controls would no longer be an issue beyond 2002.

It's 2018, why can't we delete our own posts?
don't you realise it is [current year]
this a thing too...I'm sure i've asked on here before but why put 'insert current year', instead of just 2018 or whatever year it is?

I don't know if this is a general question or directed at dowie (who does it a lot) but I'm also interested in this.
because it is sarcasm and I don't mean it in the usual sense of "it is 2018" etc.. but rather it is a reference to people using that line

People have ben saying this nonsense for a long time. Off the top of my head I can think of examples from Victorian England, but I'd bet it goes back further. I can imagine an ancient Roman saying something like "It's 400 AUC, why do I need my father's permission to marry?", for example.

We're doing things with our time that our parents read about in sci-fi or saw in fanciful TV shows.
I'd try to explain posting on computer forums at 1am to my mother but I fear she'd go for a late abortion

I'm thinking the OP means why in 2018 are people still mean and intolerant to gays, trans, shorts , fatties, thinnies, ethnics, muslims, jews. etc.
Some people are just not cut out to live in the real world.
My personal gripe is why in 2018 I can't buy tapered legged jeans with a 36 waist that aren't ******* stretchy , for **** sake is it that difficult ?

Well thier reasoning would be its 2018 it is now entirely feasible to eat a vegan diet

Is it perhaps because despite not experiencing events prior to being born we have this amazing ability to learn what happened from a number of equally amazing sources? We don't have to have experienced something to know of it and even understand it.
It's 2018 for goodness sake, you should know this.
