Never buy a used year, they sound good until you find the society has moved on and everyone else is living in a new 2026 model you don’t want to restart society from scratch do you?
In America, someone like me would’ve been casually get called a “chink” in 1995 (I’m Chinese American)
don’t even think the 1995 America would’ve elected a Black Man… that’s how racist society used to be
fuck that era, fuck the past.
The past isn’t as pretty as you think.
Sorry, don’t wanna bring up race, but like… I feel like this is a very white-centric viewpoint.
January 1, 2026 will be the beginning of a new tomorrow, for NYC, and soon, the rest of America. They can throw money all they want, but as NYC has show us, we can defeat big money. Choose hope, not despair.
Maybe 2009:
Dubya was out of the White House and Obama still hadn’t evolved into his final Centrist form, making it theoretically still possible to influence him towards governing more like the 2008 campaign Obama
Facebook was still barely bigger than MySpace, Twitter was still pretty good rather than a fascist safe space, Google had yet to ruin YouTube, and enshittification was generally the exception rather than the rule
An Inconvenient Truth was still relevant and most countries at least did a halfway decent job of PRETENDING to care about the future livability of the planet
Still early enough to pump and dump Bitcoin to death, preventing cryptocurrency from becoming the go-to money laundering tool of rich crooks everywhere including the current president
Windows 7, the best ever and last good Windows is released
The first international Trans Day of Visibility is celebrated with few if any fascists trying to murder anybody present
Plus a bunch of bad things, but next to nothing compared to every single subsequent year.
There may be some rose tinted glasses there bud. 2009 was also the peak year for people losing their homes and unemployment from the 2008 financial crisis. The wars in the middle east were in full swing. Plus way more people who thought the world would end in 2012 than you would think which was so annoying.

More like picking a year almost at random and then seeing how the better than recent years it sounds, but you’re right about the rest 😁
now with double the surveillance fascism!
I would KILL for another 1995.
Heck yeah…Just in time to make a push to finish my CS degree right at the height of the .com boom and Y2K cleanup. The world is my oyster. If I can reuse my current knowledge, maybe go join some startup that actually makes it.
I’ll take 2002 with a pinch of salt please. Thank you.
I’ve got a 2001 I can get you with a steep discount.

idk I’m not sure
tbf I took a quick glance through some other years and they all had major tragedies
Hey, it’s a used year! You’re going to have issues. Save a bit and just expect it. But remember that used years are reliable and parts easy to find.
But if you get the First Gen 2026, it’s untested! If you have issues, who are you going to ask? The guys on the 2026Repairs Forums? What if there’s a recall and you have to get a rental 2020 in the mean time?
you make a good point
where do I sign
I have a really bad credit score
2009 didn’t seem so bad, relatively.
There’s never been a new year by the time you enter the work force, it’s more of a used year but if you’re lucky you get reconditioned year.
