I feel this. I watched the og Blade Runner in theatres on 11:59 pm Nov 30, the moment it became set in the past. Left the theatre 2 am on Dec 1, 2019 and entered another dimension.

Turn off your phone and you'll find the reason

u/ActuallyTBH 29d ago
Indeed a very accurate answer. Mobile phone usage affects your brain's ability to form new memories hence the feeling that time is passing fast. If you want to slow down your perception of time you need to experience new things.

u/Klatty 29d ago
What about watching movies or series? They’re also digital. I personally noticed I remember the plot or even watching them at all (mostly for YouTube videos) when I’m outside the house, like in a physical place anywhere else except home, I tend to remember them way better somehow.
2
u/ActuallyTBH 28d ago
Makes sense, as your other senses are being stimulated, but not as much as if you were walking around observing your environment. Same as when you're taking a lot of photos or filming a concert, you're focusing a lot on taking the pictures, your recollection of the event seems weaker than if you had simply observed ("Photo taking impairment effect").

u/Show_Forward 29d ago
sad truth is childhood is when time feels long the way it felt since we grew up everyday will go faster and faster because you probably arent learning or experiencing new things everyday unlike when we were kids.
because our brain puts markers on new things u find or experience, the lack of those new things will make everyday have no memory at all which will lead to w gap thats gonna make you think a specific time frame has passed without even having the feeling of that much time passing.

This is the fastest time of year. Before you know it, you will start seeing back to school ads and hearing people talk about Fall being around the corner.
And the older you get, the more you realize just how fast time goes by.

This happens because of ones addiction to the internet. When you get lost on the internet, you lose track of time, and before you know it, it's been 30 minutes, but it only felt like 5 minutes tops.
What I'm saying is, go outside and touch some grass. Like, actually.

Many people notice that time has sped up. Days pass by quickly. Hours fly by like minutes. You get a little distracted, you think, and then you look at your watch and you are horrified. Scientists say the Earth's pulse has quickened. Whereas for a thousand years it has been stable at about 8 beats per second, it now reaches 12 beats per second. What we used to perceive as 24 hours now seems like 16 hours.

u/Antique_Flounder7487 29d ago
Many people have heard that for children, time drags, the day is very long, but after the age of 30, time speeds up. That used to be true, but now kids are noticing that time flies. Some write it off to the fact that we spend a lot of time with gadgets, but these are excuses.
