>Our perception of days, weeks, years and that kind of time seems to be especially influenced by our perspective
>the perception of time is also influenced by memory and how much you’ve experienced.
>For an 8-year-old, a week is a big portion of their life.
>For an 80-year-old, a week is a much smaller portion of their life, which contributes to the feeling that it went by quickly.
>For the 80-year-old, their life probably doesn’t look too different than it did when they were 78 or 79, so, in that case, they’re looking back on fewer events
>When you’re looking back, the less rich your representation is, the more it’s going to seem like the time went by quickly.
>In other words, our brains lump time together when the days or weeks are similar.
>So for an 80-year-old who largely does the same thing every day, the year is going to blend together in their mind and feel like it went by quickly.
The more samey your days are, the less your brain will care to remember. Your time shitposting on /mlp/ every day is taking your perception of time away from your life and you will just wake up aged faster than you remember, piling regret that you didn't do something else.
