I see what you did there :)
We shouldn't encourage people who can't properly read and understand a comment before replying either, but here we are talking to you who jumped on correcting the “2 or 3 years” to “19 years” without noticing that “2007” was in the post so the poster was obviously well aware of that.

1. That is not the joke. It is referencing how humans experience the passage of time at massively different rates to the actual reality, especially as we age.
2. Humour is subjective. So is, to an extent, the amount of it that is acceptable in a given environment. Sense of humour is sometimes objectively non-existent, as you helpfully illustrate by clear example.
Which is why I first included the possibility the commenter didn't know the current year.
>humans experience the passage of time at massively different rates
The commenter did not say anything related to this. The relative speed of time was not referenced.
>that is acceptable in a given environment
Humor is not very acceptable on this website compared to others, so it's important to protect this and not let outsiders from other sites to try and bring their humor here.

But it was implied, by the very common joke format. You made no direct reference to the current year. Your argument there would be more convincing if you were as clear and detailed in your meaning as you expect everyone else to be.

Thank you, Mr Account-Created-In-2021, for defending those of us who have been around since 2013, 2011, and 2010, from outsiders like ourselves!
