TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

Even ignoring how obviously wrong this is about how old other countries are, America turns 250 in 2026 not 2025 lol

I know this not because I paid attention in history class, but because I played Fallout 76 where the vault dwellers celebrate America's Tricentennial before leaving the vault and find it a wasteland.

Bicentennial Quarters anyone? 1776-1976.

Be right back, those kids are on my lawn again.
