Celebrating new years in 2000 vs 2024

So people stopped enjoying the moment (in the moment) and started recording it and enjoy/stream later. We don't live anymore, we are "content creators"... I miss the old times!

The world's largest firework launched over Nagaoka, Japan.

Fast forward to today....We've forgotten how to live in the moment.

Love this ❤️

In the town of Chumbivilcas, near Cuzco in Peru, a unique annual celebration called Takanakuy takes place on December 25th. This ancient tradition, inherited from the pre-hispanic Chanka culture, serves as a way for community members to resolve conflicts and start the new year with a clean slate. Men, women, and children gather to engage in fist fights, which are supervised by local authorities. These fights are a way to settle grudges from the past year, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among the participants. After the fights, the community comes together to drink and celebrate, helping to ease any pain and strengthen the bonds within the community.

Celebrating the millennium was one of the best times ever 🎉

me trying my best

Okay this is really sad to see tbh. We live for mobiles in 2024

The contrast in enthusiasm between the New Year's celebrations of 2002 and 2024 in New York City's Times Square is truly striking

Not a single person is seen super excited in 2024, everyone just want to record
