So I went to the world clock website here:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
And I counted every time there was a tick in seconds on my hand while by mouth I counted time the way I remember it passing in my childhood. 1 Mississippi, 2 mississippi, etc.
What I found was that the time on the clock had 14 seconds passed (hand count) while only 10 seconds had passed by when I counted by mouth.
I then asked ChatGPT how much faster time is passing based on these numbers. It said that the clock time is passing by around 40% faster than what I counted. Or that my count was 74% slower than it should be.
However, it wouldn't admit that there actually is a discrepancy in time. It blamed me for slowing my counting down to create a perceived difference.
It also gave me a bunch of gaslight explanations like "When you get older time feels like it passes faster because you've been alive longer etc" (this is a common psyop distraction I have heard many time from people that try to explain why time is passing faster). The problem with this theory is that even younger generation feels like time is moving twice as fast.
Furthermore, on the macro scale I've been feeling like 2 weeks is passing by for every 1 week that I feel has passed. An entire month is gone while I feel only 2 weeks has passed internally.
So, there is definitely something strange going on.
In b4 someone says it's because I'm on my phone all the time or that I'm always using the internet. (no, it still passes by quickly regardless of me using the internet. It's the actual rate of time passing as I've shown you with my experiment of counting the clock separately from internal counting).
What do you guys think is actually going on here?

I think you are bad at counting in your head
Scientist have already come out and said time is speeding up … by seconds if i remember
Anyways yea, but it definitely is
This guys onto nothing. Keep it up
Your experiment is flawed, you need more objective data. You alone counting “ the way I remember it passing in my childhood. 1 Mississippi, 2 mississippi, etc.” is too subjective. Get more people counting this same style and see if there is any variation between you.
I think your method is not very well, but your point stands, it indeed does seem that time is going way faster since 2019. The last 6 years flew by it’s almost unreal. It is normal that time flies by when you are older but this feels unnatural.
Maybe Covid gave us collectively brainfog so we don’t register the feeling of time as before or forget things faster. Perhaps we are too busy on our phones and internet what we are wasting time without knowing. Or something shifted in the universe which we don’t understand. Or maybe Cern did fuck up again.
My dick keeps getting smaller too wtf.
Now this is the kind of schizo posting I come here for ⌚🥸 don’t fuck with the time police OP.
The thing is that you’re never going to be able to prove this, or even find any evidence.
It’s going to be clear to you that if the clocks themselves have sped up (which means all of them together in the entire world – digital, mechanical, pendulum etcetera) – they are still echoing the natural time periods they came from – 24 hours in a day and night cycle, roughly 90ish of those cycles in each of the four seasons, and 4 seasons making up the whole, seasonal year.
That is the real meaning of time. Clocks and watches point to that. So, essentially nothing measures time but time itself. There is no extra check on the progression of time so it will always be impossible to prove or evidence that it changes.
That is one approach.
The other is to say that clocks and watches are the check on the progression of time – but if you don’t want to believe the clocks and watches then you’re left scratching your head.
In a supernatural world it would be perfectly possible that every clock and watch goes faster together and slower together exactly when time speeds up or slows down.
But can you stretch to belief of that level of supernatural world?
When Eric, a man living in a cabin in the mountain who is completely detached from any society – builds for himself a traditional mechanism clock, it is suddenly on completion, what he is actually building is, a transdimensionally networked machine which will actually progress at a speed somebody unseen decides, exactly in keeping with every other timekeeping piece around the world.
Personally I believe the world is hugely supernatural, whilst this theory, all I can say, feels so strange. Who knows?
Science itself is now well into the highly weird. The concept that putting a piece of food into a sealed, airtight box is only exclusively affected by what is in the box (excepting external conditions applied such as temperature and vibration upon) is apparently now disproven – by spooky action at a distance and the pairs of linked quantum materials large distances apart.
Who knows?
No way you can accurately count Mississippi to the second in your head… that’s for one.
Two… even more unlikely you can do it accurately while at the same time counting on your fingers.
The older you get and the more mundane and repetitive your life gets as you get older, makes the days blend because your aren’t doing new things. Try making new memories to set as markers of time in your head and it will seem to pass like it once did.
That’s why time seems to speed up as we age. Try doing new things and making new memories like when you were younger. That or go get a shitty job you hate and watch how slow the time goes every time you look at the clock during your shift. LOL
Just opened that site and looked at where the clock was. Closed my eyes, counted 20 seconds out. Opened my eyes, I was exactly correct.
For your next experiment, you should put bread in the toaster and count Mississipi’s until it pops. Compare it to your memories of how long toast is supposed to take. If your Mississippi number is smaller, your toaster has adapted to the new speed of time. Extra points if you can blame 5G or Covid
My 7yr old asked me recently if time is speeding up. I was confused because when I was 7, time was like a tortoise.
Time however, is relative.
We had a couple days over Thanksgiving break that were slow as molasses, and I loved every minute. Time can certainly fly when you get into a groove where all your days are the same. When you aren’t really making fresh memories, it feels like you’re barely holding on.
Man regular analog clocks that don’t use internet still keep the same regular time
Furthermore, the older you get ,the time goes by faster. Did I miss the shitpost flair
Every aspect of reality from the flow of time to the structure of the cosmos is filtered, interpreted and constructed entirely through the irreducible lens of the observer’s consciousness.
This internal viewpoint which constitutes the whole of our experienced world is the single inescapable certainty of existence confining all knowledge and experience until death.
Since no external validation is possible outside of this subjective realm, all knowledge collapses into the foundational truth: “I think, therefore I am.
Yeah this post was the final nail to the coffin. Congratulations you killed the sub
