Saying “and a half” sounds childish, it’s ok to round up if it’s legit 11 and a half. I’m 5’9 and a half and definitely say 5’10. Gimme that extra place value in my height.

That’s exactly me, I’m something like 5’11” and a half. I say 6’ but every time I feel like I’m lying

That is foreshortening or whatever it’s called…some Gandalf/Frodo photographic tricks.

Our brain most strongly remembers novel experiences. If you've done the same thing over and over again it all kind of blends together, but something new sticks out. This is also why time seems to pass more quickly as you get older, you're having less novel experiences.

Watching the invasion realtime is something none of us have experienced before and was really stressful for most people. It was also smack in the middle of a time where most people had really boring day-to-day lives due to pandemic restrictions, so it REALLY sticks out.
