Wow, a calendar that automatically shortens the description of the month when you're further away, fancy!

That might actually be possible in the fire if flexible e-paper becomes a thing, just need to figure put where to put the electronics
Edit:
You could also just set up a regular e-paper / e-ink display in a frame as well and have it display a calender and just integrate the electronics into the frame
Couldn’t you possibly do it with prisms? Like those holographic cards and such that show different things from different angles.
Yeah, the way they work is based on your eyes seeing two slightly different images because of the difference in their angle to the prisms. By having one image, the full name of the month, shown through the widely diverging angle made when you are closer and a second image, the short version, shown when the diverging angle is more acute you could have the two options visible. Everything in between would be a bit of a crapshoot though, with a muddy mix of both. Your brain likes to figure out images that can make sense, but text can be very weird and in situations like this it would probably be very muddy and more distracting than cool.
Or the reason for being cool for some. It really depends on your viewpoint, both of them.
That kind of thing will all be doable and everywhere when/if AR is as widespread as smart phones are.
I know right? It's totally 2010 last year
And every year of the 90s is 10 years ago. Always.
I'm getting into an age, where my experienced decades are becoming an abstract blur and every year more conscious that i am now in the far far future i fantasized about, when i was young.
It changes perspectives and expectations of what's to come.
Love this
And it turns out the future sucks.
Yeah, pretty disappointed... On one hand the computer dream came true and surpassed my expectations, but on the other hand everything else went down the hill and hasn't even reached the bottom yet.
Wibbly wobbly
Timey-wimey, too!
I'm in this content, and I don't like it.

Why had this become such a common joke/small talk these day? This felt like a phenomenon back in 2020/2021, but now I’m just so numb to time flying by fast.
I stopped paying attention. Anytime I actually check the date, it's like a little surprise.
"Oh, it's 2023 now, that's interesting. And it's December. Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool."
It's always been a joke for middle and old age. We are just aging into these jokes
I don’t get it.
At first the person thought it was an earlier month, and upon looking at a calendar they realize that they also thought it was an earlier year.
