The 20th Century...WTF Happened?

All of that happened after 1917, so basically we could still do the same.

Plus, you have to mention 9/11 for this century. So, in a way we are unfortunately ahead of the 20th century.

There is a timelapse video that a picture (what we think it looked like) of every decade for since the beginning of civilization or some shite. It's crazy to to see how far we've come in the 20th century. I'll have to find the video. Hang tight
