Question: how fucking old?
Option 1: only 100 or less go fuck yourself history laughs at you
Option 2: 200 to 300 years you feel like you live somewhere important
Option 3: 400-600 years gotta love colonialism
Option 4: up to 1000 years is kind of interesting since this era sucked
Option 5: 2000 plus year we can all agree is very old and something needs to change

i was driving around my 'meh' city today and it occurred to me that it was pretty old. 324 years old in fact. seems like the human race is stuck in these old ass out dated systems of living we call cities.

Roseville was established in 1948, so less than a hundred years. Granted, some of the land comprising Roseville used to be part of St. Paul, which has been around since 1854. Still, less than two hundred years old.

First europeans reached Yuma in 1540. First missions were established in the 1680s. All settlement was destroyed in the 1870s during a flood and the town was refounded in the 1880s

Cities are still a relatively modern marvel. Especially with the high populations that used to be unsustainable

According to wikipedia it was founded in 1831, so 185 years. (Though some other website says 1770. So who knows. Maybe it was just officially founded in 1831 or maybe there was a name change. I don't know.) Or it looks like it was incorporated in 1831, after looking into it more.

Though technically I guess I live in a suburb that's an unincorporated buffer zone between that city and another one and it's a census-designated place. And I have no idea how old that is.

no fucking way bangkok is at the mouth of the gulf of fuxming thailand, there is no way bitch ass dirty south asians were not living  there on that strategic area.

fun fact during human migration east and south from africa, tens of thousands of years ago, water levels were lower so the whole indonesia basin up to thailand and down to australia. and little monkey people traveled in the exposed and largely intact island chain which today comprises many island landmasses. even those fuckers probably ate a bird or two in bangkok.

Huh, apparently Bangkok really is only from the 15th Century. That's pretty amazing. Founded as a trading settlement.
