as a gen Z I still don't get why Y2K was such a big deal
It was actually a bit of a big deal. Luckily it got figured out with enough time to fix it before it really effected anything. They were pulling cobalt programmers out of retirement to fix old systems and auditing anything important for years before 2000.

3 or more possible WW3's
It is not unfair to clock the first bit. But you can't count hypothetical WW3s. That's like Boomers saying they lived through Hypothetical Nuclear Winter.
Also, if we're counting recessions as millennials, you can't neglect the '87 crash and the '01 dot-com bubble. If we're counting plagues, you can't leave out AIDS.
Hey! Hey now! I might hit 40 before world war 3. Let's stay optimistic about this.

I've become convinced after the recent India/Pakistan conflict that WW3 is near impossible under current conditions just due to the fact that you start losing your very expensive airforce really really quickly.
It seems the Ukraine conflict and the U.S's plans to counter China's push on Taiwan indicate that the future of warfare is:
....Just...a gazillion, never-ending swarms of coordinated, "cheap", militarized drones....
