A line from the movie, Philomena (2013), that stuck with me for ten years

Philomena: You don't believe in God Mr Sixsmith?

Martin Sixsmith: No, and I think he's starting to suspect me.

Of course. What, do you think I'm the president? A movie like that doesnt go out of date. It was based on a book by Sixsmith. It really happened. Today, I'm not sure if saidit is joking or not. You ever feel that way?

I'm not saying it went out of date. I'm saying time goes by fast. 'Tfw' is jargon from 4chan and it means 'that feel when'. I miss 4chan culture so I'm trying to bring it here.

Oh. A friend told me that time is going by faster now than ever before. (?!) The conversation was moving so fast I couldn't ask him to explain. Maybe something to do with CERN.

The other day I encountered someone I hadn't seen in a while in the library. He said hi and as I was opening my mouth, suddenly he'd disappeared right in front of my eyes. I looked around, and almost everyone was gone. A librarian popped up and said it was closing time. I noticed that it was dark outside. Seven hours had passed. It was the weirdest thing.

Now I know you're joking. I did NOT believe my friend when he said it (Time is speeding up.) but I wanted to ask him about it anyway. Your last message would be a good beginning for a SciFi story.

I joke a lot. Although my top-level comment didn't contain a joke, I think there was miscommunication going on there.
