Around 2 out of 3 people on Earth, got to party and ring in the New Year in the year 2000 when they were old enough to be excited about it (assuming a conscious age of 10 years)

I wasn’t excited. I was too busy wondering how people in the US were too stupid (a general humanity problem to be sure) to realize the world wasn't ending when nothing happened in all the other time zones that transitioned to the new year before us.
