it's a stupid thing to say on a more basic level as well, since you'll have guys like @Honest hear you and immediately assume you are an idiot to fulfill their daily quota of "holy shit, normies are retarded, therefore I'm special" trauma relievers

it's kind of wrong though since a light year is the same in length as a regular year so it make no sense to use it to measure time
