I can assure you that the world's oldest person is most certainly still alive.

If it makes anyone feel better, I was watching The Wedding Singer yesterday. And it dawned on me. It takes place in 1985. So if Back to the Future was today, that's like when Marty went back to 1955. When I saw BTTF, even now when I watch it again, 1955 seemed so long before 1985. But now 1985 seems like yesterday. >

We are farther away from 1985 in 2023 than they were to 1955. That’s what really blows my mind. Because when I saw BTTF in 1985, 1955 seemed like a whole different world. 
I think about that a lot when trying to grasp the POV of those under 30ish. >

The joke that always got me in that series is when 1955 Doc sees some Japanese electronics and is all like "well there's your problem" and Marty replies "Japan?  That's where all the cool stuff is made!"
Then I realized how fresh World War 2 would have been in everyone's mind in 1955 and suddenly the joke got way more real. >

The world's oldest person died again? 
Geez, it's like that title is cursed!
