General clarification on works content


* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'', 30 years have passed since Doc Brown first got the idea to make the time machine and the time machine's completion (1955 to 1985). In the [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII sequel]], Doc Brown chooses to go thirty years into the future specifically because "it's a nice round number", but at the end of the film the time machine gets struck by lightning and goes back to 1885, which is 100 years before the start of the first film and 70 years before the year Marty was currently in when Doc got sent back.

* ''Fanfic/TheArchmagesLastBow'' lampshades this, but then justifies it. Harmonic Convergence is a cosmic event that happens every TenThousandYears according to the pony calendar, which Nova Shine scoffs at, but Star Swirl adds that it's an event so significant to the alicorn dating system that they oriented their entire calendar around making the math work out, and every equine calender since has been derived from it, so the math still checks out.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' both plays straight and subverts it. Link's statis was exactly 100 years long, but people in both "now" and "a century ago" refer to the previous battle against Ganon as "10,000 years ago" since a single century is peanuts next to that.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' both plays straight and subverts it. Link's statis was exactly 100 years long, but prior to the start of the game, Link was severely injured and went into stasis to recover. There was another war said to have occurred 10,000 years prior to Link being attacked, meaning that by the time of the game, that war would be 10,100 years ago. However, the people in both "now" and "a century ago" prior to Link's stasis refer to the previous battle against Ganon as "10,000 years ago" ago", since a single century is peanuts next to that.

* The French animated film ''Animation/{{Gandahar}}'' directed by Rene Laloux has TheHero Silvain placed in a stasis tube for exactly one thousand years, in case the great brain Metamorphe goes rogue as the prophecy predicts. The tribe of deformed mutants quotes that prophecy to Silvain: "In a thousand years, we were doomed. A thousand years ago, we will be saved." This extends to their speech pattern, using "was/will be" as a regular conjugate of "be." The TimeyWimeyBall bounces all over this one.

* "{{WebVideo/Nightfall}}": The news anchor in this adaptation reports that the astronomers have identified the eclipse as occurring every two millennium, rather than the more precisely accurate 2049 years. Probably a deliberate InUniverse [[InvokedTrope invocation]] to play up the importance of the broadcast and keep things simple for their audience.
