I remember when I was young I could just turn on the TV, pick any channel, and I would watch a properly timed ball drop in New York.

Now? It took ages to find a new years countdown on youtube. Couldn’t find a decent option and eventually I settled on a tower in Texas that was in the central time zone.

Is there a good ball drop replacement for people who don’t own a TV and live purely online? It doesn’t need to be fancy, just count down without me having to synchronize watches -_-

    I think I saw one on Disney plus of all places. I saw it at 9 PM (I was tuning in for Skeleton Crew) and unless I read it wrong it had already been running for three hours. WTF? But I’m fifty. I have seen enough balls drop in my lifetime. I watched my Star Wars and was in bed by ten.

      Oooh, same here, but after we watched Skeleton Crew we waited till midnight, turned on the ball drop, kissed, hit the bowl, and went to bed.

      Best party ever.
