2060-12059 10,000yrs of re-building civilization in which Spencers and Sbarro (and other restaurants beginning with the letter S) re-evolve as pinnacles of fine dining.
The problem is, if you put it this far into the future, you're exponentially less likely to have a grandad who loved A Christmas Story and John Woo but was depressed by Four Non-Blondes. And surely the year-numbering system would have reset after the first apocalypse. It's probably closer to your first idea, where it was all still fresh enough that you could hear firsthand accounts of the Before Times.
Yeah we might have to go farther into the future through a number of 10,000 year cycles before we re-resolve to that grandads preferences.
And yes you are right about the numbering system. It did/will reset after the first apocalypse but as the late great Alfred P. Einstein so eloquently pointed out in his seminal work the Origin of the Feces: "Year numbering systems are always addressed from the perspective of the beholder, at least in timelines where there also exists DOS games entitled Eye of the Beholder 3 - the Third Beholding".
I guess more of the former; the kind of gas physics of the Fizzy-Lifting drink in Willy Wonka (the Gene Wilder version) or Howard Stern during the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards
C! So many lava lamps and weed posters to take cover behind!
D for dot-dot-dot
What year is this set in? I'm thinking 2060AD
or maybe ...
12060AD
Timeline:
2060: Apocalypse,
2060-12059 10,000yrs of re-building civilization in which Spencers and Sbarro (and other restaurants beginning with the letter S) re-evolve as pinnacles of fine dining.
12059AD: Apocalypse 2
12060: Post Apocalypse <===== You are here

Excellent points all around.

I vote for C
then later I am hoping sometime he can do B by using some kind of gas related physics :)
Now, just to be clear, do you mean gas as opposed to solids and liquids, or gas as in petrol? Asking for a friend.

Haha. C
