In season 5 episode 9 (spoilers ofc), we see that Bird Person first met Rick when he was Memory Rick age (35~ y/o Rick) (see image one). And at the end of that same episode, when they're all running through memories to get out of BP's mind, they go through one they call "Squanchy's terrible standup phase", where we see a younger Rick, already friends with BP and Squanchy, but he looks like he did when he lost Diane (see image two), short hair, blue pants, etc. So, how is this possible if they just showed us Rick met them when he was older? I love Rick and Morty for their science and accuracy with detail but this one has been buggin me
