I'm 38 and can only agree that's how I expect life at 40 to be

[-] iamanurd@midwest.social 15 points 1 year ago

43 here. Hills are tough.

[-] rynzcycle@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Exactly, I'm 38 also, and this is already like 90% true. Just need a good walking stick.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 57 points 1 year ago

I know I will soon die

We should all remind ourselves that fact

[-] original_reader@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Speak for yourself. I intend to live forever.

Terenas: What is this? What are you doing, my son?

Arthas: Succeeding you, Father...

[-] TooMuchDog@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

"Thanks to denial, I'm immortal!"

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure thats literally the premise behind the immortal man in The Sandman.

[-] Perkele@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 10 points 1 year ago

Memento mori

[-] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 26 points 1 year ago

And not 1 mentioned depression and debt.

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

Or "sleep" turning from a refreshing undertaking into "wake up more exhausted than before bit now your back hurts"

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

And you have to go back to work

[-] Gilles_D@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

Sounds more like OP has to go work on the back. Haha!!

Yeah, bad puns are also something terrible that happens when turning 40.

I'll be 36 next month. I let myself slept in this morning until I woke up. I have a crick in my neck and the left side of my lumbar spine is a dull mass of burning discomfort. I'd rather sleep 6.5 hours every night than wake up feeling like this every day.

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

They did. They just spoke metaphorically.

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

I know I will die soon

This cracked me up way more than it should have

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

I am forty. My biggest fear is surviving another 40 years. I hope I can die soon.

Ya'll need to put the bong down and get up out of your gaming chairs every so often and move more. I'm 41 and I don't feel like this.

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago

Are you talking to the 8 & 9 year-olds?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

They shouldn't be doing drugs either.

[-] boot@lemmy.loungerat.io 6 points 1 year ago

Y'all need to fidget spin into a gym, don't smoke a drug and yolo the bible, cuz

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

That does sound like how I felt at 40.

[-] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago
[-] ezmack@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I started finding gray hairs around then

[-] Mylemmy@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago
[-] Rachelhazideas@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

As someone who got fibromyalgia in their 20s, that's what life is like.

[-] charliespider@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Lolz! Kids are stupid... those are things that happen when you're 50

[-] natecox@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Man those kids were spot on. Eerily accurate.

[-] drdabbles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

They were off base, but not by enough.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well the gray hair is partly true, at least.

Sincerely, graying 40yo

[-] The_Mike_Drop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am 40 and ready to die.

So its half accurate.
