Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.
Japan...
i just really freaking love public transportation infrastructure
i want to ride ALL THE TRAINS
I sort of wonder if the next generation will still romanticize Japan in quite the same way. We're past the peak trendy-products era of Weird Sony and the Toyota MR2, anime is no longer a secret exotic thing, and it feels like if you want "15 years ahead of us optimistic techno future", you could easily slide in Chongqing or Seoul instead of Tokyo.
As far as I can tell, gen z's more into Korea, Japan already seems passé (being in a midlife crisis meme doesn't help)
Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.
Is this the guerrilla warfare copy pasta?
What do I do if mine's not on here? What kind of mid-life-crisis is this?
I picked drinking and having a band. Except that's also what I did from age 16 to 40. Maybe I've always been in crisis.
Add gardening, birdwatching, golf, volunteering?
!birding@lemmy.world is a community on Lemmy! we have birb
I'm turning into a bog witch
I've let like half my yard grow out and turn into a de facto butterfly garden. I've got a birdbath where I leave shineys for the crow. It's going pretty well, I recommend it.
I don't see "an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline" on here.
That comes under running , grad school and Japan
Oh wait. You said ignore...I had already committed and planned my escape to Japan
My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.
I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.
None of the above?
Strength training and returned to a hobby of my younger years - cars.
E: wouldn’t even call it a midlife crisis. Just finally having a little time to have a hobby and understanding that being healthy will extend what quality years I have left.
Where is the one for dating someone 15-20 years younger than you?
That's a sub class, if you pick running then you'll date a younger runner. If you pick Japan then you'll date a young Japanese person etc.
I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/5k@1.5% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).
Which AI generated slop are you?
I fell into running...hard. I went from almost no physical exercise to running marathons over the space of 2 years. Did my first 100km ultra in December.
I feel like I'm doing the midlife crisis thing wrong. I'm factionless atm. I'm also too tired to have a crisis. My time is spent going to work and trying to survive in a field that is increasingly difficult to survive in.
I'm jealous some people have time and energy to have a full on crisis on the side. You lucky, lucky bastards.
Le sigh. Grad school
Fuck, right as I got back into manga and anime...
But it's mostly rock climbing really.
Where is the drinking and BBQing one?
I'm only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I've gotten into ham radio. I think it's probably the most I've spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.
Edit: The most I've spent on a hobby to get started on a hobby, that is. I've definitely sank much more money into video games and when I played it Magic the Gathering.
What's with the popularity of pickleball these day? What happened to badminton?
People won’t stop laughing when you refer to the shuttle-cock.
So now we say “Slap that pickle, Chet!” And no one giggles.
Fucking math.
Yes give me sudden urge to self-study linear algebra for shits and giggles. Ima go look at math memes now.
I nearly failed math my entire life wdym it will suddenly become interesting for no reason.
I have done all of these. None of them were a midlife crisis - that was straight fucking.
Grad school but I can't afford it. Or running but my knees hurt so I got way too into bicycles
My closest one would be running. I started doing 5 minutes a day on an old exercise bike where the computer and thus the resistance motor didn't work in september, gradually adding more time as I got into better shape.
It was when I got a new one that actually works in mid January that I REALLY got going, though, and I've put in 90 hours for a total of 3813 km (2369 miles) since then.
For context, that's more than the straight line distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles or almost the distance between London, England and Gao, Mali.
As far as mid life crises go, that along with eating a lot better ain't so bad 😁
these are all horrible. where is cosplay at 48?
I started collecting Lego again.
... and running.
As a gen-x, I feel attacked that millennials are already having midlife crises.
You are young! Save it for your fifties, kids, I haven’t had mine yet!
What about the stereotype of buying a flashy car? Arguably that’s the one I fell into: spending far more on a car than I ever have to get something flashy and different, and purely thinking of me for what felt like the first time in my life.
Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.
