One way to find out if you’re old is to fall down in front of a crowd. If they laugh at you, you’re still young. If they run to you concerned, you’re getting old. (sh.itjust.works)

Mmm, no, very unwise

Says more about the crowd than anything else

[-] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Did you fall down and everyone was concerned?

Mmm no very unwise

Someone else observes that this says more about the crowd. I agree with this. What makes this unwise is that the observation is a shallow one, only "correct" with substandard consideration.

What if a football is involved?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think it still works. If you're playing football and the whole crowd gasps when you are tackled, you might want to retire.
