I tried to explain to my 23 year old grandson's co-worker that we used to have to jack off to magazines and he had no idea what the word magazine meant. What a sad little wanker.
I mean, everyone has their kinks and I ain't shaming anybody. But did you really jack off to the part of a gun that holds bullets??? /jk
Weird too to be 55 and physically feel 65 and emotionally feel 15 and have friends who are 35 to 45 who will make me feel socially 25 until my practically guaranteed death at 75.
... 5... 85, 95, 105...

Oh I hope I never lose the spark and stop feeling like I'm a 15 year old pretending to be an adult.
I'm a 51 year old (as of today) and I feel like I'm 25, and when I talk to people... Wait, I don't talk to people...
Make sure to lie about how old you are elsewhere so as to blur the digital footprint you’re leaving. My estranged twin taught me that when we grew up in Alaska.
the key is to not talk to people
I like you. We should talk.

Trolling all my friends who were born after 9/11 by showing them clips from "Love, Actually" and talking about how easy it was to get through airport security.
The pre 9/11 world was truly a different place. I used to cross the border into the states as a 15 year old to go to concerts with nothing but an old red and white Canadian health card that didn't even have a picture on it.
I was stationed in San Diego, and we would walk across the border to Mexico. To get back in, all you needed was to show a US drivers license and be sober enough to say you are a US citizen.
I've had a 40 year old body for like, 25 years. I'm not 40 yet.
Speaking as someone whose in their mid 40's, no you don't have a 40 year old body, you only think you do. When you actually get there you'll realize how wrong you've been.
Oh, from 40 on upwards there are so much "oh shit" moments. The fuck around phase is over and the find out, final, phase starts.
"Told you so" also starts trending among friend circles.
This used to be easy and my bones were stronger.
In the freezer?
It gets much, much worse.
I don’t think I’ve felt young since I was like 12, body wise. I have next to no health issues or genetic issues.
My brother was telling the "What's black and white and read all over?" joke to our niece, and she asked what a newspaper was.
This is why it's important to isolate your children from life as you speedrun them through YOUR childhood first. You're not just giving your kids one good life, but two bad ones!
Once you hit 40, you enter a whole new plateau of consciousness. You start dressing for comfort instead of looks. And the only friends you have are the people you’ve been talking to you for the past 20 years. And the prospect of making new friends Has absolutely no interest
Follow me for more 40+ wisdom
guess I have been 40 all my life
Ehhhh depends on the person really. Not everyone has a close circle of friends they have known for 20+ years. I have several but wpuld still be happy to make more.
I'm 42, I dress fly as hell, and my employees are young models. I have no friends, lol- my life is all work and my family.
Something similar has been hitting me recently. I'm 30. So I was born is the last millennium, but you know, not by a lot. Most of my life has been the 20XXs. But even though it's been 26 years of that, it just all feels so recent. Like it's hard for me to call anything that happened after 2000 "old" because... old was last century/millennium. "That can't be old, it happened just a few years ago!" Checks when it happened: 2012, 14 years ago...
Thinking about how we perceive the time we live through is weird. When you think about it, the lives of everyone alive today has been radically different than the vast majority of human history. There were times when things might not meaningfully change in your whole lifetime, maybe even several generations of people living the same way. Post-industrial revolution everything has happened so fast. Tech and culture changes so often that we conceptualize each decade in the 20th/21st century as being it's own thing. (Obviously that wasn't entirely the case, there's all sorts of bleed over, but I'm just talking about how we think about it.) We talk about almost any other time in our history in terms of centuries and some key historical turning points.
I have now written way too much for a comment on a shitpost. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Yeah I get that. "Old" to me is maybe around the 80s. I grew up around a lot of 80s stuff.
The music i listen to (since I was little ) is usually 60s through 80s, because those are the records I had. Some 90s and select new indie artists now too.
An "old" car is a 1969 chevelle. A 1991 f 150 is not an old car. The Xbox 360 is new. Etc. I regularly drive a 30 year old car and notice nothing I want or need (also I hate new cars but separate issue)
A huge thing about this is the tech. We went through insane technical revolutions in a super short period of time. Kids now dont have that. GTA 5 is how old, 14 years?
Tech basically peaked in 2012. Nothing has really been improving or groundbreaking for the common person since then. I think thats why when I think of 2012, I think oh yeah bout 4 years ago huh.
I mean my 2010 macbook still works perfectly. My 2001 windows 98 laptop, not as much.
I’m 34 and pre2010 is kinda old to me. Even Raspi1 is old to me.
I’m not there yet, but I’m slowly shifting to view pre-covid as "stuff from back then". It’s a turning point for me that makes the 2010s different from the 20s
As a I went from kindergarten to high school I saw adults around me aging.
To me, it looked as if they were gracefully descending a long staircase with dignity and elegance.
I had the staircase part right, but sometimes you're falling down the steps. Four of five flights at a time.
just wait til you hit 55 and there's no foolin' anyone anymore.
damn, Why ppl in lemmy has to be so old.
nah dude, I'll be 21 forever!
I already have been in first year of college the last 4 years and that isn't even a joke!
Yeah, nah, you gotta talk to a 45yo to reset!
I'm in my mid-40s. I simultaneously feel 20 and 70 and that becomes about 327 when I interact with anyone under tha age of about 30.
I feel like 55 but my gf makes me feel like 13
Thank you for your service Mr President
At what point does being carded go from “come on man” to “bless your heart”?
Normal. This is normal.
The only part of me that feels in my 40s is my knees
I turned 37 and realised ive already become the grumpy old man down the road that i told myself i would never turn into when i was a kid. But honestly, WHAT IS WITH THE YOUTH OF TODAY!?
No cap this unc is cooking with this take getting old is cheeks
How weird it is to be 36 and read this meme and suddenly you feel 50...
Nothing makes you feel forty-five quicker than dating a twenty year old.
