I still feel addressed when there's something about "young people". At 34.

[-] toofpic@lemmy.world 77 points 1 month ago

39 here, same shit. I'll roll right into the "how do you do, fellow kids" meme

Doesn't help that the media has been infantilizing millennials for 20 years.

[-] zout@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago

48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I'm starting to feel old.

[-] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

What is a “minor” heart attack?

[-] BenchpressMuyDebil@szmer.info 7 points 1 month ago

When your hear hurts a bit for 2 seconds and you've accepted that your time has come

A heart attack where you have almost zero loss of heart funtion afterwards. Also, no loss of consciousness, just feeling really bad for an hour.

Heart attack < 18yo

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You're one year older than me and we're the two oldest people here so far, which makes me feel super old.

I hope the minor heart attack is the only one you ever have to suffer through.

Fun thing about being this old: I thought I was turning 48 until my wife told me I was turning 47 a few days before my birthday.

[-] zout@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Fun fact about being 48; I'm turning 50 next year, which sounds a lot. But I only feel old-ish when mentioning my age.

[-] aeki@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 month ago

Wait, I'm not "young people"? (37)

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I think under 35 is kinda young. Maybe a few hundred years ago you would have counted as old but nowadays with modern healthcare people live much longer and healthier.

This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.

Is that the English spelling of later?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

No, it's the Danish spelling of climb. Missing a k, though.

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 52 points 1 month ago

Me with my 30+ year-old ass: Oh, this meme is about people in their 20s. This is about me!

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Me in my late 40s: Rustydrd speaks for my demographic! I feel so heard!

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

I still remember the day I grew old. After forgetting my change at a self checkout machine, an younger attendant ran after me and refered to me as 'sir'. After that day, I was no longer young. I was 29.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 1 month ago

I realised I had become an adult when some woman told her kid "that mister" would tell him off if he didn't behave, and gestured in my direction. I looked behind me. There was nobody there.

I had become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. Fear me, little children, and despair.

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Mister, this is a Wendys.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm sorry that happened to you sir

[-] Katzastrophe@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

Damn, I turned old when I grabbed some coloring pages off the ground to give them back to a child and got called the "nice fat lady" afterwards by the child. Double whammy

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I remember the day as well. I walked all through the store grabbing everything I needed and while waiting in the checkout I realized I forgot the milk. I laughed and said "Oh wow" then the guy behind me looked at me and I shrugged and said "I forgot the milk!" and left the line I'd been standing in for a few minutes to get the milk.

My age at the time didn't matter because it was on that day, I became old. Talking to strangers in the grocery store, forgetting to get the milk, and laughing about it? Old.

be like me. Can't become old if you identify as an immortal god to whom age has no meaning.

doesn't stop my back from hurting through.

I never understood why this particular meme needed to be told from within the SpongeBob universe

[-] TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Probably because a bunch of people around the age that relate with the meme are still watching SpongeBob

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

Yes. This. Speaks to the twenty-something crowd well.

The first time I can remember feeling old was when I was walking home behind a couple of kids and one said to the other in a cautionary tone that there was a "big ol' guy" (or words to that effect) behind them. I guess I seemed menacing in some way? I was in my early twenties, which means those kids are older now than I was then.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think mine was when I turned 30 and all my health fell apart, and I needed a lot of treatment you hear old people talk about.
