I still feel addressed when there’s something about “young people”. At 34.
39 here, same shit. I’ll roll right into the “how do you do, fellow kids” meme
- Same lol.
Doesn’t help that the media has been infantilizing millennials for 20 years.
48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I’m starting to feel old.
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.
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.
Wait, I’m not “young people”? (37)
Still applicable. I think.
This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.
Now you’re 27 and a half
Half a year latre
Is that the English spelling of later?
No, it’s the Danish spelling of climb. Missing a k, though.
Me with my 30+ year-old ass: Oh, this meme is about people in their 20s. This is about me!
Me in my late 40s: Rustydrd speaks for my demographic! I feel so heard!
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.
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.
Mister, this is a Wendys.
I’m sorry that happened to you sir
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
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.
The first time you find yourself yelling at a young person for loitering is like a religous experience.
I’m 32.
Get off my lawn.
Ok
You have a lawn? Impressive!
Me and my spouse rent a 2B2B trailer in a trailer park. It came with a yard. Lol.
This doesn’t stop even when you hit 40
Me remembering I turn 27 in 13 days. 💀
Welcome to the 27 club
Don’t you have to die to join the club?
Not sure, I just assumed it had to do with being 27
Yes, being 27 and dieing, preferably of an overdose or some other sudden causes. The club includes such illustrious members such as Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse.
Now you are that much closer to 50 than birth!
When I turned 25, my mom told me I’m a quarter of a century old and that hit me so hard

Up until recently, I slept absurd amounts of time. Untreated auto-immune disease and a severe vitamin D deficiency will make a gal sleepy lol.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
No ❤️
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.
Average Lemmy user mentality
I never understood why this particular meme needed to be told from within the SpongeBob universe
Probably because a bunch of people around the age that relate with the meme are still watching SpongeBob
Yes. This. Speaks to the twenty-something crowd well.
I throw you another question, why not?
More effort for the creator to edit? Possibly isolates audiences unfamiliar with the franchise, particularly those who wouldn’t know that the fish is a newscaster or that the stylized TV is a TV? Also, the wojak is underwater and as a human presumably wouldn’t be able to breathe (boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder).
I’m also just now noticing that a real life photo of clothes has been edited onto the cartoon wojak. It seems like there’s too much hyperstylization in the visuals in contrast to what is supposed to be a generic idea in the message.
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.
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.
I was about 17. Slapped the awing of a building for no particular reason. Little kid walkign with his Daddy says “That man is tall!”
First time anyone called me a man.
I am 37. I need to die.
Why
I am half-way through 21 now so I can’t say I’m basically a teenager anymore :(
I know this and I am in my 40ies.
Dont blink, or you’ll be 47
I turn 30 this year. I’m ready
