    I still feel addressed when there’s something about “young people”. At 34.

      Wait, I’m not “young people”? (37)

      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.

      Still applicable. I think.

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

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

    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, my condolences

      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

      source
    • BigPotato@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      The first time you find yourself yelling at a young person for loitering is like a religous experience.

    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

    source
    • TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
      • LodeMike@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

    • hswolf@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I throw you another question, why not?

      source
      • Squorlple@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

      Why

      source
  • samus12345@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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 would have been in my early twenties.

    source
    • Snowclone@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

    • Dagwood222@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.
