  The future is now, old man.

    I’m scared. Hold me.

      Don’t be scared.

      You’ll be making inappropriate jokes with nomenclature that is no longer acceptable and being blamed for the the ills of the world in no time, as I blamed those before me and they blamed those before them. You won’t even notice when the switch happens either. It’s painless.

      You’ll still listen to and enjoy the outrageous rebellious music of your teenage years well beyond the time you’re the one warning the younger about the perils of rebellion, excess and even defending aspects of the system you swore you’d never become a part of.

      This might come in handy too

      Oh, you thought I was young? Sorry, was just having a little fun.

      Life is a beautiful thing. Don’t let its fleeting nature get in the way of you enjoying it to the fullest. Look at it this way: Right now, you’re the youngest you’ll ever be ever again. If that has some white hairs here and there, who cares?

      Have a great weekend, grandpa. ;)

  This was supposed to be people clowning on me but all I got was a bunch of nice people telling me to live life to the fullest 😭😭

  You turned my shitpost into a feelspost.

  Good lord. You have a full head of hair. Literally shut up.

  source

  • Ghis@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah I got lucky there. My dad has a full head and my grandfather on my mom’s side did too.

    I still stress over losing it though, much more than being gray (fiancee wants it).

    I can’t pull off the bald look like a lot of guys can, so I’m getting plugs if it comes to it. I still got time to lose it all 😂

  Hey man, at least you have hair. I’ve been losing mine since I was 16.

  How do you not have crows feet - Christ your skin is smooth - I would take grey over looking like Ed Harris’s ball sack (like I do)

    My main tip is to never see the Sun

    source

    • Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I believe it’s the sun and good genetics. I’ve got decent genetics (I think?) but I worked outside all of my 20s and 30s. I used sunscreen religiously but squinting (due to sun) and the like also plays a role. It’s hard to remember to reapply in the middle of a 12 hr day, when there’s work that needs to be done.

      I’m exaggerating how wrinkled I am, but I definitely got crows feet and forehead wrinkles.

  At least your greys are in a respectable place, mine have started coming in in my left eyebrow and so far, nowhere else. I’d love some dashing streaks of grey at my hairline or temples, no one mistakes that for lint or a cobweb.

  source

  • Ghis@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I got em coming in everywhere, and don’t worry I’m sure I’ll look like Jim Carrey in A Series of Unfortunate Events soon. My ears and nose hairs are out of control after a day or two.

    I’m sure you’re dashing, my man. We’re our own worst critics, and I’m no exception.

    You’re catname person from piefed, though. I’m sure that even if you had two deadly caterpillars in deadly battle as eyebrows people would give you a pass. I’ve seen your comments.

  One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.

  Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?

  You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.

    In case anyone needs to hear this — when blood and mucus start coming out your butt, you need to go to the gastroenterologist. Don’t believe your primary care physician who says it’s probably IBS and therefore untreatable and not worth worrying about. It was ulcerative colitis for me, and they have treatments that let you live your life without being tethered to the bathroom.

    • jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You getting discount medical care with that primary care physician??

      Glad to hear something helped!

  Found my first grey hair when I was 16. Since then, multiple GFs have found the occasional grey hair. I’m 45, and weirdly my hair keeps getting darker. Used to be a platinum blonde, turned sandy blonde, and now it would be called brown…

  You're never too young to dye.

  In fact, fuck societal norms, go crazy, try some funky colours! Do a half-length bleach to platinum blonde, add a green or turquoise strip, do frosted tips but instead of keeping them blonde, dye em copper red... The world's your oyster.

  Or just keep the gray patches, chicks dig it.

  You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old. Stay in touch with younger people, and don’t be afraid to make friends with younger people (within reason - stick to 20 or older). Don’t make fun of current slang, you had yours at that age too. Learn it even if you don’t use it yourself. Don’t fall into the trap of “the only good music was my generation’s”, always look for new music to like, even if it’s individual songs instead of whole artists.

  Keep taking care of your appearance. Even if you go full gray in the future, if you make a point to look at least good, you’re ahead of a lot of people of all ages.

  And remember - gray hair isn’t an embarrassment, every single one is a testament that no one and nothing in life has been able to kill you yet. The more you have, the more it testifies that you are hard to kill. 😁

  I got a single white streak when I was 16. I genuinely think it was due to the stress in high school. It hasn’t gotten bigger since, so fingers crossed.

  source

  • Ghis@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I had that in my 20s and it went away, which is pretty shitty because it just causes more stress. But when this new batch started coming in I knew it was over.

    Maybe it’ll suit me, or maybe I’ll be on that 13or30 reddit thing.

  I am 23 and apparently have some gray hairs next to my ears. Dont know why

  source

  • Ghis@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I get these long white hairs that my family would call “cat whiskers”. I have two on my forehead and they can grow to be like 2 inches, it’s pretty nuts. Terminal Hair, I think? My fiancee has them too.

    Could it be that?

    • Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I doubt it. I have never seen these hairs but other people have pointed them out several times.
