my daughter casually called the 90s the “late 1900s”.
We’re cooked
I was born in the late 90s and do this occasionally. It sounds cool and makes the right people squirm.
Way back before the turn of the century
By the end of the last century…
The bad thing is that this is becoming less funny to say, because it’s becoming actually a long time ago.
she’s not wrong, you fossil.
My daughter loudly reminds me that I was born in the LAST CENTURY…
Wait til she figures out it was also the last millennium.
Last millennium you mean?
I’m trying to live until the next century, I want to be able to tell people about the age before the internet took over. I gotta get over to about 120. I need science help
I honestly prefer that instead of “the last generation that could have done something to stop the extinction of mankind and did nothing”, which wouldnt be exactly true… but…
1982 here, became a furry last year, i now pole dance in VR, lost 70lbs, fitter than ever ^^
Beauty has been restored into the world ✨✨✨
Is your fursona a dinosaur?
Have my angry upvote. After I’ve shaken the dust out of my joints.
Fucking arthritis in my right hand rn. I’m 32. Send morphine
My 1970’s born self appreciates all you horned up youngsters. Things have been…interesting since my early forties when a touch of grey came in.
Can’t imagine such a low stress life that greys didn’t come in till 40s, I’m over here with greys in my late 20s…
I’ve had them since my early 20s.
The years have been cruel
I think it’s genetic sometimes - I didn’t have a single grey hair until I was 35, which is when a bunch of health stuff kicked off.
Still don’t have much grey at 48, and my grandfather was only about 50/50 when he died at 85.
I have not had a stress-free life.
I hear you. A few wrinkles around my eyes and daily cardio, and I haven’t gotten so much young mom attention since I was taking my kids to the playground. 10 more years, and I may do the same with potential grandkids. That will be a deadly combo.
Personally, I expect the twentysomething attention to fall off a cliff as we hit or get very close to 60. I expect the age group that’ll give us the time of day then to be fortysomething year olds.
How is it to look at kids growing up to 30 year old adults?
Haha, just have your kids later in life then you don’t have to see them grow old.
I’m from the 60’s and my eldest just turned twenty.
Indeed. I seem to be a magnet for baby gays
It’s an epidemic 'round here as well.
I find these memes funny. Because one day you’ll wake up and find yourself where we old people are. Time really flies by quickly. So, enjoy your youthful times and make as much memories as you can.
Don’t look up how old that clip is.
to startle them, start sentences with
In the late 20th century we used to…
Are you back Violet?
‘85. Don’t care. Still making and sharing good art.
Same year! High five!
Fun fact: More time has passed between today and 1999, than between 1999 and the Second Cod War.
The second COD was released in 2005 so that males sense.
I can still remember the stories about when the halibut took back the mid Atlantic ridge.
Ah, 1999, the early days of the Bass wars.
Many Bass was slapped.
I should work on my forearms.
I’m almost old enough to be an 18 year old’s dad, and it’s a strange feeling.
it’s crazy on the opposite end too cause wdym someone born in 1990 is old enough to be my dad (i’m a Feb 2008 baby). that’s so recent and most of my favorite celebrities are from that era and I don’t see them as old😭
This reasoning also means you're old enough to be a parent. Technically correct, and it happens I guess.
I’m old enough to have a grandchild that’s 18. I still am not sure how I feel about it.
But hey, if it rustles your jimmies, get some and enjoy it 😃 as long as it involves consenting adults, don’t let others yuck your yum!
You’re 18 and you’re dating someone who’s about 50?
Welcome back violet
The youngest confirmed dad was 12
I’m so old that an 18 year old was born AFTER i had finished school. I’m so decrepit.
Now I’m scared of that time
Take your ibuprofen papa.
I would, but my stomach hurts when I do 😭
84 and I would tell you to go eat some flaming genitalia but my back is sprained or something (for real)
I now have ‘robot vs dinosaur’ by Skeleton Dick stuck in my head. Miss those guys.
I’m trying to deal with reality, but my hardware was issued in the 20th century.
this is how i feel talking to 90s kids (i was born not much later in 2001)

Alright, calm down fossil. There's less time between you and us, than there us between us and today - ergo we're all getting older here.
