I’d collect left nuts like a 🐿️ to be only 25!

…ok, but now I’m curious. Who is this time lord who offers time travel in exchange for testicles?
Maiq@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Dr. Whosticles.
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Back in my day, the exchange rate was 100 foreskins per miracle. Not sure what that is in testicles.
teslasdisciple@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Oh wait, this isn’t Craigslist, my bad
orenj@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
cronos, probably. I wouldn’t bargain with him, he’s known to eat more than just a nut.

I think the problem is that the timelords don’t take left testicles.

I would trade my middle nut to be 25

I’m in my 40s and each decade of my life has been better than the last. You live and learn. You make mistakes. You grow. You can use that experience to make your quality of life better.
Cut out toxic people, start an exercise routine, learn how to cook good meals, practice your time management skills. Not that I haven’t wasted most of today watching AEW, but I did some sprints this morning so I’m resting.

Oh what I would give to be 35 again, when you’re 36 like I am you’ll understand how good you have it

I’d have so many more ideas on how to fuck up my life.

I can make you feel 25 again?
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
ayo. old head here.
At 29. I had a pact with myself to kill myself before my 40th birthday.
I’m 43 this year.
If you take one piece of advice away: life is always worth living, there’s always a tomorrow, no matter how bad you feel that feeling is not forever and things can change and you can change them.
I have struggles, doubts, frustrations, rages, disappointments, set backs, failures and, indeed, depression. But I lived. And even today I had a bad moment, I was feeling super low - but this evening I had a wonderful time with some friends and came home to my wife who I adore.
You made it to 25 and I knew a few people who didn’t when I was 25. Now I’m forty fewer people have made it with me.
I miss them but we get to see what’s next. You get to see what’s next.
Enjoy being 25, 26, and beyond

I’m glad you’re still here and thank you so much for the words of advice/encouragement.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
43 this year too. 42 was a wild ride and 43 isn’t shaping up to be any less crazy.
If I could offer only one piece of advice, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists, where as the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
And no, there was no copying, nor pasting involved, I just remember that “song” very well. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it may be worth looking up, because as I’ve gotten older, the advice in that “song” has only become more accurate, more true, and hit home a while lot harder year after year.

My sweet summer child. It just gets worse
protist@retrofed.com 2 weeks ago
I really disagree with this. Except the child part, 25 year olds are basically children whose brains have just finished maturing
doodahjones@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
My lot passed around an antique sword cane - when you hit 25, it was yours till the next 25. Wonder who got stuck with it? (Sorry.) Am 75 now, btw, shooting for the full century.

Nah, the real tragedy is turning 27, that’s when you no longer get discounted rates on the speed train here in Germany 🥺 Gotta ride around as much as I can before it’s over for me in October.

Are we supposed to get a second time through our 20s? If so, I got ripped off man.

I’m sorry you don’t want to be 25. In my experience, 30 is far better, so just hold on and do your best 🤗
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’d love to be 25 again. Wanna swap?

Don’t worry too much, it’s only for a year
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
25 was good, insurance costs often go down, you’re more likely to now be seen as a responsible adult by default. Your body is probably not rapidly deteriorating.
The best I have for you all at that age is, you’re probably not feeling a effects of age yet, you can probably still party and most of your friends aren’t married with children so you probably still have people to party with.
30’s you recover more slowly, your friends start getting sparse as they start their own families.
40’s you have to work to not fall to sloth, energy isn’t a given, you have to schedule to get time with your friends
50’s you need to start being careful about how you do things. your friends have grown children, if you don’t do body maintenance you will fall into disrepair and it’s hard AF to get out of that. Many people find stuff they used to enjoy eating now causes them discomfort. Your knees, back, ankles might pop when you get out of bed or occasionally when you go up steps

But now you can rent a car in the United States! Unfortunately you have to be in the United States to do it
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I mean…you could rent a car, and drive to canada.

RBWells@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well I’m more than 25+25 and would not want to be 25 either but don’t worry, it will only last a year. Just hang on.

Pretend that yesterday you were 40 and you just woke up this morning 25 again. Imagine how young, energetic, hopeful you’ll feel being back in your young body again. Go for a run.

I actually am enjoying my 30s more than my 20s. But your mileage may vary.

Happy birthday! I remember turning 25 and feeling so old. Now I’m in my thirties and it rules. Well, the world sucks, but on a personal level, don’t sweat it. You’ve got plenty to enjoy now and plenty to look forward to.

30s. Those were the fun years. Am 61 now and NGL, once you hit 50 and get gray and wrinkles… you find that people will give you even less shit. Which is amazing! Some say that it’s the aches and pains that come of age that suck the most, but I’ve always been a bit on the clumsy side with a high pain threshold, so it’s been a constant since I was a teenager.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
The only thing that changes in your 30s is that you stop giving a fuck, but that changes everything.

I’m in my mid-40s, and ngl I feel like peak me (so far)
RBWells@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah that was my vampire age - like if I could have stayed any age, 45 was it. Looked so good, felt so good. Sex drive like a teenager (maybe nature trying to make me reproduce before menopause?). I do think that may be the physical peak. Like, I still feel really good but 45 was it.
