You're only old when you let them get away with saying it. Just offer them some chicken nuggies and choco mill and they can join the convo after their nap
Well. That's like. Tim Waltz is only a year older than Kamala. Different people age differently. I definitely have gray hair and I'm only 35. I had a student who was all gray (half black half white, still talking about hair) by the time he finished middle school.
yeah the original poster is either trolling or an idiot. if he is 20 something years old, his little avatar picture makes him look considerably older than that. anyone want to break the news to him?
My younger wife’s response to my complaint about “being an ancestor” … “well, you are bald, have a gray beard and if we could afford a lawn, you would LOVE to tell people to stay off it. Seems spot on”
Me turning 37 this week: Respect your fucking ancestors. We have one foot in the grave and we’re still trying to stop our parents from fucking up the world even more.
Amen! 38 here and no kids. I still want all kids to have free school lunches and (I know this sounds CrAzY) free education. A smarter America helps everyone except the ultra rich.
Oh man between Y2K, 2012, and all the crazy bullshit of the 90s I have seen so many “end times”. If you don’t know about it check out the Heaven’s Gate cult I remember that being plastered on TV as a kid.
I'm born in the 70s, but I'm mostly sad that you younglings didn't get to live through our optimism and joy phase: cold war ended, freedom for all, travelling, peace was near,... And 9/11 kicked it all in the bin. (Yes, that's oversimplified, but as an Ancient One, I am allowed to)

You're the ancients. We hear tales of your kind, time to time. Sometimes we still hear snatches of your lost melodies on the wind.

People born in 1999 are only 25. If you think that’s old, it’s probably illegal for them to date you.

Oh man, I'd forgotten about them. Heaven's gate was a trip... buncha nutters.

Oh yeah few years ago I watched a bunch of cult documentaries and one was them was Heavens Gate. Insert core memory meme here.

We were born in the primordial soup.

Oooo I want to say I heard this before. Is this from something or is it original word vomit?

If it's from something, it's unintentional.
The phrase just popped up in my brain. Lots of weird shit in there.

When you test positive on the mail-in poop test like I did this year, you don't have an option.
LespritDeLescalier22
The procedure is a non issue for me. It’s the food restrictions that suck.
gardengnomeii
food restriction is ok, i often fast for a day. Cleaning everything out, not so much.
EroticZombiePants
It ultimately wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was more periodic geysers instead of a continuous waterfall.
