Time is an unstoppable force

Holy shit, I've accidentally stumbled upon a cure for aging. I was born in 1984, yet I'm somehow only 40 years old.

Or maybe everyone from 1998 stumbled upon the exact opposite.
- Like that dyslexic fucker who wrote 1984 in 1948 I imagine.
  Edit: it's not even a good joke, apparently it was 1949.. then again it wasnt funny if accurate either, oh well
I mean it's technically not wrong. I'm 46 was born in 98, also in 88, and 78 as well.
- I'm 46 was born in 98, also in 88, and 78 as well.
  Born again Christian who wasn't quite done sinning after the first reset? 😛
And what was the name of your first pet?
- The same as my mother's maiden name, hunter2
The cure was basic math

If you invite it in, you're powerless against it.
Sinks must follow the same rules as vampires.
- Each time you cut yourself while shaving or your teeth bleed for some reason, those bastards get more powerful.
  You had been warned
I refuse to
Let that sink in.
Lovely but why does this seem to be happening in Bristol

You younglings won't understand, but after about age 35, your brain filters out calendar math and you won't notice the meme is wrong.

There was a article where the journalist asked a dozen people how old they felt, versus their actual age.
And every single person said they felt in their heads, 10-20 years younger. Like, a 54yo said they felt more like they were 35yo.
I'm hitting forty and I feel like I just understood what life is about, something I should have felt in my mid20s.
- I feel 10 years older, so obviously I'm doing something.
I could tell if someone was under 18/21 up until I was 30. At 32 everyone under 22 looks so young to me now. At 35, I forgot I wasnt 32

This meme is from the future!

Assuming we make it that far
- Huge assumption

1990 kid here, im so old i died yesterday

Same, but I'm feeling better today
I'd tell you what happened in 89 but I can't remember. Something about tearing down walls to make the western world a more cohesive friendly place
- Oh and that other thing we're not supposed to bring up in the east

1990 gang calling in, I’ll be 65 this January

Also 1990 gang, I'll be 78 this February
- 1973 gang. I have dementia now so I don't even know how old I am. Someone tells me I am 207 but it doesn't seem right.

We've retired the joke:
Can you imagine sending that one perpetual intern who's so tired of your shit to Home Depot to buy the cheapest sink for your lame joke as the world's richest man starved for attention?
- didn't even have context that made it make sense. he just used it in context of moving in... but the double entendre means nothing without the second, uh, entendre. anyway he's so fucking lame, stupid and unfunny is what I'm saying
- Is this called a sink in the US? I thought the kitchen sink and the bathroom basin are the correct names, but might be UK specific...
- look at a picture of him today vs then, He looks like he gained 25 years
it's me sink.

One day this meme will be true.

In 2043 to be exact.
@remindme@mstdn.social 19 years
- Ugh math get out of here it's a weekend
- @TheImpressiveX Ok, I will remind you on Tuesday Dec 22, 2043 at 9:21 AM PST.

look at my steam account, i'll be 125 yrs old on 1/1/25

Congratulations!

Um. I was born in 1984 and I just turned 40 this year, thank you.

Good thing you got in ahead of 1998 then!

I guess this is one of those memes that age like fine wine?

More like a broken clock: correct eventually for a short time.
Then start turning rancid the next year
We will see but chances are

Clearly written by an LLM. Math is hard.

Math is hard

It doesn't get easier once ya turn 100, sonny, let me tell ya.

this will become true in just a couple of years from now, assuming you represent age as a base-six number. (4*6+5 == 2027-1998)

Bullshit I will be 45 next year and was born 1980. Whoever did the math is not doing it right.
- (if you were, you'd be 113 next year.)

Only 1900s kids would understand.

I believe this, but mostly because I was born yesterday.

Well I'm balding like one at least.

I'm 145 years old. Where are my bald gang at?

That math doesn't math. I'm just the right kind of old to know, no coffee required.

I've gotta get back to preparing my coffin, I don't have time for this

Time to bury my 45 year old husband brb

👮🏼‍♀️👮🏼‍♀️👮🏼‍♀️👮🏼‍♀️

I genuinely like to try to make myself think statements like this are true. If I do it for like a few years and start actually buying it myself, then I'll be pleasantly surprises when I actually turn 40.

Hmmmmm... So does that make me a time traveler? I've always wanted to be Phill of the Future.

I'd say I'm surprised

But then again, this is Lemmy, the place where they vehemently oppose generational wealth and yet clutch their pearls when their so called parents spend all that hard earned wealth on themselves
