It's bad man

I'm 60 in 4 months so I have 0 sympathy.

“Oh noooo my prefrontal cortex is fully developed!”
- As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development
  
  Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you'll think "why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then"

It's okay it only lasts a year

Next year I'm gonna be 30, I'm already browsing some nice coffins and Urns

This is the best time for you to start reading about lower back pain and how to take care of your spine
- Also a good time to give up vanity for comfort. Wear flipflops with socks. Buy a travel squatty potty and take it everywhere in its branded bag.

Wait until 35.

Child, please.

Enjoy those knees while you can.

Source: Old enough to have a 25 year old kid.

My brain broke a bit the first moment I realized that, if I had a kid the same age my mom had me (early 20s), that child would be over 21.
- Yeah, doing a same parallel tracking, I would have a 13 year old. shudder
While I'm not old enough to have a 25 year old kid yet I do think my 30's have been better so far than my 20's were!
- Haha, yeah.
  
  ... Wait did you just lie on the internet??

The day I turned 29 all of my joints started hurting forever.

You better enjoy it 'cause it's not coming back once you turn 26.

Ha, try 35

It's going to be fine

honestly 25 to late 30s is the best.

your an adult that can do whatever the fuck you want, not give a fuck what other ppl think and your body is still invincible.

every hole is a goal, find love and travel the world.

every hole is a goal

ew

25? HA! Try 30. AND still being a virgin!

Me except I'll be 28 in 2 months. People constantly remind me how I'm getting closer to 30.

Like stop pls. I didn't sign up for this whole aging thing and it sucks

Eh, I'm actually in my 30's. It's quite nice!
- I can't believe you would lie on the Internet.
30s is the best decade tbh, anyone who says otherwise is a government spy
- otherwise
  
  🕴️
I was so nervous about turning 30. The thing is that nothing happens when you do, except you're no longer nervous about turning 30. It was honestly kinda freeing to just get it over with.

I'm in my 50's and I want to be 25 years old.

I'm in my fifties too, but look back on 25 year old me and see a fucking idiot. I know it's true because I'm a lot smarter now, but still a fucking idiot. I wouldn't mind a 25 year old spine, though.
- Yes but it was a blissful kind of fucking idiocy.
These kids don't even know when they've got it good. I mean, even being in your 40s isn't that bad
- Just remember in the US these days 36 is middle age.

41 here, I was there too. It's not that bad, just take care of yourself now. At your age I ate fast food, never exercised, and basically lived on caffeine, nicotine, and stress endorphins from working all the time. Now at my last check up, I'm overweight, my knees are shot, my back hurts all the time, and I have chronic acid reflux.

You are young enough that you can get a head start on aging, what you should do daily is exercise, eat healthy, and take some personal time/mental health time for yourself everyday to reduce stress. You don't want to end up like me and be facing a huge uphill battle to get healthy.

The optimal age is 28. It's late enough that you may at least be hitting a stride professionally (though don't stress too much if you're not), you've chilled out a bit from your earlier 20's, and your body (generally) hasn't begun to betray you yet.

25-35 is a great time. I moved cities and changed careers in my late 20's, and pivoted again in my early 30's, and it was a good reset to build on lessons learned and undoing past mistakes, while having the youth and energy to really enjoy myself and actually choose a path I was going to have fun with.

I'm enjoying my 40's a lot, but I look back fondly on that 25-35 period as being both fun in itself and setting me up for a good 30's and 40's (and possibly further).
The 'optimal' age is whatever age you are right now, no matter what state you're in, and I'm a miserable old bastard. Otherwise, apart from that one moment, you're always living with either hope or regret.

Pov: You're leaving your youth behind

I remember 25. I still felt alive and didn't have chronic pain randomly appearing in various parts of my body.

Praise saint ibuprofen.

Ah yes, the old quarter-century crisis. We got another one here, Bob, send em the welcome package. (The welcome package is multi-vitamins and sore knees)

wait until you are at your 40s and things take about 10x more time to heal

If it makes you feel any better, the age you are right now is the youngest you'll ever be.

I’d literally suck the youth out of 25 year olds like a vampire to be 25 again.

TIL Peter Thiel has a Lemmy account.
Have you tried sucking a 25 year old to test it? You never know unless you try.
- Do you know a willing 25 year old?

I'm pushing 50, fuck you.

Edit: I should mention, I had the same reaction as you at the same time.

(Turned 37; I'm precambric or whatever you call it)

Ok boomer
- Back in my day we used to be bananas and we liked it

What, were you hoping Leo would give you one last chance?

What does this mean? Is it a reference to something?
- I assume it's a reference to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Wait until you turn 25 for the second time

Boohoo. I'm going to be 32 and my knees hurt.

Why ?! The quarter of century ! You will to have such a cool age for the next 25 years when you will turn half a century old.

Idk late 30s and buzzing - I think for myself it’s a mindset plus healthy enough lifestyle. And moving my ass daily a lot.
