This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.
Now you’re 27 and a half
Half a year latre
Is that the English spelling of later?
No, it’s the Danish spelling of climb. Missing a k, though.
I know this and I am in my 40ies.
Dont blink, or you’ll be 47
I still feel addressed when there’s something about “young people”. At 34.
I think under 35 is kinda young. Maybe a few hundred years ago you would have counted as old but nowadays with modern healthcare people live much longer and healthier.
39 here, same shit. I’ll roll right into the “how do you do, fellow kids” meme
- Same lol.
48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I’m starting to feel old.
You’re one year older than me and we’re the two oldest people here so far, which makes me feel super old.
I hope the minor heart attack is the only one you ever have to suffer through.
Fun thing about being this old: I thought I was turning 48 until my wife told me I was turning 47 a few days before my birthday.
Fun fact about being 48; I’m turning 50 next year, which sounds a lot. But I only feel old-ish when mentioning my age.
What is a “minor” heart attack?
A heart attack where you have almost zero loss of heart funtion afterwards. Also, no loss of consciousness, just feeling really bad for an hour.
When your hear hurts a bit for 2 seconds and you’ve accepted that your time has come
Heart attack < 18yo
Doesn’t help that the media has been infantilizing millennials for 20 years.
Wait, I’m not “young people”? (37)
Still applicable. I think.
I am 37. I need to die.
Why
I’m 32.
Get off my lawn.
Ok
You have a lawn? Impressive!
Me and my spouse rent a 2B2B trailer in a trailer park. It came with a yard. Lol.
Me with my 30+ year-old ass: Oh, this meme is about people in their 20s. This is about me!
Me in my late 40s: Rustydrd speaks for my demographic! I feel so heard!
The first time I can remember feeling old was when I was walking home behind a couple of kids and one said to the other in a cautionary tone that there was a “big ol’ guy” (or words to that effect) behind them. I guess I seemed menacing in some way? I was in my early twenties, which means those kids are older now than I was then.
I was about 17. Slapped the awing of a building for no particular reason. Little kid walkign with his Daddy says “That man is tall!”
First time anyone called me a man.
I think mine was when I turned 30 and all my health fell apart, and I needed a lot of treatment you hear old people talk about.
be like me. Can’t become old if you identify as an immortal god to whom age has no meaning.
doesn’t stop my back from hurting through.
Average Lemmy user mentality
I turn 30 this year. I’m ready
Oh 27 I’m 27… Oh wait… No!!!
I never understood why this particular meme needed to be told from within the SpongeBob universe
Same reason shitposts from 20 years ago use cartoons from 30 - 40 years ago.
Most people in their 20s (who grew up with any sort of western cultural influence) have memories of watching spongebob as a kid.
Its literally one of the most influential and popular children’s series of the past 20 years, if not ever.
Probably because a bunch of people around the age that relate with the meme are still watching SpongeBob
Yes. This. Speaks to the twenty-something crowd well.
I throw you another question, why not?
More effort for the creator to edit? Possibly isolates audiences unfamiliar with the franchise, particularly those who wouldn’t know that the fish is a newscaster or that the stylized TV is a TV? Also, the wojak is underwater and as a human presumably wouldn’t be able to breathe (boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder).
I’m also just now noticing that a real life photo of clothes has been edited onto the cartoon wojak. It seems like there’s too much hyperstylization in the visuals in contrast to what is supposed to be a generic idea in the message.
I am half-way through 21 now so I can’t say I’m basically a teenager anymore :(
This doesn’t stop even when you hit 40
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
No ❤️
Me remembering I turn 27 in 13 days. 💀
Welcome to the 27 club
Don’t you have to die to join the club?
Not sure, I just assumed it had to do with being 27
Yes, being 27 and dieing, preferably of an overdose or some other sudden causes. The club includes such illustrious members such as Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse.
Turn back now!
Bro how? This ride is out of control.
Now you are that much closer to 50 than birth!
When I turned 25, my mom told me I’m a quarter of a century old and that hit me so hard
Now realise that when you reach 75, on average, you will have been asleep for 25 years.
I have tried to reduce that average but it takes it’s toll.
