Not getting carded at the liquor store anymore because my hair is greying. And I am nowhere close to retirement age.

According to Nationwide, my first car, a '95 Celica, is a classic car. It's on the younger end of the classic car spectrum, but the fact that it's even in the running to be called a classic...

For insurance and registration purposes, the age of a classic car, in most cases, is at least 20 years old but not more than 40 years old.

I saw someone refer to the suicide mouse.avi creepypasta as "Mickey Mouse with FNF Troll"

It has been ten years since I left gymnasium.
I am almost completely bald.
I remember when screwattack was awesome and that I hanged out on gametrailers

I look up a old video on youtube that had the gametrsilers intro. Made me feel old as fuck. Speaking of screwattack, remember hard news? Used to watch that everyday befor going to school

Seeing someone in their mid 20s as “too young for me” to go after

My perception of time passed has expanded to larger numbers, something like 10 years no longer feels like a long time.

For me, time seemed to move so slowly as a kid. By the time junior high hit, though, it seemed like a week could come and go at the blink of an eye.

Now, it seems like three months can come and go like nothing, and something that happened 20 years ago still feels like it happened recently.

I don't like most of the Internet anymore. Gaming too.

All the teen and young adult heartthrobs from my childhood and teens are now old men and women. Imagine seeing Justin Bieber as middle-aged and you know what I'm talking about.

For me it's the 90s rangers. They were everywhere, you could buy one for pocket change. Couldn't hit up the classified without seeing a bunch of rangers. Now I see them with classic car plates and it blows my mind because they were just basic 1/4 tons

I don't like most of the Internet anymore. Gaming too.

There's parts of the Internet and gaming I still like, but considering the Internet is full of socialist LARPers convinced they're fighting "fascists" (which they're fighting the wrong people if they actually mean fascists), I getchu.

I recently learned that Will Ferrell still owns the first model of Blackberry. Like, the very first model that was ever put out for production. He still uses that fucking thing. I can't even fathom how when he's got fuckin' ape-sized hands.

- Watching my hometown slowly change as I drive by occasionally. Its a surreal feeling seeing old areas that were wore out and unchanged for decades become new tourists areas or college students hang outs

- Friendships have much less of an impact and don't feel like they're worth pursuing. Its also much more surface level due to social media.

- Having some screen shots of TF2 before everything went to shit. It still blows my mind that engineer could pick up buildings as when I started it didn't even have different weapons. I even recall servers stopping instantly when a guy with a soldier's stash was in game when hats first got released.

- Enjoying more day to day aspects of life rather than having those giant idealistic dreams that might never come

It gave me this sinking feeling that one day the last little bits of the old internet will rot away and be lost forever.

And the worst thing is so few people (most of them here on KF, it seems) will remember what was lost. So many boomers were late adopters who don't seem to have appreciated the early net and gen Z were born into a Web 2.0 world.

Buying new clothing that is a rehash of trends I bought the first time around 2+ decades ago makes me feel old.

I've got a tiny area two inches right of the tip of my tailbone that starts hurting if I do too much lifting or merely just moving around for whatever reason. I have about five minutes to heed that warning. If I keep doing what I'm doing, the pain radiates all the way across my pelvis, and also up into my back which seizes up, down my buttock and into my thigh, and I spend the next ten hours in intense pain before everything starts to loosen up again. I'm only just shy of forty, but this shit makes me feel sixty.
