Shit that reminds you that you’re getting old - Re: Fwd: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fwd: Damn young’uns

I saw a recent picture of Tony Hawk and it blew my mind that that cool kinda-hot sk8ter dude with the fun games you used to rent from Blockbuster is now... old

And his son is married to Kurt Cobains' daughter, Frances. Who is 32 today.

sk8ter dude

The way you wrote this made me think of Avril Lavigne: she's going to turn 40 in about six weeks, and in about three weeks it'll be 22 years ago that her song "Sk8er Boi" was released.

old

Tony Hawk is "Generation X" and Wikipedia says he's 56. The "X" is less "X-TREME" now.

In a similar vein, seeing Megan Fox on some brainrot celebrity video that was on one of those gas station screens and realizing she's now a plastic bimbo instead of a very attractive woman close to my age. I haven't aged nearly as poorly, though I guess I started out lower on the scale.

Nokia and flip phones,my first phone i've ever got was a Nokia.
Shame that I lost it.

My niece not having the attention span to watch a Justice League Unlimited episode without needing additional stimulation from her Moms Ipad. The worst part is that she watches shortform Batman cartoons on the Ipad while we're watching JLU. Its so absurd and depressing.

I used to think the old rotary phone was cool when I was little.

I used to think the old rotary phone was cool when I was little.

I once had an acoustic coupling modem that would work with one of those phones. I never used it, though.

How fast time is going.

I used to think the old rotary phone was cool when I was little.

I remember when our phone company finally forced everyone to have touch tone phones. I really liked using them, there was just something neat about it.

It's back to school week, but I still have to work.

I remember one time I turned on the radio in my car and Feel good inc started playing, I was like "fuck yeah!" and at the end of the song the ad for the classic rock station it played on started. I just said. "Oh...." lol god damn that hit me in the heart.

Wearing ankle socks is an old millennial thing and zoomers wear crew socks. Wallets are also phasing out.

That's just kids today. They might as well have an iPad in the womb at this point.

It's just amazing to see how kids are glued to their devices. I see kids walking around in supermarkets with the kid proof iPad cases. On the bus I'm always hearing Cocomelon brain rot being played somewhere. Do kids even play with regular toys that much now? I see the occasional doll being carried around. But it's mostly tablets.

A certain car commercial, relaxing background music, driving at a green hill, going behind the green bushes, expecting the car to reappear...

That most of my minecraftubers that I watched turn out to be losers, Pedos, cucks, and faggots.

It separates fantasy and reality of how these people live

My knees.

I slammed my shoulder bodysurfing and it took four months and PT to heal.

There are weird, transparent, completely random long hairs sprouting on my face. First they appeared under my right eyebrow, then they started coming up under my left, and in the past couple of weeks I've found them on my cheek and chin. Since they're so fine and colourless, I only find them completely by chance. I'm terrified that I'm actually covered by the things, and everyone can see that I'm turning into a fucking yeti and they're too polite to say anything.

I never expected that aging would involve having to wax my forehead.
