When you need to buy something specific and remembering that there were this shop that was selling the thing only to find out that it was close for 5 years now.
I wanted to buy some giutar strings for a friend as a gift and had to Google the shops nearby cause all that i knew of were closed.

This post. Bionicle was my Ninjago. That was 20+ years ago. Holy shit. Remembering Skyrim is nearly 15 years old also makes me feel ancient.

What makes me feel old is that Bionicle and Ninjago are the new, gay, ruined Legos. Except they're already ancient, seriously, is Bionicle really 20 now? The cool awesome Legos are Town, Castle, Space and Pirate, with Pirate being a bit on the new side...except those are now closing in on 40 years old.

This set was fuckin' amazing

Instead of Doom scrolling, I've been browsing the home Depot website. Hell going to the hardware store in general is incredibly fun now. I could literally spend all day there. I get excited about light fixtures and sealant.

I used to get excited about screwing. Now I get hot and bothered over screws on sale.

That's some quirk chungus ass shit if I've ever seen it.

For me it's being about to make some pop culture reference then really realize it was to something from twenty years ago.
Sometimes I'll think of people who have been dead longer than they were alive and be like 'it happens'.

Just what internet humor has devolved into. In middle and high school we had Ebaums World, New Grounds, YTMND, and Homestar Runner. I have a cousin who just graduated high school show me some "funny" YouTube videos, and was some of the most unfunny shit I've ever seen.

The internet 20 years ago was so diverse, and much more vast. Now FB, X, and TikTok seems to take up 90% of it.

Occasionally having this mentality where, you know the world should be in a better place. But when you think about how really fucked human history is and how the world has been, you just figure "ah fuck it, I'll die soon and won't give much of a fuck anyways".

Because of lot of that content was probably just people simply being loud, overshooting on being random for random's sake and tons of ADHD material right? Oh and throw in some reaction stuff, too.

Reddit too is one of those places that take up a lot of internet traffic as well. I liked it better when the internet had web portals, where things were kept in one place. MSN, Yahoo! and somehow AOL are still kicking but are functioning like as if it was then with the many ways they try keeping you in one place. It was just easier to ignore them and go exploring which is what the internet used to have done, it encouraged you to explore. It doesn't do that anymore because now everyone treats you like a statistic, you're just a number, please stay on our social media platform and just 'contribute' content or bitch about things. Please stay. That's the kind of attitude I get from today's internet, just keep being a number, make the userbase look great and profit off from those metrics.

It turns out that I have developed a liking for the fertilizer smell in the outdoor part of Home Depot. It'll probably give me cancer, but I like it.

That and the musty water smell at the tropical fish store. My smell preferences are getting weirder as I age.

Here is a stern warning:
Do Not enter cemeteries and read gravestones with dates.

"oh my. I am twice his age when he died"
"hmm I graduated high school when he was born..."

The mortality slap is intense.

Occasionally I'll remember bemusedly that I'm way older than Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Hendrix ever managed to get. Hell, I've survived longer than Jesus Christ did at this point.

So if I ever somehow met any of these iconic personalities in the afterlife -- all of us now permanently transfixed at the ages we died -- even Jesus would be a bit of a kid compared to me.
