I still feel addressed when there's something about "young people". At 34.
Wait, I'm not "young people"? (37)
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.
Still applicable. I think.
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!
I still remember the day I grew old. After forgetting my change at a self checkout machine, an younger attendant ran after me and refered to me as 'sir'. After that day, I was no longer young. I was 29.
I realised I had become an adult when some woman told her kid "that mister" would tell him off if he didn't behave, and gestured in my direction. I looked behind me. There was nobody there.
I had become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. Fear me, little children, and despair.
Mister, this is a Wendys.
I'm sorry that happened to you sir
I remember the day as well. I walked all through the store grabbing everything I needed and while waiting in the checkout I realized I forgot the milk. I laughed and said "Oh wow" then the guy behind me looked at me and I shrugged and said "I forgot the milk!" and left the line I'd been standing in for a few minutes to get the milk.
My age at the time didn't matter because it was on that day, I became old. Talking to strangers in the grocery store, forgetting to get the milk, and laughing about it? Old.
Damn, I turned old when I grabbed some coloring pages off the ground to give them back to a child and got called the "nice fat lady" afterwards by the child. Double whammy
The first time you find yourself yelling at a young person for loitering is like a religous experience.
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.
This doesn't stop even when you hit 40
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
No ❤️
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 never understood why this particular meme needed to be told from within the SpongeBob universe
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 am 37. I need to die.
Why
I turn 30 this year. I'm ready
I am half-way through 21 now so I can't say I'm basically a teenager anymore :(
I know this and I am in my 40ies.
Dont blink, or you'll be 47
Oh 27 I'm 27.... Oh wait... No!!!!
