This response to this meme means I’m still young, right?
For me the lines are parallel too, but swopped
When I was 20 I decided 1-30 the various stages of young, 30-60 middle aged, 60-90 elderly, 90+ bonus stage.
Worked so far.
I hate that in 9 years I have to put away my “Never trust anyone over 30” sign.
you just update it but each time it becomes harder. im at 6.
I have a strange relationship with this thought. I grew up hanging around kids who were much older than me, and I looked a lot older than I was, so I didn’t have that period a lot of kids do where they think 25 or 30 is old.
Also, my parents had me later than is typical (Mom was 35, Dad was 40), so they were in their 50s when I was a teen, and that just seemed like normal adult age to me.
If you had asked me at what age I considered someone to be old, I probably would have said around 60 for most of my life. I’m in my early 60s now, and I can’t decide if I feel differently about it. I don’t really have a problem considering myself old: my kids are adults, I’m getting ready to retire, etc. On the other hand, it feels like there’s a huge difference between 60s old and 70s or 80s old.
Oh, and though my opinions on a lot of things have evolved over the decades, I don’t feel different mentally (I don’t just mean sharpness, but the way I approach things and my outlook). But my back is stiff if I sit for too long.
I don’t think I’m representative though.
Reminded me of a Terry Pratchet line.
“What doesn’t die, doesn’t age. What doesn’t age, doesn’t learn. What doesn’t learn, doesn’t live.”
“What doesn’t eat, doesn’t shit”
So beautiful…
I think I hear a four chord song queuing up…
Oldness is relarive, but the euphemisms for “old” are not. For example I’m pretty sure you don’t get “advanced in years” until around the age of 60-65. But being “senior” feels more like 50 to me.
Donald?
Growing old is manditory. Growing up is optional.
I was told, at 36, that I’m ‘still young’ by my doctor. Lady, I’m literally halfway through life if you assume the average American lifespan of 72. That’s not young. I’m LITERALLY middle-aged.
72? That seems kinda low, but then I guess I know why.
I need to be using Wolfram Alpha more
Wow! Super neat.
It’s really good and has been around for years before this ai stuff.
Edit: I used to help with my calculus homework back in the day for example. It was the first site I saw that was pretty good at understanding human language input like 15 years ago.
Your second link is really impressive. I tried adding white and it couldn’t compute but I’m also Canadian and there may be less data.
Huh. The more you know.
Old in my eyes is around 50 to 60
That doesn’t mean I’m young though. 32 and age is creeping on me. I’m in the middle age part of life
