Because literally everyone on Lemmy is 35
That must be why I like it more here.
I'm a decade older, but I feel like a lot of people who left for Lemmy were active on Reddit 10-12 years ago, and have preference for the flavor of discourse of that time. As it grew, reddit became far too sarcastically meta in a lot of ways. What was once a spicy "in joke" became boilerplate. I'm not surprised at the exhumation of the old memes. It may just be a phase of some sort, a necessary reset, who knows?
Im 12 and what is this?
35 is a very young age that people in their 40ies like me envy the youth of.
Nah, you're two years off.
Or, more likely, my parents managed to hide two years of my life from me.
That's awful sneaky of them.
Yours, too?!
Damn them! Stealing our years with the expectation they'll get to enjoy them. Not in the cheapest retirement home Florida can offer!
Aww shucks, thanks. I'm actually 40 but people say I look younger since I went on a diet.
