You're wrong because literally everyone on Lemmy is 37

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

For your information I've had my birthday since joining Lemmy, so I'm 38 now (and therefore everyone else is too)

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

don't worry. If everything goes right, you will be 38

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

fhew, thanks for the encouraging words

Wow, you're 6.40237371 × 10^15 years old‽

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a very large number

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not "my back!" large tho

[–] deus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a factorial joke. 18! is quite a bit larger than "my back!" large.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Larger than the age of the universe, in fact

oh, lol, mb missed it

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone on Lemmy is either a late 30s dude (cis or trans,) mid 20s trans woman, or late teens enby. Those are the only demographics.

[–] MBM 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like I need to do some soul searching

Kisss mine 24 year old ass. When I worked at Amazon half the people thought I was in my 40s I was around 21.

19 years learning software Dev perhaps

[–] odium@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Tf are you on about? Everyone is clearly in their early 20s.

[–] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

I'm actually 27 (you have no reason not to believe this, so that makes it true)

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just imagine everyone else as a clone of myself and then have my mind blown when someone expresses an opinion I do not share. "How can you think that? You're me!"

Tumblr user: I am a different age than you.

Other Tumblr user: head explodes

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I love that I saw this comment right above one of Kolanaki's

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

47 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up to be a big boy.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have this in real life. I larp a lot, and in my mind, every larper is one of three ages: under 19, 19 to 60 or over 60

So that means that sometimes I've been playing larp for about the same length of time that someone who is "the same age as me" has been breathing.

[–] Neb@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

in my mind, every larper is one of three ages: under 19, 19 to 60 or over 60

I think that’s just true lol

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

I mean, yes, but that means someone who is 20 is "the same age" as someone who is 51.

People discovering the Internet is such a beautiful thing. Imagine telling them there is a site where people don't even have a nickname, or avatar, yet you'll find the most amazing threads (amongst all the shit). Amon is a pretty cool dude, if you ask me

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Amon is a pretty cool dude

Meanwhile, everyone on TikTok is waging generation wars

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

only because it generates engagement - The Algorithm often favours negative content

Honestly I am worried I might have arrested development or something

It feels like it’s constantly 03.08.2018 or 05.07.2016
