Tell me your age, and I will make you feel EVEN OLDER

[SwimOdin]

It works like this: you tell me your age, and I will tell you something that happened closer to your date of birth then things going on now (2023).

For example, I’m 40. The bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima happened closer to my birth then, say, Elon Musk buying Twitter. Our perception of time is weird like that.

I'm the same age because my birthday is at the end of May. Also, They Might Be Giants has a song about getting older.

My joints are starting to hurt. Super. ;_;

[The_annoying_one]

I’m not much younger than you.

I’m 37 (will be 38 ((obviously)) in October.

I'm gonna be 41 at the end of May. My mom, a widow, is probably the most important person in the world right now. I'm not going to disparage Baby Boomers. Not right now, at least.

I mean, yeah, my parents are boomers too, and they’re great. But collectively? Awful.

We’re all getting older every second that we’re alive.

How’s that for making you feel younger?

You weren’t even a dream when MLK had a dream…

Is that really profound, or am I just overthinking this?

Mel Gibson’s birth! Or Bill Maher’s. Weird.

[katt_goddess]

I'm old enough to know better than to answer this question.

Y'all a bunch of feti.

Except probably Tsar. He seems like he knows how to throw down with a walker.
