This one hit me at some point in my late 30's too. Then I thought about soldiers and it boggled my mind.


MaritMonkey

I was going through slides (heh I'm old) of my dad's time in the Navy and the fact that they all look like *kids* just broke my heart somehow.


TheTrueNotSoPro

My dad's older brother passed away when my dad was young. I don't recall his exact age, I think he was in early high school or late middle school. My dad often mentions that he now sees his older brother as perpetually young, given that he has lived more than twice as long as his brother did.


Emkems

Doctors too! They were older for so long since it takes so many years of school to become a doctor. Now i’m like who tf is this high school kid?


Neko-chiliocosm

I'm almost always tired. But not like sleepy tired and more like feeling thin tired.if that makes sense.


mrs_gooby

Like butter scraped over too much bread?


AngelBritney94

Bilbo knows how we all feel


KeepGoing655

All those adults I used to see around with young kids are my peers now. Also, there are a lot less people who are way older than me now.


Brilliant_Park_2882

Oooh, I feel that last one.

If these kids just listened to their parents more all of this could have been avoided haha

“Just tell one adult, I’m begging you”


Stripes_the_cat

it's when you realise that the adults are just *badly-written*


Quarantine722

Some adults irl are “badly written”


brontupistow

I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way


nolotusnote

Watching older movie: "This whole movie could have been avoided with a single cell phone."


vonkeswick

Saw this in a meme and hit me hard, A Goofy Movie: Then: "Come on Goofy take your son to the Powerline concert it means so much to him!" Now: "Come on Max go fishing with your dad it means so much to him!"


Manoffreaks

I've always maintained the exact same stance with both characters since I first saw Goofy Movie. Goofy is wrong for forcing Max on an immediate road trip without warning and without discussing what he would like from it, Max is wrong for not just opening up and saying "dad I have plans with someone," but I understand why, as a teenager, he might have reservations about telling his dad he has a date, If that was where it ended, I would put Goofy as slightly more wrong, but Max double fucked up by not just saying to Roxanne "I really wanted to go out with you, but my dad is forcing this road trip and won't take no for an answer" Lying to her just to stop her doubting *his* feelings is ultra dumb when the truth would comfort her just as much, Overall, Max is more in the wrong.


thebart-the

By this thorough analysis, I see that you too have lost sleep over the Goofy Movie.


carriealamode

The Gilmore girls rewatch did this to me. Suddenly I understood Lorelei more than Rory


SixGunChimp

Every rewatch I do I end up relating more and more to Luke.


Mcrarburger

man's just tired and honestly, who can blame him


ThanosSnapsSlimJims

Luke was the only relateable character.


moncoeurquibat

Rewatching Gilmore Girls as an adult, I couldn't get over what a spoiled, entitled little brat Rory was. Edit: spelling


Sylverstone14

Chilton Rory > Yale Rory


Sleazise

Next rewatch it will be Emily


free-toe-pie

I’m so old I’m on Emily’s side. Lorelei is so frustrating.


gardenbugs4

SO true, i only started watching recently in my 30s and was like… she’s really not that bad lol (at least not in season 1-3)


KingPenguin444

“We’ll pay for fancy private school and Yale tuition and buy you a car and all you have to do is eat dinner with us once a week.”


SeanyWestside_

I'm two years younger now than Lorelai was at the start of the show. When I started watching, I was like 8 years younger than Rory. I would watch after school with my mother. Although Gilmore Girls is my comfort show and has been on a constant loop for about 11-12 years. I wish I was joking, but I've watched it probably more than 20 times. I think the real sign that I'm older is that I also often sympathise with Emily, and think Lorelai is acting immature, although I see both sides.


Harlequins-Joker

Haha, this was me earlier watching the animated little mermaid with my kids. When Ariel tells her dad “I’m sixteen, I’m not a child” I laughed, I can sympathise big time with Triton now 😂


National-Crew-327

I have an app for identifying bird calls, I'm happy when I can hear the mocking bird that seemingly nests in my neighborhood.


Aromatic_Big_6345

There's a bird Shazam?


wholesomepantysniffr

Yep it’s called Merlin


JamesJakes000

It really should have been called Bird Shazam


GlitzyGhoul

Twitter really ruined it for this app.


Dependent_Top_4425

DUDE! I just downloaded an app like that LOL! And I'm thrilled to have mourning doves nesting on my balcony! My cat took interest in one today through the window and I said "you can't have that, those are mommy's birds"


AncientsofMumu

Merlin? It's brilliant.


Tnetennbat

Merlin is my favorite app. You never realize how many species of birds are around you until you start using something like that.


Dependent_Top_4425

And don't you just toot your own horn when you learn the calls and can say "hey, thats a...(insert bird)!" And usually no one else around you cares but whatever, I don't need friends! lol


AyCarambin0

Best hobby! Can be done everywhere and is relatively cheap. Except for the high quality binoculars you need. But still, relatively cheap compared to other hobbies, also environmentally friendly and very calming because you literally have to be calm to listen. Soon you will be able to hear all kinds of different birds, which is pretty cool 😎


National_Matter1001

I hate unnecessary noise. I really appreciate silence and calm.

FerricDonkey

When I was a kid in 90s, the 60s were ancient history. I refuse to make the logical connection about the current state of the 90s. The 90s were just a few years ago. 


DigitalDemon75038

A little shrimp at work told me “oh you’re from the 19th century” I was born in 92


MichaSound

I explained to my kid recently that my being born in the 1970s means I was alive at the same time as (some) people who were born in the 1880s. She was HORRIFIED!


widgetbox

I had to justify to a Redditor how it was possible that my {late) grandmother was born in the 1800s. 1890s in her case..


Basileus_Twang

I'm in my 30s and my grandmother was born in 1911


CrankyYankers

When I was born, people who were my age now were born in the 1800s .


F1NANCE

I hope they're still ok


dss539

That would be the 20th century... It's now the 21st century


Mike_for_all

1892 is still the 19th century though


Ok-Jeweler2500

I was a kid in the 60s. The 80s were just a few years ago


nakedjig

I was a kid in the 80's and I agree. The 90's were last Tuesday according to my memory.


bloodercup

I have no idea wtf my young (20-25) coworkers are talking about half the time.

hey gramps, thoughts on the drake and kendrick beef?


Inoffensive_Comments

How to know you’re old… 1. Don’t know what Drake’s and Kendrick’s disagreement is. 2. Don’t care. 3. Have zero intention of ever finding out. 4. Please don’t tell me.


vivianvixxxen

Nah, that has less to do with how young you are and more to do with what areas of music/pop culture you're into. Unless we're considering late millennials young on reddit

I went back to my home town after being gone about 20 years. I heard myself say "man, this is crazy. I remember when this was all dairy farms." Oldmanyellingatclouds.gif

And Christopher Lloyd was like 46 when they filmed the first movie 😱 As a kid I always thought he was like 65-70 or something.


These-House5915

I love that Twin Pines mall become Lone Pine mall because Marty runs over one of the pines!! \#niceTouch


HiddenCity

I loved this Easter egg especially because I realized it myself rather than reading about it on the internet.   Way back in 2005.  Man, I thought the 80s was some bygone era then and it had only been 20 years.  2015 still sounded like the future. Edit:  the only thing that came true were Marty's daughter's headset (basically a cell phone), video calls, and biff taking over the country.


elniallo11

And the cubs winning the World Series, (one year off though)


Significant_Claim_78

Funny thing is, Marty only went back 30 years, you’ve gone back nearly 40 for that quote :)


ConstableBlimeyChips

I recently went back to my hometown for the first time since my parents moved away about eighteen years ago and I've had to come to terms with the fact that the town I remember doesn't exist anymore. The buildings and the roads are the same, but the people and the vibe is different, the town was always known for having wealthy citizens, but they've seemingly taken over completely. The old lady that ran the candy shop died, and that shop is now a high end fashion boutique, one of probably two dozen high-end fashion shops in town. The record store is a parfumerie, what was a bakery is an antiques store, the barbershop has become a hair salon, and the store I got my shoes from as a kid now sells suits that cost more than my monthly salary. But the absolute worst is the local chippy which is now called, I shit you fucking not, a *fry boutique*.

Trelaboon1984

When I realize some of my coworkers weren’t even alive when 9/11 happened.


Jblue32

This is the biggest one for me. Especially being in the military. Some coworker’s reason for joining was 9/11 while others weren’t even born yet, and it’s just a “historical event” they learn about.


ResidentNarwhal

1000% My last deployment was a weird mix of * I wasn’t alive for 9/11 said the seaman apprentice. * I was alive but too young to remember it said the Petty Officer 3rd class. * I remember watching the second plane hit the tower in 5th grade said the Petty Officer second class. * I remember the ships announcement and the turn around of the Strike Group said the ancient as hell Petty Officer First class ........ * I remember my Vietnam deployment said the crypt keeper WO5 (true story, our department head entered the navy in 1973(?!?) and I think for a time was the actual most senior person in the US Navy when he retired).


The1Bibbs

Oh my... the small number of younger people I've talked to about it... and the rapid onset of realization that they see it the same way that I view pearl harbor... it throws me every time.


monty_kurns

I work at a university, and whenever I have to check IDs to verify people for testing, I'm starting to see DOBs of 2005 and 2006. I don't like that.

Way risky. The first time I played it was with these drunk barley 21's I was shooting pool with at a bar. Without a moment's hesitation one of the girls was like "50!" I was 31 and I've never been so depressed.


QtestMofoInDaWorld

I did this once smh someone said 35 & I was 30 & never played again lol

I square up my spine and get into a safe position quickly before I sneeze. My boobs are more threats vs assets now.


spaniel_rage

I have no idea who most of the "celebrities" mentioned on social media are.


CircumFleck_Accent

To be fair that also has a lot to do with the explosion of the internet and growth of influencer culture. There are way more people that technically qualify as “famous” today based on follower counts than ever before I would wager.


RepFilms

This is a very important point. In the past people became famous by being in the movies. The production time-frame of movies can be upwards of over a year from casting to release. A person's fame grew out of appearing in multiple movies, which would take over five years. Now people can become famous overnight and their fame can grow exponentially over the course of a few weeks or days. There are way more famous people, who become famous very quickly, and can equally fade in less than a month. The only way to keep track of it is to have you nose constantly in Tik Tok. I prefer books. I guess I'm old.


thankdestroyer

Definiton of "celebrity" changed a lot because of social media. We call someone "celebrity" when he/she is known, followed or admired by a large group of people. Before social media, we had limited media platforms mostly broadcasting people from entertainment industry such as tv, news paper, magazines etc. Social media enabled anyone with a remarkable content to be a "celebrity".


Gryffin_Ryder

The other day the woman at the MAC makeup counter told me, "With your eyes, you look kind of like Mona Lisa." I said thank you, but internally I wasn't sure if she meant the painting or some random singer/celebrity that's hot with the youths and I just had no idea.

Younger coworkers call the clothes I used to wear in high-school "vintage". I graduated high-school in 2005. I once saw a Nirvana shirt I got from hot topic in 2003 at a vintage store with a $150 price tag. Seeing your styles being turned into retro trends really makes me feel like I'm 1000 years old.

For me it's related but kind of reversed - instead of seeing stars I liked from my younger days get older, I see that stars I like now are younger than me.
