Last weekend I bought a switch 2, and a father and son were in front of me. I got the pokopia bundle, they got Mario kart. The kid was telling me pokopia was really good, and asked if I ever played Mario kart. So I told him the last time I played that was on the Nintendo 64 in like 1999 when I was about his age

The kid thinks for a bit, and goes "oh wow, I didn't know you were an old lady!"

Snoop and Eminem are grandparents.

About 15 years ago I started hearing Nirvana on classic rock stations.

I paid a couple kids to shovel my sidewalk. That was the moment I knew I was old.

I finally really realized both that I am old and that I am mortal after both my parents died.

Got something you want to do? Get cracking.

Recently I was listening in on a conversation and someone said "It was 15 years ago" and my reaction to that was "So not that long ago" 💀

Dad dying didn’t help, but more and more it’s the simple fact that I need a little ibuprofen to get through the day without my knees hurting.

Tech. I hate new tech more and more every year. I used to love new tech it was awesome and exciting even enjoyably silly at times.

Now I hate it. Everything spies on you. Everything is used to persecute you. Being online used to be a refuge from the shit sandwich of life, now it's become the destroyer of worlds. While there is still some good tech news, it's too often just bullshit wrapped up in surveillance packages.

Want to just EMP the world now

My class didn't know who Quentin Tarantino is.

I felt rather disconnected from youth/young adult fashion when those brokkoli hairdos became widespread. I wasn't ever particularly interested in fashion anyway, but those look like complete ass to me.

Also, Skyrim release was 15 years ago and they keep reminding you of their old-ass game by rereleasing it instead of a successor (I doubt it would be any good, anyway).

It's Quake's 30th anniversary this year.

It seems like five minutes, not five years, since the 25th.

Next year my age has a five in it, five years after it last did. I cannot comprehend this. I'm still the teen who became obsessed with Quake. How did this happen?

When people stopped seeing me. If they notice me at all, they immediately avert their gaze and look right past me. I used to get more attention than that.

Whenever someone posts "Are you this old?", and it's a picture of an original iPod, or an original Razr, or similar.

When I remember my son is the same age I was when I got married.

When I think about how many pets I've had, and they're all dead now.

When 40-year-olds talk about how old they feel.

That all my fun symptoms are "just peri menopause" FML

you, writing that 2004 is 22 years ago

Seeing a Chevy S-10 90's model with an antique license plate.

The Xbox 360 will be old enough to drink in a couple months.

Honestly, I've never felt old in my entire life.

But just from looking at me, most people cannot guess my actual age. Part of me is starting to worry that there's a picture around here somewhere that I definitely should not look at.

...

Y2K was half a lifetime ago.

The Beloit/Mindset list that comes out every year. It takes the form of "This year's college freshman have always/never ______". For instance, they've always had GPS in their pocket. They've never used a desktop computer. $Celebrity has always been dead. It's always been a post-9/11 world.

Each year, that list always makes me feel old.

I was recently thinking about the Rocky Horror Picture Show 15th anniversary box set I bought when it came out, then realized that RHPS is now just over 50 years old.

Being told that my girlfriend was probably too old to have children naturally - technically about her age rather than mine, but we were close in age.

A few years earlier, seeing people born when I graduated from high school graduating from high school themselves.

Or before even that, living longer than my mom had - she died young but I hadn't really felt how young.

This was a couple months ago, but I had a conversation with a college-age extended family member. He brought up some games he was playing, mentioning Call of Duty.

I said something along the lines of 'oh, I liked so and so feature that was in World at War or Black Ops 1'. Kid hits me with "wow, those are old. idk if I was even born yet."

When I realised I've had my job for almost twenty years now. At the beginning I though, well it's good enough while I search for something else.

A lot of bands that I liked when I was in high school are now on 20th anniversary tours of their famous albums.

Also I saw a few Pokemon red 30th anniversary banners while in Japan

Group of neighbirhood children lighting stuff on fire with a magnifying glass in the parking lot all panicked and tried to hide what they were doing as I walked to my car. 👴 Guess I'm too old for classic summer fun.

Recently realized I've gained weight seemingly overnight. Used to be rather skinny. Then I started thinking when this must have started and it's been 7 years.

When young people started to wear slim jeans. You would have been bullied for wearing such a thing when I was young.

Then a few months later when they started to wear 80s jeans again. Fashion changes every five minutes it seems.

I referred to "Shin Godzilla" as "That newer Godzilla movie."

It came out 10 years ago.
