What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?
-
I stepped out of a van wrong and completely tore my acl and mcl and partially tore my lcl (basically, fucked up my knee).
-
Do you have to calculate it now though? I have to go let's see, I was born in the year… It used to be innate knowledge.
-
Tech also just isn't advancing and changing as much as it was when we were younger so it's not as exciting anymore
-
My wife and I get excited every time we come across articles about exoskeleton tech. Can we expedite this a little? I want a mech suit—not a fucking wheelchair—when I reach that age.
Also, a note to the designers: make sure you can use the toilet with it. Extrapolating current trends, I suspect this will become one of my primary activities.

While listening to the oldies radio station and hearing music that was popular while you were in high school

I like this comment the best. These points are all true, undeniable. Aging is funny cause you never can tell how old someone is.
I work at a liquor store with a college feel and holy shit I card everyone!!
-
Stuff hurts more than it used to.
-
COVID really did destroy the flow of time for me.
-
I don't get that at all. To me it feels like there's so much progress happening right now.
-
Hungovers last longer, so do injuries from sport, easier to put on weight, less patience for bullshit, more selective with whom I spend my time with... There are so many!
-
Weirdly enough I got way better at night driving post-40.
-
I don't think this is true.
It's not exciting to me any more because I hate the way it's changing the world.
In the 2010s it felt like tech would save us.

- At 30 you reach the peak.
- At 40 you start to have small health problems that don't go away and are mostly annoyance.
- At 50 you seek help because it's more than annoyance. You get your first permanent medication.
- At 60 it's somewhat limiting and for the first time causing Intermediate pain.
- At 70 it's debilitating and pain is a familiar companion. You might have your first seizures.
- At 80 if it hasn't killed you yet, it soon will. You are probably an invalid or close to it.
- At 90 if you are still hanging on, you are waiting for death and welcoming it.
That's pretty much it, ±10 years.

Ain't it brutal? They say if you haven't started balding at age 40, you probably never will, but I've known several people with a full head of lush hair at 40, and in their early fifties, it's all gone to hell.

- Your former school teachers die. At this point, I think the majority of mine is gone.
- Your gum recedes, and there's nothing you can do about it except to stop smoking. On a larger scale, your circulation gets worse because your erythrocytes become less elastic, for reasons still unknown. Add to this the most damaging impact of UV light and our atmosphere's oxygen - an objectively very aggressive chemical - and you start shriveling, just withering away from the outside. Molecular bonds are simply getting broken faster than they get repaired. Your insides last a bit longer, but their days are numbered, too.
- On the plus side, you'll get to learn new words for body parts you didn't even know you had.
-
I don't enjoy gaming anymore
-
I am 34. Close to 40, but not there yet.
-
I don't think that's a age thing.
-
The Baz Lurhman's Sunscreen Song is correct in every way.
-
Unless you are 70, that sounds more like a problem with lack of exercise and stretching catching up to you.
Not judging.
