to startle them, start sentences with
In the late 20th century we used to…
Take your ibuprofen papa.
I would, but my stomach hurts when I do 😭
I should work on my forearms.
my daughter casually called the 90s the “late 1900s”.
We’re cooked
she’s not wrong, you fossil.
My daughter loudly reminds me that I was born in the LAST CENTURY…
Wait til she figures out it was also the last millennium.
The millennium with the falcon.
I was born in the late 90s and do this occasionally. It sounds cool and makes the right people squirm.
By the end of the last century…
The bad thing is that this is becoming less funny to say, because it’s becoming actually a long time ago.
Tell me about it. Im officially out of my mid twenties and scared
Way back before the turn of the century
I honestly prefer that instead of “the last generation that could have done something to stop the extinction of mankind and did nothing”, which wouldnt be exactly true… but…
Are you back Violet?
1982 here, became a furry last year, i now pole dance in VR, lost 70lbs, fitter than ever ^^
Is your fursona a dinosaur?
my fursona is an anubian jackal named anuwubis. uwu.
Beauty has been restored into the world ✨✨✨
Do you make money? Thats wild. I love the 21st century
i work full time in IT yeah, pole dancing in VR costs me money, zero revenue from this hobby
of course its IT
Dang, you should drop a buymeacoffee link or something on your next session. Full body tracking is not cheap xD
aha i’ll consider it when I’m better at it, but i just started my tiktok doing that, so maybe there’s potential! ^^
I am neither a furry, nor into VR pole dancing, but you should drop us a link for shits and giggles. I’d rather support people doing their weird hobbies for fun instead of meaningless wage slave jobs for misery.
Don’t feel compelled to, if you don’t want to associate your Lemmy profile with your VR furry pole dancing profile, but if you are having fun with it, you should consider sharing it regardless of how good you are, if only to show other people that this thing exists, and they may have fun with it too
oh of course you can see it :) it’s just that tiktok is very far away from what people in the fediverse expect of monetization free-surveillance free-self hosted-open source software ^^
Can’t argue with that.
Tbh, ive always loved the idea of pole dancing or burlesque but am a v anxious bean. VRC might be the buffer i need. Now i just need a pole and full body tracking lmao
it’s quite mesmerizing to see people fling around like gravity doesn’t exist! I would never have thought this was something for me, but there is someone with a big big heart giving away his time and skill for free lessons twice a week.
i’ve been stoked from the moment i saw him and his students move like that, 7 days later there was a pole in my playspace, and i’ve been doing it for three months months now.
The opportunities to learn things in VRChat are incredible, so many avenues to get better at something: languages, singing, yoga, dancing, chess, photography… and then all the skills needed to make your avatar come to life the way you want with Blender, Substance 3D Painter, Unity Editor, VRCFury…
Fun fact: More time has passed between today and 1999, than between 1999 and the Second Cod War.
Ah, 1999, the early days of the Bass wars.
Many Bass was slapped.
The second COD was released in 2005 so that males sense.
I can still remember the stories about when the halibut took back the mid Atlantic ridge.
I find these memes funny. Because one day you’ll wake up and find yourself where we old people are. Time really flies by quickly. So, enjoy your youthful times and make as much memories as you can.
1970s ain’t got shit to do with the 1990s you mf toddler
Don’t you have grandchildren to play with?
Nah I got fixed because it was actually legal and not completely abnormal to have done when I came of childbearing age.
Alright, calm down fossil. There’s less time between you and us, than there is between us and today - ergo we’re all getting older here.
you didn’t even have domestic internet you protozoa
Did you mean “we didn’t”?
I’d say you got me on that one, but my hone’s internet connection was so shite I basically didn’t have it until the 2000s.
Besides you guys had ARPAnet, I’m sure you could make do with that haha
(Now we just need a Centennial to come in here and say we’re both young for having had computers full stop)
Have my angry upvote. After I’ve shaken the dust out of my joints.
84 and I would tell you to go eat some flaming genitalia but my back is sprained or something (for real)
My 1970’s born self appreciates all you horned up youngsters. Things have been…interesting since my early forties when a touch of grey came in.
I hear you. A few wrinkles around my eyes and daily cardio, and I haven’t gotten so much young mom attention since I was taking my kids to the playground. 10 more years, and I may do the same with potential grandkids. That will be a deadly combo.
Personally, I expect the twentysomething attention to fall off a cliff as we hit or get very close to 60. I expect the age group that’ll give us the time of day then to be fortysomething year olds.
I wouldn’t mind that. I’m already finding it difficult to find a common topic to talk about with the twentysomethings.
Can’t imagine such a low stress life that greys didn’t come in till 40s, I’m over here with greys in my late 20s…
I think it’s genetic sometimes - I didn’t have a single grey hair until I was 35, which is when a bunch of health stuff kicked off.
Still don’t have much grey at 48, and my grandfather was only about 50/50 when he died at 85.
I have not had a stress-free life.
True that genetics do take a part of it, but sadly both of my parents didn’t develop greys until their mid-50s…
It is, in turn 40 this year and in the past year they’ve only just started to fill in. My dad had almost completely black hair into his early 60s. Both he and I have had super stressful lives. My mom had very obvious grays by the time I was born when she was 27. He’s half Native American and she’s 100% Dutch so wildly different genetics
I think it’s genetic
Yeah, I knew a guy back in high school who at 18 started going bald, and not a nice bald, poor bugger. There was another man I met who was in his 50s and had white hair since he was 11 or so, thick full pure white hair. Myself, @50ish, maybe 10 whiteish hairs on my head, and about half my beard.
I’ve had them since my early 20s.
The years have been cruel
I hope it’s a few select hairs and not patches :') that’s how it was for me starting at around 22.
It was patches. Its zones now that 20 more years have gone by
How is it to look at kids growing up to 30 year old adults?
Haha, just have your kids later in life then you don’t have to see them grow old.
I’m from the 60’s and my eldest just turned twenty.
It’s an epidemic 'round here as well.
Indeed. I seem to be a magnet for baby gays
‘85. Don’t care. Still making and sharing good art.
Same year! High five!
I’m almost old enough to be an 18 year old’s dad, and it’s a strange feeling.
it’s crazy on the opposite end too cause wdym someone born in 1990 is old enough to be my dad (i’m a Feb 2008 baby). that’s so recent and most of my favorite celebrities are from that era and I don’t see them as old😭
The youngest confirmed dad was 12
Welcome back violet
I’m old enough to have a grandchild that’s 18. I still am not sure how I feel about it.
This reasoning also means you’re old enough to be a parent. Technically correct, and it happens I guess.
But hey, if it rustles your jimmies, get some and enjoy it 😃 as long as it involves consenting adults, don’t let others yuck your yum!
that’s exactly what I’m doing rn, living my daddy fantasy this summer. plus, I asked my dad to set me up with someone, so the guy I’m seeing is vetted and my dad knows him well, which makes me feel super safe and comfortable. i’ll probably get hate for this on here, but it is what it is.😌
Hey, who fucking cares if some squares want to shame you. Just block them. Enjoy your life and experience pleasure the way you want to. Nobody has the right to gatekeep you on that.
As a side note, as amusing as your posts are, I also think it’s pretty cool how relentlessly sex-positive you seem to be.
Somehow, I don’t think this crowd will frown on a girl dating someone old enough to be her dad.
in March, I made a post on asklemmy about going on a date with a '93 guy (date ended up not happening) and oh boy did i get flamed.😭
Jealousy is real
I’m so old that an 18 year old was born AFTER i had finished school. I’m so decrepit.
Now I’m scared of that time
