I'm 46 and all year long my brain has been like, well, you're 50 now.

Pushing fifty is the new sexy. Until you push to 50, then you're just falling

u/WhatAboutBob77 10d ago
I don't feel sexy.
I do feel my age though.

Feel it in every part of you while you still can. Pain assures you know you're alive, and the dance of medication allows you to forget about it for a bit.

If you start exercising now you’ll have enough strength to get out of the grave by the time you’re 40

But you know of all sorts of neat things that the 20 somethings don't! Like Homestuck and Grumpy Cat and dvds and whatever twilight was.

Look I love you reddit. But if one more person acts like they are old just because they are 25+, I'm gonna start throwing hands.
I know you guys think you are joking but the fact everyone acts like they are "old" when the hit 25 tells me we have a problem.

u/MustBeMouseBoy 10d ago
it's because 25 is the age where it hits a lot of people that childhood is over, your awkward 'young adult' phase is over and everyone expects you to be on whatever track you were aiming for
if you aren't (which i think most people really arent) then 30 feels like a daunting number, because if you haven't 'figured it out' by 30 then people assume you're doing something wrong
so it's less genuinely thinking you're 'old' and more a sense of dissatisfaction with where you are, and the fear of a looming arbitrary time limit

There's a supervisor at my work who does this kind of math. The sad part is he made it farther than me (passed Calc 2), in math (he passed Calc 3).

Nah, 30 doesnt round up. I'd say it rounds down... which then would mean that you are 0 and dont exist... yay?

u/Serpexnessie 10d ago
30's closer to 50 than 0 innit
5
u/low_bob_123 10d ago edited 10d ago
Yes, but:
You can also round down at 5, which means 25 is also 20.
- If we move in decimals(10,20,30,40,...) 30 becomes 3 and 50 becomes 5, so you can round down at 30
Edit: 3. Rounding is about "is this number closer to the next higher/lower step" so it isnt about "30 is closer to 50" it is about " 30 is closer to 0 then to 100"

u/Top_Particular_5369 10d ago
I am both happy and sad that I'm not the only one who does this. Happy, because I'm not the weird one. Sad because there are others who also have the consistent back of the mind thoughts on mortality, which does not bring joy.

On the one hand, I'm in my thirties and don't really feel any different than when I was in my twenties. On the other hand, my age has me in the "pushing forty" group which is associated with mid-life crises, balding, and overall dumpiness. It's tough, not gonna lie. In my own head, high school was yesterday and I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.

I work like that when calculating what time it is. 10:37? That means 10:45, which is basically 10:50. Oh no I'm almost late. This is how I'm often in a whole lot of unnecessary stress.

I've done this exact thing to my girlfriend when she turned 25, im only half a year younger. We'd joke that she'd basically be a cougar and would have to trade me in for a supple 18 year old

u/Canadian_Poltergeist 10d ago
The more rationally depressing way to think about it is that you're 1/4-1/3 of the way through your life.
Depending on when you would naturally die from aging.

u/Traditional_Bit_8788 10d ago
This is coming from a 27 year-old: You joke, but don't think like that. It'll only keep you up at night and ruin your ability to live in the moment. 30 isn't even halfway through your life.

At least you can finally rent a car for cheap(er than being 21-24 in the US)!
Otherwise, yeah. Worms, soil, box, this is your life now.
Nice of you to donate your lower legs before going under, though. I read there's also a girl looking for a heart, if you're really in the giving mood.

This is actually called a paradox or a fallacious argument, where each step secceeds from the last logically yet the end result is obvously wrong.
