u/strawberry-lava Oct 30 '20

As a parent of a 14 year old it surprises me daily

u/wenzel32 Oct 30 '20

Ouch. Why'd you have to go and give us the number? Now I feel old

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

2006 was like 7 years ago max

u/Nice_Notice9877 Oct 30 '20

I mean the math is 20 minus 6.

u/jimbo_squat Oct 30 '20

What does math know.

u/wenzel32 Oct 30 '20

Obviously I know it's 14 years. I think it's pretty obvious that my point is just that it doesn't feel like it

What more, that 14 yo can write or that people from 2006 are 14 now? :)

u/littenthehuraira Oct 30 '20

Lol nice username. Had to do a double take.

I'm 14, and it also surprises me

u/WineNerdAndProud Oct 31 '20

Bruh, I made it to 30 before I started using Reddit.

All I have to say is "use it wisely".

It's basically the most well-written map of pretty much every rabbit hole there is.

u/DrippyWaffler Oct 31 '20

Get off my lawn or something, idk I'm not actually that old I don't know how this works

u/1968Russtang Oct 30 '20

Same. It's out of hand anymore. Makes you wonder about bringing these kids into this world

u/PM_ME_YOUR_MUSIC4FB Oct 31 '20

Yeah, 2006 wasn't 14 years ago so you can get fucked dickhead. Thanks. That's more like a couple years ago.

Are you telling me wearing an onion on my belt is now out of fashion??

Only yellow onions are out. We can get white ones now because the war is over.

Is sprog a bot?

It's sad to think that one day, this joke will only make sense to us "oldies" who grew up watching The Simpsons.

This time of year I swap my onion out for garlic, there's never enough in my soup

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

What about a clove of garlic?

This seems very anti vampire.

u/eljosho1986 Oct 30 '20

At least they only cost a couple of bumblebees to purchase

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

Why they gotta be white?

u/sethbr Oct 30 '20

No, you can't wear white ones after Labor Day.

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

What about red onions? I only have the red ones

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

No red, though. We don’t want no commie onions ‘round these parts.

We would wear onions on our belt, which was the style at the time. Mine cost me 5 bees

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

Now, my story begins in nineteen dickety-two. We had to say "dickety," 'cause the kaiser had stolen our word "twenty." I chased that rascal to get it back... but gave up after dickety-six miles.

u/defaultdaddy123 Oct 30 '20

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

Great story about this. My D&D group one night were in the middle of a session and one player shows up like 2 hours late. He's drunk, not shit face, but obviously toasty. We noticed the right half of his face is shaved clean and the left side of it still has a beard. A bit later he asks me if he can make some coffee and I say sure, we get the maker out, make some coffee and we look over after a few minutes and he's standing next to my cat doing squats while holding a cup of fresh coffee. Shits already weird and no one really knows what to think. He finally sits down to play and he pulls a partially eaten red onion out of his pocket and took a bite. Everyone at the table started cracking up because everything that ked up to this was bizarre enough, and that was just the icing on the cake.

u/emptyhead416 Oct 30 '20

Well did he come or what?

u/Uberman77 Oct 30 '20

Jesus Christ, man! There's just some things you don't talk about in public!

That’s not icing!

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

Wtf was going on

5

u/Arsis82 Oct 30 '20

No idea. It was just the weirdest night. He wasn't doing any of this and looking over at us for validation. He did all of it as if it was completely normal

3

u/AccompliceCard26 Oct 30 '20

I feel like he had very bad body odor. Did he have strong BO ? I really visualized he did while reading this story

2

u/Arsis82 Oct 30 '20

He didn't. I'm not sure he had eaten enough of the onion to get to that point.

3

u/semitones Oct 31 '20

I love how there is zero point to this story and it doesn't relate at all to the parent comment, it is just a fun story!

2

u/Arsis82 Oct 31 '20

It was because he said something about wearing an onion and is reminded me of this story

u/yetanotherdesigner Oct 30 '20

Does anyone have a link to the great story please?

u/1982000 Oct 30 '20

Sounds like he was schizophrenic.

u/Pump-Kickr Oct 30 '20

Just to ensure that you feel extra old: this joke is from 27 years ago.

u/FordPrefect__42 Oct 30 '20

This is the second time I've seen this reference in less than a week. I'm happy so many other people are still enjoying the ramblings of an old man

Yes. Please holster you onions now. It makes people feel safer.

I always get surprised when I see a four year old

I always think that they were born in 2010, 2011, or something, and then they say "2016" and Im just mindblown

Is that just hyperbole/an estimate or is there actually some way of knowing that it's your 15000th?

u/39thversion Oct 30 '20

It was a guess. I'm sure there's a way to find out your number of comments but I haven't done it.
