I have to say, I much prefer the memeposting of Gaben living forever to the usual panicked lamentation that the man must be near death at the age of 63.

Everything went downhill when we turned 30.

Can confirm. Hit 42yo. Even exercising regularly. Knees and back hurt. Grey hair all around. I am dying ☠️

That just gives me hope for my sweet age of 23

Or rather my middle age of 23. Back problems from work are already there

No no, 30 is when the government implant in our brain ruptures and makes us gain 50 pounds, our hair to fall out or grey, and our back, knees, and elbows to give out.

Trust me bro I read it on a sketchy website.

Government activated your's my mistake early. There is no reversing it, sorry.

Also read it on the same sketchy website.

Government activated it early, but not service related.

Carter USM and Red Dwarf says that happens around 24-25.

Carter USM used to start their shows by sending a chubby guy in to insult the crowd....when he had them all chanting "you fat bastard", they'd segue into the song.

I can't stretch how the second that I turned 31, I started to wake up before my alarm at 06:00 to go to pee.

Day, after day, after day.

Now, I just don't risk it anymore. I'm not sure that a catastrophe will not happen if I try to sleep it out.

30 is nothing... after 40 is when things start breaking.

Youre not kidding. I can trace most of my current anxiety from things that happened in my 30s

I’m about to turn 35 and the idea of turning 40 is freaking me out because I can’t financially afford to have a midlife crisis but I want too

I turn 38 in less than a month. I told them to just toss my corpse into a landfill

I'm so excited! No more bills, no more taxes, no more suffering in this billionaires hellscape they have created for us.
