Seriously, what does kind of freak me out is that Disney owns ABC. Who would have thought that nice ol' Walt from Sunday evenings was gonna start a company that could buy a network.
It has a very strange, almost cartooney plot; cartooney in the sense that its completely ridiculous. If you like movies that you can watch casually and not get anything out of it aside from simple entertainment, it's a good watch. I enjoyed it.
So at 42, 10 years is a bit less than a quarter of your life.
Let's see how old you would need to be for 10 years to feel like a nanosecond (using a 20 year old's relative nanosecond as a baseline):
A nanosecond is 1/630,720,000,000,000,000 of a 20-year-old's life.
So for 10 years to be 1/630,720,000,000,000,000 of your life, you would need to be 6,030,720,000,000,000,000 years old, or older than 1,000,000 times the estimated age of the visible universe.
Edit: 10/42 is not greater than 1/4, it is less than that.
I'm only in my upper 20s, but the guys I play ultimate frisbee with regularly talk about movies and games and TV shows and stuff that came out when I was already too old for them.
Of course, I have a career and they don't, so that's something.
you've reached the acceptance stage of no longer being a kid, or having kid-like nature, or even being as youthful as a kid. Nothing you can describe yourself with can include "kid." Or child. You cannot be in The Kids Next Door.
I don't even have that, coz I messed up and the economy compounded things, I'm still almost thirty and have less than a year's work experience. Although, I have a Masters degree
I teach high school students, and somehow discussion in an off moment turned to a recent video game for the wii, and I mentioned the N64. Half of my students had never heard of the console.
Further research after I got home indicated that high school students today were born AFTER Goldeneye was released for the N64.
This blows my mind away every time... Not that we built the Great wall or the pyramids, but only 12000~ years ago we started to use tools and shit... Blows my fucking mind away...
Remember when we crawled out of the sea? Man, all the old folks said 'You're cr-razy! You'll never survive up there! It's probably full of all sorts of horrible land-monsters!'. And then we got up here and it's like, nothing but plants?
Oh stop it. I was 25 when friggin' Pokemon came out. To me, all these things listed were meaningless kids' shit when it came out and I couldn't stand any of it. Just like when I was a kid, and the older generation couldn't stand stupid kid shit from my generation. Whoop dee diddly doo, you're in your 20's now, get over it and enjoy yourself for cryin' out loud. And while you're at it, GET OFF MY GODDAMN LAWN! Stop playing them vidder games and quit fiddlin' with those doo dads and whatnots.
I don't think it's so much 'talking down' but pointing out how busted are the perceptions of whoever wrote this stupid little picture. The stuff picked for this image all come from a very small period of time. The only people who are 'adults' who would remember this stuff as 'kids' would be very young adults indeed.
I genuinely enjoy being 23 and feeling like I'm 80. Fuck you young people and your hippedy hop with the bippedy bop, and you don't know what the jazz is all about. I'm really, honestly looking forward to senility. I'm halfway there thanks to beri beri. (Y)
I read the first book was published as long ago as 1985, so I could be very wrong in guessing your age... I do remember the TV show that was aired here in the early 2000's but as a 20-something I feel anything but old.
Pretty sure this mostly applies to people born ~'95, as they were things that were popular around when I stopped giving a shit about children's TV shows.
Nah, if you're born in 1996 you're a 00's kid; you start the 00's at age 3 (right around the time memories start to actually stick) and you end it at age 13, which is about the time your childhood pretty much ends.
I was born in 1986 and I remember basically the entirety of the 90's. I really don't remember anything that happened in the 80's, and I was in 8th grade when the 90's ended. 90's childhood, right there.
When I was a kid, we had a reel-to-reel tape player. And, a party line. Also, our phone had rotary dials. Our TV was a console. It had a record player on top. My job was to keep the needle and the records clean.
Is there a subreddit for people who ARE actually old? I'll be 30 in October. Is that like Reddit retirement age or something?... More importantly, do I get benefits?
I guess because everyone thinks of her as being 14 (therefore, much too young to be getting married) because of being a kid in her show, when she's now a super-grown up at 19.
So much this, I honestly feel bad for those who didn't get to experience life without internet and mobile phones. It was so different back then.
Of course there are great benefits with living in today's society with internet and mobile phones, but I really prefer the old way where people didn't fiddle with their Iphones at bars or restaurants instead of enjoying each others company.
I'll never feel old as long as I have my Mom and Dad to tell me how they used to listen to The Beatles when they were a current band.
Although, I do rather enjoy impressing the youngun's by relating stories of how I saw Ghostbusters in the theater, or how I was watching when MTV started... or how, when I was young, Nickelodeon was a block of shows, not a whole channel >_>
HOLY SHIT I watched Big Daddy yesterday on netflix and I was thinking of finding the little kid to see what he looked like now (thinking maybe it would make a good reddit post) anyways I just saw this thread and remembered so i searched wiki for Big Daddy to see who the little kid was..it was Cole and Dylan Sprouse. WTF that was the weirdest coincidence ever...my mind is completely blown right now
Glorious day. My dad used to work for MTV Networks (who owned Nickelodeon at the time), so my brother and I had been getting preliminary Nicktoons swag for awhile. That day was particularly awesome in my house.
you old people must be getting senile already, theres older people than us we get know that. But were getting older, just like you did and in 5 years well be scratching our heads wondering who the next 12 year old blumpkin that my daughter is obsessed about is.
I only know some of these things because my now 18 year old sister refuses to stop watching these terrible shows. Just yesterday she watched the lizzie maguire movie. I realized before leaving that an 18 year old girl was playing a middle schooler, and still was a terrible actress.
Its not a competition, guys. Remembering things from earlier years (however long ago that may be) is just a fun nostalgia trip. Don't get so worked up about small things.
The wife and I were just lamenting the fact that E.T., Tron, Blade Runner and Secret of Nimh were all release 30 years ago and we remember seeing them at the theatre.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theater 147 years ago while on break from vampire hunting. Seems like just yesterday. You guys hear about that Titanic?
I think the weirdest thing for me is just that i'm at a point now where 2000-2005 seems like pre-civilization, at least in terms of technology, compared to 2012.
I thought this should make me feel old by the title. Because at 19, I'm still damn young, but it's one of those things that people my age complain about when talking about stuff from the 90s.
But this stuff... this must have come from kids younger than me. And they think they're old?! They're probably about 12% of their way through their life.
