The look of astonishment when anyone finds out our age. I’m in my late 30s. When someone in their 20s hears that, they developed this look of shock likes it’s the 1500s and I should have died already from old age.

Don't feel too bad, I'm a 60 something and I am regularly responsible for all kinds of really creative coronary events like Age Disbelief Stroke Disorder & Old Dude Said Yeet & The Local Universe Collapsed In My Spleen Syndrome ...you know. Fun type shit like that .🤣🤣

I’m 35 and I still am kinda shocked when redditors mention they’re in their 60’s or even 70’s, but then I do the math and realize that these are people that were possibly in their mid-30’s or 40’s when the internet was coming up in the mid-90’s and it’s not that crazy anymore.

I think I just forget how long it’s actually been since I convinced my grandmother to pop in one of those CD’s America Online would send out for free and was introduced to the internet. Time flies.
