What's The Average Age Of Holla Forums?

I'm turning 23 in a few months and I feel old, comrades.:(

Stop datamining. We also all know that you're either 15 and dumb or 33 and CIA, Afro. Stop posting too while you're at it.

I'm 19 and I feel old.

I'm not sure how to explain it. I think it might have to do with how all the girls my age got fat after highschool.

not even on there. fuck you little shits

24 here.

I realized short while ago that I don't really feel anything in common with the teens these days anymore. They are basically handed a smartphone from day they are born and never went through the watching-newgrounds-stick-animations/playing runescape phase, or playing soccer outside with friends you had to call up using a landline telephone.

One thing that makes me happy though is that most millenials in my generation are generally more aware about the various world issues and quite well informed. I don't know so much about the kids born after 95, lots of alt-right memekids in that demographic.

I was born in 1997 and those people are nerds that no one likes.

So they are they are essentially the Gen Z version of what for millenials was the fedoras/bronies?

fuck I didn't mean to sage

Yeah, basically.

My theory is that alt-right kids are the evolution of fedora-tipping "rational sceptics".

Sometimes, they even overlap.

I am 19.

Honestly, I miss the edge entertainment for younger audiences used to have. Hipster shit like Adventure Time, Peppa Pig, Gravity Falls and Teen Titans Go piss me the fuck off. It's so inoffensive, it's offensive - it treats you like you're two, but is marketed to tweens and teens. It's repulsive how unchallenging and uninspired it is.

I wonder if any boomers have been pushed a little to the left by their kids saying and doing shit like this

I know that feel, bro. Generation Z's the new young generation now with their smartphones, "dabbing" and fidget spinners. 22 is the new 40.

The Generation Z meme kiddies?

I still remember the proto-le rational skeptics of 2012. Back then they called themselves "MRAs" and were limited to the comment sections of MGTOWs like Barbarossaaaa and Stardusk instead of the entire fucking YouTube platform like they are now.

I'm 22 and I seized your mum's means of reproduction, kid. Shut your mouth.

Stop data mining Holla Forums go away

I was born in the early 70's.
That's all you need to know.

Are fidget spinners really that bad, though? I mean, we had finger skateboards, yoyos and troll dolls when I was a kid. Yes, it's fucking stupid, but do kids know that?

Don't feel bad, we had Pet Rocks.
Yes, that was a thing.

Nah, I actually lowkey want one.

Holy shit, a genuine old school revolutionary. First off, how the fuck did you find your way here? Most people your age can barely function on Facebook. Secondly, can you help give these petty bourgious kids a kick in the ass? I want a revolution, preferably before I reach your age.

...

I still do


…..same fuck me damn it damn it damn it but why though, why???

Because of ideology
Only the dead know peace from capitalism

I'm a teacher. and we originally gave them to kids with ADHD as a part of their 504 plan but now they've gotten so out of hand with the general ed students that the school is considering banning them(meaning the kids with ADHD won't be able to use them). Tech decks were a little different

I've been on chans for over a decade now.
I never could get into the bread and circuses that is facebook.
And kicking dumb kids in the ass accomplishes nothing, near as I can tell.
I've basically come to the conclusion that we'll only get a revolution if we start it ourselves.
Waiting around for people to see the obvious (or even pointing it out to them) is not cutting it, what with all the distractions and what not blinding them.
Orwell was wrong, Huxley was right.
I fear for the future, comrade.

I'm an 80s baby

I am so incredibly happy this board is most 18+. Nothing against them, but honestly I was a little afraid that "childish leftists" meme was true.

I'm fifteen
But I'm Norwegian so therefore I am at least more intelligent than most Americans

This girl I'm seeing's little cousin is 10 and also twitter famous a posts videos of him shirtless and in sunglasses and shit, posts youtube videos and his entire school, a primary school, pretty much follows him, just talking about school and stuff.

I think the next generation might go full Khmer Rouge and kill us old technological dinosaurs

We must fear the internet subcultures that are bound to come along with all these kiddos lurking the internet these days.

that's how roasties are though. They literally have nothing after their lives once high school finishes.

I don't think they're fat because they've given up on life, I think they're fat because they can drink as much alcohol as they want whenever they want.

And a lot of them are cool. Still fat tho.

20

Some of them, the ones who go to better schools can be pretty cool.

I don't go to uni so I don't know about there but in my experience the absolute worst ones come from the good high-schools. A lot of them are good, but there's also an extreme concentration of bitches.

I'm 24 and I can't really confirm for my case that most former high school girls are overweight now. Some of them look alright, some have been aging faster, some are qt etc. but it's kinda funny how early some of them want to settle down with a family. I am no fan of slutty girls, but I can't say that girl who settles down right after high school ends is terribly bright. Current economy needs both parents to work and obv. if girl goes through some more community college/college/trades it would be a net benefit for society and future family. Just my humble opinion.

What is more funnier though is that some of the kids I used to go to HS with that were popular kids back then are really low-profile and bottom of the barrel by now, as compared to me, who was unpopular back then but now I am on steady career path (graphic design) and doing fine.

Well they're not really "overweight" per se, rather they were skinny before and now they've very noticeably gotten rounder. I suppose it just sticks out to me because summer has just started so they're all over town back from uni after not seeing anyone but my fellow drop-outs for a year. Anyone I've seen who actually is overweight was already kinda fat beforehand.

If you are old then I'm a dinosaur.

How old are ya, grandpa?

Seconded

iktfb *hugs*

Might be different from where you are, some of them helped me with studying for my psych exam.

Hi john green

Superior european woman starts drinking at 15 and doesn't get fat. I really don't understand the 21 law in the US

I am European, more specifically I am Northern Irish so alcohol age limits are a foreign concept to us.

But there's a difference in caloric intake in whatever you can afford/get away with it at school and the unholy amounts of time and money you have for drink at uni.

right? how is it that people are considered adults for voting purposes at age 18, for tax purposes at 16, to have sex with who they please at 16-18 but but denied the right to consume ethanol until age 21.
land of the free, home of the confused.

you're all kids.

Then why aren't you hitting on us?

So the whole world is moving towards endless sexuality?

Hallelujah, that's all I ever wanted.


Stop being norwegian

Average age is 20-something.

31

Feeling old is a spook comrade, pushed by the capitalist advertising industry that dominates the spectacle. Your life is just starting. Don't let porky drain you of your energy and humanity.

It is rather common for people in 20s to feel this though, because of all the life changes and transition from the absolutely distorted environment of schooling to being thrown to the wolves of the real world. It's not aging most are really afraid of, but the (sub)conscious fear of being a wageslave their entire lives and realizing their youth was a waste spent drinking or being imprisoned in schools learning mostly useless shit.

Shit, if a person went lefty every time someone tells me they're terrified of turning 30, we'd already have world communism. It's a fucking number.

I've known 70 year olds that are livelier and fitter and more lucid than people in their 20s, as well as people that gave up sometime mid life and spend decades just as husks, living corpses just waiting for their retirement so they can despair in the privacy of home. Fuck them.

Look at what age did all the lefty thinkers/leaders did their major works or deeds. Most of them begin around their late 20s and had their most active periods between 30-50…

t. 30

Gotta admit, I'm afraid of turning thirty. Somehow it feels like my life is almost over.

I feel that the people here is too young, but radical stances are more popular between the young, so it only makes sense.

You have to start doing taxes at 16? Wew lad.

i'm not a gay pedo

I think it's the overuse of ukelele in the music these shows tend to have; makes everything so calm it pisses me off.

26 yo libertarian market socialist

>Be me 45yo going on 85 because of fucking MS having to read about 18-29 yo bitch about how old the feel…
you're all like little babbies watch this.png

Isn't weed supposed to be good for that?

I'm 16 and I did all of that.

It is I'm prescribed 5g/ day, which I vape/smoke/eat and RSO drops… I was relatively fortunate that I was diagnosed in the mid-aughts while the legislation here permitted me to grow my own, to then convert to RSO, butter, hash…,and am now grandfathered in vis-a-vis new legislation they're forced to buy from a licenced retailer, which I can't afford with the amounts I consume.

I'm not over 29, but I'm confident there are 30+ year old members of this board.

Are you me?

Just turned 30. Feels bad, man.

[blogpost]
I will turn 25 pretty soon and I don't feel old, but more like I'm wasting my life.
I have been an alcoholic nerd since I've left my mom's house to go to the university, and 50% of my adulthood could be summarized by "I browse imageboards while drinking beer and cheap wine".
I had some great times after I moved to the second biggest city of my country (~1.5 million inhabitants) when I was 21, like having a long-term gf for the first time, going to plenty of concerts and squat parties, and in general meeting plenty of weird ass people like me and who liked me for what I am. I got a degree there but nothing really useful for the job market.
Then I decided to move to a smaller city to study programming and get a nice comfy job but I started to get more and more depressed at the prospect of developing useless Java EE/.NET shit all my life, and finally dropped out of uni and became a NEET.
I have suicide ideation as soon as I wake up almost everyday. I also lost some of my hearing in one ear recently and music is my main passion.
I will blow my savings to travel to Germany, Romania and Italy this summer and I hope I will sorta find a new will to appreciate life there, outside of my uneventful routine. Then I hope I will start doing something useful of my life at some point because chronic idleness is soulcrushing.

There's an option for grandpas in there. Nurse, something.

I'm 31 and I still haven't left image boards, please kill me.

>9 + 14 years old.

Well it wasn't too long ago that the lifespan of an average adult was around 35 years of age.

For me, it's the plots. I really, really fucking wanted to love Gravity Falls. It looked like it was inspired by Twin Peaks, creepypasta and conspiracy theories, and there was a bunch of extra hidden shit in it too.

But nah. It was just another funny ha ha "let's all laugh the scary away because nothing in the woods R E A L L Y wants to hurt you" kids show

>+ 14
Goddamn son get better equipment your THAC0 is through the roof

...

I swear to Christ, if I'm still on the Chans past 29 I'm hanging myself with my bed sheets.

Thanks. I guess it's cuz I'm starting to feel less like a kid and more like an adult now even if I'm still just 22. God, what I wouldn't give to be part of generation Z…

...

but where else will you go to keep up with all the habbenings in real time?

If you're older than 29 you're supposed to call for your nurse, if you're younger than 18 you're supposed to be in school.

...

You don't say.

I'm 22. Stop tryna cheat me outta the last 3 months of youth I still have left before turning 23!

Stop nonsing before I call child line.

Make me, bub. Also 23 is the best number to ever live. Cherish it.

I'M 20-FUCKING-2!!1!

...

Dubs are cool, too.

I wish there was a retirement board, for old fags who cant give it up. I guess I'll be surrounded by youngins forever, as the internet just keeps skewing downward as I rot away.


I wont say I didn't consider it, but my shitposting must live on.

30s isnt as old as you think it is. I remember saying the same thing at your age but really, image boards are the best place to talk people. At least for me. It is a lot better than using trash like twitter or facebook anyways.

31st birthday for me next month.

I'm 27. I'm enjoying my time before the 30s rape me.

Present thy ass

Also 27. Also feeling way too god damned old to not have my shit together.

28
Imstillavirginpleasekillme

People born in 1990 were considered part of the young ones a few years back. What the fuck happened!?

You've gotta be joking.

yes
no

They're both right.

im 23. i left the chans in 2012 when Holla Forums turned to complete trash and came back because leftypol is one of the best places to talk about leftist shit on the web. this is the only board i regularly browse after i found it early last year.

I'm 30. You're still young, OP.

Why wait? You'd be doing us a favor!
