Most of the people on the entirety of lemmy and mastodon won't get this one
I beg to differ. I'm an elder millennial and as far as I can tell, most people here are my age or older.
Same + agree
Get off my lawn
Even more proof of being old now that younger folks can't afford houses!
Same, I keep seeing people acting like Lemmy is full of young people, but I see a ton of people referencing stuff in our age range and older.
I saw a poll for age a while back on Mastodon and most respondents were in their 30s or 40s
Kills me inside when I see youtuber/celebrity communities
I've felt like an odd one out here for a while. Took a bit to realize I'm probably thrice as old as any average user here.
I feel like maybe I should be nicer to the literal children who try to debate with me their asinine, juvenile takes, but also... I think getting slapped around a little in your safe-space is healthy at times.
This explains so much, as someone in the upper age brackets; youngsters baying for a learning opportunity while cutting themselves on their edge.
Maybe I should be more forgiving.
Meh, fuck that. Welcome them to the internet and smack them down. They gotta learn. Embrace your inner Aslan.

Sure, you can be more forgiving. But slap them around anyway!

one of my cats has a safe space he retreats to, sometimes I try to pet him when he's in there and he hisses at me
I think the average user age here is probably 25 to 30, are you 75 to 90 years old?
