People born in 1998 are adults now

>people born in 1998 are adults now
what the actual fuck

Yes. Time is linear and the expression "Life is too short" has a serious meaning to it. Time doesn't just stop. Thanks for realizing that, Einstein. Holy shit.

Well, if we ARE talking about Einstein and time, depending on your speed, time isn't exactly constant...

yeah it's crazy, adulthood makes me want to kms

yeah I know. Im 33

The people born in 1998 are going to think the same thing when the kids of 2008 are adults. Everyone thinks that way.

>I was born in 1988
>Someone says '10 years ago...'
>I automatically think about 1996, not 2006

I feel old, but my childhood was awesome, my teenage years were awesome, I wouldn't change anything.

Depends on your definition of adult. I think people reach maturity mile stones at 8, 16, and 24

>Before 8, most people's personalities are still in flux and they're complete retards with no concept of the world outside of themselves. After 8 they have defined social roles ("cool kid" vs "nerd" vs "cute girl") and they start paying attention in class, learning, and recognizing that there's a world outside of themselves

>Before 16, most people are overly critical, infinitely curious, and driven only by intrigue and interest. They seek out and accept boundaries when found. After 16 they start acting more on emotion, want to pretend they're important, they're driven by hormones, and they start rebelling against authority

>Before 24, most people are free-spirited, want to explore all possible experiences, sexually uninhibited, they lack interest in providing to society, and they feel like partying is more important then paying attention in class or preparing for a real job. After 24 people realize that life is a bitch and they settle down, get a job, and start taking care of responsibilities

I don't think anyone 18 is "an adult". They're just over-sized children who finally got out of their parents house to start living in a $40,000 a year daycare that we call "college"

And what instances is time not constant? Then again, time is a human construct.

Lol time is quantifiable and affected by gravity, dumbass. Read a book

>18 years old
>adult
not anymore my friend. wait until they find out safe spaces don't exist in the real world

Dude, I'm gonna be 31 in 4 months and I'm gonna tell you this: time moves faster when you're older, and it's fucking terrifying. It happens out of nowhere too. Maybe its because I work full time and have 2 kids, but it didn't feel like this 3 years ago.

Jesus Christ I'm 2 fuckin 5

where did the time go

I was 20 sooo not long ago

Ok.

Fact. 36 year old here on his deck, off his house where his wife and two kids are playing. Last I knew I was in high school banging there mom.

Well, I don't really know fully what I'm talking about, but I believe the speed of light is constant and unreachable, and that time slows down as you approach that speed, to the point where if you were to reach the speed of light, time would stop. It's theoretically impossible.

If you asked me why, I wouldn't know.

I'm you at 38.
It gets even worse.

I didn't even get a safe space growing up. I learned at an early age not to he a fucker because my old man would violate my "safe space" and still whip my ass. I hate this generation

How do you deal with failed dreams as you get older?>???????????????????

You're mostly right, but matter can not reach that speed, so it's not really worth discussing.

Yeah lads I just turned 18. Really wasnt hyped about it at all, feel like my teenage years haven't been as cool as I expected and my best days might already be behind me

>How do you deal with failed dreams as you get older?
Create new ones using your current situation.

iktfb

>Move into house when I was 15
>Little kid who's like 5 or 6 lives next door
>Cool little guy
>Moves away
>Someone mentions him just yesterday
>"Yeah he's in the army now"

People born in 2000 are operating motor vehicles.

Let that sink in.

And now you get to go to work. I went to working an 84 hour work week 2 months after high school

It's bad because at 31, I'm already freaking out about being old.

You know that feeling when you're on your last day of vacation, and you're just sitting there dreading the end instead of making the best of it? I'm fucking scared that's how I'm gonna feel when I'm old. Just waiting. And I never worried about that shit till my 93 year old grandfather died and found his personal notes about how he's just been waiting for 10 years plus after my grandmother died. That fucked me up a bit.

Dude trust me I felt that too but you don't appreciate these years 18-23 till you're way old like me (25) and it sucks I feel like you feel now but I loved the age you're at now. Don't squander it. Go to school, get laid, work towards your dreams.

>People born in 2000 started nursery the same year you left school
>They left school themselves this year

Holy shit.

I'm 25 and I'm freaking out

Fuck off hipster

it only gets worse
i'm 30 having my midlife crisis a little early

its even crazier when you realize god is probably not real and you're end is just nonexistance

>Girls born in 2000 will be doing porn in 2 years

that's almost more comforting than the idea of jesus watching you masturbate for eternity

>tfw 25

I am still a loser who works a dead end job and has no plans for the future. I will not be able to retire. Please kill me.

...

Born april 1998 here ama

It's clear you have no idea what a hipster is.

It's trippy to think about how this next generation could potentially have no idea about people like Robin Williams and Kobe Bryant

Oldfag reporting in...turning 47 this year.

Live it up while you can b/ros. It goes downhill after 40...at around 45 your physical body reminds you everyday that you aint' a kid anymore.

Aw sorry user, whats the story behind still being on Cred Forums at 47?

just wait next year it will be 1999, dipshit.

I'm not an adult for my country, fucking liar.

underage confirmed

>47

Fuck, m8, you're almost as old as my father.

My life is bleak. I don't dislike it necessarily, but I am wasting it. I don't do much. I don't really enjoy much, especially the typical "fun" things. I feel I am going to regret most of my life past my teenage years. I am going to be like my parents, minus the lifelong partying. Poorfag with nothing to show except being an okay guy. I really do not "live it up".

>I am wasting my life

Anything you wish you would have known in your mid 20s?

Overall, I have to agree with this. Maybe not some specifics, but the idea is pretty solid.

Old School Lurker, been lurking pretty much since the internet became available. Pic related...my first internet service..it was a dial up.

>tfw there's a fine line between "life's short, cherish it" and "life's short, what's the point"

>Time if affected by gravity
wat

It don't surprise me somebody ugly as you ain't got no snickles to give to the kids

Tons! God, I wish I had a 47 year old mind and 27 year old body.

You've never taken a physics class, have you?

Truth.

I have often felt more the latter. I look around me and I see the waste of time that most people make of their life. And it just seemed stupid. Whether you rock or you suck, you live and do stuff and then die, so why put the effort in?

But as I grow older, I wish more and more than I didn't waste time and would not undo things I've done, but if I could go back I would do more and put myself in a better position.

you dont learn that in physics, you probably would in advanced physics or space class

Right there with you bro.
>10 years ago
>I'm 13
>mom baby sits annoying cunt 9 year old for a friend of hers
>loud, obnoxious, annoying brat i almost wish would die
>Fast forward to now
>Shopping for shoes at the mall
>fine ass 9/10 walks up to me looks familiar but cant pinpoint
>"hey user remember me?"
>no sorry you look familiar though
>"your mom used to baby sit me when i was 9"
>oh you're femanon

mfw shes a fucking 19 year old hottie now. We hang out every now and thwn. Would go for it but got a gf.

i would yell at your for "space class" but trips telling me no

What sad times these are indeed.

wew lad time flies

Just wait til later, it gets worse

>got a gf

I learned that in physics in high school. I guess I tend to forget that for much of the country, high school physics is too advanced.
Also nice trips.

I don't feel like an adult (1997)

because you aren't
I am 24 and I am not an adult. I don't consider anyone younger than me to be an adult

"Adults"

Jesus Christ what am I doing with my life...?

I should smoke a blunt and forget about this thread.

that was obvious early on

No they didnt
If thats how short amerifag education is you need help

Thanks user

Depends on your teacher. My AP phys C teacher dis cussed it

who can retire these days??

>there are "people" born after 1995 on this site posting what they consider valid opinions

my back hurts from sitting too much at 25

>time is a human construct.
no, its concept that we have given a name to, simple as that, no need to try and look more intelligent by shooting some random philosophical bullshit you heard from your 2nd grade teacher

Then lower your standards. My gf isn't the hottest girl in the world but she's cool as fuck and a solid 7/10. No where near as good looking as the femanon in my grrentext but here being super chill and fun to hang with balances it out.

That's because we baby people for far too long. For the majority of human existence, people were raising families at 15 or earlier. Now we just hide everyone in safe spaces until they finally get dropped into the real world in their mid 20s, and have no idea what to do.

Shit my car's older than that

pics user?

I don't know. Certainly not I.

"Life is too short"

I've always hated this expression. To a human being, a lifetime is equivalent to an infinite amount of time because a human being can only observe a lifetime's worth of time. "Life is too short" doesn't make sense because life is the longest thing you'll ever have.

what's the deal? I was born in1999 so what?

Damn I still remember using the Internet for the first time that year.

How fast time flies.

Whatever you're doing you're wasting your life if you didn't notice 5 years go by.

My standards aren't super high, but that's not even a big issue in my case. First and foremost, I have almost no social life outside some good friends from work. So I rarely have any chances to meet anyone. Also, I seem to give off the message I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND. I don't mean to, but I do. I have zero ability to show real interest in a girl. It's a lost cause. I will live out my romantic fantasies through movies and books.

time isn't linear

damm kiddo how is school?

People too young to remember 9/11 are old enough to vote now.

The speed of light isn't always constant as it slows down in air, water, and glass

Well considering you were born in 1999 I guess I can say MODS!

...

pretty boring, how's your sex life?

Life is life I guess, life is as long as a lifetime.
But it certainly feels longer when you are young and bored, and have to basically entertain yourself all day. Then it feels shorter when you are older and have responsibilities, a job, chores, and you look back and realize how little you've really accomplished in your life (even if you're a very successful person, in the scope of the universe you are quite small and can still feel this way). Based on that trajectory and the time you have left, you can estimate what you will do in your whole existence. So for an adult life seems very short.

im gay, so. pretty exciting

hahaha what a faggot

People who base their lives around the belief in an invisible man in the sky have been able to vote for as long as voting has existed. That's far more frightening.

same

Wtf. Fuck that guy in the pic. I hope he gets aids

bet you have a small cock faggot

>born in 1998
>adults

No, they're still teenagers who can buy their own smokes now.

...

don't have one tbh fam

Did someone censor her tits?

>who can buy their own smokes now

Ha! Not here in NJ. We've got a 19 tobacco age.

>this state is so fucking retarded

...

...

what a metal picture

Try being 40... i can remember when people who were 40 couldn't be expected to program a fucking VCR.

Now a computer that I'm expected to know inside and out handles the personal fortunes of thousands of people....

Bitch literally had to push the fat off his dick groupies will literally do anything

>being so stupid you assume it's someone else being stupid and not knowing that their educational system is longer

How does it feel to slowly get out if touch with younger people I'm 23 and I can't even keep up with kids today

That's debatable.

Well yeah. 1990 was ten years ago. Duh.

Why would you want to be in touch with kids today? It's all Justin Beiber and Twilight and shit.

Anybody else remember when Heaven666 turned SJW?

Not even, it's all about memes and trump

kids didnt look like this in the 90s

its all memes

Those suck too. My point still stands.

this, but with a grain of salt
we're all idiots and it's fine

The brain isn't fully developed until 25 really. Legally adults but not quite fully developed.

Twilight and bieber were 10 years ago...

Guess so. I wouldn't know. I'm not in touch with kids these days.

Ex-fuckin-scuse me?are you telling me time constantly fluctuates cause if you are my boy you are retarded

>what the actual fuck
back to tumblr

u fuck any guys yet?

They just get more retarded with every generation.

true

im a girl fuck off

There used to be a candy bar that looked like that
What was it called?

...

snickers

...

I'm not gay, it's okay if you are

Sex is overratde

And their age somehow devalues their opinion? Close minded fool shut the fuck up.
