I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (lemmy.world)

As is tradition.

Your boomer parents? You're 40 something?

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 54 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That would be my age.

An old person? On my Lemmy? Gasp

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

On lemmy? A platform made by those who miss the "good old days" when reddit was good? Full of old people? Impossible.

How excited will you be when you reach the "nice" age?

[-] HaywardT@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

I'm already nice.

[-] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

So you're 69 in spirit! Nice!

Seriously, people past the age of 30 should not be on the internet. They should be on the golf course or playing shuffleboard or rotting away on a retirement ocean cruiseline somewhere.

As an elder 40-something, I agree with you. Problem is, the economy doesn’t. I’ll be working until I die. In the meantime, I need the memes to help keep me numb to all the shit going in around me. Please don’t take those away from me. It’s all I have anymore.

😭😭😭

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I do enjoy a round of golf. And have you ever played shuffleboard? It's quite fun, especially on a cruise.

Shit.

A lot of us are, yeah. Even with young whippersnappers like yourself fizzing around on your electrified skateboards and what have you, I'm pretty sure the average age here on Lemmy is closer to 40 than 30 🤷

[-] kozy138@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I'm 30 and I literally have 2 electric skateboards lol

[-] Baku@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Sounds about right to me
