And now I have even less doubt that I am the oldest person on this forum.

I just realized we are six years away from an Austin Powers reboot that spoofs the Brosnan/Cruise/Damon era of Spy movies being transplanted into the modern age.
William Shatner was born ninety years ago today.

Apple Music is trying to tell me that New Year by Death Cab for Cutie is dad rock, and I feel like that term has lost all meaning. I’m not even sure that song is out of consideration of being incel rock, let alone in consideration for dad rock.
I guess either way it’s old now...

Bro they're 24 years old now! Holy shit. All my friends who liked them as teenagers are dads now. Math checks out. We're old now.

I wore a Death Cab for Cutie shirt from the Plans album tour to physical therapy a couple weeks ago. The assistant saw it, and said "oh wow, I haven't thought about that album since I was in elementary school!" and in my head I went "oh dammit I bought this album in grad school because it looked like a gel electrophoresis result and I was running them constantly"."Death Cab for Cutie is an American alternative rock band, formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997"

I was at the pharmacy yesterday waiting to speak to the pharmacist, and two people went up the counter while I was waiting and had to give their birthdays. The first was a woman that I'd mentally binned as my age. She was 11 years younger. The next was a woman that I'd mentally binned as a generation older than me. She was one year older.
I find that ages between about 25 and 55 are really hard to judge by sight. People just don't all age at the same rates, due to genetics, sun exposure, or whatever else (and I think a generation+ of having "teens" played by mid-20s actors, and the shift from so many people smoking to so many people not, has also made it harder to establish a baseline; what people looked like at 50 in the '70s or '80s is often not what they look like now).
Yep. I have a cousin who's two months younger than me and looks about a decade older.
Last weekend I bought a ran into the store for a six pack of beer and some snacks to take to a outdoor get together and when the clerk asked for my ID I was absolutely giddy about it.
And Chrono Trigger DS is as old now as the SNES release was when the DS version came out.
That’s it, please drag me to the nerd graveyard where the bones of my ancestors lie, I want to crumble into dust in peace.
Conversely, we’re closer to the actual events of Space War than Space War was.
We're closer in time to the events of Macross Frontier, than we are to when Macross first aired on TV.
Wait. That can't be right. That would mean that I'm ...
