Redditors discuss stressors and choices that instantly age people

So many people are weird about age. We've got 20-year-olds telling 25-year-olds that they “look good for their age.” Middle-aged people are catastrophizing about young people killing various industries. Twenty-somethings claim that a 26-year-old dating a 38-year-old is a predatory age gap. If you're spending too much time online, it might seem like nobody knows how to be normal about age. Luckily, the internet is not the real world. In the real world, it is not looked negatively upon to have me…

We've got such geriatric vibes right now

Jennifer Garner lied to us! When you turn 30, you will no longer be flirty OR thriving

This man is a legend

I love old people . They get to chill all day long, living their lives freely, and don't give a hoot about anything. Old people will spend all day watching What Would You Do with John Quiñones and feel no shame. I don't know if my silly young self could do the same. There are a lot of downsides to being old. You're much more physically limited than when you were younger and start to forget things you used to remember. It's really not a great time in your life, but all you can do is make the bes…

Aliens can probably hear my back cracking from outer space

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare.

Memes do not age like fine wine. They age like a comedy from the mid-90s. If you've got a good enough eye, you can tell exactly when a meme was made and when it was popular online. When we consume memes, we've got the hivemind mentality where some memes are in style, and some memes are oh-so out. Let's take image macros, for example. For several years in the early 2010s, that was the only way a meme could be. Memes had to have bold white top text and bottom text, or else they were nothing more…

It's easy to believe that memes are a novel invention of the 21st century. After all, we're so evolved and living in the future; it's no wonder we pioneered this compelling new art form. Unfortunately, we did not invent memes. Not even close. If you look into any newspaper or humor magazine from the early 20th century, you will see cartoons, illustrations, and jokes utilizing the exact same format memes on Memebase use today. Modern people are not as creative as we thought, and everything we've…

We criticize baby boomers a lot here at Memebase, and deservedly so! They've been acting foolish since they were teenagers, and even though it pains us, today, we're here to show boomers some love. If there's one thing baby boomers love to do, it's being active on Facebook. Most boomers do not get social media, and they probably never will. If there's one arena of the online world they thrive in, it's Facebook dot com . There, baby boomers can connect with friends from high school, sell their p…

“I’m a 35 year old with the mindset of a 7 year old, knees of a 65 year old, and bedtime of a 98 year old. I'll be taking no questions at this time”

We are not on the same internet that we were on in 2012. In just ten short years, the world of memes has exploded to become so much bigger than we ever thought it could be. New memes and trends are created daily, and unless you're a certified meme professional, it's challenging to keep up. Who else remembers when only a couple of memes absolutely dominated the meme landscape ? Back when I was a tween, rage comics were everywhere. There was a rage comic for every emotional expression under the s…

If memes are anything, they're ever present. We tend to think of memes as a newfangled 21st century invention, but that is simply not the case. Look at any newspaper or magazine from the 20th century, and you'll see some marvelous memes in unexpected places. In college, I visited my schools archives with the University humor magazine. The publication had been in print since 1911, so when we were able to look through old copies of the magazine, we were surprised to find how much meme formats of…
