Stop having birthdays people
Click to expand...

Nah, people stopped putting candles on my cake, and maybe they forgot my birthday for a year or two, and it turned out I thought I was a few years younger, I freaked out when I found out I was several years older than I thought last year.


My birthdays are never well attended so when they happen at all they are usually occasions I want to forget. I'm with you in spirit that I'm not a huge fan of birthday parties, but you could legit not know how old you are if you don't do stuff like this. You wake up one day and you'll be like "I'm 40, when did that happen? I thought I was like 35 at the most."

40?? Holy fuck you are old and should feel embarrassed by it. Just gross. Don't even post on the internet anymore. Go rub some creams on your skin and take Metamucil and tell everyone about the one time each week when you have a healthy "BM." 40?!? OMG man just nasty.

I'm not too far behind and that number that's approaching is scaring me.

You’re probably not even halfway through yet.

Realistically, he's halfway through. Most people seem to live well until they hit 80 and then it's dicey from that point, you could either die anytime you fart or get dementia which is IMO worse than dying. However, he's about 1/3 of the way of the actual meaningful life. Up until your 20, that's just the formative years so life absolutely doesn't mean dick until you're 21. So going by that logic, he just finished the first chunk and he gets to enjoy 2 decades of peaking. Then it's a bit downhill from there, but with modern medicine you even enjoy another 20 cool years of boners.

Mathematically OP you're 1/3 there and even then we live in a projection so why worry about that.

Grats. I turn 39 on monday. Hope you have a great day. Think of all you have learned in 40 years of life. Keep kicking ass or start kicking ass if you haven’t already!

I turned 40 last month. It was as depressing as when I turned 39.
So far just some back pain on my left side if I push myself physically too hard. I guess it could be worse...

Gonna turn 38 next Thursday.

I snore like hell, probably worse than my dad, which is some heavy shit people have to listen to.
Had a hip problem last year. Was nearly impossible to climb up stairs. Thought I'd need some cortisone shots to fix the thing but after a month or two or three suffering from that it eventually went away.

I remember when I was 40 and life was care free and fancy. Now that I am 42 with two kids under 14 months It is no longer care free and less than fancy

Life comes at you fast....

Turned 40 in May and did the exact same as Prison Mike Prison Mike above.

One of the hidden bright sides that the pandemic has highlighted is beer distro is MUCH better than it used to be.

Stuff that used to get the beer nerds all in a tizzy are far more available than ever before.

I will be in the year 2033.

I'm not as much afraid as getting old but what kind of financial/employment situations will exist in the future.

Here's how I knew I was getting old...

Used to stay up till 6am easy in my 20s, usually up by noon when I had to be.

Up till my mid 30s, used to go clubbin and to bars till closing time at 2am no problem.

Look at clock nowadays at 11:30pm and tell myself, it's getting late, time for bed soon

Happy Birthday!

47 here - exercise, eat healthy but don’t deprive yourself. Don’t sweat the small stuff. In fact, don’t sweat anything. Life is short. Enjoy all you can.
