Read the text 3 times before spotted the 36 on the pic. Where is the useless red circle when you have a brain fart?

[–] small_crow@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago

I came to the comments for an explanation because I completely missed the age labels, so thank you.

When it's concerning a brain fart, should it instead be a nice green cloud-shaped outline around the relevant part?

xkcd readers remembering 8 billion comic id numbers:

You act like they have to pull it up with a number ID and don't already have every xkcd alphabetically, pneumonically and categorically sorted in their bookmarks.

Homeboy is HAGGARD for 36! That man is at least 65.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's a 36 year old as seen by an 8 year old, which appears to be, as I suspected, the age of wikihow authors.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

LOL. Yeah. That dude in the picture took her age, added 7 years, doubled that and then lied about his own age.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Idk I'm 36 and this checks out

That’s a ridden hard and put away wet 36.

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is a "meth as a career" 36.

[–] Philolurker@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

[–] voidhearts@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is the second time this week I’ve ever heard this phrase in my entire life. I feel like I know what it means but I’m afraid to ask

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a horse riding addage, a horse ridden hard gets dirty and messy, put away wet means it doesn't get cleaned. Basically a dirty worn old looking horse.

[–] voidhearts@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ohhhh. Oh. That was not what I was thinking at all. Lmao

[–] Butters@lemmywinks.com 10 points 2 years ago

I think you and I are thinking the same thing. Guess we don’t ride horses.

[–] CIWS-30@kbin.social 52 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Good advice from 1901. Especially the bit about not marrying women older, taller, or wealthier than you. Especially all 3. Even if she's like 1 day older, 1 inch taller, or $1 wealthier than you. You gotta man up and not tie that knot!

/S

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Thank god for that "/S"

These were originally labeled "56" and "17" because a Libertarian made the image.

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

42-year-old, here. Late-20s-hotties, give me a ring.

Whaddya mean, "what does ring mean?"

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They will not say “what does ring mean?” They’ll look you in the eye and shout “I don’t understand your dated cultural references old man!!”

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago

"you know, dial me up..."

"...dial?"

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If both parties are 18 and above, it is none of our business. Many men are into cougars and many women like sugar daddies. Whatever floats their boat.

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Legally, yes. You can't and shouldn't prevent them from dating.

But, it's still creepy, it's usually still predatory, and there can be a huge power imbalance. Basically, the main thing is whether either person can easily leave at any time - often the younger one can't.

[–] corm@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

How is that any different than 18 year olds getting an apartment together and being too broke to easily move out if needed? And there are plenty of older people in the same boat financially. In fact most people live paycheck to paycheck.

I guess what you really mean is that poor people should only date other poor people, to make it a fair power balance. /s

[–] LonelyWendigo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I don't know man. If at 50 I ran into a 20 something that was into dating me, I'd feel more like prey than a predator. But, who am I kidding? If the roles were reversed and I was a 20 something encountering a 50+ cougar, I'd still feel like prey. It's definitely all about power dynamics, but I don't think making assumptions about adult people's situations based on age alone is appropriate or helpful.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (14 children)

And if you're 18, you can only date someone who is exactly 18. Can't go any lower or any higher.

Idk who told this to me, but what a weird contradiction. I guess it sorta makes sense.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:

y = 1/2 x + 7

then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.

At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.

Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you'd be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.

I believe now if you are 18 you need to consult with a lawyer before dating.

With how stressful things have been lately? I might just look like that in just under a decade...

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

maybe 1987 was a weak batch or something, and they're aging prematurely.. i don't have any data to support that..

[–] Yendor@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They started high-school just after Columbine, they were trying to get through high-school when 9/11 happened, they were trying to start their careers when the GFC came along, and they were trying to get married when COVID hit. Late-80s babies can’t catch a break.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

no i agree 100%, i feel for them.. i honestly can't tell you how sick i am about it.. Columbine was enough..

Makes you wonder whether there is a dating rule "based on science".
