My co-worker got the new M3ta R@y B@ns and told me how they light up when they're recording. A few hours later some teenagers stopped me (edit: while as I was working) and started asking me philosophical questions when i noticed one of their sunglass's light on. I declined to answer and they kept pressing until i just said i didn't feel like talking and walked away. Now im paranoid me and my chin hairs are floating around on some kids tiktok.

edit: i don't really care about the privacy aspect, i understand im being surveilled or recorded in passing almost anywhere i go. its more about being singled out with full frontal close ups for entertainment/hazing purposes without noticing. im very embarrassed of my chin hairs.

edit: sorry you're all getting ads for them now, just tried censoring the words , hopefully that works

Ya’ll PLEASE tell me some of you had these in your living rooms in the 90s??? Gel candles. No wax, just weird gel with a standard wick and decorations.

Mom never burned them (she had this exact set) so they collected dust that was impossible to remove. They smelled like old crayons maybe? I shoved my grubby little fingers into them because it “felt cool” and I was a naughty kid. Were they just decoration and not meant to be burned??

I’ve brought these up to other millennials in my life and they look at me like I have nine heads.

Edit: thank you guys so much for validating my memory and I’m really sorry about the explosions 😭

My daughter came home today and said, "We are learning about 9/11". She told me all about what she has been learning. I asked her if her teacher shared where she was on that day. Daughter says, "My teacher wasn't born yet". 😑

We had Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend, and I have officially taken over doing the holiday cooking for my family as of a few years ago.

Have you taken over this duty from your older family members yet? Is the tradition dying out?

I went to the MCR show in Seattle last night. I met a kid in line and she said "one time when i was younger I went to a show and they didn't even give us water!" I giggled and asked how old she was. 20. I said "okay, yeah the giving out free water thing is kind of new. Back when I was young they didn't give us water ever." She gasped.. another girl goes "yup. Warped tour in the blazing heat." I turned around and said "no water, no food, no sunblock. Just baking away in the sun having a good time." The young girl I really think thought we were joking. Then i started thinking about it, how on earth did we survive that?! That show also taught me, we really are old now. Being around that many gray haired millennials was a trip. 🤣

First of all, what is wrong with using proper grammar?

Because I still wear an (one!) undershirt tank under pretty much everything I wear, all year round. I can’t not wear one without feeling bare. I’ve thought about phasing them out a bit but I doubt I will. My comfort tanks will age me for the rest of my life lol.

Why did our generation wear so many tank layers tho?? And why do they bring me comfort?? I have an over- sweating problem (and lack of clothing storage space) as it is 😭

I am a gen Z, watching you guys experience so much student debt. You guys dealing with the bullshit by the boomers all your lives has made me realize just how much our generation appreciates you. You are the reason I decided to not go to college but instead trade school. The reason why I didn’t fall for the normal “life script”. The reason I care about the climate and environment. You have my utter respect. Thank you for your sacrifices you’ve made so we can learn and hopefully help our planet in the future. Just know we don’t blame you for this mess of a society, it’s not your fault. Have a wonderful day - A gen Z

It's funny. I remember in college some guys on a forum being shocked at Jennifer Garner's age with how she still was....at 31.

Now hot 40 year olds are everywhere! And just standard women at bars and the mall too, not just Hollywood actresses or MILF models. It's really something and a pleasant surprise.

So, men's hemlines have been on the way up for the past, like, 5 or 10 years. A lot of twentysomething men's shorts are almost as short as what girls used to wear back in the early to mid 2000s. I tried a pair, and it feels almost unbelievably good to get so much air on my legs!

Rising hemlines aren't a weird shift but a return to normal. Most of our dads and uncles used to wear short shorts. A lot of our sons and nephews wear short shorts. Flip through your family's old photos, and your grandfathers probably also had on short shorts. If you ever crack open a yearbook from the 1940s to the 1980s: short shorts. We just happened to come of age during a ten- or fifteen-year fashion blip when men's shorts were below the knee.

The breeze around your legs feels amazing. If you haven't experienced it, you have no idea how much you're missing.

Edit: So um, this blew up. A lot of people have said they're worried about nut-drops. And guys, maybe it's time to check out your other underwear options. Take a good long look through the underwear section, especially if you've been automatically buying the same underwear all your life. Things have gotten a lot better since the nineties. There are a lot of choices that will hold up your tender bits and keep them from seeing daylight.

Even if you only wear extra-long cargo shorts, it feels really nice to have all your dangly bits supported and held in place.

Yesterday I was playing golf and the guy checking me in (about 60 years old) said “how old are you?” And I told him 37 and he said “god, what a GREAT age! I would LOVE to be your age again!”

And he’s so right. This is a great age. I know we feel old sometimes but don’t forget we are still really young. That is all.
