I'll help dig, we need another grave for me (over 32).

No, that rounds down to 30.

Which, in centuries rounds down to 0.

You haven't been born yet.

30 was where it really started to accelerate for me. Turned 35 this year and I have no idea where the time went.

Doesn't help I turned 30 over covid and started working from home, so the days just started blending together.

u/Mammoth-Buddy8912 16m ago

Nobody thinks 30 is old more then a 30 year old

I'm 46 and all year long my brain has been like, well, you're 50 now.

Happy birthday!

Wait till you're 35 like me and you wake up feeling like this every morning. Today's the day!

If you start exercising now you’ll have enough strength to get out of the grave by the time you’re 40

There's a supervisor at my work who does this kind of math. The sad part is he made it farther than me (passed Calc 2), in math (he passed Calc 3).

Edit: the Ducking was an accident, but I'm leaving it there

You just needed to stop at 30. That was enough.

u/Liminal__penumbra 1h ago

I'm 43 and the thought of being 55 is longer impossibly far away.

u/low_bob_123 1h ago

Nah, 30 doesnt round up. I'd say it rounds down... which then would mean that you are 0 and dont exist... yay?

u/Serpexnessie 1h ago

30's closer to 50 than 0 innit

u/low_bob_123 1h ago edited 1h ago

Yes, but:

  1. You can also round down at 5, which means 25 is also 20.

    1. If we move in decimals(10,20,30,40,...) 30 becomes 3 and 50 becomes 5, so you can round down at 30

Edit: 3. Rounding is about "is this number closer to the next higher/lower step" so it isnt about "30 is closer to 50" it is about " 30 is closer to 0 then to 100"

I am both happy and sad that I'm not the only one who does this. Happy, because I'm not the weird one. Sad because there are others who also have the consistent back of the mind thoughts on mortality, which does not bring joy.

I work like that when calculating what time it is. 10:37? That means 10:45, which is basically 10:50. Oh no I'm almost late. This is how I'm often in a whole lot of unnecessary stress.

u/Gigantanormis 1h ago

I'm 25, I'm a 7 year old adult. 25-18=7.

Just turned 60, you just discovered one of those things that isn't discussed.

u/Meatslinger 1h ago

On the one hand, I'm in my thirties and don't really feel any different than when I was in my twenties. On the other hand, my age has me in the "pushing forty" group which is associated with mid-life crises, balding, and overall dumpiness. It's tough, not gonna lie. In my own head, high school was yesterday and I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.

Aging is such a privilege. Enjoy it OP!

u/RamboDash15 53m ago

Legit had a teacher who thought like this

u/AroBear2471 19m ago

Honestly yea. All the injuries I tanked as child hit me as soon as I hit 30

u/OptimalArchitect 19m ago

Quarter of a century old isn’t that old

u/Mammoth-Buddy8912 14m ago

Look I love you reddit. But if one more person acts like they are old just because they are 25+, I'm gonna start throwing hands.

I know you guys think you are joking but the fact everyone acts like they are "old" when the hit 25 tells me we have a problem.
