I just read a sentence that referred to “the decades since” 2005 and I feel personally attacked.

@overholt

you're not alone john, you're not alone

we are old

"born in the 1900s" is apparently ancient now. this poor dad just driving his kids to school gets absolutely roasted for it:

@TheBreadmonkey @overholt

soon ben soon! we are close! 😅

@benroyce @TheBreadmonkey @overholt My daughter once asked if I’d ever known “a hippy”, and I didn’t even know where to begin. 🤣. I showed her pictures of her grandparents and me in our 70s gear. She laughed. A lot. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥳

@MissConstrue @TheBreadmonkey @overholt

i remember walking by two older ladies once and i was wearing a woodstock t shirt and they asked if i was there. i said "no, but i might have been conceived there" 🤣 🤣 🤣

@benroyce @MissConstrue @TheBreadmonkey @overholt Student doing a internship in the company I was.
We: talking about driving. I remembered when I just had my first car to hit the mirror of a parking car, and searching the next hour for a functioning phone box to report to the police.
Him "oh you forgot your mobile phone"
Me: There was not a thing as mobile phones then.
Him "Come on, you are not THAT old"

@Bugspriet @MissConstrue @TheBreadmonkey @overholt

😂

painful

"the era before smartphones"

like

"the era before penicillin"

uggh. we're old

@benroyce Even before mobiles - the C net was just invented then and required a suitcase size installation and cost some tenthousand Euros @MissConstrue @TheBreadmonkey @overholt

@Bugspriet

Yeah. I can so relate to this man.

When I told my kids, we had no mobile phones when I was their age, they started to wonder whether we had cars or TVs.

Fortunately for them, they did not ask for dinosaurs.

i was in my yard smelting iron in my furnace after having just learned it is stronger than bronze, when the smartphone dropped 😆
