The age spike at 69 is 🤌
I didn’t notice!!! Hahahahh
Celebrating retirement?
Nope.
Nice
As a 52 year old that has been skateboarding since the 1970’s I take great offense with anyone that tries to gatekeep skateboarding. Skateboards are always cool.
Stop complaining… Oh wait
I think it’s all about perspective. Say the Patty Cake one. A 30 year old doesn’t seem “cool” doing it according to the chart. But a 30 year old who sits down with a 5 year old and does it… That kid thinks they are pretty cool.
I debate every week learning to skate at 45
do it
I feel there is a big difference between being able to skate at 45 and learning to skate at 45.
I used to skate as a kid, but I never once managed to pop an ollie.
That’s what killed my skating dreams. I watched buddy after buddy popping Ollie’s first day while I spent 2 days that seemed like an eternity barely trying and never once being able to do it
Tony??
I actually had a picture with Tony Hawk from when I was ~11. I ran across him at the airport and I made my mom take.our picture.
Would probably have made for a better picture if you stopped running and stood still next to him, though…
He was super nice actually. He must have been 15 himself.
Jealous! From what I’ve heard about him, he seems super nice, humble, and genuine. I recently listened to his interview on Smartless.
Are you J. Mascis?
Unexpected dinosaur jr
I’ve been skating since 1986. The first time someone asked me if I was too old for it was in 1987. That question is really only in the eye of the beholder.
Being at the bottom of the half pipe isn’t cool though.
I was wondering why there was a spike at 70 but then i realized
Nice.
Oooh I didn’t get it
Nice
Nice
If a 100 yo is still living alone he is metal as fuck. If a 100yo is breathing he is already cool, anything they do is already a win
Henry Kissinger…
There’s nothing cool about having to live alone because the person you been married to for 50+ years died and you can’t bring yourself to meet soemone else out of heartache, even after 10 or 20 years.
It is pretty cool though if you do manage to meet someone else, when you’re 90 and now you’re popping viagra like candy.
Depends if they’re just wasting away alone or still active and healthy.
Fuck yeah, juul it up old fart
FYI (because I had to look it up) Juuling is just vaping with a smaller type of vape…
like, say, a Juul?
Sure but I don’t vape so the only thing Juul means to me is Yule…
I was just teasing :)
Juul is pronounced like jool or maybe jewel. I can see how non-americans can misinterpret that though
Is that a vape brand?
yeah, popular with the younger crowd. there was some controversy over black market vape pods causing popcorn lung in some highschoolers
Na, juuls use a salt crystal delivery system, vapes use an oil base concentrate.
Salt nic is not exclusive to Juul, and only weed vapes use an oil. Vape juice is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol with flavoring and nicotine.
(Source here is me, went to vapes to successfully quit smoking back when there was more threading than a 510, when mods were a milled tube and a button or flashlight guts, with an rca connector on top so you could switch between different thread types. It sucks what its become, it was really helpful for me to quit nicotine completely by having a vape.)
Both let people know they love sucking a dick
let people know they love sucking dick
Probably not as well as when we wear our fave top
Our when our favorite tops wear us
If we were in prison together, you wouldn’t last 5 minutes inside of me
That’s the spirit. Why wait for prison?
Bruh, seeing gam gam playing patty cake at 97 is priceless. Fix this graph lol
There are definitely patty cake cool bumps when you become a parent of a toddler and a grandparent of a toddler. In those moments your coolness is off the chart.
Skateboarding is never anything but maximum coolness at any age.
That half-pipe in the graph looks very tempting. I can’t wait until I’m 80 so I can be a cool skateboarder again.
(Seeing the birthday spike.)
Nice.
Best infographic ever, I know what to do with my life now.
Drop in, let’s go
Juuling?
Vaping. Juul was one of the original companies. This meme is old
Not that old. Juul isn’t even that old. When I used vaping to quit smoking before stopping both, you had to have a basic understanding of electronics for mechanical and box mods to make coils and such. Tanks weren’t that great at that point so I used a drip tip which I did actually enjoy at the time. I recognize this might sound like being like hipster or something, but its crazy seeing where vaping is now.
Juul is a decade old I’m sorry to tell you.
Damn. Guess its been longer than I thought. Cause juul didn’t become a thing until after I had stopped. I remember other early vapes tobacco companies were trying to break in with but they were disgusting and the flavors didn’t even come close to as good as what others had been already been making.
I remember it being big news in the vaping world when walmart started carrying vapes. I went out and bought some awful eGo pen and the world’s worst tasting juice in 2.4% nicotine. I managed to get through the little 20ml bottle of sour apple but the java flavor was so awful it remained my backup ‘it’s this or withdrawals’ juice for the better part of a decade. I think I picked withdrawals most of the time.
I guess I was lucky in that regard. There was a shop near me that had a whole bunch of bottles out that you could try before buying.
people can afford to live alone?
I did for about two months before COVID, then immediately needed a roommate to afford to live again.
I’m 62. I retired in January. In February, my 30-year marriage ended. I’m living alone for the first time in decades, and I never really did it very long before (a few years in my late 20s. It’s very strange. at this age.
Wow—that is a lot of major life events crammed into 2025. Be nice to yourself. Often.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m not really enjoying 2025 so far (I’ll just mention that I’m pretty far left leaning as well, so you can understand that country/world events are stressful).
We had planned on selling our house in CA and moving to WA. Now my wife has gone to NM to live with our son, and I’m getting ready to sell the CA house so we can each buy one. I’ve decided to stay in the same area of CA (where I grew up, where all my friends are), which means my house will be a small condo since prices here are super high. So that’s adding to the stress, but compared to the marriage ending thing it feels more minor.
I know things will settle out, but it’s been hard to take.
far left leaning
Same. So Jesus fucking Christ by the way.
Divorced living alone at 30 and this meme just lifted my spirits a little bit
Enjoy the dirty thirties as they are meant to be enjoyed
I’m colour blind you ducker
Quacking whippersnappers!
I disagree with the “complaining about young people” line having coolness increase proportionally with age: when I was a young adult, I often joked about kids these days in a way that seemed to get a lot of laughs. The humour was in the fact that I was a young person talking about young people as if I wasn’t one of them (and beneath that was me making light of the text that, likely due to being autistic, I have always felt isolated from my peer group).
Anyway, I got good at leveraging this for humour, but as I aged, the joke potential expired: I was too old for there to be any irony in saying “kids these days”, but not old enough for it to be cool to complain about young people.
On the bright side, I am sufficiently old to be able to torment young people by misusing their slang. It’s most likely effective if you use the slang in a mostly right way, so I enjoy the challenge of needing to actually understand correct usage of new slang. Amusingly, studying current slang as an outsider is a skill I’m well versed in, given that I had to do this even when I was young.
