I do enjoy the 30 year old boomer memes though. Yep, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, now that was a good video game (sips zero calorie monster)
The amount of kids that use this term is to damn high...
Yup. My mom is 74 and she's one of the youngest boomers.
She's one of the oldest boomers.
Baby boomer generation is 1946-1964 (59 to 77 years old).
Not at all. I'm 58 (59 in a couple of weeks) and I'm a card carrying Boomer. The last year of the Boomers was 1964.
A kid on CS:GO called me a millennial as an old man insult. I almost shed a tear 😢
ok millennial
I was born in 1964; the last year to officially be a Boomer. My wife pointed this out to me a few years ago and I have yet to fully recover.
You have my sympathy. Your generation name will always be synonymous with an insult.
I watched a full grown adult tell a cashier their birth year was 1996. It physically hurt me.
You calling someone who's only barely older than me a full grown adult hurt me
Welcome to the pain... uhhhh life, I meant life! Seriously, enjoy your 20s.
Im trying but it ain't going so well 😭
That sucks, I've been there. If you haven't already I'd look up mindfulness exercises. Getting a clear head really helps with digging out of bad places.
Thanks. Just got out a mental health program and entering another one soon so Ive learned a lot about them. Consistently applying the exercises is a different beast altogether though
I had to set an alarm. Now a little bit of quiet time is part of my morning routine.
Kids born in 2002 can legally buy alcohol in the USA.
Their mother's really wish they had given birth to babies instead.
I'm 40 and I am legitimately trying to figure out why it is other millennials have back pain and other physical problems when I don't. That's not a flex, that's a genuine question I have whenever I see one of us say "my back hurts" or "my knee hurts".
You're probably one of those fuckin weirdos that takes care of their body.
I don't walk more than an hour a day and that's just to the shops and back.
🤔 I drink green tea. And fruit juice. Do those things prevent back and knee pain?
...Do people not walk to the convenience store?
What is it that you guys eat and drink every day?
You either live in New York or outside of the US. Which one are you?
I don't know if it'd be a good idea to say because I don't want to doxx myself. But I don't live in either of those areas.
I just do this stuff naturally. I walk to the store because it's a waste of gas to drive and I don't want to contribute to climate collapse unless I have to go a long distance, in which case I drive.
I make this green iced tea where I boil some water and steep the tea with lemon slices because it's delicious and better tasting than shitty tap water.
I thought everyone did that. 😳
No actually, in my very unresearched and unknowledgable opinion the majority of people don't really set out to walk much more than to and from their cars, the washroom, or the kitchen
That's... worrisome.
Beer mostly.
I see you too are a man of culture
I don't walk to my grocery store, despite it being half a mile from my house, because there are no sidewalks along the 6 lane roads between my house and the store.
The street in front of my neighborhood has been under constant construction for 7 years, and I'm afraid to ask them to add sidewalks because I'm pretty sure this would make the entire area entirely unwalkable even in an emergency due to the construction barriers they'd install for at least the next decade for that project.
I don’t walk more than an hour a day and that’s just to the shops and back.
That's plenty for upkeep, your body knows that walking is a thing that it's supposed to do, and continue to do, and not just an interim state between sitting at a desk and sitting in a car which can be safely deprioritised just as it deprioritises balancing on one leg while holding on to a cabinet leaning over a mine-field of legos to get hold of the winter bedsheets stowed away in a far-away corner.
If you want to up the ante a bit add hanging to the walking: No need to get into pull-ups, at least not intensively so, just hanging provides enough data to the feedback loops in your shoulders/upper back to prevent getting confused as to how they're supposed to control the muscles there.
And if you're in a bad state (or just enjoy it), say you're fat and walking is actually a joint issue: Swimming. No need to train lap times, just enjoy yourself, of course, if you enjoy training lap times then do that.
While I'm at it last but not least: With every exercise, don't choose the hard stuff. If you can't do 10 pushups then you shouldn't be doing pushups, you should be training to get to 100 wall-pushups: Less resistance means you can focus on form and actually develop good form, and many repetitions of a low-resistance exercise tire the muscles just as fewer repetitions of a high-resistance one. Muscles will become stronger in the recuperation period after the lactose starts burning, as such don't set a number goal but train to exhaustion.

One of two things: Hard physical labour especially with bad form, or desk jockeys not taking "use it or lose it" seriously, developing postural issues.
Generally speaking you want to be fit by 30 because after that it becomes a steep uphill battle, while maintaining or even regaining fitness you had then is way easier.
Yes, older zoomers, that means your fate might already have been sealed it's going to be an uphill battle with occasional lumbago while you regain flexibility or your bad movement habits and postural deficiencies are going to hit around 40. Now get off my lawn you can jog on the sidewalk.
Sounds like you didn't bounce your body off the earth enough times growing up.
See, I have the same problem (I wake up 43 years old and not sore) and I ran into the planet plenty of times as a kid. And plenty more as an alleged adult.
I'm 39 and have had back pain for 20 years already. Guess I should have had better posture as a kid?

I dunno that was a strange problem on Reddit but it was happening to 25+ year olds
Haha, that cup
Master cup.
Favorite line from Master Shake:
Beware?!
I'll tell you where to be!
Outta my face!!!
That Carl though, needs to get with the program!
Oh yeah? What program is that, cup?
Carlton, hi!
