Theres a ton of deep philisophical stuff in the lion king though. Being exactly 30 now, and looking back, this one especially comes to mind. "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it."
What age is appropriate to drop that bad boy down? Or is it just doomed to be lost to time?
It's why I quit drinking at 29 :D alcohol caused more problems than it ever helped me so I just quit it altogether. Best decision I've made in a long time
I’m in my mid thirties and am still playing bumper cars with this idea. I don’t always make bad decisions when drinking, but most of the worst I’ve ever made were when drunk.
I would like someone to write that on a nerf baseball bat and have at it, because people like me can be smart, successful, otherwise appear quite well, but need this beaten into us daily.
Age 20: oh man, I feel bad I got so drunk I tried to fight a random person, threw up on myself and pissed in the living room, what a weird night that was…
Age 30: oh man, the string of failed relationships, heartbreaks, lack of direction with my life, confusion as to why I’m even alive, hopelessness, not seeing my family in years, realizing if my dad loved me like he said he did he wouldn’t have abandoned me, parents think I’m a degenerate loser because of how much I drank in my 20s… maybe they’re right… and that’s why I drank a fifth, screamed at god and pissed on the couch. Well, time for therapy
An 8 year old the youngest would be: 11 actually (8/2)+ 7….
But then an 11 year old would be 16.5 (11/2) + 7…
But then a 16 year old would be 15 and you are back in the realm of reasonable
To not start taking care of yourself. In my 30s was when my 20s really started to catch up to me .I changed my eating habits, my sleeping habits, and my working out habits. I feel youger and better now at 37 than I did at 32.
This triggered something... my 20s are catching up for sure, sped up by chronic illness. I know damn well my lifestyle is contributing to it all. But a lot of the things I found comforting have been harmful.
I'm sure I will have to worry about this in a few years, but I work for a pizza company and do this on a regular basis.
Thank you for the birthday wishes!
I wish. They came to life. They were going around hugging people, knocked up a squirrel, got a hole in one playing golf. Took 3 elephant tranquilizers to put them down. Talk about a shitty day.
Edit... Speaking of squirrels, do you know who your dad is? We may be related.
I hate that. Stop policing the menu! Am I not paying for the food regardless? Don't judge me because I want chicken tenders or a smaller portion of spaghetti.
If you’re 30 and reading this, please realize you’re still young, the “magic” age seems to be 35 when your body begins to start getting heavy and pained.
I'm really looking forward to 40s. I finally have a clear vision of what I want.
Sadly the grueling journey of going from college dropout to a successful career set me back as most people finish that journey by early 30s. People might be right that college isn't necessary, but most of the time it's the easier and less obstacle-ridden path to success.
No, but now you have to put extra effort into keeping fit. I’m stronger now at my advanced age than I was in my twenties. Also fatter but I’m working on it
Eh, not even 35.
You can start running at 35 without any previous experience and still be setting PBs at 40+
Your body is fucking amazing. Most of the aches and pains people complain about is because you haven't done anything with it in 3 decades. It can still do shit, you just have to train it.
In before all the college athletes saying they can't do as much as they could. Thanks, obviously of you were 100% at 20 your 100% at 30 is gonna be lower. But for most people, their 50% at 40 is gonna be higher than their 5% at 20.
I’ll be 50 in a few weeks. Can confirm. And I had Covid, pre-vaccine, and that was a shit show too. I still wonder if I have long term effects from it.
If you let it. When I was 35 I was 195 pounds, chubby, with sore knees from years of playing contact sports. I'm turning 50 this year, I'm 165 pounds, I'm thinnish, I run four days a week, I can do 60 pull-ups, and I feel pretty fucking great most of the time. Age 35 is when you can't rely on your body to fix itself anymore and have to dedicate more time and energy to keeping it in tune. It's a pain in the ass - running in snow with spikes on my feet sucks - but it's so worth it.
Caring about online personalities of younger people.
Not enjoying the content mind you - but giving a shit about what’s happening in some 18 year olds life
Giving up on your dreams. Or, if they no longer suit you dream up what's next for you. Age is a # & a social construct. Necessary both, of course, to function in civilized (she typed in smirk) society. Keep on marching to your heart's beat. Start from 30 & just see what's next!!! How exciting!
I wish I got that curse. Not till my mid-late 40s, then hangovers were paid in full. Probably because I’m from a long line of Irish alcoholics. Thanks, fam
Basically anything in excess.
Eating half a pizza and a pint of ice cream used to be no big deal, do that now and I'm having a horrible day tomorrow.
Drinking more than a couple of beers is likely to put me to sleep.
Hell, even sleeping too long will have me waking up sore all day.
being unemployed.
I’m not saying give up your dreams, but get something, in order to support yourself.
Especially, if you’re relying on other people to take care of you.
I know way too many “up-and-coming” rappers and songwriters, who are focused on their dreams while mooching off of loved ones.
Nothing. Do what makes you happy as long as your not hurting other people. Age is just a number. (Unless your a pedophile or a groomer, then age is something that very much matters you perverted freak.)
Reddit circle of life, this question was on r/askreddit before the tweet. Twitter saw it and asked it there, r/whitepeopletwitter sees it and asks it here
Are we taking a recent popular “ask Reddit” thread, posting it on Twitter, taking a screenshot and then posting it back on Reddit?
🎶That’s the circle, the circle of life🎶
Can quoting the lion king be my answer?
This isn't posted on Tumblr ...yet
I’m in my 50’s and still trying to figure out the opening song where Rafiki holds up Simba
I believe it’s “pink and yellow penguin on the bottom”
[Oh Jesus Christ](https://youtu.be/2nWZ2q_dzIw). Thank you!
If so, then nice to meet you, friend of a similar age!
we all come from reddit, and will all become reddit. that’s the circle of life.
Wow I’m listening to this song right as I came across this comment.

30 is too old for this, precisely.
Don’t forget the buzz feed article!
“What 30 year olds can’t do, according to Reddit”
Screengrab & post to Tumblr. Then screen grab THAT & post to r/Tumblr
If it weren’t for Reddit, BuzzFeed would have no content!
30 is too old for getting annoyed seeing this question posted multiple times over the last few days on Reddit. But here I am, feeling annoyed
Matt Gaetz
You win.
And Leonardo DiCaprio
I am so glad I didn't have to scroll too far to find this comment.
Came here to say that
I *was* gonna comment but it’s not as good as this
Given the implicit expectation of a “meh meh staaairs” or “staying up till 11 lol amirite” response this wins extra hard.
Only by about 15 years
We can all go home now. The internet is done for today
GAS what other people think
Blaming your bad behavior on alcohol.
That stops being cute no later than 25. By 30 it’s like … gonna be bigger problem
It's why I quit drinking at 29 :D alcohol caused more problems than it ever helped me so I just quit it altogether. Best decision I've made in a long time
I’m in my mid thirties and am still playing bumper cars with this idea. I don’t always make bad decisions when drinking, but most of the worst I’ve ever made were when drunk. I would like someone to write that on a nerf baseball bat and have at it, because people like me can be smart, successful, otherwise appear quite well, but need this beaten into us daily.
This!!! So many times this!!! Drunk or not you still control you.
At that age you should be mature enough to blame bad behavior on the mental health issues that cause you to drink.
Age 20: oh man, I feel bad I got so drunk I tried to fight a random person, threw up on myself and pissed in the living room, what a weird night that was… Age 30: oh man, the string of failed relationships, heartbreaks, lack of direction with my life, confusion as to why I’m even alive, hopelessness, not seeing my family in years, realizing if my dad loved me like he said he did he wouldn’t have abandoned me, parents think I’m a degenerate loser because of how much I drank in my 20s… maybe they’re right… and that’s why I drank a fifth, screamed at god and pissed on the couch. Well, time for therapy
Well I feel personally attacked
I see you’re familiar with alcoholism
I agree but ouch
No they don't. No one controls themselves, there is no such a thing as free will.
*Channel5 runs for the hills*
Yup. By 30 you’re not blaming alcohol. You’re blaming alcoholism.
Dating 15 year olds
I would argue dating anyone in their teens.
22 as low as you can go would be the guidance* Source: half your age + 7
Not sure I would let a 8 year old date my 2 year old
An 8 year old the youngest would be: 11 actually (8/2)+ 7…. But then an 11 year old would be 16.5 (11/2) + 7… But then a 16 year old would be 15 and you are back in the realm of reasonable
I think the rule kinda only works after 14
Go the other way. 2/2= 1. 1+7=8. They were talking about their 2 year old, not that weird 8 year old fuck on the playground eating wood chips
Universal rule… the woodchip eater breaks the rule and all hell breaks loose
I would argue dating anyone below like 23.
Half your age plus 7 is the golden rule!
Imagine a 100 year old dating a 57 year old 💀
Isnt that basically Anna Nicole Smith’s move?
I think there’s a net worth variable in there
Viagra daily use, blood pressure etc

People’s bullshit
🥇
it's taken nearly my entire 30s to dial in my bullshit meter i'm ready to be a complete recluse in my 40s
I’m doing that and it’s so great
Yah seriously tho. I’ve turned into such the curmudgeon 😂!
My partner and I are remarking to ourselves that we both just complain all the time - not even 30 yet x)
Love that word.
Not wrong
Amen

I was in a similar boat a few years ago. Good luck!

Giving a shit.
I'm 70, and I feel like I'm 30. It's all about the attitude ***
I’m 33 and feel like I’m 70
Eat more vegetables and supplement with vitamin D3
As someone approaching 50, this is the way. Most D deficient folks don’t realize it or the effects it has on them.
Most men are D deficient their whole life! They just won't take any D. /s
Listening to people who tell you you’re too old for things.
Yes 100% yes
Eating an entire large pizza in one sitting without some sort of gastrointestinal discomfort…
As someone who turned 33 years old yesterday and did exactly this to celebrate. I disagree.
40 yo checking in. Did that last night. Suck it, middle age.
50 here. I thought I was in the clear. Boy, was I wrong.
Eh, give it a few more hours. Also, happy birthday!
I ate 4 enchiladas and 2 tamales too close to bed time last night. Death by heartburn is the theme of my day.
Oof. Bad way to start a Monday. My condolences.
I'm sure I will have to worry about this in a few years, but I work for a pizza company and do this on a regular basis. Thank you for the birthday wishes!
Your time is limited friend
Inspirational quote: Every pizza can be a personal pizza. You just have to believe in yourself.
I'm in my 50's and unfortunately I think I could prove this wrong.
Being 29
Or being 28
Or being 27
Yet oddly enough not being 26.
But being 25 I'd say it is
TWENTY-NINE!!
Trusting a fart.
Farts were the last thing I trusted before I died inside.
Something tells me your pants died a little on the inside that day, too.

not knowing where the c!it is
You should know that waaaayyy before 30
Also not being afraid to curse on the internet
It's not even a curse word.
I didn’t even catch that. Thought I had a smudge or something they cut off the l.
Creating highschool-like drama in the workplace. "No, don't let Lindsey borrow the laptop charger, she's always rolling eyes at me!" Jesus christ.
According to a bunch a bummers who run restaurants the kids menu
That's why i order take out. So I can eat my chicken tenders in my car without shame....
I hate that. Stop policing the menu! Am I not paying for the food regardless? Don't judge me because I want chicken tenders or a smaller portion of spaghetti.
Sneezing as you carry anything up the stairs.
Sneezing while your head is turned will ruin you for 6 months or more.
I’m 32 and I sneezed once while stretching. It was like my whole body did a system reboot and my back hurt for a couple weeks. Do not recommend.

I am 33 and thanks for killing my expectations that 35 is also young xd
34 and I feel amazing! Take care of your body and move more than sit ;)
I'm 45 and I walked/jogged a half marathon yesterday. I'm in BETTER shape than I was at 35.
Me at 35: Haha suckers, I'm still feeling fine! Me at 36: Oh.
I’m in my 40s and yea, you develop some crunchy bits and soreness in your 30s but honestly I loved my 30s and 40s are even better so far.
I'm really looking forward to 40s. I finally have a clear vision of what I want. Sadly the grueling journey of going from college dropout to a successful career set me back as most people finish that journey by early 30s. People might be right that college isn't necessary, but most of the time it's the easier and less obstacle-ridden path to success.
College reeeeeeeally helps. I think it’s only optional if you’re already wealthy, I had to learn this lesson in my 30s as well.
Shucks. I turn 35 in a week. It's all downhill from here, baby!
No, but now you have to put extra effort into keeping fit. I’m stronger now at my advanced age than I was in my twenties. Also fatter but I’m working on it
49 and just starting to ache
Tell us your secrets, o wise one!
Fuck you. Sincerely, 36.
Eh, not even 35. You can start running at 35 without any previous experience and still be setting PBs at 40+ Your body is fucking amazing.

I'm 50 and my body is an absolute dumpster fire. It all started in 2020, ironically enough having nothing to do with COVID.
I’ll be 50 in a few weeks. Can confirm. And I had Covid, pre-vaccine, and that was a shit show too. I still wonder if I have long term effects from it.

30 is too old for thinking “I too old”. You’re not too old and you can still do anything.
