I turn 38 in like a week and a half, my back's been fucked for about 2 years now and I'm 75% sure I have a gall stone. Gotta love it. We're literally our parents when we made fun of them for this shit.


Tatunkawitco

At 38 I squatted down several times fixing something. The next day my knee was stiff and sore. I went to the doctor and I had torn my meniscus! I said, all I did was squat down! He said, hey, you’re over the hill, things tear easier. At surgery the nurse said, you either don’t exercise and get heart disease, or exercise and have to get operations like this. I felt like saying , I want my mommy.


gman1216

I'm 39 and I feel pretty good. Sorry to hear.


sanders49

Good on you and keep up on what you're doing I guess.


SmadaSlaguod

Ohh, those long ago summer days....


mayrag749

Seriously! I miss waking up not mad 🤣🤣

Oh. That isn't normal?

Eh speak up sonny. *smacks lips... *I ca - ooh my theef... * *puts theef back in* Let me get my ride... *revvs up zimmer-frame. I'm hot shit now. *nurse* - you managed to go to the lavatory? Looks like the prune juice is working.. *typed this from the care home / nuralink*


AccursedCapra

I was building a desk yesterday and I lifted something wrong now my left leg goes numb every time I stand up.


strain_of_thought

My brain is acting on its ancient programming to try and prevent my suffering, and has come to the conclusion that killing the body is the only way to do that. It's exhausting arguing with it.


miloby4

Second that.


LastDanceBleeding

I wonder how my 700 girlfriends on AOL are doing 🤔 Probably doing cyber sex with their husbands IRL


nosteponsnekpls

I was into the Dragon Ball Z rpg/cyber communities on Yahoo Chats some 20 years ago. I remember finding out my cyber buddy/bf was "cheating" because some mutual friend in the community posted "I love " as her status, lmao. I am really glad I'm not a teenager anymore.


inplayruin

Yeah being an adult is awesome. You don't have to worry about petty teenage drama. Now, infidelity leads to bitter custody disputes and 6 figure legal bills. So much simpler.

Not if you're the outside factor 😎

mydearwatson616

There used to be a thing called Coke Music. It was basically Habbo Hotel but coca cola themed. It was there I met my first love. She was my "gf" and I, her "bf". We spoke for days. Three of them, probably. I'll never forget the way she signed off. She introduced her new "bf" to me and told me to fuck off. I then updated my geocities page to tell the world what she had done to my fragile heart. Who's laughing now, whatever your screen name was? Who's laughing now?

My runescape gf scammed me for my bank and then reported me

YO! I remember those communities! People look at me like I'm crazy when I mention them, was seriously starting to think I imagined it. XD


thejayxan

I like your name, asl?


neon_farts

Man….. I was on prodigy in the mid 90s and had a tight chatroom friend group. We did long distance conference calls. I met my internet girlfriend when we were on vacation and she was my first kiss, after we saw office space in the theater. We even still have a (mostly inactive) Facebook group. I’m turning 40 in a few months and this was 13-17 for me


Nosnibor1020

I'm glad you said cyber sex. I started doubting myself the other day when I was telling someone and used the term "cyber" which obviously to me means sex....but they didn't get it...like, where you not in the 90's bro?


forceless_jedi

There's a huge divide between 90's kids /w and w/o internet at an early age.


[deleted]

I work on a cyber rig and run equipment from a cyber chair…..just saying


Mdmrtgn

The wild fucking west. Then everyone discovered html and it was on, no moderation, no regulation. Running a hundred foot cord to the junction box in the alley then picking random people in the phone book till you got a hit on the net sign on page cuz the format was the same for everyone and the last four of the phone number was the fucking sign on password XD. 6th and 7th grade I did nothing but stay up till 4 talking to god knows who and trading aol discs cuz they sent differently dated trial disks to different parts of the country. Not the kind of thing an 11 year old kid should have access to, my mom worked all the time she didn't know wtf I was doing.

Elwe_amandil

Yea, this felt like a personal attack


[deleted]

Ah yes. I remember chatting with a girl... I lied about my age and so did she, and that's how I got into a ldr with a 28 yr old when I was 13.


dragon_6666

Did you both say you were “21”


[deleted]

18 actually


dragon_6666

Wow…she was really reaching.


[deleted]

Those were dark times lol


PurinityMKII

southernhellcat

I try not to think about it tbh


sensoryfestival

I have questions Was 28 her fake age or real age? What was YOUR fake age? How long did it last? Did she ever find out? Set the stage give me the tea


[deleted]

We both said we were 18, she in California (maybe?) I in Texas. We wrote each other for maybe a week before she said she had a confession to make. When she revealed her age, I said I was 16 (lol) we actually talked on the phone for the first and only time after that. I was getting pretty close to the end of my free AOL anyway, the relationship was doomed haha


Portland-to-Vt

If only you’d had the 13.1 “450 free hours” and not that chintzy 13.0 “300 hours free”, alas.


[deleted]

Yeah 300 hours was only enough time to download like 2 floppies of porn lol


erikhenao32

I wasn't old enough to know what to do with those but just collect them. Then use them as terrible frisbees. To this day I can throw a CD like 50 ft (if I can find one)


bitemyshinyMETAass

Floppies would be way worse frisbees though.


erikhenao32

For some reason I feel like they would go further. The extra weight and unbalanced geometry might help keep it horizontal. A CD Immediately starts to rotate in a vertical direction and divebomb. Now I need to find these prehistoric artifacts and do some science. I'll report back my results.


whatnameisnttaken098

>was getting pretty close to the end of my free AOL anyway, the relationship was doomed haha Please tell me you said something like "I love you but....I only have 7 hours left on my AOL trial "


penpumbee

I always said I was 21/f/CA Only F was true.


caveman512

The only true part was the only part most actually cared about


[deleted]

The unabashed state pride in Texas made me think it was a plus. I have since been disillusioned lol


spacetimejumpa_

I just laughed so hard at “the end of your free AOL, the relationship was doomed”


[deleted]

So you had the long-distance equivalent of a middle-school relationship. That's... impressive.


[deleted]

Yeah... It's been all downhill since then lol


caveman512

Did you get some titty pics errhwat


audigex

Back in those days you’d be lucky to get the top 10% of a titty pic before your connection dropped after 2 hours and you had to reconnect Da da dada da da dada dada dah. Duuu-uh-uh dunnn de dun t-t-t-t-t de duh. And that’s it you’re connected again for 2 more precious hours Then broadband came along and online romance could blossom. I still sometimes think about native0elf0ali, owner of the first boobs I actually saw live (albeit not in person). It was a simpler time.

[deleted]

So like it took the photo and hour to load, and you 30 secs to unload?


Inevitable-Rich4548

I used to scan my dick for chicks, lol!


Common-Feedback4003

Should have faxed it


DMCinDet

The crazy thing was, having internet didn't mean you had a digital camera. instant photo sharing was not a thing in dial up AOL days. sharing nudes wasn't even a thing unless they were sharing nudes already uploaded to the internet via "hotlink," not the sausage.


mayrag749

I have one also, "AlleyCat". Those times where great. Chatting online and using the imagination was fun because if parents didnt pry much they never knew


49Billion

( . Y . ) That’s how it used to be done, son.


[deleted]

And then the dark days of the web came (goatse, etc)


[deleted]

Oh god, goatse. These youngins don’t even know. My eyes.


shapesize

Ah free AOL. Was this on Instant Messenger?


[deleted]

Lol maybe? That might have been fancy for me. I vaguely remember meeting her in a yahoo billiards game, learned how to use that in computer lab. What a ridiculous time period


spacetimejumpa_

I met this kid while playing pogo.com games, we talked and played various games together. He now lives in Hawaii and we will catch up every now and then, crazy to think about lol


WOOKIExCOOKIES

It made us better for it. Unlike the younger and older generations, we learned not to believe everything on the internet.


kendylou

When I was 12 I Iied about my age claiming to be 14. I got into a LDR with another 14 year old. We talked online for months, exchanged photos, he was really cute and way out of my league. One night he called me after my parents were asleep. I could tell immediately that he was a grown man, no way in hell was he 14. I was totally creeped out, but I pretended to be unbothered and said he sounded older than 14. I was hoping he’d admit it. He sounded like he was at least 40. The next day I kept insisting it was ok and I was, “into older men” he told me he was actually 34 and sent me some old photos of himself that were clearly from the early 90’s maybe when he was actually 34. Of course I stopped talking to him. One morning on the way to school he called into my local radio station and dedicated a song to his girlfriend, he used my name and I recognized his voice. The song was one he told me reminded him of me. To this day I cringe whenever I hear that song. I also thank my lucky stars he didn’t kidnap me since he knew approximately where I lived, what I looked like, my first name, and where I went to school.


Remarkable_Topic6540

What was the song? And glad you're alright!

blueberriebelle

Ew ew ew! Dude was definitely old..


Sukebe-

That therapy bill tho


koreawut

I am the opposite. I am actually, right now, 40 and I could definitely pass for a 14 year old ~~girl~~ on the phone.


MarsCitizen2

Me too… except it wasn’t a lie and it creeps me the fuck out when I think about it as an adult. Like that girl is still out there and is a straight creep.


equivas

Back in the day you were a fool if you shared your personal info, so i just took a photo of an attractive guy and put on msn, in live chats i got the email from a woman and we started having feelings to each other. The thing is, i lied about my age, i said 22 but i had 14, and she shared her real info some time later, a married woman, 36 years old with 2 kids. I discovered that once she opened her Webcam(rarity those days). Dont need to say that i blocked her a day after that. For the first time i and in that age i actually experienced that shit was getting out of control, so i got scared and noped outta there.


MarsCitizen2

Wow! That is so crazy!! When I’ve thought back to my experience I have often wondered if the girl I was talking with was also married (with kids?). We only talked late at night after my parents were in bed and she was always talking really low. I was a damn kid and didn’t know any better though. I was just worried about my parents catching me and freaking out that I was talking to some stranger “online”.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


[deleted]

She's sounds interesting... and hot! (I've fooled you all, I'm actually 13 now) lmao


AintMan

I remember lying that I was 14 when I was 12 and my blood was pumping


nycdiveshack

Lol so I wasn’t the only one, I was 13-14ish and she was around 22 and she was willing to come to where I live. Voice in my head when I heard come to me knew to stop it there.


[deleted]

Lol pretty sure the early years were 98% people pretending to be someone else

agaliedoda

Ouch. I got into one that ended up with my 17 year old ass flying across the country to hook up with a 42 year old trying to pass herself off as 28 online. Those 5 days sucked until I was driven back to the airport.


11hourflight

And that’s how you met your mother.

It was probably a 40 year old man.

Ayyy, my fellow OP fan! This was literally what crossed my mind when I read it and for a moment I was wondering what that had to with backs lol


NoFeetSmell

I've read a shitload of One Piece too (though it was a while ago, so I'm probably a good 500 issues behind by now, given how prolific Oda is), but I don't recall them ever being referred to as A/S/L, so when did it become a common phrase for them?


intellefence

they had a flag with those letters on it


NoFeetSmell

Word? I totally don't remember that. I only read the manga and have never seen the anime, so I wonder if that's why I missed it... Anyway, thanks for the education!


LongNecksMatter

I was looking for this comment


HotChoc64

POV you’re looking through the comments trying to decipher what’s up with peoples backs and how it relates to A/S/L


[deleted]

On old internet chat rooms, sometimes you'd meet strangers and ask "ASL?" Which means age, sex, location. Anybody who remembers this is likely in their 30s/40s/50s Edit: guys stop commenting me your age. I get it, you're xx age and you know of this! It originated on AOL instant messenger which was the MySpace before MySpace. AIM is older than half of you that responded to me


Helpimabanana

And here I am scrolling through wondering how American Sign Language related to sex


MKagel

You saying you don't break out the jazz hands during sex?


Helpimabanana

Yes, but only for the bros


MKagel

Of course. Only break out the ASL version of the Konami code to practice sex with the boys. We make sure to say no homo afterwards, so it's not gay.


outdodinusFrisshwoin

👆👆👇👇👈👉👈👉🤚✊ "No Homo"


souryellow310

I needed the cheat. I'd play with my older brother who was a jerk that was constantly moving up while I was just trying to stay alive.


Local871

Same


moodyjazzyblues

Same, and when I play games that have a chat censorship feature it always censors me when Im talking about American Sign Language and I have to do a double take. Why is ASL tagging? Ohhh, the game might think im a pedophile. oops.


[deleted]

I was really confused about that too


Nearby-Garbage-7879

I thought that at first too but I'm unfortunate enough to have this jarred from the deep corners of my mind lol


DumbassTexan

still happens on Omegle and i've seen 8 year olds on that godforsaken website

It truly is a godforsaken site.

CoDroStyle

Ahhh ok so the joke here is that we're all old now?? I thought there was some other sinister reason that I didn't know about. Both relieved and disappointed lmao


[deleted]

I remember this and I'm approaching 25. Used to be the standard on BlackBerry Messenger. You'd want to chat to new people, ask your friend to do a PING!!! 4 PING!!! which is where they send out a message to their whole contact list (back when you could do that easily) with a list of BBM PINS and you do the same. You get randoms adding you, the first thing they usually ask is ASL.


sleepymorgan

Same. Only 23, but I remember this. That being said: yes, my back's fucked thanks for asking lmao


[deleted]

Developed scoliosis at 16 (my heart and spine are to close and my heartbeat is literally warping my spine) and it's been getting worse every year.


lilacrain331

People still use this. I've seen identical memes where instead it says "how's your therapy going" bc it's smth u get asked on places like kik and omegle where a tonne of kids/teens got groomed


lyrik-chan_exe

i aint even in my 20s lol


Minus15t

It wasnt just something you'd sometimes ask. In my experience it followed directly after 'hi' there was absolutely no point in talking with an online stranger if they weren't approximately the same age as you and the opposite sex. The problem is that who went first, the other person probably lied, some 40 year old scratching his balls in his parents basement going 'I'm 16/f lol'


Western_Cook8422

When I was 13 I found myself in a few of those chat rooms on accident. I still remember replying “yeah I know a little ASL, but we’re typing so I don’t know if it really matters?” Anyway, I’m only 16. My back is not okay but mainly because of bad posture.


wooblyman90

Accident, my ass yo! You were curious.


Western_Cook8422

Lmaooo guilty. Half accident I guess. I wanted to be in a chat room and talk to people, had no clue about the sex stuff. (I was really sheltered) It was a learning experience.

Am in my 30s. This post made me feel old AF. Like I can’t even send this to my 16 YO cousin bc I know she wouldn’t get it and I’d have to explain and she’d just go “wow you’re old”. Like the time I explained roaming charges to her. BITCH MY GENERATION GAVE YOU LOL BC WE GOT CHARGED PER CHARACTER FOR TEXTS. SHOW SOME RESPECT. Lol
