Well... they're not THAT far off.
i mean, they're not wrong.
If you have wrinkles at 40 you need to wear more sunscreen and drink more water.
There are wrinkles in my soul.
you need to wear more ~~sunscreen~~ soulscreen and drink more water.
My balls are wrinkly, and they've barely seen any sun at all.
But you do admit you remember exposing them to direct sunlight more than once?

But also even if you don't have wrinkles you should wear sunscreen and probably drink more water anyway.

I’ve got mad forehead and cheek wrinkles and I’m 30 haha
It's more about how I feel inside.

"When I am 40, I will have lost my will to live over 20 years prior. I simply wait to die every day. Occasionally I try to do things I think I might enjoy, only to be proven wrong."
This is me at 30 tbqh
Use it or lose it people. I’m over 40 and I’m quite fit and healthy. Do lots of walking, running, rock climbing, golf, and enjoying nature.
I’m in better health than my younger friends simply because I’m more active. See dudes in their 70’s climbing harder than me still and in great shape. You’ve just got to keep moving.
Hearing people younger than me talk about how their bodies are falling apart is surreal. I do basically the bare minimum in terms of nutrition, exercise a bit daily, and I feel basically the same as I did in my 20s. Maybe better even because I'm not underweight.
Tbf when I was 8-9 years old I thought that 14 year olds were fully grown adults.
This but it just keeps on going.
8? 15 = adult
15? 25 = adult
25? 35 = adult
I have income, a job, a car, a place to live. I dont feel like an adult yet.
You become an adult when you hear someone telling their kids to behave or "that mister" will tell them off.
You look around. There's nobody else. You have become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. You are now an adult.
So, all you have to do to be an adult is get a retail job? Nice.

Those kids nailed it.
Ngl, at 40, I had some wrinkles, my first gray hairs were showing up, and I was using a cane
See this is another matter. I don't have wrinkles, but I went gray before I turned 20.

I am ded 💀
Found the 50 year old.
I met one of my neighbors kids the other day. They're new to the neighborhood so we were talking about the ages of his family members compared to mine. He just turned 6. I asked how old his dad was and he said 50 or 60. I could see his dad across the yard and he's definitely younger than me. I asked how old he thought I was and he said 70. I'm 36. Kids can be meaner on accident than assholes are on purpose.
Aging sucks. I think with the tremendous computing resources presently wasted on vapid AI slop and endless fart videos, we could instead use it for anti-aging research.

I've abused my body so much with drugs and alcohol and crowd surfing at concerts and late night dance parties and raves and vaping and smoking before that (actually quit for seven years; starting again was the biggest mistake of my life) and junk food and fast food. Even now that I have a pretty healthy diet and we like to go hiking, I know how much I've taken from my future. I don't expect to live much past seventy, and maybe not even that. But then again, I was sure I wouldn't reach 25 and that came and went.
You sound like the type of bastard that lives to be a hundred.

I'm 40 and my body is literally falling apart and in an hour or so I'm going to my local urgent care for internal bleeding they're probably going to send me to the ER for.
So yeah, these kids were pretty much spot on. No wrinkles though. So I've got that going for me.
Urgent and "in an hour or so" - wait wat? You must be a fellow American. At least we got Freedom tho, right?
Anyway I hope it doesn't turn out to be too serious.

This checks out.
My co-worker running ahead of me at 40, looking like the happest person there:
That guy really is obnoxiously beautiful.
Your username is intriguing
You're right! That username IS intriguing, TacoButtPlug
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yours is troubling
Also delicious.
Second one is spot on.
