According to my kids:

0-30 is young.

31-60 is middle aged.

61-90 is old.

Over 90 is fucking old.

[–] nxfsi@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How fucking old are your kids for them to say that? Real kids would definitely say that 25 is approaching retirement age.

Youngest is 17, oldest is 31. But it was the younger ones when they were around 10 - I think they were just mathematically calculating the middle third. I'm almost in their "old" category now and think that because (fit) people are aging more slowly than past generations middle age is stretching out, if you are defining it as able bodied and working. That stretches it to like 75 for some people. I don't think over 30 is "young" though, so if there are only 3 categories it's middle aged, and no way is 75 not old, if you are fit, healthy, and working at that age you are a fit old person.

And who can't rock a bikini at 30? WTF, where do you live?

Yeah, wtf are these comments saying "many people have been nursing back problems for years by their 30th birthday" lmfao. Like what world do they live in? Realistically though, they're probably 12 and think 30 is ancient.

Different generation. My dads generation had 8 kids and more banned chemicals plus decades of being hit by cars and falling out of trucks.

[–] EvilCartyen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All kids are real kids. Maybe the kids you know are just dumber than this guys kids 😂

[–] keyez@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same, even when I was in Jr High I thought people about to graduate college were old and may well be middle aged compared to me.

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 16 points 1 year ago

The whole point of calling somebody "middle-aged" is that they're in that indeterminate space where they definitely aren't young anymore, but they aren't like, old, old, yet, basically they're still able-bodied enough to hold down a job.

Not one. Not the other. Somewhere in the middle. Middle-aged.

30 isn't so old, but it depends hard on the person in question, some are still in great shape, but many 30-year-olds have been nursing a back problem and/or jacked knees for years by the time the birthday comes, they sure as hell don't feel young. Some 30s haven't had kids yet, some of them have kids in middle school. So that averages out, and we onboard you to this shitty party at 30. If you can still rock the swimwear at 30, do it, and don't take it for granted.

For the record, we don't care what children think old is. Children are insane.
