When you, your mom, and your grandma had children at 15.
I'm fifty. My wife is 49, her friends and my life long friends are around the same age and they definitely include a few grandmas. In 2023 fifty does not look like fifty did when I was a teen. The amount of smoking hot women in their fifties that pass for later thirties and early forties is incredibly high.
EDIT: Case in point, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Why Aunt May ever looked like an octogenarian is beyond me.
Coincidentally, the decline of smoking probably had something to do with this.
I never thought of it, but you're probably right. Most everyone I know has quit smoking by around 2003.
And lead in the air. That dropped off significantly.
now we gotta get folks to realize alcohol is shit and poison like nic
at least curb the superiority complex people seem to have over drinking large amounts of poison to feel the same as a couple bong rips with 10x the internal damage
The protagonist was a 27 year old actor playing a schoolkid so I have to assume that everyone in the Raimi universe ages about 75% faster than we do
The actress who played Mrs Kintner in Jaws was only 45 when they filmed. She looks mid 60s by today's standards.
For those who don't know who you're talking about

those were a rough 45
Fucking Richard “I’m bald and greying” Dreyfus’s was only like 35 in Jaws.
He aged 20 years between American Graffiti in 1973 and Jaws in 1975.
and it's only going to get better
I ain't complaining. Google Photos gave me an album from 2008 and my wife looks exactly the same (hair dye is magic). Sadly, I look like I'm pushing seventy and dating a woman half my age. Nevermind... I'm ok with that.
Yeah as a 29 year old I was flirting with a woman I thought was only a bit older than me, then after a bit of making out we were chatting and learned her daughter and I are the same age…
Go on...
And then they had threesome.
That's what you wanted to hear, right?
Know a woman who was grandmother by 28.
Yep, her daughter had the first child at 14, too. Apple, tree, you know the drill.
I'm gonna hang out with my friends.
I'm 14!
This took me way too long to understand (nearly 3 minutes).
At first I understood it, differently, in a much worse way.
How else could this be read?
At that rate she could be a great great great grandmother 5 years after her retirement and would definitely make it to great great great great grandmother...
