When you, your mom, and your grandma had children at 15.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 43 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

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.

smoking hot women in their fifties

Coincidentally, the decline of smoking probably had something to do with this.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

Why Aunt May ever looked like an octogenarian is beyond me.

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

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The actress who played Mrs Kintner in Jaws was only 45 when they filmed. She looks mid 60s by today's standards.

Fucking Richard “I’m bald and greying” Dreyfus’s was only like 35 in Jaws.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

He aged 20 years between American Graffiti in 1973 and Jaws in 1975.

[–] Flaimbot@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and it's only going to get better

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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…

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm gonna hang out with my friends.

Use protection!

I'm 14!

I'm 28.

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...

Anime is adding the letters “ILF” to every character.

edit: this is fine.

Weirdly enough anime is closest to real life. They’ve been putting chemicals in the water that are turning the frigging grandmas hot. …or I’m getting old. I’m probably just getting old

[–] norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oooh! So it's chemicals in the water! Can I buy supplements from you to fix this totally real issue?

Two world wars and it was those stairs

[–] Slwh47696@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

For my grandma just one world war, but it was those fucking stairs

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yep. COVID.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 22 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Honestly, its rare that you see ugly or old anime characters. Especially if they're girls/women

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, the old wise sage always finds a way to make an appearance in most anime

Top: 85yo

Middle: 85yo

Bottom: 35yo

[–] Triple_B@lemmy.zip 26 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I know you're making a joke, but for the uniformed:

  1. watch Jojo

  2. Lisa Lisa (bottom actual grandma) is in her 50s, but training in hamon decreases the effects of aging.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Man, I forgot Jojo used to be about hamon. I gotta rewatch pt 2

Muriel is the most robust 85 year old I've ever witnessed.

Grandmas in Soviet Russia: They keep your bike from being stolen.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why do Soviet grandmas look exactly like the Pythons' impression of a grandma?

Because when you want the best representative of an old woman, the one you should chose is the one that literally doesn't age...

It’s a cringy thing.
