Meme Monday: Aging Memes for a Gamer

This past weekend I spent some hours ripping out weeds and weedy shrubs from our yard, then followed by trimming the shrubs that are still around back into a usable shape.* Not exactly the most fun thing in the world, but it had to be done. However, when I finished, I discovered that the muscles in my arms were having difficulty holding something steady, given that I was lifting and moving stuff for quite a long while.

I know that by tomorrow morning it'll be fine, but it's still an annoying reminder that I'm getting older.

So, I figured I'd soothe my annoyances with a few memes about aging.

Given that our local library branch has D&D afternoons
for teenagers, I can see this happening. I think we'll need
to wait for the Satanic Panic crowd to die off first, though.
From Reddit (and X, most likely).


I was having to explain something to Shintar
last week when I realized that it really made me
sound old in a way I never quite thought of before.
Yikes. From Imgur.


I at least know what Fortnite is, but ask me
to provide details about Roblox and you'll get
a blank stare. From Pinterest.


Kind of ironic they used Linus of Linus Tech Tips
for this meme. From programmerhumor.io.


If you think it's bad in your 30s, wait'll you hit
your 50s and 60s... From Facebook.


And yeah, it can feel like this at times...
From Facebook (and Coraline).



Yeah, this. From couldbeworsecomic from
Instagram via Reddit.




*In this case, "usable shape" meant trimming so that I can actually see out of the windows in the front of the house. Left to their own devices, the shrubs would have completely covered up the front windows within a couple of years. I personally would have preferred some boxwood bushes in front, but the evergreens were in place when the house was built and I have no reason to remove them unless I have to fix cracks in the basement. And yes, that's a project to eventually work on, but hopefully I can put that off as long as I can. (Because costs.)
