"Under the age of 30", huh?
Alright, nerds, just so we're clear, that was more than 15 years ago. Assuming this is current, which it probably isn't, that "53yo" dad was in his late 30s at the time, could very much have been posting about it when it happened. Given the current average age for having kids, "bumblebeebats" was probably wearing diapers by the time the Internet got to the point of entirely abstracting it to shapes. There is a longer period of time between loss.jpg and now than between the first rickroll and loss.jpg.
If it makes you feel any better, all of this is hurting me just as bad as it's hurting you.
It looks to be past-this-year-april-recent since the icon next to the username was a thing tumblr did for April Fools this year.
(Sorry old man)
Even better. There's a solid chance Bumble wasn't even born when loss.jpg happened.
What a life.
