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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

and it's only going to get better

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year 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…

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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year 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...

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

edit: this is fine.

Grandma in real life: dead

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two world wars and it was those stairs

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep. COVID.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year 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

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah the whole "stand" thing was just yet another attack on the sanity and coherence of that series. The entire thing is an exercise in suspension of disbelief and faith despite constantly escalating deus ex machina. That being said, chefs kiss.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Niiiice! 😁👌

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It’s a cringy thing.
