Also: The people don’t change. The pool of people your age that you could meet doesn’t change, it only gets smaller.
I’m too high for this.

I’m too high for this.
What about the amount of single moms in my area?
That number still remains at zero.
It can go up on a day where more people one year younger than you have birthdays than people your age have birthdays or die.
Yeah, but today is always the first day of the rest of your life.
Or the last.
I see “your age” similar to the dating pool. It grows the older you get. When I was young my brother and his friends were incredibly old. But nowadays they are “my age”. I mean, my wife was literally born four days after my brother. That alone increased “my age”.
And when I look at the other parents I meet at my kid’s schools “my age” is an even bigger group. Add hobbies to that and it’s off the chart.
Oh yeah that’s true as well. Like it’s more accepted when a 60 year old dates a 50 year old than when a 30 year old dates a 20 year old. It’s the same gap, but more frequently seen. That’s the thing with cumulative numbers!! The more they go up the smaller the ll% difference in
Meanwhile, your life expectancy is going up
Debatable, considering that with relativity and all one might age slower, thus pushing into a lower age braked.
Disclaimer a: Great shower thought! Disclaimer b: I am really bad a physics, make me rip if needed.
I was thinking the same thing, like, “Only because we aren’t traveling the stars yet.”
We’re at peak [insert your age here]
When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…
Finally, a banger shower thought. But now I’ve got an existencial crisis lol.
I mean this makes sense. It’s not unlike trying to grow your hair long. If one falls out it’s not like the new growth is going to be that long immediately.
So if someone my age dies, it’s not like a new 53 yo dude just pops into existence.
But yes still kinda depressing
Momento mori
It’s okay. We’re only running out of time. ALL of us — ALWAYS — are hurtling through space at ~30km/s around a fireball that’s burned for billions of years, on a spaceship that materialized out of the remanence of exploding fireballs, which materialized out of nothingness.
Believe it or not. A banger shower thought was an inevitability.

I had this exact same thought recently and it scared the fuck out of me for some reason. Probably the thought of being forever alone Then I realized its not that big of a deal but an interesting thought nontheless.
