The amount of people your age is only going down with time.

    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 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

  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.

    The people within your “age bubble” definitely continues to grow until you are roughly in your mid 40s. But then it really does just drop off hard and fast after that. There’s things you can do that also cause it to swing wildly.

    Move to Boston - it’s the largest concentration of 20 year olds in the world per capita. Nobody exists over the age of 30 until you are 5 suburbs out of town. So if you are under 30 you just artificially spiked your age bubble up to probably your lifetime peak. If you are over 30 you just prematurely fell off a people my age cliff.

    Move to Florida - dead opposite problem.

    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

  When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…

  What about the amount of single moms in my area?

  • son_named_bort@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

  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.

  Yeah, but today is always the first day of the rest of your life.

  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.”
