Skateboarding is never anything but maximum coolness at any age.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 14 hours ago
As a 52 year old that has been skateboarding since the 1970’s I take great offense with anyone that tries to gatekeep skateboarding. Skateboards are always cool.

Stop complaining… Oh wait
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
I think it’s all about perspective. Say the Patty Cake one. A 30 year old doesn’t seem “cool” doing it according to the chart. But a 30 year old who sits down with a 5 year old and does it… That kid thinks they are pretty cool.

I debate every week learning to skate at 45
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I feel there is a big difference between being able to skate at 45 and learning to skate at 45.
I used to skate as a kid, but I never once managed to pop an ollie.

Being at the bottom of the half pipe isn’t cool though.
nuko147@lemm.ee 1 hour ago
I would change the ‘complaining about young’ people with ‘complaining about everything’.
D_C@lemm.ee 5 hours ago
That half-pipe in the graph looks very tempting. I can’t wait until I’m 80 so I can be a cool skateboarder again.
MissJinx@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
of a 100 yo is still living alone he is metal as fuck. If a 100yo is breathing he is already cool, anything they do is already a win
abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 hours ago
There’s nothing cool about having to live alone because the person you been married to for 50+ years died and you can’t bring yourself to meet soemone else out of heartache, even after 10 or 20 years.
It is pretty cool though if you do manage to meet someone else, when you’re 90 and now you’re popping viagra like candy.

UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 15 hours ago
FYI (because I had to look it up) Juuling is just vaping with a smaller type of vape…
witchybitchy@lemm.ee 14 hours ago
like, say, a Juul?
UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 14 hours ago
Sure but I don’t vape so the only thing Juul means to me is Yule…
AlexLost@lemm.ee 13 hours ago
Na, juuls use a salt crystal delivery system, vapes use an oil base concentrate.
curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 hours ago
Salt nic is not exclusive to Juul, and only weed vapes use an oil. Vape juice is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol with flavoring and nicotine.
(Source here is me, went to vapes to successfully quit smoking back when there was more threading than a 510, when mods were a milled tube and a button or flashlight guts, with an rca connector on top so you could switch between different thread types. It sucks what its become, it was really helpful for me to quit nicotine completelt by having a vape.)

There are definitely patty cake cool bumps when you become a parent of a toddler and a grandparent of a toddler. In those moments your coolness is off the chart.
Wilco@lemm.ee 5 hours ago
10-15 is a bit old for patty cake to be cool.
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 8 hours ago
I disagree with the “complaining about young people” line having coolness increase proportionally with age: when I was a young adult, I often joked about kids these days in a way that seemed to get a lot of laughs. The humour was in the fact that I was a young person talking about young people as if I wasn’t one of them (and beneath that was me making light of the text that, likely due to being autistic, I have always felt isolated from my peer group).
Anyway, I got good at leveraging this for humour, but as I aged, the joke potential expired: I was too old for there to be any irony in saying “kids these days”, but not old enough for it to be cool to complain about young people.
On the bright side, I am sufficiently old to be able to torment young people by misusing their slang. It’s most likely effective if you use the slang in a mostly right way, so I enjoy the challenge of needing to actually understand correct usage of new slang. Amusingly, studying current slang as an outsider is a skill I’m well versed in, given that I had to do this even when I was young.

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
I’m 62. I retired in January. In February, my 30-year marriage ended. I’m living alone for the first time in decades, and I never really did it very long before (a few years in my late 20s. It’s very strange. at this age.

Patty-cake does not reach maximum coolness at about age 9.
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 11 hours ago
I remember patty-cake games being super popular in elementary school, and it switched to hacky sack games in late middle school through high school. I think the graph is accurate.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
As a person who quit smoking before vaping was created, I wholeheartedly support anyone who vapes as a way to get off cigarettes. Those things’ll kill ya.

Is drinking age not a big thing in other countries? In the US there would be a drop from 19/20 birthdays and a spike at 21 that drops down again for 22.
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Drinking age is 18 in most of the world (with 16 also applying some places). Additionally, my impression is that it’s not as big a deal for 16-17 year olds to get ahold of alcohol in other places.
Where I’m from, the drinking age is 17, but it’s not uncommon or a big deal for people to get some beer or drinks for their 17th birthday party.
