Notjustbikes is also wonderful.
I sort of wonder if the next generation will still romanticize Japan in quite the same way. We’re past the peak trendy-products era of Weird Sony and the Toyota MR2, anime is no longer a secret exotic thing, and it feels like if you want “15 years ahead of us optimistic techno future”, you could easily slide in Chongqing or Seoul instead of Tokyo.
As far as I can tell, gen z’s more into Korea, Japan already seems passé (being in a midlife crisis meme doesn’t help)
I don’t see “an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline” on here.
That comes under running

Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.
Is this the guerrilla warfare copy pasta?
Omou again, fucker.
My sides.
And I know it’s a copypasta and the bad translation is the point, but “akachan” is way too friendly for “You’re fucking dead, kiddo”. I’d go for “gaki”, which is a common part of weeb lingo and literally means “kiddo”, with the same connotations and all.

My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.
I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.
Stick with it, and soon you’ll have a rolling chassis with destroyed interior, body full of rust holes, a crippling Miller lite addiction, and lots of friends with similar rusty old beaters that just need a little TLC.
Excuse me, those are speed holes to reduce drag.
Yeah but she’ll sound awesome and handle like a dream
BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I’m a regular at munches and play parties.
Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.
Think of it as more of a space where people can meet up and get freaky. 90 percent of the time is people standing around and chatting in fetish gear.
What do I do if mine’s not on here? What kind of mid-life-crisis is this?
Welcome friend.
I picked drinking and having a band. Except that’s also what I did from age 16 to 40. Maybe I’ve always been in crisis.
You’re perfect, yes it’s true!
But without me-e, you’re only you
I’m turning into a bog witch
I’ve let like half my yard grow out and turn into a de facto butterfly garden. I’ve got a birdbath where I leave shineys for the crow. It’s going pretty well, I recommend it.
I was gonna say, women have been getting sick of men and turning into bog witches for centuries now, probably longer. The more socially acceptable version was nunneries for a while, since men need to feel like they’re in control of that some way or another.
I’m going bog witch, but I’m a dude, so I guess druid?
Oh yeah I did that when I was like 18-20, it’s cool. Gnosticism and tarots are fun, I’m incorporating them into my middle aged dad bog witchery for sure.
You forgot about bouldering / rock climbing
Just as I thought I weren’t a stereotype… oh well…
I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/5k@1.5% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).
That’s awesome! Well done, and keep up the hard work. Don’t forget to stretch.
Does HRT count
This post is definitely missing gay and trans signs.
Well I’m forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don’t hate listening to my own screams.
So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that’s mine.
Le sigh. Grad school
Japan?
At avoidance of being real: no it means Japan.
We are all Japan on this day.
Konnichiwa bitches.
No, I’m pretty sure it means being or becoming a weeb
Where is the drinking and BBQing one?
I’m only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I’ve gotten into ham radio. I think it’s probably the most I’ve spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.
You’re never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.
Ham radios are awesome though and that’s less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.
Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? 🤔 Never did pickleball, but that’s pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.
I got the bonus 5th one: Linux
Been using that since my teens
Fucking math.
Yes give me sudden urge to self-study linear algebra for shits and giggles. Ima go look at math memes now.
I nearly failed math my entire life wdym it will suddenly become interesting for no reason.
Try self-teaching yourself programming If you like math, you’ll greatly enjoy being able to apply it.
Hey… Wanna go down the geometry rabbithole?
It has points at infinity, area as a function of angle defect, a triangle whose angles sum to 0…
Add gardening, birdwatching, golf, volunteering?
Cycling, an instrument, home brewing, a golden retriver…
Home brewing started in my mid 20s for cheap mead. Now the only difference is slightly nicer gear like glass demijohns instead of cola bottles and added variety. Started infusing spirits with things too.
!birding is a community on Lemmy! we have birb
You must be thinking of a retirement-crisis
oh weird, same. Though switch golf with mushroom foraging
I started collecting Lego again.
… and running.
Where is the one for dating someone 15-20 years younger than you?
That’s a sub class, if you pick running then you’ll date a younger runner. If you pick Japan then you’ll date a young Japanese person etc.
That's the post divorce crisis
Fucking legends
Or fucking nonces. Depending on where they are in the age range
Hufflepuff.
Wait a minute…
No, I stand by it. Just replace the badger with a blunt.
Cycling, linux and archery
The triathlon.
None of the above?
Strength training and returned to a hobby of my younger years - cars.
Smoking meats
Here in my backyard, smoking these meats.
Thrifting should be an option.
I can tell I’m the target demo because the Goodwills all play music I like.
I know it’s a thing, I see kindred souls with the same millennial dork vibes all of the time.
I have ADHD. All of the above.
Music 🎼🎵🎶
More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️
Bonus points for “getting back to”, as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life feels brighter.
