Your back’s been hurting more and more recently. You’ve found yourself sneakily making the font on your work computer screen bigger. And you’ve realized that the music and films that those darn kids enjoy these days are beyond bizarre. No, the world’s not coming to an end—you’re simply getting older. 

The ‘[Heck], I’m Old’ online community is a place on the internet where everyone can post about aging. We’ve collected some of their most nostalgic pics and funniest memes to share with you, dear Pandas. So put on your reading glasses, scroll down, and upvote your fave pics. Meanwhile, you’ll have to excuse us, we’ve gotta sit down for a moment—we’ve got a few things to come to terms with…

Bored Panda got in touch with Glenn Geher, Ph.D., to get his opinion on what to focus on so that we can live a high-quality life as we age. Geher is a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz, a published author, and an avid marathon runner. Read on for the insights he shared with us.

Yes. Library catalogues were really wonderful. And they worked flawlessly.

Professor Geher explained to Bored Panda that the human body "is a wear item" and that there's an increase in health issues associated with aging. "From a societal perspective, making sure to provide easy access to high-quality health care—especially among older folks—is essential. And as we all know, some nations seem to do this better than do others," he said.

"This said, lack of social connections is a known detrimental factor when it comes to health. And unfortunately, many elders tend to find themselves living alone for various reasons (e.g., death of a partner). And loneliness tends to be relatively prevalent in urbanized areas—which are, of course very common in the modern world."

As such, public policy and government experts ought to prioritize issues like ensuring that elders have access to high-quality medical care and have safety nets "to help cultivate social connections." From a large-scale health perspective, these are both critical issues.

    You know you are getting old when you look backwords instead of forward.

    Geher, who is currently 53 years old, shared with Bored Panda that he's training for his 12th marathon right now. "I am fully expecting my time to be much slower than my time when I ran my first marathon at 29," he revealed that, as a result, he himself has been thinking about the issue of embracing the aging process.

    "Yes, aging is a beast. It comes with such adverse outcomes as physical decline, cognitive decline, and, often, stress and trauma associated with the increasing loss of loved ones," the professor said.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "To buffer oneself against these adverse outcomes, from the perspective of positive evolutionary psychology, folks who are getting up there in years would be wise to eat natural foods and exercise regularly, maintain an active lifestyle that includes necessary cognitive expenditure, and take steps to make sure to be socially connected to at least a small group of close others."

    Geher pointed out that the adage of aging being better than the alternative is generally true. "Taking the steps mentioned here can go a long way toward helping make the aging process a relatively positive experience."

    Professor Geher also has a Substack page and also writes a blog on Psychology Today. You can find the newest topics he covers there.

    The online community has been going strong for nearly a full decade now—it will be celebrating its 10th birthday this September. At the time of writing, the group had just over 114k members. 

    It’s easy to see why the sub is as popular as it is. It’s taking a very relatable subject (aging, getting grumpy, wanting simplicity, realizing that the younger generations might lack taste) and putting a fun spin on it. It’s a corner of the internet where you can find the humor in getting woken up by your bladder at 3 am and having an ID card that shows you were born before the turn of the millennium.

    Was never in to vinyl. Had a reasonable amount of music on cassette, including a fair bit recorded off the radio and then CDs came along. I still have all my CDs, but they have all been converted to digital formats, so the CDs now only serve as backups. Most of my music now lives on my NAS, with voice-controlled playback. Some is on USB sticks for the car.

    Same, when mp3 became a thing, I ripped all my CDs to digital, and they were never played again. Still have them in a box somewhere. When music streaming became a thing, I uploaded them to a playlist, so now I hardly ever play the local files. I do still have and listen to vinyl, but nothing really newer than stuff from around 1985 (all my old favorites I never upgraded).

    I still only listen to "my" music from the 70's and 80's. But at 66 I put it all on my phone and bluetooth to listen in my car. My husband is baffled on how I do that. He's a low tech guy in a high tech world. Google maps nearly sent him to an early grave. He still used Thomas Brothers map books when he needed directions. He gave me a check for an item I ordered for him online. I told him I already took the money from him on my phone. He never looked so bewildered before.

I like my music fresh!I I have a few special CD’s, like Andrea Bocelli, my Portuguese jazz, this music, is so beautiful! And my Jason Mraz. I am considered a bit old, 64, but when I wake up on a really great day… my mind really does tell me, “ Heeeey! “ “ you are well rested, feel wonderful, and there is no school, no work( disabled), so let’s have fun today!” Of course that means to actually KEEP feeling great, I need to remain in bed. As soon as I get up my entire body yells LOUDLY APRIL FOOLS, YOU SAP!! You fall for it every time! Get out of bed and feel the pain! There is no doing what you need to do, unless there is pain, so up and attempt the day!! Mind mind, has now begun to curse at the worse offending body parts.

    As a gen X I was happy to replace my record and tape collection with CD. Smaller, more durable, better sound quality. But still a little booklet with cool pictures and song lyrics to read while you listen. While I certainly use MP3 I'd prefer to buy CD and do my own ripping than buy (or worse) rely on streaming for my music.

    You could have just... kept your existing collection? Nobody physically forced you to get them again on a new format. You could have easily recorded the records to tape. And unless your new car came with some kind of fully integrated cd player that you couldn't swap out, you could have just taken your old tape player into the car... But since you got cds, you could have easily ripped the mp3s yourself. This sounds more like boomer mentality than gen x mentality.

    I Would Sign Up For This

    GenX meme suggesting abandoned malls as retirement communities, listing amenities like food court and movie theater.

    OriginalCopy505 Report

    It might sound cliche, but your age really is just a number. What matters far more is your lifestyle, how active a social life you have, and how you feel on a daily basis. If you’re healthy, active, surrounded by loved ones, and find gratitude in the smallest things, then it really doesn’t matter if you’re 70 or 17—you’re living life well.

    However, a happy and healthy life isn’t something that happens automatically. It requires a lot of personal effort, a dash of discipline, and the willingness to set strong boundaries.

    There is no definitive way to be happy because everyone's an individual with unique goals, but it’s vital that you get the basics right first. These include taking care of your physical health, staying mentally sharp, maintaining your social connections, and living in the present.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    As far as your physical health is concerned, the habits that you want to develop as soon as possible are common sense ones. Like getting enough sleep every night. Drinking plenty of water. Spending time in nature. Moving lots. Reducing screentime. Eating slightly less than you normally would. Avoiding drinking alcohol and smoking. Wearing sunscreen. And choosing to eat veggies, healthy fats, and protein instead of processed foods and refined sugars.

    Health and fitness coach Anna Armagno Toussaint previously explained to Bored Panda that we should all strive to focus only on the things that we can control in life instead of worrying about the things that we can’t.

    "You can control what you put into your body. You can control your water intake and the foods you choose. You can choose to exercise or be sedentary. In most cases, there are good or bad decisions you can make. And the biggest one is that you can choose your mindset about things," she said.

    The fitness coach explained that there will always be hereditary factors that you’ll have to work around. Some might be minor. Others might be as serious as autoimmune diseases. You can’t choose these things, so you have to work around them. Embracing a positive outlook can help you get through those tough times, as you come to terms with reality.

    Meanwhile, fitness coach Anna told Bored Panda that what really doesn’t help is feeling jealous that someone else might have physical advantages that you don’t. Whether it’s seemingly limitless energy or the ability to recover quickly after exercise. You can’t let those feelings of resentment dominate you.

    If you find yourself struggling with your physical or mental health or having trouble with the very idea of getting older, it’s perfectly fine to ask for help. Reach out to your friends for advice. Talk to an expert about your goals. Seek out a therapist. Getting another person’s perspective on your struggles is invaluable!

    Age UK, the country’s leading charity, previously told Bored Panda that staying active is paramount as we age. It helps to have a host of different hobbies and to try out new activities. Not only will they keep you moving, they’ll also stimulate your mind, and help you forge new friendships. The activities could be anything: from doing arts and crafts or taking photography or computer classes to doing gardening or joining a book club. Social isolation is horrible for our health, so it's essential that you regularly find ways to connect to other people.

    "If we want our brain to stay in peak condition, we should use it. In fact, one of the theories about reducing or delaying cognitive aging is referred to as the 'use it or lose it' theory.

It is just as important to look after your brain by exercising your thinking skills, as you would do physical exercise to look after your body,” Age UK told Bored Panda.

    Meanwhile, whether or not we’re nostalgic about the past will depend a lot on how (un)happy our childhoods were. Child and adolescent therapist Kemi Omijeh, a member of the BACP, previously explained to us that our childhoods are the foundation of who we are as adults. If we had a happy childhood, we’re likely to yearn for the ‘good old days.’ However if we faced a lot of tough times when we were kids, we might not want to reminisce much about the past, instead focusing on the present and future.

    "Nostalgia can also be a good coping strategy for times of low mood and challenges," the therapist told Bored Panda earlier. "If we end up comparing it to our experiences today and feeling like nothing is as good as it was, then this will inevitably affect our mood and our ability to do what we need to do. We can become stuck in our nostalgia; in which case it might be best to seek help from a counseling professional to help you process your past in order to enjoy your present..”

    I had back surgery in August (2022) We found 43-year-old birth defects that we were previously unaware of. I've always hurt, just ignored it until it couldn't be ignored anymore

    I remember the ones that had the lamps in front. You could block one and all the red (or blue or green?) would disappear from the show you were watching

    Tried watching this with my kiddo who is older than the first time I watched the movie (or any of the Don Bluth movies) and we both were crying so had to turn it off…my child is now a bit scarred. My partner made me turn off all Dogs Go to Heaven because he felt we should talk before showing her more mature content….lol

    (in case someone doesn't get it) The album's original cover featured a ray of light going through a prism and splitting into multiple colors, like a rainbow, and this logo is a reference/homage to it.

    I was a checkout chick at 16, more than 30 years ago. No scanners, you had to manually type in the whole barcode of each item. Credit cards were 'swiped' on those manual machines, then you had to fill out the details by hand. Everything took twice as long but you had more time to talk to the customer. Happy days 😊
