50 Painfully Funny Pics Of People Who Are Getting Old Faster Than They Expected (New Pics)
You gotta hand it to the person who came up with the saying that old age isn’t so bad—if you consider the alternative.
All jokes aside, there’s more to be had. For instance, being old also gives you the opportunity to be mind-blown by how fast time passes and seeing things from your childhood can deliver a very fond sense of nostalgia.
And what better place to get a chronological heart attack than if not at the [Heck], I’m Old subreddit which is dedicated to sharing all of our beloved old school things and memes to reminisce about.

I Loved Mad Magazine! It Was So Damn Funny!! Anyone Else A Fan?
So, there’s a subreddit with a name that my mother and general decency wouldn’t allow me to type out, but it’s based on a quite common saying expressing a somewhat comedic realization and acceptance of being old.
The online group has been around since 2013 and, as of this listicle, it has 160,000 members.

No, that's her new "Bratz" doll look, isn't it just creepy af?

That is not an accurate picture of Roseanne these days. roseanne-6...d2737a.jpg 
Madonna never cared what people thought of her looks, still doesn't. I wish I had her attitude.
Attitude without the mental disorder she clearly suffers from

Even though she got her whole show cancelled and all those people lost their jobs because she said some racist stuff?

you guys are really mean honestly… you don’t have to like her look, but the least you can do is not be rude about it!
I feel sorry for Madonna. She had such natural beauty and talent, tried way too hard to remain relevant , copying current music trends, instead of following her own talents. She has a huge fan base that never cared about her aging, only she did/does. She's unrecognizable and her music isn't really original or new anymore.
Roseanne's ugliness is on the inside. This one hurt because I remember watching her TV debut on the Johnny Carson Show back in '85. I thought the Domestic Goddess was the best thing since Phyllis Diller, Totie Fields, and Joan Rivers.
I don't think she looks bad I like how she still act like when she first came out people say she should act her age but why
Apparently Madonna has had a difficult time accepting her own mortality.
I know it's not optional, and refusal brings torture, but really who wants to do that anyway???

Poor Madonna. I still love her though. I can't imagine being relavant for that long, and then waking up one day and realizing everyone has moved on. So she's pretty much reconstructed her entire body to date a guy 100 years younger than her 🤷♀️ whatever floats her boat. She's like the Cher of my generation.
lucky enough to have missed Madonna. Never bought an album, it was years before I knew it was her on the radio.
She has not accepted aging gracefully. That is anything but graceful.
No matter how much make up we plaster on Roseanne, noir how much she can make us laugh, she’s still very round.
I don't know that I think that's a fair comparison. Did Roseann luck into better plastic surgery than Madonna? Roseann now looks normal. Madonna looks abnormal and a little bit frightening, and you know should could afford the best surgeons. So what the heck happened to her??
What happens when you have a great plastic surgeon and bad one. Madonna had a poorly trained surgeon like Michael Jackson.
They'd know you were lying - because you are . Worst picture vs best picture = draw .
Madonna has lost her bloody mind. Then again, Rosanne never had one.
That's not fair. Madonna has worked very hard to make herself as unattractive as possible.
THAT'S Madonna??? What happened to her face? It's totally different! I don't think she can recognise herself in a group picture. Up to a point, I feel sorry for these women, because they can't come up to terms with growing old. Don't doctors have an ethical code?
Madonna would have been beautiful if she had aged naturally. Now? She will look like an alien chipmunk!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Madonna has crossed over into Pete Burns territory. I will die on this hill.
Not going to lie this is probably the clearest evidence we live in a simulation, Except for the fact that madonna was NEVER pretty, she was just very open with her sexuality which a lot of men are attracted to.
I think she was pretty, I think most people would agree?

As you might have probably understood by now, the subreddit features photos of nostalgic things, concepts, ideas as well as memes that throw us back to the good ol’ days.
Judging by the subreddit’s flairs, the majority of its content is aimed at Millennials, Xennials and Generation X. While Zillennials and Gen Z are also included, they have an “observer” tag.

Who Remembers Growing Up Watching This Show Every Year??
These are more than just pictures and memes. They are actually also the memories that, say, one of those hulking television sets unearthed in our brains. After all, it’s not just a TV—it’s the memory of how it took 4 family members to lift it up and relocate it into a better spot so that everyone at your Thanksgiving party could now watch the holiday game.
And the older you get, the more such memories you’ll have.
It's Furniture
Had one of those. Kept going well into the 90s. I was playing N64 games on that old beast.
Who All Had These, Candy Cigarettes Growing Up ?
In Australia, I remember ones just called "F.a.g.s" (the slang term for cigarettes, dots added just to avoid BP censorship)...I think they changed the name to "Fads" later on
Anyone Remember This 80's Show??
One of the bigger benefits of growing old is retirement. Sure, existential dread might kick in, but instead of work, you can now redirect your attention to the other things in life.
This is a great opportunity to finally pursue your dreams. Things like learning new languages, taking trips, writing—whatever—is now suddenly on the table for you to realize.

If only... I remember having to copy over them. The surprise of listening to a song end only to jump in the middle of another, totally different song. (Songs recorded from the radio, of course.)

Being old also means having significantly more time for loved ones and socializing. And if you have grandchildren or even (grand) nieces or nephews, get involved in their lives. Not only will that help you fill that potentially lonely void, but research has shown that kids need involved and caring grandparents to fully develop on a social and emotional level.

Self Titled
Try hanging one of those on new hinges. Helps to have an engine hoist.
But if you plan on being a bitter loner who just wants everyone to get off their lawn, you can look forward to a guaranteed minimum income, medicare and social security, as well as senior discounts, and other senior-focused benefits that come with age.
In any case, you might end up with a happier outlook on life as your age will entail more comfort with who you are and you’ll be better equipped to deal with challenges.

The Good Ol' Sick Days
yessss. for me sick days were crackers and flat schweppes lemonade (the fizzy australian kind - but flat, for some reason.)

Now, if you want to age well, you gotta look after yourself. Eating healthy is a key factor in having a higher life quality when you grow old, so losing 5% of your body weight, avoiding processed meats, and skipping packaged foods are great ways you can make a significant change to how you feel in seniority. Or maybe even until then.

It goes without saying, movement and exercise are also a must in making sure your body lasts. Intense exercise intervals—e.g. 15 minute bursts—reverses natural decline of muscles with age.
And that’s besides all the other benefits of exercise: improved brain health, better weight management, reduced risk of disease, bone and muscle strength, among other things.

Country Crock
Ultimately, your brain needs enough stimulus to keep it from declining as well. Activities that involve movement, socializing, and creativity have great potential to keep the brain active so as to not have it age too fast.
Lastly, stay connected and socialize. Apparently, being social helps outweigh negative habits such as smoking and lack of exercise. If that means entering retirement without quitting your day job, that’s fine—it just expands your circle of friends, allowing for higher self-esteem, greater empathy for others, and making us more cooperative.

So, accept the fact that you’re getting old—we all are—and embrace the finer things in life. Like checking out the subreddit about things that remind you of your age, and checking out another Bored Panda article on the same topic.
But if you truly need to retire for the night, at least leave a comment of the things you miss from your childhood in the comment section below!

I’m Old Enough To Remember When I Actually Liked John Travolta
Old enough to have liked him (Saturday Night Fever) , hated him (Staying Alive), liked him again (Pulp Fiction), and hated him again (Battlefield Earth).
Kurt Cobain’s Daughter Is Now Older Than He Was At The Time Of His Death. She’s 28, He Died At 27
He looks so unhappy. I wish he would have retreated to some quiet island where no one knew who he was living a quiet life, instead of taking his own life. One of the many missed terribly.

Note: this post originally had 120 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
Most of these are way too US-centered for me (and probably many others) to relate. I could tell you about "Bonne nuit les petits" and its iconic music, but that would be too French ;-)) Loved the Little Rascals, though (Les petites canailles).
Don't be bitter. It's not too French if you loved it.

these nostalgia posts put my brain into a time machine, and for a while I go back to that era while reading thru them!
With shows like Tiswas and The Kenny Everett Television Show, we in the UK from that era grew up perfectly normal.
We watched Bonanza every Sunday night. Lucille Ball was the only successful female. I had to look up to growing up. Her I love Lucy show inspired me to want to be a comedian. I'm not one, but it's my secret ambition!
OK BP, now do the same for the UK, or Europe. I think I actually recognised maybe 3% of these.
So many things from my childhood are not here. For example, the TV show "what's my line" had to guess the occupation of guests. A typical example was a person who made horse-riding gear, that was a fun episode because they thought he made toddler clothes. Well, one guest was a Colonel Sanders from Kentucky. Not only couldn't the panel guess his occupation, they didn't even come close. They thought he sold guns and ammunition.
it was great to learn about whats nostalgic to the "American's", similar vibes here, albeit with different tv shows/foods etc
