‘Millennial Heaven’: Instagram Page Shares 50 Relatable Memes For People In Their 30s (New Pics)
InterviewHey, Pandas, raise your paws if you’re 30 or older. Awesome! It’s still super weird for us that we’re, like, grown-ups and stuff. In our heads, we’re still pretty much high schoolers (and we have the eating habits to prove it!).
However, time marches on, and soon enough you find yourself doing mature things like paying taxes. Raising kids. Worrying about your job. Freaking out about the economy. Getting scared by your incredible lack of fitness after you pulled your back when you stood up too quickly. There’s a lot of panicking going on here, that’s for sure!
The ‘Thirty AF’ Instagram page shares some of the most relatable grown-up moments (with a heavy dose of '90s nostalgia), and they are beyond hilarious. Scroll down to have a good laugh (through the tears), Pandas, and don’t forget to upvote your fave memes. We’d love to hear what you love and hate most about being an adult, so pop by the comments and share your thoughts.
Bored Panda got in touch with the friendly team running 'Thirty AF,' Chloe Jankowitz and Peter West, and they were kind enough to answer our questions. We had a chat about how to stand out online, how to avoid dreading your thirties, and what the future has in store for 'Thirty AF.' Check out the full interview below!
When you’ve enjoyed this list to the fullest, check out Bored Panda’s earlier article about the ‘Thirty AF’ project right over here.

Except maybe a show where they get shipped off to another planet.

Please 🤌🤌🤌 That woman genuinely gets on my nerves whenever I read one of those "advices" she gives to women
They already did this but with Paris and Nicole. Go watch The Simple Life immediately 😜
Was looking for this comment, that show was hilarious. Paris telling country farmers "thats hot"
Load More Replies...Holy $hit, yes. And all profits from the show must go to charity. They'd never sign such a "bad" deal.
The team told Bored Panda that in order to stand out online in terms of memes and humor, you have to pay attention to what your audience enjoys, involve your followers, personalize, network and credit.
"Pay attention to what resonates with your following and post more of it! Over the years, we have very much let our followers influence our content. When we first started out, '90s/nostalgia wasn't a huge focus. We'd post a nostalgic meme from time to time and began to notice that the comments became a space where people really bonded and had funny and positive interactions with strangers on the internet (shocking... I know!)," they shared.
"We started to focus on that more and, in addition to the content we posted in the feed, we created story series around nostalgic themes and launched our global treasure hunt for Nostalgia Grabs (free packs of nostalgic treasures hidden all over the world!). We absolutely post content that isn't tied to nostalgia as well, but letting our following influence our themes definitely plays a big part in growing a page on IG!"
My dad has a horse that if it saw a saddle it refused to be caught, but if it saw the little cart it pulled, he would come straight over and do a little merry dance at the excitement of going out! So dad never rode it and just took it out in the cart, he didn't think it fair to make it do something it didn't want to do and obviously didn't enjoy.
I really like that. I had a horse that ran away when she she saw the saddle, so I just took her for walkies like an oversized dog. She loved that!
Load More Replies...Meet Natasha, she doesn't like working. If somebody at her work catches her on Bored Panda, she will pretend that she is using it for research purposes. But unfortunately, Natasha is not an adorable horse, so Natasha will either work or be fired.
My wife do the same, every time I want to "ride her"... (okayyyy, I'm out! don't punch me, it's a jooooke)
At first I was a little disgusted by your comment. But then I reread it while picturing the horse pretending to be asleep and not opening it’s eyes until you’ve left and now it’s hysterical to me because I’ve definitely not done this to my husband once or twice 🙊
Load More Replies...I own a few horses and they all have their own quirks but the funniest one by far is "little sun". He wont allow you to ride him until you hand feed him something sweet (he loves apples) and brush his mane.
I didn't know that the Jim Rose Circus was still a thing. Awesomeness!
This is like my nephew! My nephew is a dachshund, and if you ask him if he wants to go for a walk, he will go hide. He loved to torture my son by barking any time my son moved, but when asked if he wanted to go for a walk, the doxie went over to my son, plopped in his lap, and rolled over for tummy rubs... Because being nice to his victim was preferable to going for a walk (the two get along quite well now).
My husband and I owned a restaurant and by the time clock he put up a sign 'If you've never seen the dead come alive you should see this place at closing time '
The time to go to sleep usually is the same time when other people finally stop expecting something from you (in other words: they finally leave you alone) and you are finally free to do as you please, without being judged for it (because God forbids if we are not always "productive"). Of course, you'll revel in that moment of rare freedom. It's come to the point where during the day I feel like a freaking drone, what with always having some responsibility to take care of and never having the time to spontaneously do something I enjoy.
Meanwhile, you should definitely try to involve your followers in your content somehow, and interact with them as much as possible. "We LOVE doing follower-submitted photo contests, asking followers for suggestions on songs/movies to feature in our story polls, etc., and then using their contributions and tagging them. This gets our content shared and makes people feel involved in the content rather than just observing from afar. I also highly recommend keeping a very close eye on DMs. A lot of the content we post is from creator submissions that pop up in our DMs! Also, interacting with followers and replying to DMs helps add a voice to the page and also gives you ideas of what themes people are most connecting with."
Moreover, you shouldn't forget to personalize your content, even if you're sharing things that you didn't personally create. "We put a lot of effort into writing engaging captions, pinning funny comments, and replying to people in the comment threads. Simply posting a meme and bailing isn't a way to connect with people. By hanging around, engaging, and personalizing, you show that you're present and give a human connection to a page. We've put a lot of effort into keeping things consistent through regular features and making story content feel unique to our brand," the 'Thirty AF' team explained to Bored Panda.
We had to spend days on end in libraries trying to find information that now is just a five second web search away.
Think how much we learnt extra while doing so (not necessarily anything useful, but extra)
Load More Replies...We had to physically go looking for our friends if we wanted to hang..
we did not "memorize driving directions". we printed them out, and almost died reading them while driving.
To be fair memorizing driving directions is very useful
Phone Directories and Yellow Pages. About 4 books. They used to be delivered when a new one came out.
I loved the yellow pages, the adverts for them were great too.
Load More Replies...Now people act like I should always have phone with me & take their calls or texts immed. Act slightly offended if I don't. Pro's & con's to today & yesterday's. Feels like a leash & a demand of my moments at times. I don't always have phone with me, or carry room to room or outside in yard. I don't answer if I'm busy with something I want to do, or eating, or talking/visiting with someone else, or playing w/my dog. I don't let my phone bug me as much as some do.
I have decided, as a gen X, that I own my phone, it doesn't own me.
Load More Replies...Oh the memories! I was a teenager in the 80s and it was wonderful. Talking on the phone for hours, having the girl or guy you liked pass you a note in school, clearing your schedule to watch something on TV and $20 could last you the weekend! We were definitely Gods!
Yesterday, it took me more than it should to explain to my daughter what is a dictionary and how to use it without having one at hand... I used an online version and it threw my explanation out the window...
The box said "for a family of 4". So I guess I am a family of 4, fu.
I pay attention to how many fortune cookies or forks they add to my meal. Usually four or so, but my record is eight.
Yeah my bf did not realize why I refused to be "food gremlin" on Halloween night.... I kept saying "oh I must go to the bathroom" rather than retrieve food from porch.... he had to open his door himself, only to get wrapped In fake cobwebs that my daughters and I had hung to prank him... but I applaud and am forever grateful, to the delivery service driver that took the pic of his food and spider wrapped door (that BF didn't check), before BF was wrapped up in fake cobwebs to retrieve pizza... I will never stop laughing.
Did I ghost write this? I get furious now when the delivery people insist on seeing me, like just leave the food and go, I pre tipped you already!
That's why I wear googly eyes on glasses... I must be incognito.
Load More Replies...I do the same, just that i watch YouTube shorts instead of Instagram....
A couple of younger co-workers turned me on to the magic that is TikTok... And someone needs to please turn me back into a 38-year-old because it sounds like a 60-year-old just wrote that last sentence, LOLOL
What are these things you speak of? Is no one myspace anymore?
For this it works like a filter! Only the x% best (admittedly not necessarily good) make it to instagram - a lot of junk then you do not even have to see!
bro mine's the worst, I watch Snapchat stories of Tiktok videos 😭😭😭
When you're sharing posts and memes that you didn't create, it's absolutely essential to give the original creators the proper recognition. "Don't try to take credit for content that you didn't create. Crediting and helping drive traffic to creators' pages is not only the right thing to do, it also is helpful in growing your own page!" they said that everyone wins in these situations.
"People appreciate the tags, follow, and share your original content, too. Over the years, we've actually become good friends with a lot of the creators we've connected with through IG, we just went to one of their weddings!"
The 'Thirty AF' team told Bored Panda that they actually love being in their thirties. A big part of that comes down to have a clearer understanding of what they want and what's good for them. There's a stark difference here, compared to one's twenties.
Some people might focus on health and fitness once they reach their thirties. Others prioritize mental health, looking for happiness and balance, and being themselves—authentically. As you grow older, you realize that you apologize less, do more of what you want and what meets your needs, and feel far more confident in whatever decisions you decide to make.
Same. I even have to mentally prepare myself just to put the garbage bins out.
Had to put the bins out last night. I'm still recovering 😭
Load More Replies...Today I went for a walk in the morning, had a brief convo with a lady and her cute dog, then planted my tulips in the afternoon. I'm 100% shattered physically and mentally and having cereal for dinner because I'm too tired to even make a pot noodle
I had a doctor appointment today and have been a shaking mess ever since. Nothing is getting done today. I used to have two part time jobs plus a maximum course load with a better than 4.0 GPA. What is happening?
Same. I have a drs visit on Monday and I already know what sweats I'm going to put on when I get home and what book I'm going to read. Also planning a recovery nap.
Load More Replies...As a chronic pain sufferer, I can confirm that this is actually a huge sign and warning of moderate turning into severe depression.
This is why I have a spoon tattooed on my leg. Just in case I need that extra one (which I frequently do)
Load More Replies...I would have assumed it’s because their ruffian children are too busy with their mums to rob a house
Well that's if you know who your dad is, if he is in your life or if he is alive... My siblings are like 50/50 on who their dad is and the man my mom claims is their dad has never been in their life.. my dad was unjustly take from me 6 years ago by an ahole who wanted to kill himself so he waited for the next vehicle to come by and slammed into it, which happened to be my dad out on his weekly Harley ride. My dad did not survive, the a*****e did not succeed he is still alive and he took the most amazing man this world ever saw away from us 🥺
Load More Replies...Or... that kids really do love their mothers and are too busy celebrating her.
I love taking myself out on a date! I go to the restaurant I want to, enjoy some dinner and drinks quietly while I read or play spider solitaire, go see what ever movie, show, or concerns I want. Just some good me time with myself. It has been harder to do since marriage and kids, but when I get the rare chance, you better believe I take it!
Up vote for spider solitaire. N don't forget t play minesweaper too
Load More Replies...Sounds like a momentary respite for a retiree to get out of the house, but I've done it with a dirty margaritas, calamari, and a kindle.
"dirty margaritas, calamari, and a kindle" up vote required!
Load More Replies...I used to dress nice go to an outdoor bar, order an old fashioned and wear my headphones and listen to music or an audio book in my mid-late 20s. Was a fun introverted way for me to go out. Then I met my husband and now we sit in our PJs drinking at home listening to music together. Life goal met.
I like the one where it says "So does the term domestic housewife indicate that there is such a thing as a feral housewife...because, if so, I have a new life goal."
It's easier than you think. Most women would not do that without someone to go with. This, even tho sometimes you don't feel like having to direct your attention to any one particular person or none at all, just want to hang & chill. So they don't go out & grab mozz stix & drink, but stay here bored. Go anywhere, anytime u want, walk in & claim your territory. Let poaching dudes know they aren't welcome to interrupt your time (unless they are), with 'not looking for company', or I'm busy. Don't worry about not hurting feelings, claim your space, leave all the extra women's politenesses at home, give 'em a vacation.
In contrast, they noted that, in their twenties, they worried far too much about what people thought about them, and wanted them to like them. That changes when you reach thirty. You become more comfortable: you know that you can only control so much; what others think of you is out of your control. That way, you're free to spend quality time with that people whom you genuinely care about. The 'Thirty AF' team would never let go of the upsides of turning thirty and is excited to see what their fourties will bring.
As for what the future holds, the 'Thirty AF' team has a "crazy busy and exciting 2023 planned." There are a few projects that they're working on, including a book, a podcast, and a few other things that are super secret!
What's more, they're going be back at the 90s Con this spring hosting some events and with a few booths on the floor. "If you're in Hartford, stop by and say hi!"
Growing up I used to think my mom knew everything cuz shes a mom. I'm now a mom of 4 and raise my sister's 4 kids as well. I don't have the answers to NOTHIN and barely know what I'm doing!
It's crazy because now that I have realized this, I see my parents differently. I feel like a teenager again. "Why ask mom for advice? She's just winging it too". Except now we can drink wine together and ignore our problems instead of arguing.
Not sure why you got downvoted, it is valid advice. Feel sad? Fake a laugh and you get a boost of serotonin. Nervous? Act confident and it will start to feel real.
Load More Replies...I have one guy at work who is a first time dad. He said the other day that he was worried he was going to screw his kid up. I said "Of course you're going to screw the kid up. That's why you have a second one. The first one is practice." He laughed!
Laugh-crying because it's true. (Firstborn here) Have an upvote for the comical perspective
Load More Replies...You forgot the last part of the cycle where we wish we were kids again and didn't know things and had no responsibility
Agreed. I never knew when the economy was bad or if my parents were afraid of losing their job.
Load More Replies...I was in second grade when I discovered I knew something my teacher didn't.
I always imagined that one day i would "feel like an adult." I'm in my 60s and I've given up on that. I'll never grow up.
Never thought of it that way as my couch sleepy is sleepier than my bed sleepy
Same for me - but that's the problem. I get sleepy on the couch, so I decide to go to bed early... but as soon as I'm ready for bed and lying in it, I'm wide awake.
Load More Replies...Why people feel that they need to move from the couch to bed is beyond my comprehension. I always wondered how deep my sleep would be if my teachers would just let me stay asleep when I fell asleep during class, or at the beach, or behind the steering wheel?
Man ain't that the truth! Happened to me last night. I'm watching TV on the couch, falling asleep. Tell myself "self, I says, better get into bed. You've gotta be up early." I get into bed and I'm awake for another 2hrs. SMH
Or how after repeatedly falling asleep with your nose mashed into your book you turn the lights out and lay there wide awake for the next three hours.
You just have to start the conversation with "sorry, my battery is almost flat, how are you". Then you end gracefully whenever you like.
My mother overheard my aunt saying this to her daughter 'press the doorbell, press the doorbell'. She was so very, very hurt. Fine to do it, just don't let people know that you are.
Like the idea of keeping keys, purse, coat right at the door so if someone pops in, you can have those things in hand and say something like, "ope, just walking out the door. Ya caught me at a bad time"
Only my parents phone me, everyone else just texts... like normal people.
Would still work if millennials didn’t kill the doorbell industry by texting “here” 😔
I just start all phone calls with talkative people by saying that my phone’s about to go dead. Then, whenever I gets tired of talking I just hang up. Works wonders
I wish I had a doorbell. But if anyone ever comes over unannounced, just grab your coat and be like oh I was just leaving.
‘Thirty AF’ is the brainchild of Chloe Jankowitz and Peter West. They’re friends in real life!
“We've been good friends since day one of our freshmen year at Emerson College in Boston, MA. Since graduating in 2009, we've always lived far apart, in different states or sometimes in different countries,” they told Bored Panda during an earlier interview.
Despite the sometimes vast distance between them, they constantly kept in touch by sharing memes and videos with each other. Their sense of humor was very similar.
“In 2018, we decided to start Thirty AF as a fun way to share these jokes with a wider group of friends. We never really thought it would ever grow into anything more than a fun hobby, but eventually, it really started picking up and we decided to put more of our focus into figuring out what our brand was and finding creative new ways to engage our quickly growing following through reposted content and regular features that we created ourselves,” they told my colleague before.
“We both have backgrounds in marketing and media, and found that our combined skills helped us create something that stood out from other meme accounts and build a fun and engaged community of 30-somethings,” Chloe and Peter said.
False! As an adult you have to get up even earlier to check the kids don't eat junk food, and do shower.
Yes these are symptoms of depression but let's celebrate an 'off' day where you do not need to succumb to societies forced norms on what adulting actually looks like. I think we should be able to watch TV, eat junk and not shower, just for the heck of it. Like it's ok to have a day just for yourself
I've always loved being in the shower, literally the only place as a depressed kid to cry in peace
I've always carried a fear of the shower from childhood. Being forcibly put into the shower fully clothed was never a fun experience.
Load More Replies...This was indeed the most depressing realisation from Bored Panda for a while....! PS. I hope you get better Elle!
Load More Replies...Or ruin it by explaining that now you have to tell YOURSELF to do all these things! The chores are still there, you just have nobody else to blame anymore and almost no way to duck out of it. Sure, you can procrastinate taking out the garbage - if you don't mind the smell? Sure, you can skip a shower or ten - if you are not easily embarrassed by unexpected human contacts? Sure, just pay the bills another day - who needs electricity, heating or water anyway? It might come as a surprise but not everything we are forced to do as kids and teens is just invented to annoy us; some things are indeed necessary.
Oh my god, I want this to be real one day so bad. My kid will be hanging out with his friends and my hologram will pop up and I'll just be wearing my old lady muumuu, cold cream and curlers in my hair.
Load More Replies...And then they could not ban phones as punishment because we did not have any. Fun times.
They could very well ban my time on the land line, though! And they did!
Load More Replies...Oh man the freedom we had as kids is insane to think about in today's terms. I would straight up leave in the morning on what I called "my expeditions" which consisted of walking out into the woods until almost dark. Gotta get home before the street lights turned on. I was in 2nd 3rd and 4th grade y'all. It was 92 to 94..if you saw a child that age out in the woods by themselves today the authorities would get involved so fast.
Only a bit older than you and I giggle about how my current goals include being home before the streetlights come on. The circle of life lol.
Load More Replies...My mom calling momoffrined1, momoffriend2 and momoffriend3 in consecutive order u til she found one who had seen us (we were ten kids in the village, always hanging out in this garden or that garden, by the creek or in the wood. Playing ball on the grass strip by the water or similar.) Said mom would then start shouting to get our attention. "Kid2 has to be home now, it's dinner time!" We may not have phones, but we were reachable nonetheless. Until the day I got a pony and disappeared for hours on end with food and carrots in the backpack. Oh, that were the days....!
Gen z was in 1998. A lot of people forget that Gen Alpha is now a thing
Yeah I really don't get why girls are dressing like that now... Probably because it's TikTok trending.. I just like the music and the outfits fit my personality so that's why I like them. But then a lot of people are like just showing off and it's stupid.
Of course hopefully that means cops don't show up at your friends house at exactly 10:15pm because you're stuck in traffic coming home...
Train your shoulderblades muscles and it will help your neck muscles to keep up.
Load More Replies...I'm 45, everything hurts and if it doesn't hurt or ache then it doesn't work
If I sleep on my left I crush my own shoulder then I can’t move my arm properly after I wake up
Load More Replies...Then when you age some more - when you wake up with no pain at all, your first thought is "Okay, so today is THE DAY."
At least you don't have to worry about turning your head! lol
Load More Replies...I have neck problems anyway because I got burnt real bad and had to get skin graphs on my neck and it pulls on the front of my neck. And it really makes the back of my neck hurt. but my neck has came so far. I'm just happy that it doing good. But damn sometimes it just painful.
And if you run without warning up, your legs hurt, although running is your legs' job. Now if your legs hurt from turning your head and your neck from running, that would be wild.
Look, the neck has been working for 3 decades straight. It's tired too, man.
The last time that Bored Panda featured the project, their Instagram page had 1.6 million followers. Now, the account boasts a jaw-dropping 2.1 million fans. It’s not hard to see why. The memes they share are as relatable as they are funny. What more could you want?
"When life changed dramatically for everyone in March 2020 and we all found ourselves spending a lot more time at home and a lot more time with our phones, we put even more energy into building Thirty AF. We grew by over 1 million followers in a single year, and it is now a full-time job for both of us," the founders of the project explained how a hobby turned into a profession.
As the page gained more and more popularity, Chloe and Peter broadened their horizons. They expanded to TikTok and created a spinoff account, called ‘Hungry AF.’ They’re constantly thinking of ways to evolve their brand.
"We run an online shop and release a yearly Nostalgia Box that is a fun mix of products from nostalgic brands like Dunkaroos and the Lisa Frank nail wraps from Orly, and also fun products featuring nostalgic references. Our 2021 box sold out in under 24 hours! We're also working on some very exciting things for 2022 including a touring pop-up event and a TV game show—we can't share a lot of info on that yet, but it is insanely exciting and something we never thought would happen!"
Lisa Frank was the must have school gear! I had the best trapper keeper! Also Captain Planet, that show was my life.
Lisa Frank! Trapper keeper! 🥰🥰🥰 I miss hanging out with people my own age. Anyone else remember Fraggle Rock? The neon gel pens were so cool. Did slap bracelets get banned in your elementary school too?
Load More Replies...I just want to say, i see your comments on posts often and they always crack me up :) also love the name
Load More Replies...Yes, it was all lies. Beautiful, terrible lies. I was 13 when I learned dolphins are really nature's jovial gang rapists. 😨💔
I didn't want to be a marine biologist. But my parents took me to see a double feature of Jaws and Orca when I was 4. Still deathly afraid of the ocean. On a related note covering your kids eyes at the scary parts doesn't work. We can still hear the screams and see thru the cracks in your fingers.
Before the documentary "Black Fish" I may have considered it a viable option, except I don't really know what marine biologists do...except intervene Japanese whalers and write grant proposals.
That means that she understands how common abuse and financial abuse are. :( Tbh I agree with grandma. Good to have some money that's just yours
That is not how a successful marriage works.
Load More Replies...Yup! My husband and I have our own separate accounts. We have a list of certain things we are individually responsible for and the rest we can do with what we want. I'm not sharing my money, especially now that I out earn him. And I'm better at saving it than he is.
The best way is the following: you and your partner have a own bank account for the income from your job. You have togheter another account. From your own account you transfer the needed money for the running kosts to the shared account. So have everyone they own money. And there are no secrets.
Oh, and by helping I mean I'm going to destroy large parts of public property, likely destroy some citizens in the process and then rebuild. You'd think with all the rebuilding the place would be a little cleaner
To be fair, in a world with Jokers and Penguins no amount of public programs can prevent chaos
I love Batman as a character. But if you really step back and look at it, he isn't really going after the right guys. He's start with all of Bruce Wayne's peers, their money managers, and their bought politicians. He'd buy his own politicians, enact reform and regulations on the financial markets. Instead beating up a half dozen guys robbing a bank, he'd beat up bank managers that offer predatory loans and whose checking account policies cause 1 high dollar check to go through while bouncing 10 low dollar transactions that incur a $25 penalty. He'd buy up slums and offer low cost housing while kicking the c**p out of dirty landlords. He'd hurt politicians whose only true goals a creating laws that benefit people like him. Bruce's Wayne's wealth could make Gotham a decent place to live where the social net is so effective that there would be no henchmen available for the villains. And in the end, he'd still be a 100 times richer than anyone else, but not 100,000 times richer.
Over the years, the duo has changed how they manage ‘Thirty AF’ because of how time-intensive it is.
“Much of the content that we post is submitted by creators. We love meeting creators and comedians who are new to Instagram and helping drive traffic to their pages; we have networked with a ton of incredibly talented creators over the years and share their content a lot,” they said.
“We keep a close eye on meme trends and will often share roundups of the funniest memes and tweets related to trending topics. We're also part of a lot of online groups, particularly for millennials and different nostalgia groups, and a lot of content comes from there. We also create a lot of original content mostly for our stories and TikTok," they told Bored Panda.
Level 11: write “cross this off,” somewhere in the middle of the list.
I put: take laundry to laundry room, wash laundry, dry laundry, fold laundry, and put away laundry as all different things on my todo list :))
I also suggest adding "take laundry out of the washing machine" and "put laundry in the dryer", since I myself sometimes completely forget about the former (no dryer, so at least cannot fail the latter).
Load More Replies...Husband’s daily to-do list always starts with: Sh*t, Shower, Shave.
Sounds like my retiree morning routine, and if I'm dressed, teeth brushed, and grooming completed by 11a, I can cross off half my mental list, but wouldn't dare go to the store without a handwritten list, seems easier for me than a digital grocery list, some habits die hard
Retirement is its own strange game - daily I have to revisit the rules. I applaud you for achieving my entire daily goal by... 11 AM!
Load More Replies...Screw ro do lists if it's up to me I'd burn the dam list and sleep all day.
i feel it would be inappropriate to burst out in “PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWS” in the middle of a funeral but f**k the patriarchy
Better than having everyone crying over grandma suddenly hear your phone bust out with, "LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR".
Load More Replies...Life tip: Make calls you don't want to answer your favorite songs as ringtones, so you want to keep listening to the song, and make ringtones or people you need to answer(even if you don't want to) your least favorite song, so you rush to answer it.
Oh that reminds me of the truck that used to drive around the neighborhood playing music. My parents and my brother and sister and I would always get up and dance a little bit while it played until it drove out of the neighborhood. That was so much fun.
My ringtone….. Metallica. Enter Sandman. Not the song you want to hear at a funeral lol
Walgreens now requires you to put the damn thing in upside down. It's absurd.
The 5-year-old ringing me up at Safeway was incredulous. "Did you just SWIPE your card?!?" And I'm 38 and I'm still learning about chips and I'm the youngest person in line and I notice all of the people behind me are watching this closely because they don't want to be similarly victimized by this baby genius...
Well, what you need to do is send your card into another dimension, where you have to get it to the overlord in that demension, who will scan it with his alien eyes, which will create a floating number infront of your eyes, then you have to memorize that number in 5 seconds (and it's a really long number like 20197872972979173927), then you have to read it to whoever is asking for money 3 times over so that they can put it in the machine, then you'll get a confirmation email, which you click yes on, then you paid for your thing. Also, if you're buying more then 3 things, you need to do it for each individual thing. Also the code is diffrent every time.

The ‘Thirty AF’ team finds a ton of ways to keep their audience engaged and having fun. "Followers apply to be featured as our daily single looking for love.

There's also the semi-regular Small Business Saturday feature where Chloe and Peter share the businesses they love, as well as holiday gift guides. "We have a lot of friends who are business owners and have so much respect for millennials who have decided to reject the corporate hustle and create their own businesses, so helping support people like that, especially businesses run by women and BIPOC is super important to us,” Chloe and Peter noted that, from time to time, they share the businesses they love on their Small Business Saturdays.
Different people are allowed to want different things. No matter which direction you play the movie, the person at the start is not satisfied with their life somehow.
The joke is that it's the same in every single one of these movies. Dozens and dozens of them. But w/e, harsh on it all you want.

Load More Replies...This is inspiring... I want to see a cheesy Christmas movie where a woman does something like this, only she ends up dumping her shitty-a*s family, making a bunch of friends and doing the holidays Friendsgiving-style, and running a corporate Christmas store chain so she can spread tinsel to everyone. They can call it the Spirit of Christmas, and the company she runs is the Christmas equivalent of Spirit Halloween.
Hallmark fails to know the truth, most of us are content with the ugly sweater and loser spouse
Better than watching the Lifetime channel for women where the movies are all about women surviving getting beaten. Can you imagine that one in reverse?
Kinda. People who are beaten in relationships were one upon a time not in that abusive relationship, then end up in it somehow, stuck there. Some never leave. There's the reverse.

Some of the memes that resonate the most with their audience include self-deprecating humor that millennials can definitely relate to, commenting on issues like the state of the economy, and finding humor in challenging issues like dealing with anxiety and depression.
This is definitely one of my top concerns about my ability to survive a zombie apocalypse or other dystopian future.
Anyone else look up their glasses prescription just in case we're on the run from zombies and need to stop by an optometrist's office and grab a couple of spares? When I'm on an epic trek across the deserted wasteland, I fully intend to loot every pair of glasses I can lay my hands on.

My eyesight is terrible. I always imagined my previos life in the Middle Ages as living in a filth-filled gutter, begging for food and waiting to die in childbirth.
Question for my fellow myopics; Colours are dimmer with glasses on, right? I take mine off and, okay the world goes blurry, but colours are wild and not having various things reflected an inch in front of my eyes is living the dream. Anyway, is it just me or do we all suffer a duller world?
I think that may be a perceived aberration caused by unfocused colors merging together (like a kaleidoscope). Glasses shouldn't normally diminish the colors in your world. Actually, it should be just the opposite...

Hourly wages have been relatively stagnant since Ronald Reagan, while CEO pay went from 40 times the corporation's lowest wage to 400 times.
I feel like I should point out that 30+ percent of the population was unemployed, thus excluded from the Depression calculation. It is bad today, but not 1/3 of the population without work bad.
This is the Greater Depression. Eventually, if our government keeps abusing us, we will get to the Greatest Depression. I can't wait, it's going to be so great!
But part of that was that house pricess fell to the ground as few could afford them - everyone without cash wanted to sell to raise cash, so NOT the current situation....yet....
Average homes in the Great Depression were much less complex than today. No air conditioning, dish washers, 2 car garage, etc. etc. Probably less square feet as well.
However, it’s posts about nostalgia for the ‘90s and 2000s that really gets people’s attention. "The past few years have been really weird and stressful for everyone, and looking back on the comfort of these things that we all bonded over as kids has provided a lot of comfort and connection during these turbulent times," they told Bored Panda.
"We really do try to read every message we get and reply when we can, and one of my favorite types of messages is a 'PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who remembers [insert obscure TV/music/product/game reference from the ‘90s]' type of message and this always gives us ideas for posts and features. So much of the ‘90s feels like a bizarre fever dream, and being able to connect with other people in an 'OMG I remember that too!' moment is such a fun and, not to sound cheesy, wholesome way to connect," the duo said.

My dad drove trucks for a food/beer company. I used to call into dispatch and the dispatchers would relay messages between us.
In 2020 I realized that a large part of my depression came from the White House resident and his sycophants. It was like my mind refused to accept the fact that guy represented all of us. Then Covid came and made everything worse. I watched POTUS ask a scientist about their ongoing research about injecting bleach and using UV light inside one's body. If you told me that in the 90s I would have laughed so hard...

We “can’t” do something about a ‘barrage’ of poop news about things outside our control? Ugh, yeah.Yeah we definitely can. And if it’s gotten to the point we feel “burnt out”, not only can we, we SHOULD.

Be more serious. Whatevs. Either way, FIND a way to balance it out. Eh. A suggestion.

I remember doing this! Well, not for popsicles, but I also use to dial my mom's work, get to reception, and ask to speak to my mom. Was the only way to reach her.
I legit called my mom's work and asked for her because my dad was in the emergency room having a heart attack and the b!tch who answered the phone said she was busy and offered to take a message... After much yelling and some cursing, she finally got off her @$$ and got my mom on the phone (she didn't want to because she actually had to walk down the hall to go get her and that was too much work for her apparently).

At 28 I coughed and broke a rib. About 2 weeks into healing I raised my arm to wash my hair in the shower and the rib slipped out of place again. The painkillers gave me sores in my esophagus. Worst pain ever - way worse than labour and giving birth. I've had 2 major surgeries that took less time to heal too.
Worst thing is that dislocated rib will continue to dislocate randomly now, because it has before. My chiropractor is _very_ familiar with my chronically dislocating rib. Luck, sister.

I bought the more expensive windscreen wipers for my new car. When I buy a car I’d normally be looking for something to improve my new toy, be it a better set of speakers, something to make it unique, maybe add a nice Magic Tree or a set of mats.

Too many people thinking it can all be solved by working harder and making more sacrifices of the little bits of joy we hold in the world. 8 hours is already 1/3 of the day how much more time do we need to give up to make a dollar? Work an hour to make $15 to buy a $5 coffee today because it gives me something to look forward to and a home in the area isn't going to cost less that $200k and a 20% down payment is $40k, or can give up coffee and have enough for that down payment in 21 years. i also enjoy Netflix because it's the only tv I have so let's get rid of that too at $15 per month now it will only take 19.95 years to get that down payment. Guess I can also give up eating out once every other week and save another $20 by eating the same penny saving meals I usually do but now we're getting somewhere cause it will only take 15.8 years to save up that down payment now. These "experts" want to act like we live in excess wehen we're just trying to live at all.

This one really hits home. I had taken anti-depressants for a couple years, but they didn't seem to do much more than make me never hungry. At my checkup, my doctor asked me if I had any other concerns, and I half-jokingly said that I'm having trouble dealing with the *gesturing broadly at the state of the world* "GENERALIZED ANXIETY" and to my surprise, she prescribed me an anti-anxiety medication. It was a night-and-day difference. We don't talk enough about the symptoms of anxiety, which I definitely hadn't recognized in myself. I've learned you really have to advocate for yourself if you want real results.
Doctor lied and she was lied to it's a vicious circle you broke, enjoy the pills
The real question is "how often is considered too often?" Because my depression and anxiety sit at about 6 most days and randomly ramp up to 11 at least once a week

Vacation is where you imagine you magically win a $400 million lottery, live an easy, breezy life spending your days leisurely, and go to bed in your multimillion dollar home.
That's why my traveling life goals have gone down to 0 during the last few years. I'll take nature near me as often as possible and internet for daydreaming. The logistics and stress of planning my "perfect" vacation are not worth it, especially since that "perfection" is only in my head due to anticipation dopamine rush. So not worth the hassle of seeing some places where people flock like lunatics or, if going off-season, having way less than ideal weather - even for me who enjoys bad weather - and less offers to choose from. I want an adventure, I go into the city 13km from me and treat it like a vacation, I get the exact same dopamine rush minus the stress. Want more, go Google-map traveling and photo searching.
I worked just as hard on vacation as at home. The chores were a bit different but just as much work. PLUS I had to double check everyone else to make sure nothing got left behind.
I don’t vacation much, but living in a landlocked state, family vacations equaled going to the beach

Okay. That's super cool that you were able to do that, but calling people lazy for not being able to do that is absolutely ridiculous and childish. Aside from mental health issues which one cannot control that truly devastate lives, there are countless reasons why someone wouldn't be able to save money like that. You know, like having kids, financially supporting family members you love who need you, needing to eat food they actually pay for since their job doesn't provide them with free meals, etc. Super cool you didn't have any life burdens holding you back but blanket statements like that are messed up and pretty shitty to do.
Load More Replies...i have a brain that i like to think of as a mix between both, but just seems like a car crash to anyone else.
Load More Replies...The way that my brain does budget (I'm 16) is that every time I get paid, I round my money down 100 and whatever extra that I have remaining is my spending money (let's say I have $769, i round it to $700 so I have $69 in spending money until I get paid again) and if I want to save up for something that I want but don't need (sewing machine) I save up that rounded money until I get enough by tracking it in a notebook. But all of those $100s are saving up for a car and an apartment not even a computer. The computer is a want, not a need. It's also saving up for transitioning surgery because I can't go my whole life without at least top surgery. But anyways, that's just how I save my money and it works so well for me.

If you’ve never served on a jury before, you might not get this, but it is 100% accurate! I’m still mad about all the things I had to go through during jury duty with a “group of my peers.” Lol

I don't floss because I manage to hurt my gums every single time. And yet, no cavities in 34 years. Proud of my teeth :)
I feel you. And I hear the sad "Taps" playing. RIP Blockbuster. You used to rent out Rainbow Brite vhs and Gameboy color games and had awesome lights around your windows. Now you become a phone store and then an insurance place. *wipes nostalgic 90s tear from eye.*
and then a Car Toys and now it’s a Subway *sniff* (it’s low key kinda cool tho that those of us old enough can point out exactly where they used to be)

I would be excited about this... but filled with ever-increasing dread of actually having to attend. Can't help it.
Shall we skip? Used to get called weird for holding hands with a male coworker and skipping down the corridor. Saw him in a park years later and shouted out "Shall we skip?" he shouted back "Yes we shall" and we skipped/lurched towards each other grinning like loons
i wonder what this strange blurred out word is if only i could see it because it’s badly censored woe is me perhaps it is “firetruck”
A word that begins with "F" and ends with "uck"... Firetruck.

I recall loving summer as a child. Utterly my favorite time of the year. Now I loathe it. Mosquitoes and under-boob sweat and having to actually keep my legs shaved so I can wear shorts without looking like someone glued the bottom half of a werewolf to the top half of a human.
Sounds about right, considering how that season seems to get more and more murderous every year :(
My mother had to help with the harvest in summer, and still likes it. I think it's just hormonal.
As a German...what is that sentence? "Ich fühle mich genug besucht."? Never heard that before
Maybe it's regional? I could not think of anything either, however, a friend of mine used to say: "Willst du schon gehen, Gott sei Dank? Bleib doch noch, um Himmels Willen!"
Load More Replies...To my knowledge German and Finnish are the only languages that also have a word for the joy of other's misfortune.
You can also change to pyjamas and start yawning at your guests. No words necessary.
Unless it's before 5pm. Then again, if you have the courage, go for it.

I sing "come on elphie, let's go potty" to get our dog elphie to her biz when I let her out. Yet somehow I can't sing it in any other voice than the cheery, over produced mouse voice the chick in the original song had... Even tho that wasn't her part, which I'm only just now realizing... The 90's are apperently still a mild source of trauma for some of us.
You're right. You can say a little bit of money by not buying shirts and that sounds like a place to start.
I mean, that’s always an option but “until (you) die” is a fairly large variable based largely upon previous jobs that can provide something to lie upon other than sunlight, sand, and sea water…
Or you spend so much time shopping and putting away all the new stuff you just bought and you're tired so you just order out...
Or on the way home you decide that's not really what you want for dinner anyway and McDonald's is right there...
It's 10 Things I Hate About You, but I have no idea how it's supposed to be related to the casting observation
Load More Replies...Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Gabrielle Union... Also Allison Janney, Larry Miller... Loved the movie! Watched it several times with my bestie, good times!
Born in the 70s. Kids. The girl in the middle is Clarissa Explains It All. No idea who the rest of the chumps are. Or what the film is.
Nop, the blond girl is not Melissa Joan Hart, but can't remember the actress's name. The movie is called 10 things I hate about you. They were super young, but top right is Heath Ledger (the Joker in The Dark Knight) and bottom left in a black shirt, Joseph Gordon Levitt (Inception). Hope this helps

Load More Replies...When I thought that nothing can beat string bikini bottoms in being more uncomfortable and requiring to have perfectly smooth buttocks to look good... someone came up with the "Brazilian cut" design. It's like having a permanent wedgie that shows your cellulite at the same time.
I didn't even know they remade it - I take it this isn't the 1961 film?
It was the one with Lindsay Lohan from the 90s. I prefer the 60s version though. And it takes two with the Olsen twins was just odd.
Load More Replies..."Miss I'lljusthavehalfagrapefruitthanks." I love when she gets drifted into the lake and when they gave her sugar water "repellant" to keep the mosquitos away. But I liked the original better.
She was the step mum in the great film The Parent Trap! A classic of it's time and well worth a watch!

And a stiff breeze will cause you to expire from exposure and fright.
"She's medically upset. She needs seagull sounds, gray air, and long, rocky walks."
And we're surprised at the general distrust of medical professions when so many of us grew up playing "Operation" lol
Yeah well we had a game where you pressed on an alligator's teeth until its entire jaw came down on your fingers so I'm not sure what your complaint is

My husband still gets a plaster (bandage) after a blood test with a smiley face on it!
Yeah I want a plastic ring 💍 that I can lose later on in the day 😉
The hygienist at the family dentist is super chill and will give anyone a sticker if they are nervous.
Yes please, and let's expand on it more. Gen Z has to write a good book report using only library books, Gen X has to dress up and go party for 7 hours straight. Let's get everyone in on the fun! We could have a roulette wheel choosing a generation and an activity!
Whoa now, Monday. I didn't dress up and party for 7 hours when I was young. I partied REAL hard for two hours. On the plus side I can write a bibliography like a champ.
Load More Replies...Gen X here, I can do all those things. Why are we not in charge? When are the boomers actually going to retire??
In the UK we have already had "The Generation Game" and "It's a Knockout". Humiliating families and teams for decades. Do you want to dress as a budgie, walk along a perch and dive off trying to headbut a bell? Try to keep plates spinning on long sticks?
A friend of mine once posted "Due to the lack of Cicadas in our state, I think we should all do our part to support the environment by climbing a tree and screaming"
YES me too I don't deserve the people who I love and who somehow love me
Back in the day, our anxiety came from the sound of our drunk, abusive fathers' cars pulling into the driveway.
There was quick sand on every corner and lighting would definitely kill you through the phone line if you used the phone during a thunder storm.
Eh, Finnish children were scared by Näkki. An evil water spirit that drowns children who swim alone for too long. Why were children scared with folk tales even in the 80s?
imagine not being the target audience to watch music and grown up toddlers play with a weird a*s ball, where they are paid MILLIONS, by LITTERALY NOWON!!!!!!!!!! where does the money come from?????
I find it ridiculous that these people are paid millions of dollars to run a ball back and forth across a field when there are millions of people in the US that are starving, can barely afford to live, drowning in medical and student loan debt, and have no healthcare. But that's just me.

Ahh yes Julia Stiles…. Did anyone watch Save the Last Dance over and over just to fast forward to the cool part where she does her audition dance? Guilty.
Lol not me in September. And if you ordered them by a certain date this year you get something free. I'm getting earbuds. It comes in within the next two weeks
I graduated in '75, my parents asked if I wanted the ring or a party. PARTYTIME!!!
Duplicate. But maybe the last part is relevant too. Lol it is for me.
