- It's for their safety. At that age the might build a sentient robot that votes for Trump who will then take away their social security. Thank you Lego, for responsible toy stewartship.
+1 for the double entendre title 😄
- Thanks, I was proud of that.
  
  As well you should be 😄🤜
  
  Pardon my ignorance - what's 'play with my nuts' a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?
Do YOU want to tell Jimmy Carter what he can and can't play with?

I didn't think so.
- What's he gonna do? Beat me up?
  
  This is how you get Isekai's to the peanut farmer world.
  
  He's still got the nuclear codes.
- I would
I find "LEGOs" very upsetting.

Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.

Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.

"You can't play with Lego anymore."
- fuck that. Lego is a company and I don't need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don't like it they can suck my dick.
  
  I really don't understand why there are so many people passionate about how to "properly" use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®
  
  just play with your Legos and get over it
  
  I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

  Actually, they are advocating against using it how the Lego company does. The Lego company uses LEGO in all caps.
  
  Brought to you by the folks behind "Get Off That Nintendo and Go Outside" while you were PC gaming. Lol :p
- Lmao Legos adults
- LEGO is too an acronym. it stands for Leg Godt, Danish for "play well"
  
  That's...not an acronym. That'd just be LG.
- Lego deez nuts ha gottem
  
  Hmm. Sorry bout that. What were we talking about?
- It's actually an angry shout
- Lego my eggo
- Language is flexible. Deal with it.
  
  You called down the ire of practitioners of the dark arts known as prescriptivism.
- In my word, you put Lego Men in your Lego creations. No LEGOs, no minifigs [the Lego Men that are female are Lady Lego Men], and no sets.
  
  The whole 'you make the rules' aspect of the toy has been lost in a dozen licensing agreements.
- Jackal.
Sorry Jimmy, it's Mega only for you now
- Probably not, cause they'll make some decent sets and then send then send them to a random Walmart in bumfuck Idaho and nowhere else, unless you want to pay 4x the price on Amazon.
  
  Honestly I think Mattel don't want to be in the brick business sometimes.
At least he still has 37 years to play with a Koosh ball
- Jeez. Even my dog who loved her Koosh ball was only 98 in dog years when she died. They're apparently making them for tortoises.
There is actually an official clarification from LEGO that the 99 years is definitely not a hard upper limit.
- No one is getting hard at 99.
  
  Not since Roz passed last year anyway
- I don't know whether that's funny or sad.
This meme made me sad.
Over a 100 years old, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You're gonna throw him in jail? He doesn't even know if he'll live for another hour.
I mean, his are probably hanging so low by now that they make legitimately enjoyable fidget toy.
- Wtf.
Conspiracy theory time: maybe they hate old people…
I'm certain that Jimmy Carter has every reason to be satisfied with the amount he's built.
Fuck those Vikings, Jimmy! You go ahead and build that AT-AT.
you can never be too old for legos
- You need to be between 4-99 years of age
- Do I pay attention to you or the box? Because I sure don't want to be the one who kills Jimmy Carter by giving him Minecraft Legos.
