Is it weird that the most unrelatable thing here for me is that SongeBob existed when anon was in high school?
Edit: a word
I'm over 30, SpongeBob existed when I was in middle school.
Yeah, I'm over 40. SpongeBob didn't exist when I was in high school.
Hmmm with this we can deduce that SpongeBob was created sometime after 40 year olds went to highschool but before 30 year olds went to highschool 🤔
Welcome to Lemmy! If my comment is what inspired you to join I will be riding that high for a week
I've been on Lemmy since the exodus, but I've gotten into the habit of nuking my account every time I fuck up with some stupid comment.
It's okay to delete comments, I do it all the time. I try to keep a Mr Rogers vibe but if I don't I feel bad, even if I think I'm right.
That's what I do, but I always eventually get paranoid that people will recognize my username and make jokes at my expense. In my mind having a long-term username turns me into a public laughingstock.
SpongeBob first aired in 1999, so if you were born '81 or later, it was probably on when you were in high school. But yeah if you're in your mid-late 40s you would have just missed it.
And you think it's weird that people under 40 are on the internet? I'm almost 30 and SpongeBob has been on since I was in daipers
I mean from what I've seen people under 25 are barely "on" the internet, more like floating through the internet, absorbing content by osmosis.
Uhh, I wouldn't really say that. If you consider what people do on Lemmy to just be "floating through the internet" then I guess that's correct. All of the apps and platforms being used have interactive capabilities to keep the person engaged. They're chatting and emoting more than you think, just not in the same spaces you're occupying.
Yeah I’m Songebob, middle school didn’t exist when I was 30
You must have missed it, cuz you would have been around 15 when it came out
This is where I remind you that 4chan has existed for over 21 years. Meaning that a kid born the day it started operation is now old enough to legally drink in the United States.
1999 grandpa. Anyone born after 1981 will have had the option of SpongeBob. That having been said it wasn't until the mid to late 2010s that I remember seeing grown ass adults obsessed with, and spouting lines from, a children's cartoon from 1999. So mostly 90s kids.
