I'm 40 and my body is literally falling apart and in an hour or so I'm going to my local urgent care for internal bleeding they're probably going to send me to the ER for.

So yeah, these kids were pretty much spot on. No wrinkles though. So I've got that going for me.

Urgent and "in an hour or so" - wait wat? You must be a fellow American. At least we got Freedom tho, right?

Anyway I hope it doesn't turn out to be too serious.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just run of the mill internal bleeding. No big deal.

That's where blood is supposed to be

Totally American.

I've been put through the ringer by the American healthcare system enough already that I wait as long as possible before giving in and getting help. I've been bleeding for a few weeks. It's almost for sure an ulcer. Here's hoping they don't do what they've done in the past, which is mis-diagnose me or make me wait months to see the wrong specialist.

Peptic ulcer is one of the floors of hell that has no end or exits. Got one at 22 years old; best friends still at 47. The magic words to your a primary care Dr is "request an upper endoscopy" and "referral to gastroenterologist".

Ngl, at 40, I had some wrinkles, my first gray hairs were showing up, and I was using a cane

See this is another matter. I don't have wrinkles, but I went gray before I turned 20.

.... ...look here you little shit

I'm reminded of this old Catwoman PS2 game clip.
Anyway, they're not entirely wrong. I doubt I'll live to even 84, so I have passed halfway through life and my whole body hurts when I sleep longer than 7 hours.
So I resonate with the "I know I will die soon" line.

Jesus I wish I was 40 again…

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jesus christ, how much do people smoke in these comments to habe wrinkles in their 30's?! It's completely possible to be wrinkle free at the exact age of 40.

These are... Not inaccurate.

When is this from? When I was the age of the two kids shown, both of my parents were over 40 and I (nor my peers) wouldn't have thought these things. Now I am over 40 and I still don't think these things. I have a niece from a younger sibling who is this age, and she might think these things, but she is also allowed unfiltered access to youtube except when I am around.

I'm close to 40 and I feel like I'm still 20. Sure I sigh every time I sit in my car now and I have some grey hair, but by those kids metrics, I should be with 1 leg into the grave already of old age...
