This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, I'm over 40. SpongeBob didn't exist when I was in high school.

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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
