This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said, 'Here's a picture of me when I was younger.' Every picture is of you when you were younger." - Mitch Hedberg perforrming at Strategic Grill Locations, 1999

Anyway, this post is definitely mildly interesting. Thank you.

Here's a picture of me when I'm older.

You son-of-a-bitch! How'd you pull that off? Lemme see that camera... What's it look like?

Somewhat depressing, what 60-70-ish years does to us, and it's ridiculously little time in grand scheme of things.

I had the opposite reaction! I loved seeing the story of their lives - happy, sad, concerning - written on their faces. And some of these folks definitely aged into a better face than they started with.

Depressing? The alternative is worse.

Old age is a gift that some never enjoy.

Life is temporary, farts are forever.

I'm not scared of aging, I'm scared of being unable to recognize myself in the mirror...

Horrible fact. Alzheimers paitents can also forget that they have eaten and will eat everything they have in the house.

Or forget that they have already fed pets.

Really incredible to see these snap shots of people’s lives. To think whole families, great days, and tragedies all sprung up around these people in the time span. Life is a mysterious journey.

You can sort of tell which ones are going to go bald by their hair

They've obviously all changed but the lady third from bottom is almost unrecognisable.

The fifth one after getting old: :|

The second from bottom on the left kinda looks like one of the Kray twins

It's got that "Dark" vibe. I can even hear the music.
