    I’m over 30, SpongeBob existed when I was in middle 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 🤔

        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.
