    It’s because we’re old. I was hit hard with the realization the other day, that I’m not the target audience of this product anymore. Does anyone else have trouble remembering that they’re not a kid? I’m like 30 years old, and I do not identify as an adult

      I’m in my 20s and I don’t really feel like an adult (I don’t know how to deal with stuff, how to take care of things), but I also don’t feel like a kid, because things targeted at kids don’t appeal to me and I barely keep up with what they’re up to now (is skibidi toilet still funny?)

          Drinks with drugs (yes, sugar and caffeine are drugs. Fight me) targeted at children.

          It’s all crap targeted at children that came out when you were already well into your teens.

          I’m only 46 and most of my coworkers are in their early 20s so by the sake of being surrounded by the youths a lot of my time I am also a youths. I also have no idea what those things are either.

          Just yell at me to get off your lawn already and go back inside and have your metamucil, grandpa.

          Edit: I’m touched that two people stood up for this guy, seeing as I’m about to turn 48 as well (and I’ve been drinking metamucil.)

      I literally am a kid (for a few months anyway) and I don’t feel like I’m the target audience either.
