When I was your age...

Recommended Posts

Back in my day we didn't have bloodsuckers, as a matter of fact we didn't even have blood. If you were cell with a nucleus you were all the rage! For fun we did stuff like cellular respiration and any "bad apples" in the neighbourhood got fagocyted!

Air? Air!? You spoiled youngins! Back in my day, we breathed in carbon dioxide. Everything was working just fine 'till some damned whippersnapper plants started producing oxygen. That stuff's poisonous! No air for us, not any that was breathable anyhow. Almost everyone and everything died. We had to evolve to be able to breathe in your precious "oxygen". When the last time you evolved, sonny? That's right. Never. Now you got your smartphones and interweb to do everything for you.

In my day, there was no carbon dioxide. In fact, the periodic table of elements wasn't even a thing! There were only water, earth, fire and air. And we didn't breathe air, we breathed earth or fire. The fire-breathing people all had to live in volcanoes, which was dangerous since you had to keep from getting burnt, and we're just lucky that we still even have a planet with all the earth-breathing people sucking up all the land.

When I was your age we didn't have fire/earth breathing people! Super powers hadn't been invented yet so we had to pretend that we could do cool stuff. Life was so boring that we spent most of the day sitting in front of computers dreaming our lives away. (and thus the circle was complete xD)

You young'ins got it so easy! When I was your age, sonny, you were lucky if you got executed. Life was pretty miserable, so no one really wanted to live, but you had to pay a bajillion gold coins to stop living. What was life like? Oh, everyone's body was programmed to keep making shoes. Even if you wanted to stop, you couldn't control your body, you just had to keep making shoes. That's how you got paid, though the pay was very little. It was so bad that, as said before, dying was considered a luxury.

Back in my day, dying was really easy. There were suicide booths on every street corner. They only cost a six pence to use too. Were weren't lazy like you kids today. We knew the score. If we were depressed we were going to be executed anyway. We were good samaritans and did it ourselves to have the police the trouble. Nowadays you youngins want everyone to do things for you. Where's the drive? If you want to die get up off your ass and do it yourself!

When I was your age weren't allowed to kill ourself, we would be beaten to death if we ever brought up the subject. You would mercylessly be ground into a pulp and meat your maker if you were suspected of thinking about death! Hell we would even be beaten to death for doing as little as, bringing a forum thread down the dark hallowed sad alleys of the depressed catacombs. You should consider your selves lucky you little runts! :D

When I was your age, everything was dark. Literally. The sun hadn't formed yet. You think winters are cold now, sonny? You don't know what cold is! Sometimes our blood would freeze in our veins! What? That'd kill us? Ha! Maybe it'd kill you little weak bodied runts. We were far tougher back then. When our blood froze, we just jumped into a pool of molten lava to thaw out.

What? 1,600 F is too hot for ya?

When I was your age, there was no ice. Just stagnant water that was 273 K. We even had ice fishing as our only entertainment.

When I was your age, entertainment hadn't been invented yet. Everyone and everything was completely, totally, 100% serious all the time.

Ahhh... Twas a golden age...

In my day, gold didn't exist! We had to settle for copper - the closest thing to it!

Oh please, back in MY day the coppers WERE the robbers, and didn't have to have bodycams to prove it! Everyone knew and was deathly afraid!

Back in my day, there was no RPG Maker, we had to make and play games by drawing stuff on dirt with a stick.

Back in my, day there was no dirt and no sticks. We had to chisel out our games on rock, with our teeth!

When I was your age, my family was so poor we couldn't afford rocks. All the village's rocks had been taken and hoarded by an evil tyrant who had some sort of weird fetish. The tyrant and his lords controlled all the village's wealth and rocks and gave us very little. So little that we could not afford proper dental care and many of us were toothless. It was when things seemed darkest when a glowing light came crashing from the heavens. It was the legendary super saiyan Charizard. We all cheered it, thinking it would be our savior. What fools we were. It destroyed everyone and everything.  Nobody survived. Not even me.

Oh, come on! In my day, there was no Supey Saiyan Charizard! We had to rely on humanity to wipe us all out. Now, us ghosts, phantoms, wraiths and poltergeists are computerized and ever to rarely leave our lovely little virtual world.

When I was your age no one knew what a virtual wolrd was. I still don't. Is that what all the kids mean when they talk about their video boxes and betamaxes and interweb and stuff?

When I was your age, no one knew if we were in a virtual world or a real one! Everyone was scared, because someone who was about to die didn't know if they were only fake dying or dying for real.

Please! Back in my day, there was no dying! We all lived forever until some schmuck angered the gods!

Back in my day, EVERYTHING angered the gods. If you stepped outside, the Grass Goddess would be after you for stepping on grass. But if you stayed indoors, then you'd be the enemy of the God of Physical Activity. And you didn't want to own a dog, or the Cat Goddess would assume you had a thing against her. And if you owned a dog AND a cat, then you were in poor favor with the God of Natural Animal Rivalry.

Well, in my day we knew Gods were a human invention to control other humans!

Hah! In my day, humans didn't invent things. All the inventions were made by animals!
