syntaxrigger posted:Is that just hyberbole or can office chairs really smell like farts? I ask because I have no sense of smell. idk if farts, specifically, are the concern just generally office furniture is exposed to sweat and the gunge on your clothing and food and other things and cleaned infrequently we joke about farts but i really don't want to re-use upholstery that's been on an office chair for 10 years, you know?

syntaxrigger posted:What age range is middle aged? I have heard more than one opinion on this. in canada, based on statscan data of population distribution it looks like 35-54 is a pretty safe range for middle-aged (31.1% of the population). you could argue that 45-64 is a more modern/practical take on it that better reflects lifestyle

we took our (then only) son to disney world early last year and when we were at the daily morning show thingy at the castle there was this full grown woman dressed all up like some disney princess, standing right in the front row, gazing up at mickey just waiting to be noticed by cartoon senpai. her weird boyfriend/companion/whatever looked like the "it's tape" kid, only 30 years older. it was powerful.

imo middle aged is when you become jaded at life after realizing this is it from now on and midlife crisis is when you do some stupid yolo poo poo to make yourself feel young again or to recapture some ‘living’ you feel like you missed out on when you were young

rotor posted:if your response was "wtf no" then you're young. That makes sense. I always thought it was an actual number like 40+ or something i.e. "over the hill" but it makes sense being 'middle aged' is about as definable as generation "theory" Uptime Sinclair posted:depends on country and the source of info imo I appreciate this and it is roughly how I thought about it which is why I was curious if there was something somewhere I didn't know.
