Reply to TIL that due to "Subjective Age" most children and adolescents feel older than they really are. But this switches at around 25. By age 30, around 70% of people feel younger than they really are, with the discrepancy between actual age and subjective age growing over time. by AspireAgain

Except in r/nevergrewup where everyone's subjective age is much younger. It's often caused by trauma.

Reply to TIL the Futurama theme song is considered a variation of a 1967 song called "Psyché Rock" by french composer Pierre Henry, which in turn is based on the well known 1966 song "Wild Things" by the Troggs. by NoxDominus

I always thought it sounded like Fatboy Slim's Psyche Rock. I didn't realize it was a cover.

I can now imagine the Troggs, (Troglodytes) as musicians inside Futurama episodes, it'd certainly be 'Wild'

What in the gnostic/hermetic contortion is 'subjective age'? Sounds like a mental prison to kick open a pandoras box of child abuse.

Aye. It’s one of our better traits. We take away the terror something instills in us by replacing it with comedy. Thanks for replying to me, hope you have a wonderful day/night.
