▲ 165 ▼ The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones (programming.dev) submitted 1 year ago by ICastFist@programming.dev to c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world 37 comments fedilink hide all child comments Double edged sword, since it's good that we can actually remember said experiences and maybe pass the wisdom down.
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Almost all the new experiences suck, too. Like pains you never felt before, in places you've never felt pain before. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MangoCats@feddit.it 1 point 1 year ago Pain I can manage. It's the loss of senses that really sucks for me in old age. I used to have 20/10 eyesight, this crap they implant for cataract repair may be 20/20, but it's the suckiest 20/20 I have ever experienced. Hearing is getting muffled, smell comes and goes... if I live to be 150, I don't want to do it "locked in" a sensory deprivation box. permalink fedilink source parent
