Didn't realize he's a Founder.

Odo, when he realizes 95% of the crime on Deep Space Nine is because of Quark.

Wait, Macaulay Culkin is older than me? I somehow feel young. I thought I was older than I must've been when My Girl came out. Awesome!

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My Girl will do that to you. I walked into the theater a 6-year-old boy and walked out an 80-year-old, world-weary war vet, like Matt Damon at the end of Saving Private Ryan.

No shit. The filmmakers were really like, "let's give all these kids a bunch of trauma. Nothing like the sobbing of the under 10 crowd to pump us up!"

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shit, I just rewatched it this past weekend and at 42 years of age it still brought me to tears. Just absolutely losing my shit bawling. Goddammit.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

My sister watched it with her daughter (who I think is like 8). At the end of the film, my sister was in floods of tears, and her daughter was pissing herself laughing.

Running around the house going "His glasses, he can't see without his glasses!", doing the accent and everything.

Tom Hanks in Big vibes.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm here to remind you of those random pains to bring you back to reality when it comes to that whole 'feel young' thing.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What's your address? I just wanna talk...

But literally because my decrepit ass did 4 squats 2 days ago and my thighs still hurt, so it's not like I could fight anyone.

Whew. I thought he was older looking than me when I saw Home Alone at the drive-in.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I thought he was older than me. Now I feel really old.

[–] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Nah bro, he's definitely like 6 or 7 years old.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I didn’t get this because I didn’t know at all who he was. You’re all definitely old.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Don't worry. Your time will come

Edit: I mean hopefully lol

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago

Hey (and I say this with all the love in the world), kindly go fuck yourself.

Now where's my Ovaltine....

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm old, but I still don't know who that person is. I guess I just missed that piece of culture.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have never seen or heard about Home Alone?

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I have. I suppose you're telling me that this is the kid? Fair enough. I don't recognise the picture or the name of the person.

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That is correct. It's okay, recognising Macaulay Culkin isn't a prerequisite, you can still be old with us!

[–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

The first time I saw his name written out, I didn’t recognize it. I’m a few years younger than him with older siblings, so I heard his name before I was conceptualizing spelling and I don’t know what I pictured, but it wasn’t that. I think maybe McCall E. Caulking?

Greatest year ever.

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Omg there are people like me here!

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Am I missing something here?

1990 + 40 = 2030

Unless I woke up 6 years in the future, the math in the pic isn't mathing

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

He was born in 1980

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's about Macaulay Culkin.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, makes sense now, thanks

[–] mayst0ne@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You're thinking of 90s babies, not 90s kids!

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He was 10 in 1990

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

1990 is when the first home alone movie came out

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Fully I was like holy shit shit 1990s kids are 40????? Then remembered I was born in 1992.

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That wasn't so bad. I'm just 3 years older than that child actor that still can grow no real beard. To speak with Doc Holliday: Me? I'm in my prime.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Mac has been on a few things in the last couple years. I recall seeing him on Mark Rober's channel and Angry Video Game Nerd. He's still great.

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 years ago

I apologize in advance for the Tik Tok link but this clip nails this and that's just where it's hosted.
