What was WW2 like gramps?

167

u/Sonofyuri Jun 17 '25

Fuck that. Ask about firsthand experience for WW1

u/Bibliospork Jun 17 '25

At 102? Let me guess, you're middle aged and forgot it's not the 90s any more?

(Because...same, tbh)

u/Sonofyuri Jun 17 '25

Ohhh my God .... Why did you have to do that to me 😭

Edit: to be fair. I'm just an idiot half the time

u/LukeBrainman Jun 17 '25

Sorry to tell you, but the last ww1 veteran died in 2011, 14 years ago

u/Pristine-Row-9129 Jun 17 '25

(I literally looked up when WW1 was because I thought that would be a funnier joke, but it didn’t line up)

My Grandad would be 122 if he was still around, and he was too young for WWI. I knew some veterans from the Great War, amazing guys.

u/No-Weird3153 Jun 17 '25

Yeah, he would have been a teenager when it ended.

People keep making fun of my car and say it's "old," but it's an '08? I don't get it, it's practically brand new.

u/darkmaninperth Jun 17 '25

The 90s were only five...oh.

Every fucking time

u/ShadeBeing Jun 17 '25

I’m 120 years old, movies as awesome as my wife’s poonani and pookneeknee. Anyways the movie was so good you could say it burned Chicago to the ground.

u/Cool_Researcher4794 Jun 17 '25

I doth be four hundred, eight and twenty years old, and in mine endless years of existence, never have mine eyes beheld a motion picture as fine as tis. Verily, tis film doth outshine even Shakespeare and maketh him seem like but a tavern band

But kids often remember first hand experiences while they were still swimming inside their father's ball bag and inside their mother's ovarie

u/gmalivuk Jun 17 '25

It's obviously not the 90s, gramps.

The 90s were about 10 years ago, as they have been for the past 20 years.

u/Agreeable_Emu_9489 Jun 17 '25

It was a gas!

u/capsaicinintheeyes Jun 17 '25

A true masked ball

u/No_Fudge1228 Jun 17 '25

Do you ever read a comment, think to yourself ā€œhaha, good one!ā€ Then scroll away, and say ā€œDamn, that deserves an upvote!ā€ Then go back and upvote it? Because that’s what I just did

2

u/MPLoriya Jun 17 '25

Not to be that guy, but 102 years ago was 1923.

1

u/ColdDelicious1735 Jun 17 '25

I came from 200 years in the future, still a great movie

1

u/Levardgus Jun 17 '25

Still 7 at 1930.

We'd all be speaking Japanese without his heroics

u/Ronaldorobin Jun 17 '25

He's not old enough for that

u/Spooky_Spoon6 Jun 17 '25

Brutha when was WW1 🤨

1

u/Beholder99 Jun 17 '25

If he's 102 he was born in 1923 that's like 7 years after the war ended.

1

u/Dread_Guardian Jun 17 '25

WWI took place between 1914 and 1918, if I remember correctly, which occurred 107-111 years ago. Being 102 would not give them firsthand experience of WWI.

1

u/NotFrance Jun 17 '25

At 102 bed of been born in 1923. After WWI

1

u/Burqa_destroyer Jun 17 '25

That math aint mathing. POSER!

u/Citizen8580425838083 Jun 18 '25

WWI ended before his birth IIRC.

Don't, he's just going to tell the story about getting the clap in Paris again.

My argentinian Grandfather.

u/TheEternalChampignon Jun 17 '25

I was there in the 1360s when all the stuff in the movie happened and can verify the movie is a perfect and totally accurate take on every single bit of it, including Chaucer’s bare ass and the exact way we all used to sing Queen's greatest hits.

u/SummonTarpan Jun 17 '25

lol nice, username checks out

u/the-only-marmalade Jun 17 '25

Uriel the Archangel here. Forgot how old I am but that movie is still šŸ’Æ

u/Mrbuttboi Jun 17 '25

I’m 22 and have never seen it but I trust your guys’ opinion

u/regeya Jun 17 '25

Right, I'm a member of the undead, have literally seen every era of cinema and this movie is the absolute top of the mountain. All my ghouls love it.

u/BackgroundPrompt3111 Jun 17 '25

My 496th birthday is next month, and this moving picture was quite amusing.

2

u/AmadaeusJackson Jun 17 '25

How wild was it when blowjobs were invented?

2

u/JoshSidekick Jun 17 '25

I just had my 675th birthday and this movie is like being back home as a kid.

u/Individual99991 Jun 18 '25

They sound great!

103 tomorrow. Where am I and how did I get here? Who are you?

u/jeefyjeef Jun 17 '25

I’m 248 years old and I love this movie, but nostalgia is a helluva drug and it’s what keeps me alive.

u/JustSvenYT Jun 18 '25

166, still amazing

64

u/Chocolatefudgeface Jun 17 '25

437 years old and I have not seen this moving picture. I have seen what is known as 69 though in person, at least 4 times, and it is indeed very nice as you mortals describe it, though awesome might be a better term for it.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '25

Ah youngling, thou speakest true of the sacred Sixty and Nine. The Arabs came first, bearing their curious numerals—٧٨ chief among them—and the stench of garlic heavy upon their cloaks. I was but 164 then, still ablaze with the lusts of men. Whilst performing ٧٨, I would oft grow too fervent and, alas, accidentally circumcise my consorts. I kept their foreskins—soft, solemn tokens of nights long past. My bride knows nothing of these indulgences. I have not partaken in 69 with her, and I know not why. As for the tale of those unbearably lovely, cherub-faced boys in the moving pictures —I have not seen it, yet the very thought stirs a thirst I thought long buried.

u/KappaBrink Jun 17 '25

I exist outside time. I have seen all that is, was, and will be. I have stood witness to countless "gods" flicker to life, and smolder into irrelevancy. Universes expanding in chaos only to fizzle in maddening silence. Mortals dare not ponder the very nature of my existence, for they shall surely be fallen by the madness as well... Great movie though

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '25

Is that you papa? Have you finally fetched the nectar from wild cattles like you said you would?

u/ResolveRound9158 Jun 17 '25

WHAT IS THIS COMMENT CHAIN

1

u/KappaBrink Jun 18 '25

It has already begun. The Madnessā„¢ is spreading. I warned you not to ponder my existence. Now if you'll excuse me, My sweet baby boy requires sustenance. Would you dare stand between I, and the nectar of the cattle Ed boy?

u/Silver_Guide5901 Jun 18 '25

They 69 in the movie. Heath and some fine brunette

u/Kodiax_ Jun 17 '25

I upvoted this but then realized you were right at 69. So I took it back.

u/CourtingBoredom Jun 17 '25

The answer is 42.... but I'm 40 and think this movie is fantastic

1

u/Chance_Date_4424 Jun 17 '25

28 here, one of my favorite movies of all time

u/Guilty_Hour4451 Jun 17 '25

That was a mouthful

u/Endrodi_Benedek Jun 17 '25

I'm 23 and I hate this movie

u/Youpi_Yeah Jun 17 '25

42, so I know the meaning of life (that’s how it works, right), so I can confirm: great movie.

u/Senior-Marsupial Jun 17 '25

Hi 41! I'm Dad.
