Why make stuff up? I never mentioned I’m 17. Even back on my 1st account I shared that my username is birthflower+birthyear, and talked about my birthday bash in February. And clarified in that Brad Pitt post how I calculated the age gap. I literally never claimed this pic is mine…? I just share what I come across and find funny and interesting. My post history is out in the open and I said I’m on a solo trip with 2 guys tagging along from the beginning, never with my parents.
I get that some of you don’t like my content but lying like this in order to discredit me for some reason is wild af. And people wonder why I delete my account.
I feel this. Theres a lot of hostility here on Lemmy sometimes. People say it’s just as bad as Reddit but imo it can be a lot worse. It’s shame because I really want the fediverse to grow, but this seems like a silent hurdle hindering that growth (how many newbies delete their account before even getting that active? Anecdotally it seems like a high percentage). Even just pointing out that some people on Lemmy have behavioural issues can attract derision (I fully expect downvotes for this comment, for example). People here seem unwilling to face this problem
Everyone knows that if you post an image with funny text you must have personally taken the photo and be present in the given situation. Nobody takes images they find from other people and just posts them.
Also, I found my first account archived on some random instance by Googling and you can see me talk about my birthday / my (then) future solo trip, lol:
I might not like your content. I also don’t hate it.
However your content is better than no content. Please keep doing what you do. I don’t want to go out and touch grass because lemmy has no content anymore.
About a week ago you certainly did mention that you were 17 cuz I called you out on it. You said that you always had a crush on older guys and you said that you really like Brad Pitt and that you are 45 years younger than him and looking at his age and putting you that would make you 17. You argued that you only did it based off of the year minus his birth year or some stupid way to do math. But trying to say bullshit that you weren’t saying that you were 17 is something else.
this is a straight up lie as i never even stated my age in that post. i only said i have a crush on Brad Pitt who’s 45 years older than me cause he’s born in 1963 and I’m born in 2008, which is how most people simplistically calculate age gaps. again, why lie?
This person’s super sleuthing of your post history is weird and kind of creepy. I believe you, and the other dude’s insistence that you’re a secret 17 year old is bizarre. It’s usually best to leave people like that alone because they are unlikely to concede even if you provided proof.
Also, Brad Pitt is pretty endearing on screen, for sure.
really? most people calculate: he’s x years, x months, x weeks, x days, x hours, x minutes, x seconds older/younger than me? in a casual, informal setting? never seen that. even when people talk about an event: oh, WW2 ended 81 years ago (cause it was 1945 and now it’s 2026).
If I were to say that I were 62 years old and you would say that you’re let’s say 18 years old you wouldn’t say that you are 45 years younger then me. No one calculates age difference based on years born.
Uh…you do if you just google a celebrity’s birth year and subtract it from yours, just like a young woman might do when making a random post about her celebrity crush.
Your posts in this thread have been kind of intrusive and inappropriate in my opinion. Maybe it’s best to just drop it. It isn’t that important how she calculates year gaps.
I don’t know how you’ve made it this far in life without realizing this, but other people don’t act and think about things exactly the same way you do. I have totally done the year subtraction to calculate an age gap before, so that makes at least two people in the world who have done the thing that you think is totally inconceivable.
Lol @ calling other people lazy for expecting you to have proof for your accusations, you’re definitely lying and it’s definitely because women won’t fuck you
Omg, that’s the funniest shit ever. Gotta be one of the most awful takes on the Internet today. Go ahead, try to insult me again instead of looking for yourself. Go ahead.

Did you end up coming over here? I’m in China right now, was in Japan a month ago.
ended up going to Vietnam. next week I’m leaving for another country. don’t know which one yet tho, lol.
Oh lol I’m returning to vietnam next week. Can’t wait to get back on a motorbike.
As much as I love China Japan is a lot easier to solo if you can’t speak Mandarin
Anything’s possible when you make stuff up!
I was 17 for a whole year
If it was a leap year it was a year minus a day.
I might not like your content. I also don’t hate it.

Don’t worry about the haters. Lemmy needs content, and yours is fine.

I mean, most people do the actual math and not just calculate a birth year.

No you don’t. You Google someone’s age, you don’t Google their birth year unless you have something specific you are looking for.

So you’ve got nothing, big shock
Fuck you go find your own shit. Lazy fucking people.
