Did not know this. Don't understand it's concept but good looking out. I was just imagine an otter with dark brown hair. Meh whatever

 

for some reason people born in 96 feel worlds younger than people born in 94, who seem ancient. presumably because i, born in 95, feel like i don't fit in either category as i don't feel young or old, i just am

 

This is an incredible statistic

 

I saw that people born in 94 can drink now and that was weird.

 

I'm a youth

 

Oh sweet lord. Now I need a drink for this fact alone.

 

yeah the idea is it's the skinny, hairy middle ground between bears (bulky, hairy dudes) and twinks (skinny, hairless dudes) but afaik there does not exist a label for bulky, hairless dudes, and obvs labels in generally are not the be-all-end-all and it's not a successfully inclusive system anyway so it's definitely pretty niche haha. just wanted to make sure you didn't give anyone an impression you didn't want to give, obvs makes no difference to me if you think of yourself as an otter in the sense of being a half human otter because otters are wonderful creatures anyway

 

psssssh i've got you beat by like four years

 

I'm almost 22 too

 

Yeah, @Jason Tate, my friend and I drank a pitcher of margaritas each after seeing that. While discussing retirement plans. God, being an adult sucks.

 

if people born in 94 are then at what age do we become ?

 

I think it's more like this:

 

am i understand you correctly if i say that indicates that AP's bulk ppd comes from a "core" group of users who post a ton in the forums, but also features a collection of surface-level users who browse the newsfeed and comment once or twice a day there, while chorus' traffic comes solely from that same core group now directing traffic here? makes sense if so. interesting

 

Better question. At what year are you Balut?

 

Now THIS is a damn great call back.

 

I'd say that stage is like 95-96

 

wait when did AP start??

b/c wikipedia tells me it started in 2000

 

I think your timeline is off @schlotty

 

I started looking at AP in 2008 when I was 14

 

Hahahaah.

I laugh because I know this feeling so well. My sister came over for dinner last week and midway through she said something like "I'm really excited about my new raise, because I got to immediately up the amount I'm putting into retirement each month," and we both looked at each other and started laughing. That feeling of "oh, this is what we talk about as siblings now?" we went from running around the yard pretending to be super-heroes to discussing how much money to put into retirement? We then decided we had to watch some cartoons and Always Sunny and eat too much pizza and candy to make up for our extreme being old adults conversation.

 

I think I found AP when I was in like 8th or 9th grade, so probably in the area of 2009ish.

Never made an account until like 2014.

 

i was a month away from turning 13

literally spent all of my teenage years (so far) on the site, fuck

 

And now your teenage years are almost gone. AP literally ate your teenage years.

 

I joined november '11. So I had turned 15. Before that I spent all my time on world of warcraft sites lol

 

I would say by and large that's true. But if I go back a week and look AP.net was doing the same amount of posts roughly per day, but no one over there knew about this site. So it's still chugging along at the moment, but the engagement here has been off the charts so far. It's been very interesting, and will be even more interesting to run some other numbers in a week or so.

Also makes me way less worried about killing news comments and being worried people wouldn't know what to talk about. Haha.
