The Age Thread

I do wonder on occasion if Sega is licensing this specific soundbite out to gas stations. I've noticed that those locations as of late, commonly have the "Sonic collecting rings" bling sound in the background or when their cash register or point of sale system is used.

Okay... what does Sonic have to do with any of this?

It's obviously from Sonic if you recognize the sound in gas stations across the US. And it's quite entertaining to watch footage of people trying to shoplift from those places but getting caught. Always looking up at the cameras and making themselves obvious.

I don't live in the US. Also, what does Sonic have anything to do with this thread?

Oh cool! We’re close. (I’m 13 btw)

I brought it up in my initial post, but I never wanted the thread to turn into a Sonic thread. Saiwania, just move on.

Still to young to care?

Old enough to know I will die but young enough not to believe it.

Oh god I’m theoretically old enough to be your father.

I remember when the kingship descended from heaven, and the kingship was in Eridu, the city built by Enki.

In Eridu, Alulim became the first ensi, and ruled for many years. Uanna-Adapa was the first Apkallu, and though a wise man, he refused the gifts of the gods.

Then Alalĝar became the second ensi, and he also ruled for many years. Uanduga was the second Apkallu.

Then the city fell and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira, and the Black-Headed People of Eridu wept bitter tears.

I’m 38. Chronologically, if not mentally.

You’re old enough to be the father to most of NSG arch.

So you’re old enough to be my grandfather?

Nation States from time to time has an age thread. One former poster did it every 9 months or so. They liked to see if there were changes in the user base. The general consensus is the median age is around 17.

I must say that I am surprised by the poll results so far. I was pretty sure that teenagers would have made up the majority rather than the plurality of forum members.

Oh, quite sufficient.
