I'm too old and millennial to understand a single word in that post.

the mountains of Carthage

Ah yes, they mounted their elephants there, teleported to the Alps, and charged down towards Rome.

Technically, any group of six or more elephants is considered a Carthage.

For anyone confused: Carthage is flat and currently a suburb of Tunis, Tunesia

Hannibal is frightened by the images he saw in his dreams: A face sticking out of a white throne.

"We're attacking the wrong city boys, turn around. Carthage may yet be spared."

Well... I'm pretty sure they mentioned Rome at least once.

I’m not just getting old, right? That kid is like 14? He’s not like 20 and 20 year olds just look like babies to me now, right? Right?

nah I am 18, dude really looks like a 14 year old

Dude, that part sneaks up on you fucking fast. I can no longer tell the difference between someone in their late teens, and someone who's like 27. It's crazy how much of an indicator crows feet are, and how quickly the age brackets outside of yours start to blur together.

Remember when you were 15 and anyone 30-65 all looked the same mostly? It's like that but in fucking reverse and not fucking funny.

In unrelated news, I've started taking a fibre supplement.

Oh good, yeah, fibre is important. How's the joint pain?
