Are you old? Hard to say sometimes. Fortunately, we have Buzzfeed to monetize that information for us in a series of images that settle the question of your temporal condition. Just look at all these stunning simpletons who had no clue what their own specific age was until they scanned a listicle on the internet called 43 things that will make you feel old. It was a series of pop culture references they remembered from the ’90s: floppy disks, Titanic,Reading Rainbow, images which amounted, in whole, to a sort of The Full House jpeg of Dorian Gray.

The visitor could see no change in any of the faces on the post, save in the author profile of Matt Stopera. In his eyes there was a look of cunning and in the mouth the curved wrinkle of the hypocrite. The thing was still loathsome—more loathsome, if possible, than before—and the scarlet dew that spotted his aggregating eyes seemed brighter, and more like blood newly spilled. The Buzzfeed fan trembled. Had it been merely vanity that had made them click on this link? Or the desire for a new sensation, as their friends on Facebook who shared the post had hinted, with their RTs? Or that passion to act a part that sometimes makes us do things baser than we are ourselves? Or, perhaps, all these?
