Holy shit I thought she was a lot older

Sh should actually be younger. She got pregnant with Bart in high school and Bart is ten years old. She should be about 28.

This a UK joke?

Her and Homer's ages have randomly changed throughout the series. Sometimes they're as young as 34; other times they're as old as 40.

Bart's ten and Maggie's like one

Of course she'd be roughly 40

>>90863544
Isn't Bart 12 now?

Since the show has a sliding timeline where the characters never age, in four years, Homer will go from a Gen Xer to a filthy entitled Millennial.

Shouldn't Homer and Marge be the same age? They literally graduated high school together

>>90863648
Doesn't homers age change around a lot? I kind of recall him being 34 or 36 in the cat burglar episode and then being like 38 later on, there's even an episode about his 40th birthday isn't there?

>>90863648
It already doesn't make much sense for him to have a steady industrial job.

>>90863689
Homer could have repeated a few years.

>>90863648

It's not a sliding timeline.

Every episode is its own alternate universe.

>>90863648
The thing about millennials is that the "real" definition is 1982-1995/6. It's people who came of age in the 00s, but remember 9/11 to some extent.

But your average joe don't give a shit about the real definition, and its mostly just used in a slang-y way to refer to "anyone younger than me who is stupid and I don't understand".

It's like how everyone falsely refers to the United States as "America", even though the "real" America is the North American and South American continents.

>>90863741
I know at least two people who are 19 and 21, respectively, who have pretty steady industry jobs...

>>90863824
you need to put more quotes around "real"
because it makes no fucking sense that a term that only came out in the last few years should refer to people our age, who already have a name. as does the half-generation after us. millennial only makes sense as generation Z, and that's how it's always used, so that's the meaning.

>>90863942
Eh i see it used to refer to both gen y and z, depending on the narrative

Like, when there's a post about "What will millennials be the last to understand?" on a forum, it's people in their 20s and early 30s waxing nostalgic about cassette tapes or dial-up, seemingly aware they are millennials.

But then if there's a post about "What do millennials not understand?", it's people in their 20s and early 30s ranting about how teens don't understand cassettes and dial-up, seemingly unaware that they themselves are millennials and the teens aren't.

>>90863544
I think there was an episode about this, when someone asked them how come Bart was only 10 if Homer and Marge had him in High School. I forgot why but marge actually had Bart around 26-27 years old.

>>90864152
(cont) It's like how Hollywood Jews switch back and forth between calling themselves white or Jew, depending on the political agenda they're trying to push

>>90864152
okay but 82 is solidly gen x
if a word is never used right, then that kind of means you're the one that's wrong, doesn't it? I mean this isn't like not using whom properly, this is literally a slang term.. that you are saying everyone uses wrong. slang is defined by its users, and we use it to rant about kids-these-days. obviously it refers to them
if it doesn't, then what do you call teenagers?

>>90863460
Hank Hill is only 34, how about that?

HOW

>>90863544
There was an episode where Bart and Lisa come to that realization, turns out Homer and Marge spent a decade apart before getting back together.

>>90864236
Gen X is 1960/5-1980, Millennial is 1980-2000

>>90864272
Yeah but he mentally he has been in his mid to late 40s since the day he was born.

>>90864573
That's false though.

Wait, didn't you two elope at like 17? How did it take you so long to make Gumball? Surely it wasn't a matter of being responsible.

They explain it in the show, it says that after graduating high school, Homer tried to stare a band and Marge went to college for several years.

It's that episode where they retconned a bunch of continuity by saying that all that happened during the 90s

>>90864816
Nicole was pregnant of Gumball for 10 years

Pick one

>>90863460
That is actually a lot older than she was in canon at one point. She got pregnant with Bart in high school and he is 10, that would put her at 28 or so.

>>90864236
Not everyone uses it wrong. He provided an example of people using it right.

Either way it's arbitrary advertising bs, so it really doesn't matter.

Homer got that job when the plant first opened, I live near a nuclear plant and had a temp job there once, half the higher ups are just people they pulled from the village it was built near and taught them to do it. The idea of Homer being a nuclear operator isn't too absurd if we figure the plant was built shortly after he got out of school

Homer is 39. That one of the few things the show has been (relatively) consistent with.

The way we characterise generations by arbitrary time periods rather than say, culture is dumb anyway. I notice a massive cultural difference between early and late millennials, I was born in '86 and I feel I have a more in common with people born in the '70s than the '90s. I just can't have a reasonable or civilised discussion or debate about anything of importance with anyone more than about ten years younger than me. A better generational marker would be from the early to mid '90s onwards - We could call it "The echo-chamber generation".
