Land before time came out in 88 that's only 35 years ago. The CDC reccomends colonoscopies at 45.
It's close. I must have seen it long after its initial release or while I was very young. But I'm still about a decade off from 45.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

You don’t really start to retain memories until after 5 as your brain basically rewires itself at that point. So if you “remember” it (from its debut), you’re probably closer to 40.
I likley just rented the vhs from blockbuster because it had dinosaurs on it
It sure as hell did have dinosaurs

I call bullsh*t on that. I have many memories from before age 5, and one from as young as 14 months. I may be a statistical outlier with that last bit, but I can't believe that our brains don't save any memories from before we were 5.
Some research does actually support your position that we do actually retain memories from our youth, but more so we forget them as we get older. Studies have shown that children remember their childhood, and can recall memories from very young. But we seem to forget them as we do into adulthood. It’s not that children are incapable of remembering

The rates of colorectal cancer are increasing in young adults. It’s best you start earlier so that problematic polyps and adenomas can be removed before they get worse.
I've got a family history of it and probably should get checked early bit haven't. Here's to hoping that the article I saw that said THC is toxic to polyps literally saves my ass.
I think you've stumbled upon an innovative new way to ingest THC...
Yup. My family has a history of colon polyps, so I had my first screening at 42 and they found a precancerous polyp.

I remember watching that movie as a child on TV and I'm 25
Ok boomer
Same. Though I guess it could be edited to say "remember seeing it in theatres". That'd put you at least around 5-7.
That'd make much more sense
Most people don't remember movies they've seen when they were new borns.
Never too early to be touched by and Angel.

Not quite; movie’s only 35 years old. First colonoscopy is recommended at age 45.
To be fair, it also says if you remember this movie. So you're adding on at minimum 4-5 years before you're old enough to start remembering this movie at all, much less clearly. Then there's the wording that says "about time". To your not quite I instead offer a simple "Quite."
You're right, but it doesn't make it more likely the viewer is older.
I'm 30 and I remember the movie, but I probably watched it when I was like 10 and the movie was already 15 years old.

If you were 10 when it came out, it's time
Yup yup!
Don't make me sad like that bro.
Also I'm only 32!
If you are being recommended colonoscopy as a regular-risk person on the basis of age, your health system is not serving you well. Compared to colonoscopies, regular FOBT or FIT testing has an insignificant risk of complications (bowel perforations, death etc) and is easily conducted at home without the unpleasant "preparation" required of a scope. If done every 2-3 years they are at least as (and maybe more) effective at detecting cancer compared to a scope.

Already had mine. Checked a-ok despite the functional alcoholism in my teens and twenties. Thanks!
Congrats man! I'm 43 and I've had 2 checks so far. Wildest one is when they do both ends at the same time. Nothing like getting spit roasted by camera machines.
Bro I am 24. I think I'm okay for a lil bit
Did anyone else think those leaves looked tasty as fuck when you were a kid?
This and Watership Down are two of my favourite movies that fit a genre that seems to hardly exist any more. A movie where the journey is the story. Love them. Also I will continue to be in denial about my age thank you very much!
Watership Down and Plague Dogs are a whole different level. I agree with your sentiment. I just want to add that some dinosaurs watching relatives die just the same.
