The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Damn my thoughts exactly. Those were the age ranges I immediately thought of.
I would hope so
As someone in their 30s, you are a young woman
Yes. You're still young enough where you don't seem out of place going to bars every friday night, and hanging out of the tops of limos going WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as the limo drives down the street. The driver isn't annoyed that you're not acting your age. The driver is annoyed that his job is basically glorified babysitter on wheels.
But as a young woman, you need all of the advice. You need to do all the things. See all the stuff. And my advice is to do nothing. Relax, don't do it. When you want to go do it. Relax. Don't do it. When you want to come.
All the advice. None of the advice. Do everything. Do nothing. Life is all about making decisions. Some decisions you'll love having made. Others you'll later regret. Life is all about finding the road that leads to self acceptance and inner peace.
But shoot it in the right direction. We're making it your intention. Live those dreams. Scheme those schemes. Got to hit me with those laser beams! Ow ow ow! Laser beam me! 1, 2, 3, 4
I'd say anyone under 30 is "young".
I mean anyone before 40, really. Once 40, you're middle aged.
The "young adult" category is usually cut off by 30, though, according to Meetup groups and age-restricted social groups I've seen online.
According to u.s. law, age discrimination kicks in at 40. If you're under 40 they can say you're too young.
I don't understand; who is the hypothetical "they" and why would you get kicked out for anything just for being under as opposed to over 40?
Employers can't discriminate against people for being 40+ for housing it's 55+ they can legally say you're too young to work or live somewhere
Thanks!!
18-24 usually gets grouped together for census and survey stuff so you got a good year left in the tank before you're part of the 25-44 crowd
And a decade or so before your targeted ads switch from fast fashion, adventure holidays and entertainment to things like lawn care products and orthopedic footwear.
😮💨
Young and old is relative. I side with those saying young is until 40, then you're middle aged.
anyone born after 2000 is young in my book.
And will be for ever.
I used to think that but for "anyone born in a year after my birth year", but now I look at some such people and realize that all people eventually turn older. :/ OP is a lot younger than even that though.
Thanks! I’m still young!
Yeah, come on, of course. "Young" = no one would question the chromosomal health of your baby if you chose to have one right now. So it's in the 30s when that starts to get shaky, but certainly not the 20s.
Leornado DiCaprio says you got 1 more year!
M26. I feel old as shit and it's only gonna get worse. A lot of it is your attitude and environment, something i'm struggling with rn. You can still be young in your 60ies if you have wonderful people surrounding you.
I'm 43. I say I'm old, but I don't actually believe I'm old.
Don't convince me otherwise.
For me (male) even turning 30 didn’t feel “old”; in my mind that was still basically in my 20s. When I turned 31, though, it hit me. Of course, it’s still not old, at most middle age, but hard to say you’re “young” anymore. But hopefully that means mature. You still have a lot of your energy and health, hopefully, but now also hopefully have a better understanding of what to do and how to make the best use of your life for your goals.
I'm 58. You are a young woman.
I have children older than you. It's a matter of perspective - I think anyone under 50 is young, and no doubt in 10 years time I'll think the same of anyone under 60. I don't feel that I really grew up until I was well into my 30s, and my career didn't really get anywhere before I was 40, but now before I know it I'm retired. Relish your youth - it'll pass soon enough!
Not a woman but I just turned 41 recently. Here’s the secret to life from here on out:
While your body keeps changing (slowly) your mind really doesn’t. So you’re going to feel the same as you always did! This is pretty cool!
It's all relative. I'm 62 - from my perspective you've only recently gone from being a girl to being a woman, so for sure a young woman. Of course in ten years I'll be 72 and you'll be 34, and I'd still call you a young woman.
