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.

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.
Yup. My family has a history of colon polyps, so I had my first screening at 42 and they found a precancerous polyp.
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.

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
You don’t really start to retain memories until after 5 as your brain basically rewires itself after that.
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
Not if you have heavy PTSD! It's like having a superpower that for some reason makes it difficult to buy bread sometimes.

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.
For what it's worth, I'm 35 and had a colonoscopy not long ago due to intense abdominal pain that lingered for years and no other test could pick anything up (went through many things throughout the years, mostly being brushed off by the NHS).
It didn't detect cancer, however they almost immediately recognised Diverticular Disease which would not show on anything else they did.
Been on daily laxatives since and I feel physically quite good. Took away years of pain, however the prep is nothing to laugh at. I thought I could handle it, didn't seem so bad... Man, let me tell you I still think my actual soul got flushed and is floating in the River Thames to this day.
True but, and this is really important, this is a meme.
Not sure why this instance particularly is so fascinated with taking every meme painfully seriously. It's a bit idiotic.
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!
Bro I am 24. I think I'm okay for a lil bit
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.
What is FOBT and FIT testing?
@15liam20@lemmy.world shared a great link for FIT. From the same website: FOBT = Fecal Occult Blood Test
-
FIT/FOBT: low-cost, low-barrier, easy and 100% safe test done by the patient themselves at home
-
Colonoscopy: expensive, resource-intensive, onerous, invasive, time-consuming and while usually safe there are complications up to and including death
Even though an individual colonoscopy is more sensitive than an individual FOBT/FIT, regular use of FOBT/FIT is probably more effective overall on the population level. Unlike a colonoscopy, it is reasonable to repeat the FOBT/FIT every 1-2 years. Screening colonoscopies are usually done at intervals of 10 years. So imagine if you start doing colon cancer screening in 2023. In 2024, you start to develop cancer. If you are screening by colonoscopy, you will have to wait until 2033 to find it, unless you have symptoms in which case you are in trouble! (The whole idea of screening is you don't wait for symptoms.) Also it is important to remember that in the real world, people hate colonoscopies, health care is not always perfectly accessible, life gets in the way etc so it could be even more delayed. But if you are doing your FIT/FOBT every 1-2 years you will likely detect it fairly quickly. People are much more likely to actually go through with FIT/FOBT testing compared to colonoscopies. Then when you get the positive FIT/FOBT result, you'd be sent for a colonoscopy (or some other equivalent) for the confirming diagnosis.

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.
Did anyone else think those leaves looked tasty as fuck when you were a kid?
As Littlefoot says, "How fucking dare you."
I'm definetly too young but maybe it's just because I was a dinosaur kid.
Just made it this year
Jokes on you. Bloody TP forced one of those several years ago already. Rookies.
First? I already had my first and my second. 😅
Legalize tree stars.
More like past time to have scheduled...
The early movies in the series and the cartoon network show were pretty good. But then they just kept pumping out more and more movies, with widely varying degrees of quality. Either way, the first one was a masterpiece.
But I'm only 26!
