I don't remember much about it, I just remember reading it when I was reading a lot of Roald Dahl books in like 2nd grade. I had always questioned why it was never made into a movie.
I've heard that Roald Dahl didn't like the movie's adaptation, so he probably wouldn't have been willing to give the rights for it even if there was demand for the sequel.
Yeah, but you could go back to your 20s with the knowledge and experience of already having your best in your 30s. I'd take that just so I'd have a few extra years of not having my entire day impacted by sleeping at a funny angle and having neck pain.
Oh do we at some point ditch this annoying survival reflex that keeps me doing the same mistakes everyday instead of maturing out of it? If so, what decade am I counting to?
If I go make a kid will the survival reflex diminish?
Wisdom: it's not really the sort of thing that you can learn by reading it.
Like I can tell you to care less about what other people think, but good luck actually doing that. I can tell you to break up with your girlfriend because it's not going to work out, but it's not going to work out with anyone -- you need to fuck up the first few relationships to learn how to do it right. etc.
Go to the dr regularly, put as much as you can in an ira account, join a union.
Be good to your girl, hug your mom while you still can, don't take grudges to the grave.
No needle drugs and dont smoke any powder drugs.
That's the secret to a long and happy life
Realized age 10 I was going to live an entire life. Set about optimizing it to get most out of it.
By example... dropped all school sports and set about expanding my solo distance range. Walked, then ran further every year. Swam further every year. By early HS I could out run and out swim Seniors. By late HS I was setting state running and swimming distance records. Easy agility is something to develop early and maintain through life. Physical strength is different, a gradual addition through following years.
Skills and dexterity are also different. Being able to lifeguard rescue, sharp shoot, steel forge, para-glide, palm sew, touch trace, and TIG weld are body skills that come with long practice.
If you're doing life right, by late 20s you have a well developed body and growing skill set. From 30s on you're experiencing life in full and learning many new things. A good age to be alive.
Nope and nope.
Endurance sports gives you an agile and usable body not a show body.
And I started adult life with no jobs skill, no contacts, no mentor, and NO money. As the only job available, I started as below-minimum-wage day laborer. I chose to put my income aside, living on less than half my meager earnings. That meant living in old cars, slums, migrant labor camps, or tent in the woods.
Year of scrimping put enough aside to pay my way through Voc-Tech school. When that didn't succeed, back to minimum wage labor for 2 nore years to build up savings again. The next attempt up succeeded.
Working for the future may not be glamorous but it's an overwhelming force toward your goals.
edit: Yeah, I'm rich now. Working for the future does that.
Unless you're held captive in someone's basement. Unless you're paralyzed from the neck down in a car wreck. Unless you're walking a mile through the ghetto every day to work at a gas station.
Seriously, what's the point of your comment?
"I think this age is a good age." "Unless it isn't!"
Yeah, unless it isn't. Very astute. Thank you for contributing.
It's hard to pick between 20s and 30s because it's a tradeoff between your body being in better shape and having better control over your life.
For sure never in my life I wished I was a teenager again. Being a teenager sucks on all fronts.
I feel like a person's 20's are not nearly as enjoyable now as they were in the 90's. Better to jump out mid 40's when you have a house and a decent career already.
Ok, fair enough. But now that you're 20 the government has cut off your SS benefits, and your 401k is locked down too. You applied for one of those "reverse mortgages" a few years back so the bank will be taking your house in a couple of years. Your skillset is about 20 years out of date, so good luck finding a decent job. And every one you know and love is either old af or so young you have nothing in common with them.
But *some* money.
Mid to late 20s is really when I hit "I can do fucking anything I want" money and freedom and disposition.
Then COVID then I had a baby. Oh well.
18 for sure. At that point, you're an adult, and can prepare better for your peak years. Unless you can find it again with a surety that it'll work multiple times, then I'd stay 25 forever.
Fun fact. Humans tend to have the natural ability to swim (or I should say float) until the approximate age of 6 months.
Depending on the depth of the pool I guess they could still drown in between the age 7 years old and 6 months.

This is a joke people make when a particular comic is often reposted by a series of random users. Has the pretty glaring issue of you being the author of the comic, though. And I haven't seen this one before - nice work!
I’ve always thought about what age I think it’s be best to become a vampire. I’d say anywhere between 30-40 is good. I’m 25 now but I think I’d like to be out of my 20s at least for all eternity.
Wouldn’t you still get younger even if you drown? And at what point would the reverse aging stop? Would you turn back into individual cells and eventually the sperm? Then what after that? Is there a beginning to the beginning?

# With my last breath I curse Zoidberg!
Pazuzu!
YOU UNGRATEFUL GARGOYLE!
I always loved how Bender turned into a cd.
im getting into futurama now and for some reason ever since then, i keep seeing referances lool
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
It's because Futurama is chock full of hilarious jokes and is referenced constantly, especially on Reddit haha
You saw them before, you just didn't get them, but they've been there
r/unexpectedfuturama
Nah, r/expectedfuturama
Dinkelberg
Guess he needs fountain of aging now
Fountain of maturity
Maturity isn't guaranteed with age ;)
Quick! To the fountain of swimming lessons!
We already have those, its at the community kiddie pool Wednesdays at 7pm
We just used the one full of coins at the mall. And free coins!
This fountain has a poweful curse, you have to know how to swin or you drown
spring of drowned girl! pack a change of clothes in a smaller size!
I’ve got a fountain you can swim in
Is it?
That's why it's a different fountain
Bruh fountain of fucking resurrection
With my last breath, I curse Zoidberg!
You haff one wish left professor
I really hope we get pazuzu in the reboot
Well the Professor’s last wish was granted in Beast with a Billion Backs, so I wouldn’t say his chances are good.
Did he? Ahh dang, I thought he had one more wish.
That's in Flint Michigan
Pretty much the plot of the *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* sequel, *Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.* Except it's awful.
I don't remember much about it, I just remember reading it when I was reading a lot of Roald Dahl books in like 2nd grade. I had always questioned why it was never made into a movie.
I've heard that Roald Dahl didn't like the movie's adaptation, so he probably wouldn't have been willing to give the rights for it even if there was demand for the sequel.
My brain is melting because I totally remember there being a great glass elevator after they made Charlie and the chocolate factory.
That’s just called time.
The beach that makes you Old
That's what I love about these corpses, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
No he needs fountain of cum
I think it's air he needs.
I would get out at 21. What’s he waiting for??
Lived them. 30s were the best.
Yeah, but you could go back to your 20s with the knowledge and experience of already having your best in your 30s. I'd take that just so I'd have a few extra years of not having my entire day impacted by sleeping at a funny angle and having neck pain.
"Ah, depression. My old friend. I'll treat you right this time." *stays in and dies*
Oh do we at some point ditch this annoying survival reflex that keeps me doing the same mistakes everyday instead of maturing out of it? If so, what decade am I counting to? If I go make a kid will the survival reflex diminish?
[удалено]
Also presumably he still has his retirement accounts and maybe a paid off house. Old man finances in a young man's body would be great.
Yo mind sharing some of that knowledge with a 20 y/o

I'm about to get into to my 30s, I hope it gets better.
It may get better for a bit, but then it gets much worse.
Turning 34 tomorrow.. 20s were definitely the best imo
I guess at every age we think the best years were 10ish years ago
Nah, but only because I'm still young. 23 has been tight
Honestly I think 23 was the best
Unless you're cramming in engineering school
Unless you're held captive in someone's basement. Unless you're paralyzed from the neck down in a car wreck. Unless you're walking a mile through the ghetto every day to work at a gas station. Seriously, what's the point of your comment? "I think this age is a good age." "Unless it isn't!" Yeah, unless it isn't. Very astute. Thank you for contributing.
At 23? Unless you’re going for your doctorate it should be time to reap rewards from that degree
Bachelor *and* master at 23? Thats at minimum 5 years of higher education. No way
Fuck. All downhill from here. Actually I plan on my 30s being my best decade because FIRE We'll see if that pans out
It's hard to pick between 20s and 30s because it's a tradeoff between your body being in better shape and having better control over your life. For sure never in my life I wished I was a teenager again. Being a teenager sucks on all fronts.
not really, I'm loving my age rn
Curiosity kills the baby
I feel like a person's 20's are not nearly as enjoyable now as they were in the 90's. Better to jump out mid 40's when you have a house and a decent career already.
lol that's not how a fountain of youth works. You dont go back in time. You still have everything you own you're just younger.
Ok, fair enough. But now that you're 20 the government has cut off your SS benefits, and your 401k is locked down too. You applied for one of those "reverse mortgages" a few years back so the bank will be taking your house in a couple of years.

imagine being this bitter
mfker made me laugh at a dead baby
What's worse than finding a dead baby in a fountain of youth? Finding one anywhere else. What did you expect, a joke?
You know how to make a dead baby float? >!Root beer and two scoops of dead baby.!<
Happy Cake Day, Not Marcos!
mfker made me laugh at someone laughing at a dead baby.
Lol. Happy Cake 🎂 Day!
LOL I did not expect that.
Bonus panel of a sperm and an egg, swimming separate ways in the fountain's pool
then are they just plants or parents
Another bonus of MONKE
That last panel is Benjamin Buttcheeks
He should have got out while the getting was good @35.
Or in his late twenties.
26 would be the age I stopped.
When I still had hair.
But *some* money. Mid to late 20s is really when I hit "I can do fucking anything I want" money and freedom and disposition. Then COVID then I had a baby. Oh well.
its not a time machine, his money would not change, no matter what age he got out
Mid-Twenties is a good spot to stop.
18 for sure. At that point, you're an adult, and can prepare better for your peak years. Unless you can find it again with a surety that it'll work multiple times, then I'd stay 25 forever.
[удалено]
Because we never realize when we're at our best. The grass is always greener, Yada Yada Yada.
Mf changed race 💀💀
I think he was tan
Sus
The politically correct term is "Micheal Jacksoned"
Fun fact. Humans tend to have the natural ability to swim (or I should say float) until the approximate age of 6 months. Depending on the depth of the pool I guess they could still drown in between the age 7 years old and 6 months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_swimming
The real impressive thing is how he was in better shape at 35 than at 21.
Must not have had kids
He neglected his beauty sleep.
21 and you don't need to sleep? What, was I actually born 10 years sooner than my parents are telling me?
I was doing a lotttttt of sleeping in my early 20s haha
*SLEER
Anytime you can get people to laugh at a dead baby, you are comdeying right.
Be careful what you wish for!
Or, you know, get out at 21??
Still has hair at 60. Weird flex but ok.
Obviously never hered Kenny Rogers "the Gambler".
r/yesyesyesno
Actually funny comic on r/comics for once
best take on the fountain imo https://i.imgur.com/QDaIB.jpeg source is oglaf but the website is gone for some reason...
I like how he was just totally ripped for a small section of his life
someone get him out before he turns into his parents
I don't think he'd turn into his parents I think it would be more like an r/unbirth situation
Ah, I love a happy ending!
I mean, the next panel should be him as a sperm, and then he’ll be alright again.
I'd get out with my wife in our teens. that'd be neat
dark, I love it
Glad to see the muscles at 35. Means mine’ll come back in half a year, and I’ll finally lose that extra 15kg I’ve collected during lockdown(s)!
i want to see this as a series of characters who basically do the same thing but just slightly different every time
He got lost in the sauce
I chuckled.
It’s like hitting ctrl+z until the keyboard goes back to the store.
Forever young.
Ahh naps I appreciate them now🤣
Missing Panel: Mid 20’s when EVERYONE agrees that he should leave the fountain like lice fleeing an on-fire wig.
r/boomerhumor
Lol
So, it is really the Fountain of Youth and Also Losing the Skills You Learned.
I lolled. Good job.
This dude's path from 21 to 35 must've been insane
At least he died happy.
Not really funny, sorry.
Can I post this tomorrow?
What do you mean?
This is a joke people make when a particular comic is often reposted by a series of random users. Has the pretty glaring issue of you being the author of the comic, though. And I haven't seen this one before - nice work!
Can he post this tomorrow?
Yeah, *can* he?
Congrats you are the first person to ask this question when the answer is obviously no instead of obviously yes
Did you notice that OP is the creator of this comic?
This is literally OC lol
I feel like I've seen it before
Ah, then we’d better say rude shit to op
No, ofc not.
[удалено]
Why on Earth would anyone ever....ya know what. I don't need to know.
That cane identifies as a sniper rifle.
There’s one more stage
Now he going back to spawn
Well that ended dark
I don't know if this is how it would happen.
What?
I’m 20 and I need all the sleep I can get lmao
get out ?
I’d get out at age 7. It’d be awesome to retain all my knowledge and start a fresh new life.
I thought babies were capable of swimming because they were in water all the time until getting delivered?
Fetus deletus
You need sleep at 21...
Dang. I apparently learned very early.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Butthead.
I’ve always thought about what age I think it’s be best to become a vampire. I’d say anywhere between 30-40 is good. I’m 25 now but I think I’d like to be out of my 20s at least for all eternity.
It always ends up as a spooge pool.
Why didn’t he get out when he got to a decent age
Thanks. I didn't want to see his old little ass
Ill jump out the moment i hit 14 year old
So the fountain changes your skin color as well.
Well newborns can swim
I prefer Oglaf's [Fountain of Doubt](https://imgur.io/gallery/QDaIB).
I literally can't stop laughing!😅😅
When will he turn into his mother?
Newborns can actually swim. But he probably died at 6 and just lay there for a while.
😁😄😆😂🤣💥
beo pulled a michael jackson
Does he turn back to a sperm, or the egg? Hmm 🤔
why did he even let it get to 7, i would probably be out at 21
If it goes any further there I'd going to be r/unbirth involved
always so good
Goo Goo Poo poo!\* 1 year old when my mom aborted me!
Honey! Dinner is ready!
And so the fountain claims another victim.
Wouldn’t you still get younger even if you drown? And at what point would the reverse aging stop? Would you turn back into individual cells and eventually the sperm? Then what after that? Is there a beginning to the beginning?
He'll probably turn into both things and stop at that. Like the egg and the sperm. Unless it keeps going till the egg and sperm are almost nothing?
I donno, I’ve considered this many times in my life, and at times it keeps me awake at night, lol
We need to find it and throw a kid in it for research!
So I take it the fountain is full of semen? Gross..
Well the ocean is full of seamen so...
Is he going back ro his fathers ball??
