Why does everyone call each other kid on the Internet?

Spartan

I mean come on... They could be 20 times older than them, and the still call them kid.

Discuss.

Edit:can someone move this to general discussion

I only call people kid when they are acting like a kid, because i assume they are a kid with nothing better to do than annoy people.

According to a bit of math(see below) and some other data 123, the set of ages that you have any likelihood of being be 20 times older than is {1,2,3,4,5} for which you would have to be either {20,40,60,80,100}. Given that the youngest reported age of minecraft players is 6, you would have to be 120 years old to actually be twenty times older than they are. You are unlikely to be 120 years old, given that the oldest age so far reported is 65, and even they would be 20 times older than exactly 0% of the estimated minecraft population.

1x20=20, 2x20=40, 3x20=60, 4x20=80, 5x20=100, 6x20=120

The art of exaggeration is a strange phenomenon to the eyes of Xoiiku.

It's mostly about how they act. If you act mature then they won't call you kid. Anyone older than 13 Years old should be mature enough.
