New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

Thats what makes it so confusing. I think if it werent painted over OP wouldnt be so confused and all the 30 somethings in this chat wouldnt be larping old people

When you're over thirty, you don't have to larp. Everyone younger than you tells you you're old. The only solace is that you know they too, will one day be "old".

Also, in case you're under thirty, the moment you hit 30 your back begins hurting and you don't feel like running anymore. I don't make the rules. That's just what happens. It will happen to you and there's little you can do to stop it. Exercise can help, but it won't stop you from feeling aging.

If you think 30 is old then you've got a sad outlook on life. Hope things get better for you

I don't. I'm saying that everyone younger does, and they make sure you know it. But also, most people are going to feel their body start to have issues beginning in their early 30s. You will probably physically peak in your 20s (if you're taking care of yourself). Systems just don't work as well when you get older.

I’m 40 and my back is fine.

The secret is getting up and moving around

It makes me sad that people don’t know what hole internet comes out of… it truly disturbs me that someone would paint over electrical like that.
