According to Wikipedia, the CIA’s median age statistics for 2024 for each of the countries that had a respondent:
en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_median_ag…
Ireland: 40.2
United Kingdom: 40.8
United States: 38.9
Malta: 43.5
Nigeria: 19.3
The respondents seem awfully non-representative of the larger population, considerably older. There isn’t a single person who was below the median age for their country, and many who were far above.

Don’t they have to be old to have used “Old Google”? It’s about 30 years old, seems appropriate that the users of old Google would be 40s at minimum, yeah?
