The only slightly suspicious thing here is that both grandpa and pop had kids at exactly age 20. Not only is that a little younger than average, it's also a very convenient number for a made up but easy to calculate scenario.
I'm the first person on my dad's side to not have a kid before 20 in 5 generation.
Shit does happen.
Do you know anybody else who had 2 generations like that? It used to be more common but even back in 1970 the average was above 21. These days it's above 27.

With every average there will be people above and below the average age. And since there are some people having their first child in their 40s, the median is actually probably below the average.
I found it more suspicious that both times the father was supposedly aged at the suspiciously round number of 20.
I mean, yes, but I grew up in a cult
Maybe but it’s not crazy. My father in-law had his first kid at 17. His second son also had a kid at 17. Crazier still is that second son's baby mama was 16 and she was born to a 16 year old.
I wish I was making this shit up.
Here baby, come meet your 32 year old grandma.
Give me two years before my cousin's kids start getting pregnant. At 14.
On one hand it's suspicous, on the other hand it's a convenient number if your parents and grandparents were around that age but you don't want to put in their actual ages because you have a habit of not giving out personal information.
That's when the word "about" is useful. My grandpa is "about 60" and my dad is "about 40", he got the PS1 when my dad was a kid. My dad had me when he was "about 20"...
I don't think people tend to make up specific ages that are not accurate when they're trying to obscure someone's exact age.
Counterpoint: "20" is shorter than "about 20" and this is a short comment by a 4chan anon.
Countercounterpoint: this is a short comment by a 4chan anon, so it's probably a lie.
Fakeness in 4chan no way?
