If you look at this situation from an older mindset, i am above thirty, you would definitely tell them in a very direct and short conversation. Maybe even be playful about making them feel guilty, that’s what most people with more life experience would do.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Do you know if your dad has been snipped? If not, you had better move out if you are able to. Because otherwise you will end up being free child care in about a year ....
Not sure why you are getting down voted. You have a point
You reacted to their vote count barely 10min after they posted.
Also you’re not “free childcare.” It’s called taking care of your (half-)sibling. You’re not obligated to but taking care of family is not the same as babysitting.
“Not obligated”. Tell that to the teen who wants to live their life but is stuck home every Friday night to watch their siblings.
Can they help once in a while ,yes.
But too many parents become seriously self entitled, and before anyone claims I’m not that old, so how would I know? I’m over 50. Fair amount of experience with entitled people.
And not calling it baby sitting and trying to call it “taking care of the sibling” is just splitting hairs.
I was 1 of several kids I don't need a lecture and I don't know why your base assumption is that this is guaranteed to happen to OP.
It's not babysitting when it's family. In fact I get pretty upset when someone describes me as "babysitting" my kids. I'm being a parent. It's not the same thing, it's not splitting hairs.
I don't care if people have children or not that's their prerogative but anti-natalism is seeping into everything these days it seems.
Look at the number of up vs down votes. That should tell you where the thoughts are of others. Have a nice day.
You can't be serious.
Even if we concede that somehow magic internet points are indicative of "who is correct," which is absurd but let's just give you that one, you're talking 4-6 up/down on the most weighed in comment. The rest are 2-2, 1-1, 1-0. All of those downvotes are YOU by the way after the initial comment, I haven't downvoted anything of yours.
Congratulations. You are Correct :TM: by your narrow, arbitrary definition. Well done. Good Job.

Direct and respectfully. Lot of absurd suggestions here even if the goal is to be humorous.
He will likely be very embarrassed. Just be concise and clear and move on.
Loudly cheer them on and clap when they finish.
Why be subtle? Just shout “jfc I can hear everything”
Quite literally everything, including the dirty talk.😭who knew a 48 yo man still has so much stamina
Omg I’m so sorry. It’s bad enough when it’s a roommate or the methed out neighbor I used to live by, I couldn’t even imagine that situation
Just tell him respectfully, sometime.
As a parent, myself:
- I totally don't mind if my kids tell me they can hear me. I appreciate knowing our communication lines are open.
- I am still going to continue having (probably still loud) sex in the house. Unless my kids fully paying a roommate's share of the costs to run the home, they're still kids, not roommates.
- I'll probably buy the kid some nice noise suppressing audio headset as a shopping surprise, sometime soon.

Turn your radio or TV up. They will get the message that if they can hear you you can hear them.
High five every morning.
And at 11:05 PM every night
11:04
Give him a minute to clean up first
They absolutely know they can be heard. You just have to tell him that it isn't cool and that you don't want to hear it.
Drown it out by blaring porn.
Ask if you can join.
Just cough when they finish. If they can hear you cough, bells will ring in their heads
Buy ear plugs.
Is their door shut at least?
Live stream it every time it happens .... play only small segement but then set up a Patreon and set up a premium section for full volume
Also ask your dad if he's willing to stream their activity and that everyone would get paid for it
Don't ask. Just drop some money infront of him and his girlfriend and just say "your cut." with no context

"I like it in the ass too."
Start your own sex right before theirs but do it way louder. If they still go at it, call CPS.
