They're used to link sentences without having to use conjunctions; they're quite useful for this purpose.
Notice how my sentence is one sentence, but contains two separate independent clauses, but since they share the same idea and make sense to go together, rather than separating them as two sentences, I kept them together. Instead of using a semicolon there, I could've used a comma and a conjunction like "and" or "so," but opted for the semicolon.

You use it to make a crying face

;__;

what are all those chickens doing in the back of that truck

The duality of man.

pathetic retard

With dubs like those you don't need semicolons

No, you fucking idiot.
They go at the end of every line of code.

Code in python, you fucking nerd.

The general rule is if it can be two sentences it probably should. That said OP could have written
>I'm almost 30; I still don't know how to use semicolons
The use implies that those two are relevant to one another whereas with two separate sentences it does not convey the same message quite as well

Checked and keked

If I am making a database for my website, maybe. The fuck am I am going to do if I want to optimize it? Use JavaScript on the front end?

I'm 35 and shit at specific punctuation and all that as well. It's shitty because I'm really well spoken and have a good vocabulary but unless anything I write gets edited by someone I look fucking stupid.

That's because spoken word has zero punctuation.

"chickens"? o_O
special magical chickens that you can pour milk out of once you rip their heads off.

It doesn't matter. I know how to use semicolons and use them frequently in my writing. But Kurt Vonnegut, who was a far better writer than I'll ever be, said this:
>Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.
