Back in the distant 1990's there wasn't enough solar energy to run our central heating, so we had to burn our CD collections to stay warm.
My back suddenly started hurting...
Why do all of these things make me feel old... I'm gen Z but heavily relate to gen x and millennial when people ask me "wtf does that mean?" and I just say "it was before your time." Like wtf it was "before my time" too... idk I guess that's the only benefit of being adopted by boomers.
I thought it was about the next step from book burning at first
I'm thinking on going back to optical media, for archiving purposes. It's even ransomware-resistant.
We burned everything back then: books, bras,
Leaded gas
It's why I like Lemmy, it's a safe space for Millennials and Gen X. Neither the boomers or yooths can figure out how to make an account without downloading it from the app store.
Gen Z here, after creating my mastodon account on an infosec instance and using that for a while, I found out about Lemmy and ditched reddit for good. So after registering on a smaller furry instance through my browser and trying a couple of different apps, I ended up here... not all of us are dumb ipad kids. Don't get me wrong either, most of my generation are indeed a bunch of skibidi-brains... but there's some hope anyways. I think. If we survive the civil unrest, climate change, the coming world war, and the general ignorance of the vast majority of our generation.... ok maybe we are fucked. I guess we can thank the boomers together for that.
You think we are that dumb? 😭 (GenZ)
Gen Z are quite dumb. Some of them suggested me to modify my game engine to be able to be ran from a browser, I politely decline every time (I still need to move the rendering from the CPU to the GPU, since I figured out how to do retro pixel-perfect graphics, all with color lookup).
Kinda... yeah.
Old people suck!
As a man in my 30s who enjoys VR, good god the kids torment me.
I came up with a decent reply. “Why are you on Oculus, old man?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize a bunch of fucking toddlers made the Quest. I’m proud of you guys! I was under the impression that VR was mostly created by my generation, but it’s cool to see your elementary school science project took off like this. Congrats on your A+! You’re building the future.”
Usually shuts them up or makes them fumble and a few kids get on my side with it haha.
I’ve been the old sage sitting in the building in Pavlov Containers giving the youngins life advice. Always a wonderful experience when they aren’t bullying me or when I bump into a fellow old.
That's way too much effort. Just go with the ol "because I got tired of being on your mom".
I'm in this image and I don't like it 😅
okay boomer.
*millennial
You got to call people out like that... back in my day we disrespected everyone equally online.
This is how it feels post-30 when you get out of bed in the morning and your body is slightly off balance.
How it feels to be called a graymuzzle once you hit 30
Sad awooo.
I mean I'll take it at this point. I was talking to someone recently who was 18, and realized I literally was part of the community before they were born
a furry? on .world??? I didn't know they existed!
out of curiosity what communities are you subscribed to?
From selfhosting to foreskin, grapheneos to costco, chastity to theonion
(not all from .world ofc but I maintain one account only for lemmy. I came from the reddit exodus last year.)
Thor speaking the truth
30 years, on top of another 50 years you mean?
Even if he meant this in hexadecimal base 16, I still wouldn't believe it!:-P
Man I just turned 30 on Monday
Happy birthday
is that the game Custom Robo Arena for the DS?
No it’s mega man battle network for gba
