The boomerfication of millennials is a sight to behold.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 16 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

All young people find all old people quaint, this is nothing like a boomer humor, every generation does this. Boomer humor is more about hating your wife and blaming everything on every other generation.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

This is a literal "kid these days" post.

It's boomer humour to hell.

Maybe you need your peepers to help you see.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Leaning into your age for a joke is not a “kids these days“ post.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world -3 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

It's millennials complaining kids don't know cursive.

The same shit actually boomers complained about.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

This is literally the opposite of that. It’s making fun of the trope.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

They did not complain about it.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

It’s really not tho.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world -1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, you are heading into all of that as you age. It has ever been so.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah… No. If I hated my wife I would get a divorce.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Perhaps, perhaps not. Separating a marriage after 25+ years is no easy thing. The sheer inertia can be impossible to overcome.

Hate doesn’t happen overnight, you only stay for 25 years with somebody you don’t like because you aren’t being honest with yourself or them.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Or it was illegal to get a divorce.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It’s never been illegal to get a divorce in the US. You may be thinking specifically of At-Fault Divorce which was the norm in the US until the 60s… when most boomers were in their 20s or younger.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Yes, that is what I was thinking! Indeed after reading that, "illegal" is definitely not the right word for "procedurally impossible without extremes"

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Eh, it's more like we're leaning into being old-heads now for the lols. Millennials don't do very many things without any ironic undertones.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Idk man.

I've never seen millennials have an allergic reaction to a number before.

"Dear fellas, I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry." - Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

So, you've seen Boomers put down Gen-X, and Gen-X get in millennials, and now you're seeing millennials talking about the kids...

But you, you'll be immune!

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

This is why I say that "The kids will be alright." For fucks sake every generation has said that the younger ones will never make it. The kids today are the smartest ever not the dumbest. They just don't value the same things that we did and honestly, great. Leave my crap alone, figure out your own crap.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Fucking kids these days, no work ethic like we had/have. They want everything now instead of working for it.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

They want their TikTok
