  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

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 -2 points 13 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.

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

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world -4 points 12 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 12 hours ago

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

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

They did not complain about it.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

It’s really not tho.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world -1 points 17 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 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 17 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 16 hours ago (1 children)

Or it was illegal to get a divorce.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 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 15 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"
