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...

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I'm thinking on going back to optical media, for archiving purposes. It's even ransomware-resistant.

[-] can 6 points 3 days ago

We burned everything back then: books, bras,

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.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago

I'm gen z and go on Lemmy exclusively through an app.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

My back hurts

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Did you make an account through the app?

Most apps have a front-end for the register form, so they could have done it through an app easily.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

I hate to tell you, but Im pretty sure I've seen both of those gens on here

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

But in very small numbers.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There's probably more gen z here than you think

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Some days it feels like everyone on this site is in middle school.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

You think we are that dumb? 😭 (GenZ)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

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).

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

You guys are like mid 20s you're not youths. You're old news now.

Ha! You're a baby! Hey everyone, come look at this baby!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Kinda... yeah.

At 45, I can confidently say that that 30-year old brat is out of control.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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 😅

[-] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

You got to call people out like that... back in my day we disrespected everyone equally online.

[-] rustydrd 13 points 3 days ago

This is how it feels post-30 when you get out of bed in the morning and your body is slightly off balance.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Thor speaking the truth

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

How it feels to be called a graymuzzle once you hit 30

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago
[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

a furry? on .world??? I didn't know they existed!

out of curiosity what communities are you subscribed to?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

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.)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Man I just turned 30 on Monday

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Happy birthday

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago
