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.
We burned everything back then: books, bras,
Leaded gas
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.
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.
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.
I'm gen z and go on Lemmy exclusively through an app.
My back hurts
Did you make an account through the app?
But how did you register?
Most apps have a front-end for the register form, so they could have done it through an app easily.
I hate to tell you, but Im pretty sure I've seen both of those gens on here
But in very small numbers.
There's probably more gen z here than you think
Some days it feels like everyone on this site is in middle school.
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)
You guys are like mid 20s you're not youths. You're old news now.
Bruh
Ha! You're a baby! Hey everyone, come look at this baby!
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).
Old people suck!
Kinda... yeah.
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".
At 45, I can confidently say that that 30-year old brat is out of control.
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.
Thor speaking the truth
How it feels to be called a graymuzzle once you hit 30
Sad awooo.
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.)
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
I'm in this image and I don't like it 😅
okay boomer.
*millennial
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
