Yeah. Have all the hate you want for it. When you realize that shit you had to go through as a kid, nobody else will ever have to experience.... You'll be the same.
Fact is, younger generations have different challenges than older generations.
When I was growing up, there were no cellphones and caller ID wasn't really a thing either. That's how old I am. We had to look up numbers in a book and call people's houses blindly, then ask if the person we were looking to speak with was even there. Now, anyone can chat, text, directly call (no party lines), or otherwise connect with almost anyone and everyone at any time for any reason. I'm not saying that's entirely a benefit, because it's not, there's definite downsides to that as well, but the challenge was different.
You'll never experience having to do what I did, just to speak to and plan to meet up with your friends. That part will be easier.
What you don't know now, that you will realize later is that these memes are a way for the older generations to cope with the fact that we are indeed, getting older. It's a form of nostalgia, to remind us of the activities of our youth and the things we had no other option than to do, that younger people may never have to do.
IMO, it's not intended to be tribalism, it's intended to invoke a sense of community and nostalgia in those that experienced it.
I'm sorry that you feel like you're being attacked or left out or segregated by tribalism because of our incessant need to have some measure of solace in our rapidly deteriorating bodies by having a moment of nostalgia in the form of a funny, ha ha, meme.Yeah. Have all the hate you want for it. When you realize that shit you had to go through as a kid, nobody else will ever have to experience.... You'll be the same.
What kind of moron goes through life thinking "Every generation after mine is going to go through the exact same experiences as me!" - what made you think that? What sort of pompous, self-important shithead of a kid were you?
"The future will be just like today"
Were you dropped on your head or something?

I did this as a gen z kid after the new millennium. I did it with probably 40x contaminants than gen x ever had growing up. I apparently have a spoon weight in plastic in my brain by 25, let's see if I can drink enough water that I can fit a Frisbee up there by 30. Lets speed run this shit

Every generation is tougher than the next, but ever generation is responsible for the next.
Lol acting like these older cunts have any responsibilities to themselves or to their children is funny
-
There was a gen x?
They'll he defined as a generation thay never got to be in charge.
The youngest X-ers need colonoscopies, and the Boomers still fucking refuse to step back.

And we have to dodge bullets at school. What's your fucking point, old timer?
- Gen Z and Gen Alpha
My school was 20 minutes from one of the most deadly school shooting in the early 2010s. I went to high school with survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre. But gen z is too sensitive is all I hear. We are literally surviving a war that takes place in classrooms and cafeterias, in our developmental years. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

I'm gen z and I did this, this whole gen vs gen stuff is dumb imo.

I was going to make a pithy comment about Obama but nope turns out he's a boomer. Boomer ages are roughly Trump at the old end and Obama at the young end. So yeah y'all lost your chance at having a potus with kamala. The silent generation may manage another though, because somehow they took power and barely ceded any to the boomers.
Us millennials will get a solid decade or two of power and then you'll see. You'll all see! Who's occupying wall street now?

Shush.
First rule about Gen X, we don't remember about Gen X.

Actually, Harris was the tail-end of boomers.

The thing I find amusing about these specific memes - regarding drinking from a garden hose - is that I'm an elder millennial, my sibling is gen X, we grew up on a farm, and neither of us EVER drank from a garden hose, it just tastes fucking disgusting. I've drank from countless sketchy-ass sources, and still will never drink from a garden hose. like, why would you even do that? just unscrew the hose from the spigot at least and use that FFS
neither of us EVER drank from a garden hose, it just tastes fucking disgusting.
100 percent!
Dumb kids of all generations drink from the garden hose.
The smart ones go inside and get it from the kitchen (or disconnect the hose and drink directly from the tap which tastes perfectly fine)

Stop pitting generations against each other. -
As gen x- you open the tap, and you fucking drink. It's not rocket science.
Well, I guess you lot produced a bunch of dumb kids then.

Hold your hats because Gen X gonna be in charge eventually.

I'm not middle eastern, but plastic pipes are really common in new builds in north america now too. Garden hoses are largely made out of PVC so the same risks apply
You were talking about PVC. PVC is not the same as HDPE. It’s not the same as PE, PP, etc.
When you say plastic you include a bunch of stuff that you probably don’t mean to. Plastic refers to any material primarily composed of polymers. The coating inside your cast iron pan when you season it using food oil like avocado oil is a plastic.
North American households don’t use pvc. They use HDPE. They’re not even remotely the same. The risks are completely different, just like the difference between styrofoam and rubber.

Where's the competitive spirit in today's youth?

Stop pitting generations against each other.wrote last edited by [email protected]The whole generation thing gets so much funnier when you think how other countries exist.
Imagine you experience a military coup at age of 10 and flee to North Iraq with your family where you live for a few years until your Asylum status gets processed and come to US.
Because of how weird whole process is however you still have to stay in a migrant detention center for anywhere between 2 days to several months depending on your age and gender as they check your papers and luggage.
(It looks like this btw.)Then some highschool teacher calls you overgrown toddler because "your generation is too sissy to drink from a hose."

The tap outside is the same water you drink from the tap inside why would you need a filter
No its not

This generational bullshit is all made up by marketing assholes. None of it is legit, it's all a distraction from the class war we should all be waging.

When I was growing up, there were no cellphones and caller ID wasn't really a thing either. That's how old I am.

No, actually, I won’t. I’m in my 40s, not some kid. If your opinion is that future generations should have to struggle as much as you did or they’re somehow not as good, then a solid fuck you.
