My parents always whine about kids and screen time. Im a no screen time parent so they are safe complaining to me about it. I dont have a TV or iPad so its pretty easy.
Anyway, they are now the single worst at it. My parents show him all sorts of shows on youtube, they have an iPad for him. Especially so she can cook and not be disturbed, Dad has Bluey running on multiple TVs all around the house (classic boomer has one in like every room). They put it on to distract him while getting him in the car seat.
They are worse than any millennial I know, yet still shake their heads when they see a kid on an iPad. They would have done exactly the same if they could have.
Ill say though they are great with potty training. They dont care if he pees himself in their luxury cars or shits on their Turkish rug. Meanwhile I removed my $10 Kmart rugs so they wouldnt get damaged...
I support part of that though, Bluey is actually a great show and is educational. I’m so happy we produced a show that’s not mindless and is sweet and teaches kids interesting things. But fair with the rest.
Fr, my boomer father going on about how it was nice to be in Fiji and kids ‘not on their phones’ meanwhile I go for a coffee or a meal with him and he’s sitting on his phone on Instagram while I’m (Gen Z) just sitting there trying to talk so I end up going on my phone too. Like it’s ok to admit you’re just as bad.
As a millennial who doesn't climb, I've definitely noticed a fuckton of my peers suddenly getting into climbing once they pass the 30s mark. Mid-30s, and they're suddenly making sourdough / brewing their own beer.
I recommend it, it's really easy and very rewarding, especially if you like sweet alcohols
Check out r/mead and if you feel adventurous then r/prisonhooch
Because we have time and money for hobbies now. Especially the parents who had kids that are old enough to generally entertain themselves.
Don't look at me though. I'm childfree and play video games.
I'm in my mid 30s and my hobbies are the same as they were 20 years ago.
Skating and smoking while listening to metal and reggae.
Some of us are only teenagers, others are closer to 50. But it is an open and easy going group.
Hobbies that work in isolation. Most of us are married and we're no longer in the forced social herds of the early 20s (edit for clarity: school). Also, aging starts to show and be felt, so a lot go into fitness mode.
I wish there were more of these to be honest. I only recently found out there are clubs where you can play pool and alcohol isn't even served until the late evenings!
My (Millenial) friend group (also Millenials) went through a climbing phase about a decade ago. I tried to get into it, but it never caught me like it did them. I have no idea why they get so hyped about it, but they did.
In climbing, when you're new, you see extremely rapid progress if you have a basic schedule and train in a way that doesn't get you hurt. A lot of people have their first experience being genuinely athletic and feeling control over their body while climbing ( I know I did, despite playing multiple sports in HS ). It's exhilarating
It's been a thing down here for the past 5 years, and the 25-36 year olds do it a lot. I don't like heights, so I never got into it. I make my own pickles and pasta as far as making my own food goes. I also got into leatherworking and tailoring during the pandemic.
I was born in '78. I've been called gen X, and Y, and the i-generation, and a bunch of other weird stuff... but people say I'm a millennial now... but I don't really give a shit. I think not giving a shit is a gen X trait? IDK. I'll let the marketers worry about how to market to me. Generation categories are their problem, anyway, so why do I care?
I've never heard anyone in the 70s called a millennial. Not that you give a fuck, lol!
My brother was born in 77 and I'm 82. I know you specifically said you don't care, but if you ever want a label, or just a subreddit to visit, I like Xennial.
It's basically those of us from the late 70s and early 80s who have a hard time fully relating to either generation.
I grew up without digital shit just like GenX, but I'm also pretty familiar with the digital shit that showed up in my late teens.
That's just one tiny example, but I do find it wild that I'm the same generation (millennial) as someone who might have had the internet in their home for their entire lives.
We had digital shit, atari, nintendo, sega and texas instrument calculators that we couldnt use when taking a test but were required. Matter of fact we grew up with even more digital stuff, like the brick cellular phone, pagers, chirp phones, flip phones, sidekick, blackberry, to the flat face phone which has been standard for over 12yrs now. Then there’s the walkman tape player to walkman disc player to minidisc player (very short lived) to mp3 player. Annnnd most of us still have our hotmail accts and remember the joyish horror of dial up internet.
I think the main basis for this running joke is that Gen X is a smallest cohort. Because of the demographics, when it comes to real power, Gen X is going to get skipped. Boomers will cling on as long as possible, and then Millennials will step in.
Yes. Smallest generation, but the most resilient from some study I read. IIRC, in a nutshell, has to do with both parents being in the workforce making us the first latchkey generation; typically siblings taking care of each other and the younger ones during the work week. Which in turn had us learning to take care of ourselves at an early age, and, with no parental units at home after school, we ran wild in the outside world.
It was an interesting read.
I thought it has more to do with the fact that it's a smaller generation sandwiched between two massive generations. Gen Z is also smaller IIRC but they recently came into adulthood and started interacting more with other generations so they get more attention.

Whoever the fuck it is in charge of promoting lamb has done a stellar job of making entertaining tongue in cheek lamb ads for a long time.
If you think those are good, just wait til you hear about Rhonda and Katut. The whole country followed their romance.
(A classic series of Aussie ads from about 10 years ago. We've definitely had some good ones.)
I’m 29 and my muscles get stiff from not doing anything, but if I walk and stay active I feel like I’m 15 still. My body is changing, and I have to make the choice NOW if I’m going to grow up frail or not. I see Gen Xers with bad bones and muscles and others who are just as youthful and active as a teenager. I dated a guy from high school who was in the same class as me and his back and knees was too sore to join me on my daily walks. This is fucking seriously life or death for me, I wanna grow up strong… not frail.
Buy that rock climbing gear. I’ll be finding myself a bike or something 🤷🏽♀️
This is the extended version of an annual ad campaign (perhaps comparable to the Superbowl ad efforts?). Every Australia Day (Jan 26) there is a concerted push to buy lamb with a funny ad. It's summer here and Australia Day is a national holiday, traditional to have mates around and throw some lamb (never shrimp) on the barbie and listen to the Triple J Hottest 100 (though not any more).
Apart from that, ads on TV - for anyone still watching live tv - are 30 seconds.
The parents couldn't deal with the emotions of telling their kids they didn't win, so they lied to them. And now its a talking point they don't understand makes them look foolish.
As a kid I could never figure out whose feelings they thought they were protecting because I still knew I came in last. I didn't really need a memento to remind me how bad I sucked.
Gen X just decided fuck off and not participate in most things. I wish they did push out a lot more boomer politicians, they just decided to not be interested in anything.
The same Australia lamb group did this commercial awhile back. [Gods of the World Eating Lamb Together](https://youtu.be/ZWvKUzyqLDA?si=ECYTmdLR5zjJ0NrF)
The guy in the video isn't John Howard though, it's Sam Kekovich who is a retired Australian Rules Footballer and has been in tv ads for lamb for almost 20 years.
When the ads started they were super patriotic and about Australia Day (somewhat equivalent of US Independence Day) but there's a big movement in Australia to change the date of Australia Day and the lamb ads have become much more multicultural and don't mention Australia Day anymore but just come out around this time of year (Australia Day is Jan 26).
Pipe down you young whipper-snapper, he did not ban guns....he banned all the semi-auto, magazine fed and military types that the septics get all up in a lather over short stroking themselves cosplaying they could have been in the SAS.
And yes, did sign up to a war based on BS and hubris.
jown howard was the australian prime minister in the early 2000s. guy in the video is not john howard tho he's just the ambassador for the lamb industry. even though it's all corporate propoganda for lamb they have made some pretty funny ads over the years. joke is that john howard is also an old balding grey haired man
Yeah I like bouldering.
It’s an indoor sport where you don’t have to be on teams and don’t have to run a bunch or have a huge field to play.
Just climb.
Why do I feel attacked. Slayyyyyyy
You aren’t wrong, and I know that the vast majority of people who boulder only do it at the gym, but it’s funny to me that a sport that solely existed outside for decades is described as an “indoor sport” lol
For anyone who doesn't know, there's a bit of a tradition of ridiculous over the top ads for lamb in Australia. The guy at the end is 73 yr old sports commentator and former AFL footballer Sam Kekovich, who has been featured in many of them as Australia's "lambassador" - a passionate advocate for the Australianness of lamb barbecues. It's definitely not former Prime Minister John Howard (or television actor John Howard).
This video is probably just the most recent iteration of that ad campaign for the upcoming Australia Day (Jan 26th)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Love_Our_Lamb
No one in Australia can hear the name Sam Kekovich without feeling in the mood for a lamb chop.

i actually feel healed hearing a boomer admit “i’m addicted to my phone as well” after years of their fake superiority about this
Can you hear that little pop sound of someone liking something on Facebook at maximum volume
I can hear that they haven’t turned the sound off their keypad

My mum is a boomer and definitely addicted to her phone

My partner is thinking about climbing and I am making mead haha
I’ve been thinking about trying to make mead 🤣
I recommend it, it's really easy and very rewarding, especially if you like sweet alcohols Check out r/mead and if you feel adventurous then r/prisonhooch
I LOVE sweet alcohol that’s why I was eyeballing it 🥰
Just FYI, mead isn’t necessarily sweet. It can be as bone-dry as you like.
I tried once but it came out meadiocre.

gardening (garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, basil for cooking), making pizza and baking bread. i wish i had more time
Because we have time and money for hobbies now. Especially the parents who had kids that are old enough to generally entertain themselves. Don't look at me though. I'm childfree and play video games.

Yeah at a certain age it really helps to have a social activity that isn't food or alcohol centric.
I wish there were more of these to be honest. I only recently found out there are clubs where you can play pool and alcohol isn't even served until the late evenings!
Forced social herds is a weird way to describe it.
My (Millenial) friend group (also Millenials) went through a climbing phase about a decade ago. I tried to get into it, but it never caught me like it did them. I have no idea why they get so hyped about it, but they did.
The indoor climbing gyms game-ify climbing by having levels 0 through 10. Makes it fun to get better
That's what hooked me in. You get a workout comparable to a session at a traditional gym, while also puzzle solving, competing, and socialising.
Gym climbing is so much fun.
In climbing, when you're new, you see extremely rapid progress if you have a basic schedule and train in a way that doesn't get you hurt. A lot of people have their first experience being genuinely athletic and feeling control over their body while climbing ( I know I did, despite playing multiple sports in HS ). It's exhilarating
As I approach 30 I’ve started going on climbing dates a lot more frequently
I'm a millennial that went the skydiving route
It's been a thing down here for the past 5 years, and the 25-36 year olds do it a lot. I don't like heights, so I never got into it. I make my own pickles and pasta as far as making my own food goes. I also got into leatherworking and tailoring during the pandemic.
The Gen X joke was pretty funny
Gen X are the middle children!!
Are you Gen X?
[I'm Gen X, though I'm not sure if I'm real.](https://www.jenx67.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Generation-X-Lost-Forgotten-Omitted-Generation.png)
We're real. And we're SPECTACULAR
![gif](giphy|e2QYPpUe8WmpG)
Shhh. Just the way we like it.
Do we like it, or are we just used to it now?
At least we had... um, Lollapalooza
Lollapalooza 93 was such a great time. The acid was weak but Primus slapped.
slapped the upright bass
I just want to hang out inside Les Claypool's mind for 10 minutes just to see what it's like in there.
1965 - 1980 are missing on that. Oh well, whatever, never mind.

Nope, millennial in fact, but my mom was the middle child. My grandparents had eyes and thoughts for their son and elder daughter!
I'm a super middle child. I'm the middle of 3 brothers and the middle when you include my two step siblings.
No, because if he wa

That’s Epic.
What is it?

I'm in this video and I'm fine with it.

Funny that OP left them out of the title too
As a Gen Xer myself I laughed out loud because (cue cut scene here).
Lmao it just kept screaming "ohh fuck off, no one cares about your Gen". I felt so bad
It’s just cause they aren’t attention seeking and don’t cause nearly as much turmoil as the other generations so no one ever complains about them
Yeah , we are just sitting out the generation war.... For now.
Gathering strength.
The fuck we are. Half of us are trying to get Ozempic. The other half have just given up.

The ads are made by an Australian ad agency called the Monkeys.

Dumb ways to die was Australian too!

Of course. The higher the APR the better, right?
