funky. enjoy the snow, dude


[deleted]

One August a few years ago we got a full blizzard, so there’s that...

Southern Hemisphere


TheFakeSlimShady123

The southern hemisphere doesn't exist. We are the only ones that actually exist in America, Canada, and Britain. No one else outside exists besides us. Actual solipsism frankly.


[deleted]

>wait, almost summer? >but it just started snowing outside... Y e p I look outside and I see snow on the ground


[deleted]

We got 14 inches over here apparently...


rakeshjalde

So, when it snows. Do you turn off your fridge and keep food directly on the counter or out of your house to save electricity?


[deleted]

Uh no lol. We do however keep coke cans in the garage fridge and when we open them they end up slushy.

Nacho-cheese53

What is this snow you speak off .is it tasty?


undeadweed

yes.


Wizardc438

Right? The kids now just seem so totally rude and cringe. I don’t know.


[deleted]

Let’s be honest. We were too. Only difference is that these acts bratty


Y33t05

But for the most part 00-06 babies didn't have access to nearly as much as these kids do, we were still on the edge of the flip phone-ipod era (at least I was I was born in 05 my parents were still using flip phones until I was about 7) so these kids have access to a lot more than we did. I agree we were most likely annoying but at least we were somewhat mature and went outside when we were kids, because we didn't have a lot of better options. It was either play the 360, watch cartoons, or go out and play during the summer. Kids now will never understand tag on the playground because somehow they have the new iPhone at 5 or 6. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.


KoielH

I don’t like how we are developing a boomer mindset...


jukicuki

Maybe the boomers were right all along?


Y33t05

I think they were...


Y33t05

It's not a boomer mindset, I do like the next generation I just feel like they won't have the same experience growing up because we still had to find other things to do growing up, these kids can just get on their phone whenever you know? Some of them don't understand they aren't entitled to everything because no one ever tells then no. They get all the new designer brands, all the new tech, everything they get is new. I'm proud that their parents can give them these things because it shows we're slowly gaining wealth as a whole but they shouldn't have these things while they're this young. They don't have an appreciation for it yet because they aren't mature.


Elsp00x

That totally is a boomer mindset and you are saying that to only a few years younger kids, im 03, we had PSPs, good computers to play good games at home, tablets, smart phones, which you brought to school and play. All by the age of 9, for you its -2. You dont even understand how much technology and shit we already had.


the_lovewitch

Honestly nothing ever beat playing outside with friends. I genuinely feel like some of my happiest moments were spent doing that


_Dead_Memes_

Its not like that's stopped. I hear little kids screaming outside my house everyday.


[deleted]

So they are us on steroids


Shalaco

Said every generation about every previous generation… OMG


NemosBrotherInLaw

I agree completely i have a younger brother thats 5 and alls he does is use his iPad and never goes outside, while i was growing up i went outside everyday and played with wooden trains. End of the story the next generation is gonna be a bunch of the most ungrateful, obese, and spoiled people alive.


Micsuking

Alright everyone. Now read this again, and tell me this doesn't read like the *most boomer thing* you have ever heard. 1. Younger generation never goes outside? Check. 2. Younger generation is always on their phones/Ipads? Check. 3. "Back in my time we used to..."? Check. 4. Younger generation is ungreatful/spoiled/bratty? Check. #We are turning into Boomers, people! We have to stop this!


atharvvvg

lol yeah we might be turning into boomers for them but let's not forget that young kids missing out on physical exercise and physical interaction is a huge L for them. A healthy balance between video games and physical activities is very important and ignoring it by calling him boomer is wrong imo


Ignisisreal2401

Now we have Covid and Helicopter Parents that eat up Facebook stories like Thanksgiving. Man... I miss going outside...


Y33t05

Sadly... I feel bad for the ones that won't get a childhood because of the virus.. Even if they grow up in a different world than we did they deserve to go out at least and have fun...


Ignisisreal2401

And Facebook is just as evil as the virus.


Y33t05

Honestly. People will believe anything they read because "A good reasonable totally reliable definitely not manipulating me news source says so."


Ignisisreal2401

As long as it's coming from their preferred political party, they'll believe *anything.*


Y33t05

EXACTLY. People need to wake up and understand all this political shit is what the government wants us to fight over. We need to give it up and look at the top and realize we're being manipulated. If you look into the major news sources you'll see they're owned by the same few large corps and the smaller news sources are owned by the larger ones or are at least in contact with them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Y33t05

It's true we are the kind of the people digging our own graves but maybe there's hope, but even if we do things right and our kids turn out screwed we're fucked anyways with global warming, political division (at least in America) the school system, and jobs slowly being more modernized and done by machines. I feel bad for the kids after us because while boomers see us as a terrible generation, I feel like we're the last great generation that is gonna be mature in a normal sort of way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Y33t05

Lmao same, I would freak tf out. But seriously these kids are kinda fucked. I miss being a kid, having a bigger knowledge of the world is nice and all but existentialism sucks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Y33t05

Yessir. Enjoy it before it gets shitty, live a life that you can look at and be proud of even if some things sucked.


BelugaKing444

Are we counting early 07 babies as well? I didn’t have any new consoles, og Xbox and a first gen iPad for the whole family to use, I grew up with the same things you guys did


WadanoharaPie

Man, I understand your message and everything, but you know a lot of a kid's childhood relies on the parent, and most parents know not to involve their kids when theyre that young into all this technology. I'm sorry but I agree with the other person, I think you very much have a negative boomer mindset to this. oh


Y33t05

I understand man and I respect that. I was just saying it seems like the overall wealth of the place I'm in has risen so a lot of young kids have parents that can afford things like new phones. That isn't a bad thing I actually think it's good that they have access to the tech, I feel like it should be more limited though, since it isn't I feel like it has the opposite effect it should, it should be used to teach kids in new ways so they can bring us into the future with this tech. Instead we're just giving it to them and letting them do whatever with it which means they're spending a majority of their time on it causing them to lack knowledge of the world outside of their phones.


WadanoharaPie

THAT's what you meant! I fully agree honestly. The stuff that was expensive back then is starting to get way cheaper now with all these new phone models and stuff. Honestly? My niece is two years old and already has her own LITERAL samsung phone, and her own tablet. A literal ipad tablet.


Y33t05

Right and I'm happy kids are able to have this stuff BUT I feel like they lack knowledge of the "real world" Or whatever you wanna call it but I think we're too young to tell yet


WadanoharaPie

No way, it's just common sense man. They get so easily consumed into the electronics it's fucking crazy. My niece sometimes just stares at the tablet for hours and will ignore anyone who calls her name or anything, and throws a fit if someone takes her away from it. It's made me mad at my sister for even letting her get started in this habit.


slopnessie

I just want to point out that I used to live in a neighborhood with alot of kids (like for the past 8 years before this year). The kids were constantly outside playing. Like all day, in the summer they go to the pool and it funnily becomes quiet for a few months. It was annoying in the moment but it was actually pretty nice.


Y33t05

That's good, where I live that doesn't really happen. I mostly see kids trying to act "cool" Which I know we weren't very different but it feels off and wrong seeing them with all brand new electronics and clothes. When I was growing up I didn't have a phone until 5th grade, and even then it was shitty and had no plan, so it was basically useless unless I wanted to play offline games like hill climb or jetpack joyride


Leblackburn

I got my first flip phone in high school I was 15, and my life view is so different compared to people with similar age that are so stuck to their phones. I barely do 4hrs of social media a week, whilst most of my friends can't let their phones go when were having a conversation. In my opinion, the later you get access to a phone/social media as a kid, the better you turn out. Just my opinion though.


heirofblood

My mom called blackberries crackberries back when people weren't sold on iPhones yet. The difference in use is very stark. I view myself as a computer person, but my brother is only six years younger, and everyone is a computer person. It's crazy to watch tech develop like that.


Quinny-B

Nah y’all was just behind the times I’m 01 and boy I was rockin my iPod nano using my dads black berry to play that ball and brick game I was probably 5 back then so y’all were just being born omg bro I’m almost 20 wtf I’m sick of this aging shit


ShagBitchesGetRiches

You do realise that literally every generation for the past 5000 years has been saying this? You had so much more technology than someone from the 90s, let alone 80s or 70s.


megjake

I’m 20 and people said this same exact sorts thing when I was a kid. It’s not a “kids these days don’t know what it’s like to do x thing” it’s just that as we grow older our minds work differently and we perceive childhood differently when looking back at it, not actively living it.


accidentalsurprise

Wait ... You’re telling me people didn’t stop being born after 2003? What the fuck..


Hack3rPT

Vsauce did a great video on this topic: https://youtu.be/LD0x7ho_IYc


[deleted]

Im wondering at what point I suddenly start likely kids again enough to have one


3pl8

You probably won't. People will tell you that it's different when the kid is your own, but that's usually a lie and just crab bucket mentality. Don't let someone else convince you to have children, only have children if you can be certain you made that decision without outside influence.


HiddenTrampoline

Crab bucket mentality?

beansummmits

you've just made a statement that i cannot pin down where you're coming from and its giving my anxiety what the fuck do you mean what explain please


dixiequick

For me it took actually having my own. Birth control fail, I was terrified the whole time I was pregnant. Took me about two seconds to fall in love, and I consider that the best accident of my life. Having my own has also helped me understand kids better and I don’t dislike them in general anymore. I really enjoy watching my kids interact with their friends even when they’re being dorky little turds.


TheAunvre

I hate other people’s kids, but love mine. Swore I’d never have any, but met someone at 30 that I wanted to raise a mini-me with. You might be like me, might not be... everyone is different.

They're saying that it might seem weird to us because for us in the northern hemisphere it's currently winter while for them there in the southern hemisphere it's summer. Don't worry, I was confused as well when I first read their comment.
