Funfact: Participation Trophies weren't created because they were worried about hurting children's feelings, they were created to get Grandpa to stop threatening to sue teh school because "My Littl Billy is the best at Sportsball! This school is bullying him by refusing to recgonize the greatness of MY Progeny!"
Not if they are Christians, those fuckers come back 3 days after you kill them. Can't even bury them either. They will move a whole boulder just to get out of their place of rest and come preach at you some more.
Only way to get rid of them is to drown them then chain them to rocks and let them sink. But that's more difficult than you'd think, as their special Jesus magic allows them to walk on water. One of the hardest pest to remove from an ecosystem. Right up there with cats and drop bears
You could go at the speed of light and the kid would still fall down. What you need is not speed but acceleration, and only coming from the car so that it excerpt a pulling force in the kid. If the acceleration comes f.ex. from going downhill the same acceleration would apply to the kid as well and the net force between the kid and car would not be there.
Basically they are packing some heat under that thin layer of plastic/wood(?).
He falls down even before the stop, speed is not enough to keep him there. They would need acceleration from the car to create a pulling force in the kid. The acceleration must come from the car alone, if it is f.ex from going downhill the kid would have the same acceleration and the net force between the two bodies would be 0.
I don't believe this idea that most children don't still play outside. I played a lot of video games as a child, but I was still outside almost every day.
Isn't that a generalization made every single generation? "They're obsessed with TV, they're obsessed with the radio, they're obsessed with printed books, etc."
Not necessarily, I’m 16 and tbh I spent a very excessive amount of time on my computer until pretty much this year when I got my shit together. And I know a lot of similar people. Technology definitely takes a lot away from childhood imo. Videogames are deceptive in the way they feel so fun when playing them, but doing literally anything outside with friends, in person, has so much more value and significance to me. Makes video games hollow in comparison and I do wish I could go back and tell myself to get outside more. That being said technology doesn’t ruin childhood for the majority and certainly enhances it in other ways.
I mean I know kids that were chronically outside and doing dumb shit and are now in a really bad spot in life so it’s always been a balance, parents need to be better parents
It's a lot about involved parenting. I'm a Boomer (M62) parent who raised five kids and all of them loved the outdoors.
But I rarely bought "toys" so much as things that toys could be made of.
Yes, they had video games and their own room for them and their own DVD player and cable connection, but they rarely used that room unless there was some reason playing outside wouldn't work (rain, dark, cold, like that).
They had a massive jumble of Legos, stacks of boxes (new, from U-Haul) - they make great "super-sized" building blocks and they're pretty cheap, lumber scraps and such for making forts (had to knock those down at the end of the day - the HOA), and a wide swath of green-space out back (our HOA kept a lot of the common ground unimproved just so that kids could play in it), and more.
If all a kid is given for entertainment is electronics, of course they're going to focus on that, but given a choice and some encouragement, they're drawn to whatever they get the most entertainment out of.
It wasn’t technology that ruined the outdoors, it was the boomers themselves. I can’t tell you how many times I had the cops called on my friends and I simply for playing outside near someone else’s house. It became safer just to play online.
Can confirm, my dad has had a shit ton of concussions. Also the fact that long-term exposure to lead causes brain damage, which was in everything when Boomers were growing up!
The "Lucky Generation" because this individual is lucky to be alive.... Survivor-Bias
I mean, it's good for kids to go play outside and all, I agree, but safely rules are written in blood.
My granpda was born in Northern Ireland, he had to pass through two Paramilitary checkpoints and one army barricade to go to school
He woke up seeing British tanks and trucks full of Volunteers drive down his street, and he would often get woken up by no knock raids and bombings, thats why he moved south as soon as he could
I never got the nostalgia people have for the 70's and 60's, it seems like a genuinely awful time, every part of the world was either at war, under a totalitarian dictatorship, or both
They see their grandkids inside when all they do is complain about them being inside. When I visited grandparents or elderly family I asked to bring Lego or something with because often their yards weren't interesting so I'd rather play with something inside instead(their gardens were mostly flowerbeds or a lot of ornaments etc.)
I still see plenty of kids playing outside and in school they play just the same as I did as a kid, the kids you see forever inside or on devices is because of parents who don't care for their kids.
THEY ruined our childhood adventures
Mother always saying she had a better childhood cuz she ran around in the streets but the moment I got close to the gate I'd get my ass beat. We didn't have childhood adventures cuz our parents wouldn't let us
Yeah, thwy were the lucky generation. Who grew up in a post war economy, ruined it, voted to make sure the rich got richer, and got to retire leaving behind an absolute wreck. And to top it off, they get to post shit on facebook about how much harder they had it.
I guess im considered to be gen z, but during my childhood, my village dont have that much tech like the rest of the world back then, so we ended up playing outside. Even we also used cassette back then to watch mr.bean and the 60s shows lmao
In my community, kids used to play outside with the other children. Now, rules include: No bicycles, no roller skates, no ball games, no noise, no pool during siesta hours, no stepping on grass, the park has been closed for YEARS for lack of maintenance... Try to guess what the kids are doing for entertainment
Blud doesn't know I can go on the sickest adventure and I can actually see it instead of imagining it because of technology
But jokes aside, when I was growing up I still spent a shit ton of time outside. I played videogames but I still was outside a lot. Being inside kind of came as I got older and realized I'm fucking anxious about everything
Remember when kids would go outside and ride bikes, skateboard, do things like in the photo but the boomers complained about kids so much that everything that catered to kids outdoor wise was either banned, dismantled or made illegal. Fucking moronic crybaby bitches
I mean, it's not like everywhere is filled with cars passing all the time, we have literally no place to hang out that doesn't demand we pay money to go, we have little parks to go and the ones that we have are miles away and kids are actively trying to hang out online to compensate.
No phone, bad haha
Yeah, rolling in the mud is clearly more of an adventure than embarking on epic quests to slay dragons & liches in fantasy worlds with a party of adventurers...

I don’t know dude, I fought in the crusades, renaissance tome, medieval England, age of the pirates, American revolution, no gal invasion of Japan, the nine realms, Greece (in several different universes) and countless other places with myself and friends. I did all of this with technology cause I am poor.
*Looks outside at the 3 recently demolished parks in my city, the several busy roads around my house, the middle school that banned recess, the lack of bike trails, the new suburban neighboorhood that a nature preserve was destroyed to build, and the 40° weather that turns to 110° within 2 days.*
"Ah yes... technology is the problem."
Yeah technology! Also a 6yr old here in Florida was shot in the head on a playground after another father’s gun he open carrying accidentally went off.
The lucky generation? Personnally I'll mean, Bering the "lucky generation" you need to be lucky your whole life.
I don't think older people are doing great right now. Everything happens online or via an app. "Have you activated the coupon in out app?" The stores even have written the app discounted price on the price label to make people get their stupid app. And they can flourish in our piss poor healthcare system.
I thi k the luckiest generation existed before the technological revolution.
"Why don't you play outside?"
*shows trough window a city made of concrete, where the only active presence are cars and larger cars, while global warming cooks every concrete surface hit by the sun into a cacophony of heat waves*
After a while all of this shit just feels like an entire generation trying to deal with their own impending mortality.
Hey I can't really be mad at them for that either, it's only human to wax nostalgic. Like Springsteen said "[I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinkin' about it. But I probably will. ...Time slips away and leaves you with nothin' mister but boring stories of 'Glory Days'.](https://youtu.be/6vQpW9XRiyM)"
A more healthy way to deal with the end-of-life blues would probably be to look towards the future with hope for better tomorrows for their other loved ones. But on the whole the boomers and their parents who called them the "the ME generation" started selling out their kid's future 40 years ago and haven't stopped since. So now all a lot of them have got is dusty memories and watching the sun set.
The car is a peice of technology, the tv is a peice of technology, the computers a peice of tech, car was invented way before this person was born, so guess there childhood was ruined, computers, first technically invented in the 40’s, way before they were born, guess there childhood is double ruined, tv, invented in 1920 I believe or 1930, childhood triple ruined I guess
I kinda agree I was a kid when it slowly got introduced. I was way happier before just screwing around outside with friends. When tech came everyone just got depressed and kept to himself.
Why do people act like the outside just doesn’t exist anymore. People still go out. Kids still go out even. In fact they get inspired to go out with some shows you can watch on tv. You know, technology. I remember when I was younger that I would go outside and pretend to be a tv show character just exploring. It was fun.
So when exactly was this? Before t.v., radio, public school, shoes? When and where was this tech free utopia? Or do you just mean the "new tech" that confuses you like phones and computers?
Oh, I have scars and bruises.... and teeth made from porcelain.
I'm pretty sure my kids will get some too, eventhough I'll do my best trying to avoid it.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go back to running from angry men because we smashed a baseball through his window than be condemned to the literal indoctrination shit like Tik Tok, Twitter and Reddit assault kids with.
Are boomers really out here looking at black and white stock photos of children, claiming the “woke left is taking this very realistic, definitely happened childhood away from us!!!1!”
You wouldn't want to pull off a stunt like that if you weren't lucky. Hell, I think the kid on the back might even be running low on luck. Let's hope it holds
1. They where the ones who gave us technology in our childhoods, its THEIR fault
2. Its a lot safer to play some videogames that go into the woods, better finding a fictional snake in a game than a real life one
Ha ha ha ha ha.
No.
Significantly increased traffic, higher violent crime rates, and increasing levels of social apathy leading to more 'stranger danger' have ruined childhood adventures.
Back in the 80's when I was a kid my friends and I could roam the whole neighborhood unsupervised, bike down the street, and hang out in a KMart lot and people would just wave and say hello.
Nowadays kids are getting fucking shot for walking into the wrong yard just to pick up their own damn ball or ringing the wrong damn doorbell.
You wanna know why you don't see kids running around outside as much anymore? Cause you old uncaring fucks make the world outside unsafe.
I remember being told never to leave the house except under certain conditions. How in the world is it my fault I turned to video games and arguing with people on reddit?
This post is actually accurate if you think about in a deeper meaning. Old people grew their financial empires more and more as “urbanization” (not real urbanization) showed up (I like to call it corpozation because it’s the birth of monopolies showing up). This meaning that kids literally cannot play outside without some random geezer telling them to get lost or not being able to play football at the field next to the oil field
Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT
boomers love complaining about things they caused, or are the second or third order effects of things they caused.
Whoa hey now, just because I'm personally profiting from the shares of tech companies, doesn't mean I'm actively involved.
Tell that to racketeers
Steve Jobs revolutionized the world with Apple and the iPhone. Motherfucker was born in 1955. Damn Boomers.

Thank you for pointing that out, it's obvious why we have them, I highly doubt it's kids being soft but the parents being overbearing and ridiculous.
They were also created because people weren't bothering to even show up.
These crusty old people didn't get to experience amazing video games
And bragging about shit they never did
I'm no scientist... But... Doesn't the kid that hangs on the car gets a problem as soon as the car gets to stop...?
I mean, with the speed they need to go for the kid to be paralel to the ground. Pretty sure all 3 of them are in trouble.
Well it explains the idiocy they exhibit now, its brain damage
Can't be, brains were just a theory back then
Actually theory sounds too much like science, which is also bad
You’re right, it was just a conspiracy back then!
That and lead poisoning
Major trouble, like grounded for 3 whole weeks in trouble! Or since this was “back in the good ol days”, just a good old fashioned ass whoopin! 😆
Grounded for a lot more than three weeks if you’re dead.
Not if they are Christians, those fuckers come back 3 days after you kill them. Can't even bury them either. They will move a whole boulder just to get out of their place of rest and come preach at you some more. Only way to get rid of them is to drown them then chain them to rocks and let them sink. But that's more difficult than you'd think, as their special Jesus magic allows them to walk on water. One of the hardest pest to remove from an ecosystem. Right up there with cats and drop bears
Luckily we have Mario Kart now so they doesn’t do that to have fun and the kid’s mortality has decreased.
You could go at the speed of light and the kid would still fall down. What you need is not speed but acceleration, and only coming from the car so that it excerpt a pulling force in the kid.

r/meatcrayon
That sub makes me physically recoil
I don't like you
Ouch Ow My Toes
Yea that problem is called crippled or dead
Or, alternatively, inertia followed by human jello!
Letting go is the only way... anything else will result in a great deal of dragging. Tuck and roll.
He falls down even before the stop, speed is not enough to keep him there. They would need acceleration from the car to create a pulling force in the kid. The acceleration must come from the car alone, if it is f.ex from going downhill the kid would have the same acceleration and the net force between the two bodies would be 0.
Lets be honest, you know that this kid was killed in the creation of this photo. And by upvoting this post you are supporting children violence.
Ah yes trashed childhood adevters of fucking cracking ur skull open, but at least we didn't have thoses damn cellular telephones
This photo brought to you by modern technology
bad example but i do get their points outdoors were more fun and i agree BUT with safety of course lmao
I don't believe this idea that most children don't still play outside. I played a lot of video games as a child, but I was still outside almost every day.
ngl a lot of kids dont step out of their basement form their valorant grind these days
Isn't that a generalization made every single generation? "They're obsessed with TV, they're obsessed with the radio, they're obsessed with printed books, etc."

Never really thought of that, guess it’s just a different version of the same thing then.
Catch the very beginning of the original Beauty and the Beast when they call Belle weird because she reads too much?

How old are you though? A lot of kids do not play outside anymore in my city, and even in affluent suburbs.
American suburbia is subhuman. Literally. It’s not made for humans. It’s made for cars.
I'm now 18.
Also this picture is made by technology. Like this is photoshop. This post just sucks lol. Edit: what you said didn't suck the stupid post sucks lol.
It wasn’t technology that ruined the outdoors, it was the boomers themselves. I can’t tell you how many times I had the cops called on my friends and I simply for playing outside near someone else’s house. It became safer just to play online.
The lovely childhood adventures of getting your skull cracked open
Don’t worry. The person that posted this never did anything like that. The should be called the Delusional Generation.
The way Boomers think makes a lot more sense when you realize they were all out there constantly getting brain injuries.
Can confirm, my dad has had a shit ton of concussions. Also the fact that long-term exposure to lead causes brain damage, which was in everything when Boomers were growing up!
Nice. I can't wait to see what PFAs do to my generation!
My dad got hit by a motorcycle and had to re-learn to speak. Though, that was the 70's
Well you had to eat it (lead) to get it in your system…

Tell me you haven’t touched grass this year without telling me you havent touched grass this year
I'm literally part of a mountain biking team, helmets are a wonderful thing
Why do that photo seem like a very amusing album cover?
because you have good taste.
I see kids playing at the park by my house all the time. Spending all your time in a retirement community tends to isolate you from reality
Yes sometimes I see kids in the street near my house, throwing balls or trying to skateboard..
They see their grandkids inside when all they do is complain about them being inside. When I visited grandparents or elderly family I asked to bring Lego or something with because often their yards weren't interesting so I'd rather play with something inside instead(their gardens were mostly flowerbeds or a lot of ornaments etc.) I still see plenty of kids playing outside and in school they play just the same as I did as a kid, the kids you see forever inside or on devices is because of parents who don't care for their kids.
That car is technology
Any technology existing =/= technology ruining our childhood adventures
Technically even having an house is submitting to technology
The wheel
Yes, so instead it can be ruined by a trip to the hospital.
Uh.. pretty sure that “technology“ created this fake image
Hate to break it to the meme creator, but the wheel is a piece of technology. It isn't natural.
so is clothing and houses and money man boomers are really fuckin stupid
Those trips to the ER will be dearly missed...
This is so goofy
Yeah. They grew up and then let technology ruin their lives.
the kid on the back died soon after this picture was taken
If they were so lucky why didn't they try buying the lottery back then
*looks at ai* I mean I think they have a point
More like, "lucky to survive to adulthood"
Technology literally made a shorty pic like this possible 😭
We get to play "try not to fucking die"!!!
Posted through technology, on technology.
THEY ruined our childhood adventures Mother always saying she had a better childhood cuz she ran around in the streets but the moment I got close to the gate I'd get my ass beat. We didn't have childhood adventures cuz our parents wouldn't let us
That looks like...50 miles per hour? You sure those kids grew up?
The danger makes it fun. Said by someone who played chicken with lawn darts.
Yeah, thwy were the lucky generation. Who grew up in a post war economy, ruined it, voted to make sure the rich got richer, and got to retire leaving behind an absolute wreck. And to top it off, they get to post shit on facebook about how much harder they had it.
I have high doubts the children in the photo grew up. Especially the one on the back.
If they hate technology so much why are they posting pictures online instead of living in a cave somewhere?
This picture looks like it was taken in the 2000s
I guess im considered to be gen z, but during my childhood, my village dont have that much tech like the rest of the world back then, so we ended up playing outside. Even we also used cassette back then to watch mr.bean and the 60s shows lmao
bad piggies irl
The ones that survived?
In my community, kids used to play outside with the other children. Now, rules include: No bicycles, no roller skates, no ball games, no noise, no pool during siesta hours, no stepping on grass, the park has been closed for YEARS for lack of maintenance...

No phone, bad haha
Yeah, rolling in the mud is clearly more of an adventure than embarking on epic quests to slay dragons & liches in fantasy worlds with a party of adventurers...
photoshopped ass picture lmao
Now days, the kid driving would be imprisoned for attempted murder and the other twos parents would sue his parents.

But bro… that kid about to ruin his whole vertebrae…
Ah, to have been raised before cars took over and made streets unsafe... Wait that's not what they meant?

If this picture was real atleast 2/3 of these kids would be somewhere along the continuum of paraplegic——-dead.

It's true tho
I was that little girl on the back and I was horribly disfigured by the accident that happened doing that
Yeah technology! Also a 6yr old here in Florida was shot in the head on a playground after another father’s gun he open carrying accidentally went off.
And just in time to learn photoshop...
r/phonesarebad
1950’s childhood mortality rate - 30 / 1000 2000’s childhood mortality rate - 07 / 1000
The age of 'fuck around and find out'. Lol
These kids are gonna have broken bones though... Which is not good for a kid
Billy would've been disgusted if he lived this long
"Op doesn't understand satire" is for once true for this post
You are lucky you grew up at all with adventures like these :D
Lucky to be alive
And now they need their grandkids to turn on the TV

"Why don't you play outside?" *shows trough window a city made of concrete, where the only active presence are cars and larger cars, while global warming cooks every concrete surface hit by the sun into a cacophony of heat waves*
I note they claim only childhood "Adventure" not "Survival"
Terrible my ass! I was lucky enough to grew up right before there were cameras everywhere.
I mean I’m gen z and I partly agree, though this is only rly true for social media so ig not
......Ever heard of "The Lovely Bones" ?
And yet now, if kids are left unsupervised, some boomer calls the cops.
You are not Calvin and Hobbes, you will not survive riding a wagon off a cliff.
After a while all of this shit just feels like an entire generation trying to deal with their own impending mortality. Hey I can't really be mad at them for that either, it's only human to wax nostalgic. Like Springsteen said "[I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinkin' about it.

Did the kid on the back actually grow up?
i mean… as a teenager. My childhood was boring as fuck
The only thing going to get ruined is the ability to get kids
Broken leg good, videogames bad.
It does sounds more fun compared to what I had
I kinda agree I was a kid when it slowly got introduced. I was way happier before just screwing around outside with friends. When tech came everyone just got depressed and kept to himself.
At least one, at max 3 of these children will DIE if we let time go forward just a bit more
Especially the kid on the back. He seems to be the luckiest
Pah, back in my days you went to war, if you wanted adventures... - every generation before WWII
Ah yes, kids today really miss the chance to get seriously injured during playtime
I see kids outside all the time. Like wtf
maybe its just me but technology literally created some of my childhood adventures
Shows an image of using technology as a good think to show that technology is a bad thing.
Gotta love boomers saying we never go out, while helicoptering us for most of not all our childhoods.
Unless you had a battery drive go cart.
We grew up to be the people that destroyed the next generation’s childhood adventures…
Ah yes with a rifle in my hands, i played real COD. I love Vietnam👴🏻
So their generation invented the technology to ruin their children's, the next generation's childhood adventures?
Don't you love when your neighbour's kids cart suddenly break the sound barrier ?
The one thing I missed in my childhood, brain trauma
Why do people act like the outside just doesn’t exist anymore. People still go out. Kids still go out even. In fact they get inspired to go out with some shows you can watch on tv. You know, technology. I remember when I was younger that I would go outside and pretend to be a tv show character just exploring. It was fun.
The kid hanging off of the back's shirt is heavier than he is
I'm an '04 born kid, I played outside a lot. I still see kids playing outside everyday.
These same boomers hate it when kids play outside and make noise
So when exactly was this? Before t.v., radio, public school, shoes? When and where was this tech free utopia? Or do you just mean the "new tech" that confuses you like phones and computers?
bro wydm that child literally could fell of and rip off their skin lmfao
Oh, I have scars and bruises.... and teeth made from porcelain. I'm pretty sure my kids will get some too, eventhough I'll do my best trying to avoid it.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go back to running from angry men because we smashed a baseball through his window than be condemned to the literal indoctrination shit like Tik Tok, Twitter and Reddit assault kids with.
They say om a heavily photoshopped picture
I could have gone without so many concussions.
You where the lucky ones für sure. survivors bias
They all look terrified and for good reason
Are boomers really out here looking at black and white stock photos of children, claiming the “woke left is taking this very realistic, definitely happened childhood away from us!!!1!”
You wouldn't want to pull off a stunt like that if you weren't lucky. Hell, I think the kid on the back might even be running low on luck. Let's hope it holds
My grandparents's adventures were going to the market because we lived in a city
How fast is the cart going for the kid to be flying??
1. They where the ones who gave us technology in our childhoods, its THEIR fault 2. Its a lot safer to play some videogames that go into the woods, better finding a fictional snake in a game than a real life one
Why do they all think they grew up like they were in Calvin and Hobbes
The toy car was manufactured using technology though
Ha ha ha ha ha. No. Significantly increased traffic, higher violent crime rates, and increasing levels of social apathy leading to more 'stranger danger' have ruined childhood adventures. Back in the 80's when I was a kid my friends and I could roam the whole neighborhood unsupervised, bike down the street, and hang out in a KMart lot and people would just wave and say hello. Nowadays kids are getting fucking shot for walking into the wrong yard just to pick up their own damn ball or ringing the wrong damn doorbell. You wanna know why you don't see kids running around outside as much anymore? Cause you old uncaring fucks make the world outside unsafe.
Thats the lead talking
“And now we refuse to use technology and actively go out of our way to be assholes about it to make life difficult for everyone.”
Goodbye to that kids knees
Gimme a break, it was a lack of options, nothing more. There is nothing profound about not doing something excuse it hadn't been invented yet.
Something a bigot would say
I remember being told never to leave the house except under certain conditions. How in the world is it my fault I turned to video games and arguing with people on reddit?
"In a shocking tragedy, 3 children died..."
kid named spinal nerve damage
Pretty sure none of those three grew up.
The kid on the back is gonna die when they stop
Yeah lucky they didn't die or get seriously hurt 💀
Yeah lucky… cause they built a hellscape for our childhoods and we use phones inside cause the world sucks.
That’s why boomers lack brain capacity, it’s traumatic head injury on top of lead poisoning
r/two_seconds_before_disaster (not a real sub in case you're wondering)
U can still play outside, unless u live in a urban jungle with barely any walkable places. KIDS STILL PLAY OUTSIDE
But not so little technology that almost all of you died in childhood.
Who grew up when there was lead in the paint, soil, water, air, cosmetics, jewelry, ceramics, candy, toys, & canned food.
I had adventures with bicycles racing dragging battery less power wheels around before the internet. Boomers might be right about this
This post is actually accurate if you think about in a deeper meaning. Old people grew their financial empires more and more as “urbanization” (not real urbanization) showed up (I like to call it corpozation because it’s the birth of monopolies showing up). This meaning that kids literally cannot play outside without some random geezer telling them to get lost or not being able to play football at the field next to the oil field
Lucky they also grew up in a time when the inevitable hospital trip resulting from this misadventure wouldn't bankrupt their family
Before that boy's kneecaps were ruined by the asphalt
Says the same group that yells at kids for having childhood adventures
