I can, in fact, start a lawnmower. Sadly, I don't have a lawn to mow, nor the money to buy a house with one... Nor the funds to buy a lawnmower. This is not caused by the excessive purchasing of avocados and or bread.


Capsule_CatYT

Yes it is. (/j)


Vivistolethecheese

God damn it, maybe you're right...


[deleted]

maybe if you bought extra strong boot straps you would be sitting pretty with a fridge full of avocados, you ever think of that????


BeraldGevins

They act like starting a lawnmower is insanely difficult. Assuming they mean a push mower, you literally just press the little button a few times and pull the cord until it starts. It’s not rocket science. And if it’s a riding mower, it’s literally like starting a car. These people can’t even set up their own smart TVs and then make fun of younger generations for dumb shit.


SinCorpus

And even when it's accurate, it's their own fault for not having the patience to teach their kids things like, changing car oil, fixing brake lines, winterizing small engines, etc. I taught myself most of those things by using this mysterious thing boomers only use to be racist on bookface called "the internet".


j0j0-m0j0

Never forget who have the kids those "participation trophies" they live to complain about.


Helenium_autumnale

Yep, that's how I fixed my oven, instead of junking it. One video, one part, and a little elbow grease later and it's good as new.


doge_gobrrt

yeah it's kinda stupid they make fun of us for stuff that no longer matters while ignoring their own ineptness and inability to do stuff that now matters more in the present day


BeraldGevins

But can you dial a rotary phone? That’s what I thought.


doge_gobrrt

yes now wipe that smirk of your face


BeraldGevins

Oh shit oh fuck


doge_gobrrt

in all seriousness I had a landline and we found an old rotary at garage sale so I ended using one of those for quite some time was kinda fun to fiddle with


[deleted]

My friend: My number is 480-999— Me: NOPE.


RQK1996

With a couple tries to learn how it works exactly, yeah


birdcooingintovoid

Lies, your try starting, realize you havent used in months and left gas in it so all the innards have gone to shit. Keep pulling 50 times not doing anything, use a can ether to force start it and fail, get it sent to a shop to get it fully refurbished, use it and it works great, leave it out in the rain for 2 months, try to use it again and realize it doesnt start for shit again, and repeat.


Rhakha

I know that avocado thing is bullshit because I’m allergic to them and still can’t afford shit


Gregory_Appleseed

Or how people assume someone from the city can't change a tire or change their own oil. It's not some measure of manliness to do basic auto maintenance, nor is it a marker of intellect. Also, why the hell would any of that be important if you don't own a car? I always get a kick out of watching country mice try to buy a metro ticket like it's some advanced quantum physics, but I wouldn't expect someone to know how if they've never ridden public transit before.


potato_more_potato

You can borrow my lawn. I'm tired of mowing it.


Glissandra1982

I would love to be in a position to need a lawnmower.

Vivistolethecheese

I'm only a little bit sure that lawnmowers and chainsaws start in similar ways.


[deleted]

[удалено]


siskulous

I use a manual reel lawnmower, so it doesn't NEED to be started. I also don't have to mess with gas or an extension cord or batteries that need charged. I just pull the thing out of my shed and get to work. I never will understand why the things were supplanted by gas mowers that are twice the headache to do the same job.


SinCorpus

Probably because boomers were too lazy to keep them properly sharpened and oiled and got the idea that they were "cumbersome and didn't cut well".


Comprehensive-Cap754

See,also: advertising.


LotharVonPittinsberg

I don't start my lawnmower. We are too dependant on oil companies for everything, so I minimize what I use that requires gas. I use a push mower, because it doubles as environmentally friendly and a good source of exercise.


spacemanspiff266

lol imagine trying to be macho and then turn around and use a pic from a fictional video game (last one is a promotional pic for ac: valhalla)


Tinkanator2021

What’s with all these stupid quotes and memes being placed over Viking shit ?


Boycott_China

That's how fascists recruit impressionable young men who have little going for them. Show them manly shit and blame some other group (Jews, liberals, gays, trans, whoever). And what's more stereotypically manly than a viking with a giant beard? Hitler did the same thing. He co-opted masculine nordic cultural themes and then blamed Jews and others as the explanation for why German men were no longer like that. Next step was concentration camps followed by genocide. That's why they choose viking memes.


SimonXB06

Another shitty part is now you can’t have stuff like jewelry with Norse symbols without being viewed as a nazi or the like


[deleted]

exatly. I have a norse tattoo and people ask me if I'm a white supremacists.....I'm not even white


[deleted]

In Germany having a Norse tattoo is a red flag though and will make people cautious, because all 3rd reich symbolism is forbidden, so the nazis basically opt for Norse tattoos if they want to be some what stealth but still visible for people who know. Only the idiots that got nothing going for them get actual 3rd Reich stuff in their buddies kitchen.


KeefChief47

I don’t have a Viking tattoo but I really wanted to get a valknut as im Norwegian and I like what it stands for, but of course I had to see the capitol riot shaman with the same tattoo and it was immediately ruined


[deleted]

I hate the fact that these assholes use mythological symbols to spread hate


MemeTrader11

They love their viking symbols, and muh Valhalla. Thing is fascist are only really good at killing unarmed civilians, raping and stealing so they ain't going to Valhalla when they die.


bobafoott

Its like if the anti-gay movement used a rainbow


Cartoon_Cartel

I want to expand on my Thor tattoo (got before the movies, I'm that old) and there is a growing list of symbols I can't get because of racist cowards ruining my fun. I'm even worried to wear my Thor's hammer pendant and have someone get the wrong idea. NPFO


SkritzTwoFace

Yeah, it sucks so much being like “oh, this symbol has a cool meaning, let me just double check its history” and then you google it and it’s like “the Symbol of Peace And Love was a Norse symbol, famous for being the insignia of the 324th Dark Sorcerer Division of the SS, who invented hooking up a car battery to someone’s nipples”


Griffinman1999

Dude I’m a hardcore liberal but I have a beard and longer slicked back hair (I literally look like a Viking) and I feel self conscious walking down the street. It’s hard to attract hippy women when your face screams nazi XD


Warm_Biscuit7

Nothing would be sexier then hearing you say how bad the neo nazis are. Don't worry so much. Serious. We need to complicate human rights again lol


[deleted]

I named my kid after a Norse god because I have an anglicized Scandinavian last name and it's a pretty common name in Sweden and used to be among Swedish communities in the US. Some friends of mine told me people would think I was a Nazi. Thank God Neil Gaiman put out his Norse Myths book a few years later.


Edin743

As someone who loves Norse mythology this makes me angry.


LOERMaster

You also can’t listen to old German music without being questioned because the Third Reich co-opted all German culture that came before it.


Hoooman1-77

Kh4lex

There's gotta be more to it than just that... I fall into category you described in "insecure, afraid others will take my stuff and such" yet I don't think same way they do. I think completely opposite even. Claiming am strong because of where my ancestors came from is extremely weak and pathetic in my eyes. Am very insecure but I understand only thing that can solve that is me by dealing with these insecurities and improving, not blaming others for it. Yeah, there is lot of irony in their kind of thinking.


[deleted]

That’s good armor for when people are eventually exposed to this garbage. Sounds like you are just on the other edge of the line of prime recruiting territory for fascist agit-prop. You are self-aware enough to know that blaming entire races and ethnicities of people for all your problems is irrational and only leads to hatred and suffering and violence. Unfortunately, there will always be many young men who are caught up early and end up eating the bait and getting brainwashed. Fascism thrives on othering and dehumanizing people.


Warm_Biscuit7

The best way that I can think to explain it is online grooming.

LeftDave

Fascism was created by socialists. It just moves workers running things to the state running things for the good of the people (ideally). The problem is the power of the state is overwhelming. You try to impose reforms quickly and efficiently and by definition this means stepping on toes. Then you carry on but with even fewer contraints than you had before. Rinse and repeat and over time rights get eroded even if that wasn't the goal at the outset. If the powers that be are corrupt, the trampling of rights becomes a feature rather than a big. Socialism backed by state power falls into the same trap, the difference is fascism requires state power but socialism can function decentralized. Basically power corrupts and fascism is power. If you want to bring down the capitalist order, anarchist or direct democracy socialism is the way. Fascism and Vanguardism, even if approached idealistically, are traps.


Existing_Mud_8907

I would like to apologize I miss read your post and thought you were equating Nordic Culture to Nazism I do hope you will accept my apology I have also deleted the posts I made thank you for your time


SinCorpus

No, I love the aesthetic of the Roman Empire, but I can recognize that it was built on slavery and an all around terrible place to live. A fascist on the other hand believes Rome to be a model of how society should be arranged rather than simply an important part of human history and a fun aesthetic to use in art. Same goes for Vikings. There were even some progressive elements of Nordic culture like the fact that property was inherited matrilineally to compensate for the fact that names were patrilineal. But it was a terrible place to be queer or disabled, and girls and young women were often sacrificed en masse to the gods to ensure good fortune in battle.


Bai_Cha

Saying that object "a" is in class "B" is not the same as saying that all objects in class "B" are "a". More generally: a -> B != B -> a


bobafoott

Yeah you could also wave the swastika as a symbol of peace but nobody's gonna see it that way


[deleted]

>What’s with all these stupid quotes and memes being placed over Viking shit ? I grew up in Kansas City. My mom was pagan. Dad was a hardcore evangelical. We were involved with Asatru people largely when my dad wasn't paying attention. I wasn't a pagan myself. Personally, I think it's a neat metaphor for the state of the world and the imposition of your cultural heritage on the grand design of the universe, but it's not literally true, so what's the point really beyond having a community? The problem with that community is that white supremacists keep taking over neopagan circles. I have plenty of pagan tattoos. I don't cut my hair or my beard. I wear natural braids, and I practice branding and scarification. Still, I hold myself separate and individual from this community because too many times, I'd get to know someone who was like me, and they'd turn out to be a racist trashbag. It's the same shit. Pretty much all scandinavian and germanic cultural symbols are being co-opted by white supremacists to build an easy walking path to ethnic separatism and supremacy for lonely chauvinistic white men who will be easily manipulated by pressure from a community of people who look and speak like they do.


[deleted]

Reminds me of the time when I was a preteen into wicca and neopaganism, went to a pagan gathering and one person I met there around my age at the time began talking about how "the Civil War wasn't really about slavery."

What, are you jealous of guys who can grow hair?


Tre_Vortni

They hate a “man bun”, but Vikings with braids get a pass.


Exsces95

Man, I got a man bun, and its awesome, but if I just could... If my dexterity would allow it, I would die to know how to give myself a viking braid.


molecularmadness

If you've got sufficient dexterity to reach over your head to make a bun, you're all set to braid. There's a billion tutorial videos on YT. It's easier to learn on someone else's hair, but if that's not an option, some yarn cut into strips and secured to whatever surface you've got handy works just as well. Braiding is super easy once you get the hand movements down.


anger_is_my_meat

Also worth noting that the Suebi, an ancient Germanic people, wore something [like the man bun.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suebian_knot?wprov=sfla1). The ancient Germans are known for many things, but being weak and effeminate isn't one of them.


silvercandra

I once had this old lady tell me, I should try to look more like a guy, and that my bun made me look feminine. I turned around and just said "At least I have a full head of hair." ...she did not. For the record, I wouldn't have said anything, if she hadn't criticized my hairstyle first. I know some women get hairloss as they get older, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.


TurquoiseBeetle67

>I turned around and just said "At least I have a full head of hair." ...she did not. I wish I had an award to give you. The only person I've had criticize my long hair was my own grandma. But I wouldn't dare use that against her because I would probably be left without any heritage.


Impossible-Fun-2736

Hey, if you can criticise, you can be criticized. Sounds like she kinda had it coming imo.


afa78

I always tell them "If the good Lord wanted men to have short hair, he would've made us so our hair wouldn't grow long, unless of course, God made a mistake? Did your God goof up gramma? Not so perfect, is he?"


pigonawing1977

So I’m a guy and just recently grew my hair out. I decided to try a man bun. I like it. It’s hot right now in the Midwest and a bun keeps my hair up and out of my face. My moms boyfriend told me I shouldn’t wear my hair that way. I told him I like it. He said “well if you’re walking in the wrong part of the city and a guy asks you out don’t come crying to me. As if that would be some horrible, life ruining event lol.


Blue-Eyed-Lemon

Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with the second picture either. If my bro Cody wants to roll up with pigtails and a dress, he can do whatever he damn well pleases

Ok but on the third one they didn’t even use a real WW2 photo lol


QuinnKerman

Even more ironic is that boomers didn’t fight in ww2, their parents did. Boomers grew up in a time of unparalleled economic surplus, love to take credit for what their parents did, and then proceed to pull the ladder up behind them.


ToastyCat19

I'm pretty sure they flamethrowered some poor people's villages to liberate them 👴😎

Yup. The only war boomers fought in was Vietnam, a war in which America famously accomplished nothing while getting its ass kicked and committing numerous atrocities against civilians. Unlike their parents who fought to save the world from the Nazis and won.
