      Why do all of these things make me feel old… I’m gen Z but heavily relate to gen x and millennial when people ask me “wtf does that mean?” and I just say “it was before your time.” Like wtf it was “before my time” too… idk I guess that’s the only benefit of being adopted by boomers.

      Back in the distant 1990’s there wasn’t enough solar energy to run our central heating, so we had to burn our CD collections to stay warm.

    It’s why I like Lemmy, it’s a safe space for Millennials and Gen X. Neither the boomers or yooths can figure out how to make an account without downloading it from the app store.

          Most apps have a front-end for the register form, so they could have done it through an app easily.

      Gen Z here, after creating my mastodon account on an infosec instance and using that for a while, I found out about Lemmy and ditched reddit for good. So after registering on a smaller furry instance through my browser and trying a couple of different apps, I ended up here… not all of us are dumb ipad kids. Don’t get me wrong either, most of my generation are indeed a bunch of skibidi-brains… but there’s some hope anyways. I think. If we survive the civil unrest, climate change, the coming world war, and the general ignorance of the vast majority of our generation… ok maybe we are fucked. I guess we can thank the boomers together for that.

        Gen Z are quite dumb. Some of them suggested me to modify my game engine to be able to be ran from a browser, I politely decline every time (I still need to move the rendering from the CPU to the GPU, since I figured out how to do retro pixel-perfect graphics, all with color lookup).

    As a man in my 30s who enjoys VR, good god the kids torment me.

    I came up with a decent reply. “Why are you on Oculus, old man?”

    “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize a bunch of fucking toddlers made the Quest. I’m proud of you guys! I was under the impression that VR was mostly created by my generation, but it’s cool to see your elementary school science project took off like this. Congrats on your A+! You’re building the future.”

    Usually shuts them up or makes them fumble and a few kids get on my side with it haha.

    I’ve been the old sage sitting in the building in Pavlov Containers giving the youngins life advice. Always a wonderful experience when they aren’t bullying me or when I bump into a fellow old.
