Lemmy really gives reddit for boomers with these made up rage bait posts like this.
Gets straight to the top and everyone is saying they wish they could be this guy because they don't care about modern issues and want to go "back to the good ol days". Rage bait didn't even get rage, just people creaming over the idea of not thinking about global issues and trans rights.
I think people are just sick of all the self righteous fart smellers and the idea of someone who hasn't gotten sucked into paying attention to them is endearing.
A couple months ago I was hanging out with my teenage cousin and his friends. I said something funny, and a friend said "what is that a reference to?" The problem I have is that I'm expected to be "making references" and all jokes are "memes". There's barely any original comedy to the point where original jokes are misunderstood as "rare memes". I just say funny things. I'm not referencing anyone. I do like memes, but not everything is a meme.
Lol "kids these days" you're saying the same shit people have said to shit on younger generations since Aristotle. And you're calling them unoriginal.
Uhhh no? I'm 24. And the whole meme craze is driving out original comedy in favor of in-jokes. Also, I doubt Aristotle complained about tiktok memes
They could just get off the internet if they wanted
Nailed it.
I'm confused, what exactly did they nail?
He must have a high body count!
Why is it helpful to think about gender or global news exactly? Isn't it better for mental well being to focus on your loved ones and what you can accomplish in a day. I don't appreciate attention whores sucking up my time usually.
Because gender or global news may be important to your loved ones or just other humans you might like to show basic respect and decency to. You don’t need to become well read on every subject anyone might be passionate about, but it really doesn’t take a lot of effort to learn some pronouns and generally what’s going on in the world so you can be kinder to others.
Thank you, well said.
Isolationist me me me, why would I care about something that I'm not aware affects me or people I love even though it absolutely does attitude is the boomer mentality.
And energy.
