All young people find all old people quaint, this is nothing like a boomer humor, every generation does this. Boomer humor is more about hating your wife and blaming everything on every other generation.
It’s never been illegal to get a divorce in the US. You may be thinking specifically of At-Fault Divorce which was the norm in the US until the 60s… when most boomers were in their 20s or younger.
The US is not the only country in the planet nor is its creation the epoch of the beginning of time. You do know that legal frameworks and other countries also existed before the US?

Gotta say, this warning helped me accept it. The kids will be fine and one day I’ll be able to tell them a 19 hundreds story where I wore a Tamagotchi on my belt, as was the style at the time… (Continues)
This is why I say that “The kids will be alright.” For fucks sake every generation has said that the younger ones will never make it. The kids today are the smartest ever not the dumbest. They just don’t value the same things that we did and honestly, great. Leave my crap alone, figure out your own crap.
In January 2026, neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. His message was clear: “Our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age.”
What the data actually says is that measured skills like reading comprehension, math performance, sustained attention, and writing quality may be slipping or not improving. It also suggests that a heavy, poorly controlled digital environment can make it harder to learn and retain what the school is trying to teach.
That has not been my observation. I’ve seen plenty of millennials join in, I’ve never seen one “have an allergic reaction”. I think you’re making that up.
The boomerfication of millennials is a sight to behold.

This is a literal “kid these days” post.
It’s boomer humour to hell.
Maybe you need your peepers to help you see.
Leaning into your age for a joke is not a “kids these days“ post.
It’s millennials complaining kids don’t know cursive.
The same shit actually boomers complained about.
This is literally the opposite of that. It’s making fun of the trope.
They did not complain about it.
It’s really not tho.
Don’t worry, you are heading into all of that as you age. It has ever been so.
Yeah… No. If I hated my wife I would get a divorce.
Perhaps, perhaps not. Separating a marriage after 25+ years is no easy thing. The sheer inertia can be impossible to overcome.
Hate doesn’t happen overnight, you only stay for 25 years with somebody you don’t like because you aren’t being honest with yourself or them.
Or it was illegal to get a divorce.
It’s never been illegal to get a divorce in the US. You may be thinking specifically of At-Fault Divorce which was the norm in the US until the 60s… when most boomers were in their 20s or younger.
Yes, that is what I was thinking! Indeed after reading that, “illegal” is definitely not the right word for “procedurally impossible without extremes”

So, you’ve seen Boomers put down Gen-X, and Gen-X get in millennials, and now you’re seeing millennials talking about the kids…
But you, you’ll be immune!

‘Family Guy’ did it first!

It’s not like there’s no cause for concern, but it seems like it’s mostly just that we need to limit screen time a little.
Eh, it’s more like we’re leaning into being old-heads now for the lols. Millennials don’t do very many things without any ironic undertones.
Idk man.
I’ve never seen millennials have an allergic reaction to a number before.
What?

Yes, that’s 42, and?
Gen Alpha did not invent funny numbers. Every single generation has had some version of random meaningless silliness.
Our funny numbers have quite deep meaning, thank you very much.
And boomer millennials have an allergic reaction to 6………………7.
Because it’s a reminder they’re not cool anymore. And what’s IT isn’t up to them to decide anymore.

Here’s another one I spotted recently. People comparing html to “years of experience in CIA” just felt funny.
HTML is not hard. Someone who says “HTML codes” won’t know anything past the basics.
Fucking kids these days, no work ethic like we had/have. They want everything now instead of working for it.
They want their TikTok
