    “Ok Boomer.”

    But seriously though. After the proliferation of the printing press, I’m willing to bet, someone made the exact same joke about printed books. And I know that the Boomers’ parents made the same joke about television, and their grandparents made the same joke about radio. And this isn’t even really a Boomer joke, it’s a Gen-X joke. I know because my boomer parents actually made this joke about Gameboys and walk-mans before the Internet (or at least convenient portable Internet) was even really a ubiquitous thing. It’s just that Boomers are living longer and are so damn vocal and numerous that they are STILL making this joke, updated for the modern generation.

    What technology will gen-Y and gen-alpha lament about in stale memes?

    LOL @boomer humour.

    Considering that this is the community designated for shitposts, I would say this content is entirely appropriate here.

    At the time of this comment, there are 14 triggered smartphone addicts and counting. Mock, deride and downvote all you want, I see it as self-loathing being embraced.

      You are correct and so sad that some people live lives of rage. It’s all a joke anyway so why do they waste the little time that we all have being upset over nonsense
