I didn't laugh at this because I find it so silly to ask people to buy a more modern phone in order to eat at such a place. I will just find some place with a menu that requires no tools to read except of course if you need glasses to read it.
In order to understand the true essence of these posts, let's explore the history of the baby boomer generation. While facing great uncertainty and hardship during the period of 1946-1964, many couples in the United States had put a hold on starting a family.
In the aftermath of conquering these challenges, people were ready to have kids as they believed that the future would be filled with happiness and success. Families started growing faster than ever before – giving birth to the baby boom generation! The US alone welcomed 76 million bundles of joy during this time.

I was always adamant that I wouldn't leave the house wearing sweats. Then I turned 45.
During this era, labor unions promised higher salaries, businesses were booming, and new consumer goods were hitting the market shelves. In short, people were living the dream. With prosperity came change as families started heading to the suburbs for a better life.
As corporations kept growing, the markets were filled with more affordable products. Cars, home appliances, TVs – you name it, they had it. Parents wanted to give their families all the material things they couldn’t have.

Many adults had started buying things like washing machines and refrigerators. They had unknowingly become a part of the consumer economy. In fact, businesses started targeting the millions of relatively affluent boomer children with their marketing efforts.
For instance, kids were buying mouse-ear hats after watching the Disney show and barbie dolls and Elvis Presley records and so much more. A Life magazine article from 1958 proclaimed that children were a “built-in recession cure.”

Once the boomers approached adolescence, some of them started having different thoughts about consumerism. Something began to shift as these restless teenagers questioned the status quo and craved something more. And thus, the youth counterculture movement was born.

Some Boomer Humour For Everyone

Mostly...but deer populations need to be controlled enough that they don't all get hit by cars or over-breed and starve. With so few wolves around, there's not much else to keep deer in check.
Load More Replies...
Kate C 1 year ago
Where I live the deer population is higher than it was in the 1700's. No natural predators mild winters, and plenty of food is resulting in an exploding population - and a lot of car accidents as a consequence. I don't think I could shoot a deer - even though I was once frighteningly challenged by a buck a couple of years ago, but something does need to be done to control the population. Also, a car that hits a deer is likely to be totaled but even more heartbreaking is the sight of an injured deer on the side of the road waiting to be put out of it's misery, I have seen this many times and it never gets easier.
M O'Connell 1 year ago
In my part of the world (Wisconsin) deer hunting is sort of a necessity to keep populations balanced. Without any natural predators the deer population would otherwise swing back and forth between massive booms in population causing overgrazing and massive dieoffs from starvation and/or disease. We're essentially taking the place of wolves in the ecosystem.

Gotta say here folks- deer, elk and other herd animals that hunters cull die a much more humane death than starvation from lack of food due to people encroaching on their natural territories. Not trophy hunting but using it for food is very good for the animals honestly.

My BIL hunts and fishes pretty much anything and everything year round to help supplement their food source. They are on a tight income, live in a very rural area and it's several miles to the nearest city, so they have to plan their shopping trips very carefully. Other than that they have a bartering system with their neighbors and farms that are the closest to them. Both of my nieces were raised and taught how to hunt, field dress and fish at a very early age. Cheyenne is amazing with a Bow and Arrow and if you hand Gina a fishing pole, that girl can catch anything. They have 2 huge freezers and cook and bake everything from scratch to save money. My Sister Suzie takes after our Mom the most when it comes to the kitchen and taught the girls the same way we were raised. Mom also taught us about sales, coupons and how to make a penny scream which has saved ALL of our a*s.I absolutely LOVE to go visit them and probably gain 5 lbs every time I go down there to see them. 😁😍

Okay...so making fun of trans people because you did not know they existed when you were a kid is not a boomer thing......its more of a bigot thing
Cathy Mcgee 1 year ago
But unfortunately this does also allow predators into previously safe spaces. This is what people are afraid of, not genuine trans people but those who aren't. And if you can't tell the difference you just want to keep them all out.
Rayne OfSalt 1 year ago
Absolutely NO person, anywhere, ever, has come out as trans so they could be a predator. Do you have any goddamned idea how hard life becomes once you're out? If a man wants to prey on women, he's going to. Your unjustifiable "fear" is garbage and is actively hurting trans people.

Supposedly, our Freedoms, apparently including being able to BBQ when you want, was co-signed by those who fought and died in wars. Do you 'buy' that? Or, was it for oil and low gas prices? Just asking, because I really am not sure anymore.

This is a very specific cartoon referencing Memorial Day. A day meant to honor those who fell in war, but is mostly just celebrated with barbecue parties over a long weekend. The artist was asking people to remember the reason for the holiday

Boomers' Idea Of Humour
Corvus 1 year ago
Does AM radio still exist? Would you be able to tune to anything, even if you have the proper receiver?
The Original Bruno 1 year ago (edited)
AM radio still exists. Still best for talk radio. There was a bit of a political row when Ford announced they were going to save $0.30 on the price of their $60,000 trucks by getting rid of AM. Many perceived it as political, because in the U.S., AM is known for carrying political talk, and is now more popular than broadcast TV (!), largely because people listening to it in their cars. I understand it's far less popular in Europe where cities are much closer.

Boomer Humour vs. Zoomer Humour
Mark 1 year ago
I think the reason why the 2020 memes are funny is that they are so pointless and have no order of logic to them. It just causes your brain to blank, and it defaults into a laugh

Isn't that just humour a certain amount of young people find funny? Like how millenials walked around being "random!" and genX made everything ironic and anti. All of the early internet stuff from my childhood were pointless stuff as well, like salad fingers, hamsterdance or bananaphone. Same thing.
