There is an ongoing (and it seems like a never-ending) discussion between the millennial generation kids and baby boomers. While the older folks are trying to prove that us young people are ruining the economy and basically the entire world, we millennials keep fighting back by blaming baby boomers for any minor inconvenience we stumble upon during the difficult period of growing up. Basically, both generations blame each other for everything that is wrong in this world, and we're not sure if there's any way to stop them. And while this fight about generation differences keeps evolving, a new, fresher and younger generation is slowly growing up only to find a new way to ruin the world that we live in. The so-called 'generation z' or 'Genz' are people that were born from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. And even though the age difference between Genz and the millennial age might be small, there are some things that millennials grew up with that Gen z kids have no clue about. Bored Panda compiled a list of all the random things that the younger kids from different generation don't understand, and before you check it out, be careful, it might make you feel extremely old.

    Here in Finland we have Radio Nostalgia. Which is a channel that mostly plays songs from 1990's and 1980's. That is one of my favourite radio channels and I feel extremely old when I listen it. For me a radio channel called 'Radio Nostalgia' should play 1960's songs or older...

    Guess then it's the best radio channel you have there, as they actually play something that still can be considered music. In my country (Italy) every historic station transformed itself into the ultimate sender of pure c**p and during all the day, you can tune in at any time, there are always the same ten or twelve songs on rotation (worlwide pop products of the worst subspecies). Thinking that we had two radio stations specialized in club music (mainly euro dance first, then proper house, techno, trance...you name it) I can only cry very sad tears nowadays... I don't consider myself "old" if I hear some cool trance of the late 90s or early 2000s....

    My first computer as a Packard Bell 386 mini tower with a built-in tape drive. It came with DOS 6.0, Windows 3.11, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Money and a few other things. I spend my first weekend with it formatting 100 of these disks and creating the Setup programs for all the installed software because it didn't come with any disks. After I was done I accidentally formatted the C:\ drive and had no idea what to do after that. Fortunately I had completed making all the Setup software so I had everything I needed to reinstall everything.

    Oh man I used to use 3.5" discs in college. I once forgot and put it in my pocket with my Seimens C35, it rang and wiped a whole semester of work. I then spent €100 on an 8mb flash drive and my classmates were like ohhh that's like 6 floppy discs!

    I'm 16 and we had this in our old car. My grandparents' car(which is not that old, it's a red Toyota Yaris) has them too. It's a lot safer than window buttons, which get blocked if you fall into a river with the car or something like that. "Levers" are better!

    Two for stereo sound (red and white) and one (yellow) for picture. Though there is a slightly better (but still old) version with 5 jacks- 2 for audio+ 3 for picture.

I was actually just trying to be funny and felt kind of bad when I had to tell him I was just kidding him and yeah, Pearl Harbor really happened. I like joking but I don't like making people feel stupid. I honestly thought he would just laugh at my "joke". Never occurred to me that he'd actually believe me. :(

    I loved the Mummy movie as a kid. And there was this other one where the devil was a hot woman and was trying to get Fraser's soul, it was a funny movie.

    Actually, most people don't know who he is. I'll always remember him as George of the Jungle which I'm not ashamed to admit that it's a movie I really like.

    The only bad movie he did was Monkeybones. He was great in School Ties, Gods and Monsters, With Honers, The Passion of Darkly Noon, Airheads, Crash, Exstrodinary Measures and Mrs. Winderborne also the Scout, just to name a few.

    Okay, I was born in 1989 and I found out about these only recently, thanks to the internet. When we were kids, we always used the tiny sharpeners we carried in our pencils cases. So effective and space saving, and it never crossed my thoughts why these would need to be so huge. I guess it's for safety reasons, but still, never heard of a sharpener caused accident (only pencil accidents).

    I'm only a few years older than you and we had these in every classroom growing up in the US. They were huge because the whole class used them and it would hold more shavings, they could also work for many different size pencils.

    Explain it like this: Imagine that every time an app crashed, you would have to turn off your phone, blow into it, then restart. Also imagine that when you downloaded an app, it was actually finished, and didn't require a patch twice a week to fix all of the bugs and add unnecessary updates.

    You might add that it will not show any advertisments, don't require you to constantly pay money if you want to advance, and it would actually require patience to get the skills to play it, instead of being walked through the whole frigging game.
