“I’m With Boomers On This One”: 45 People Name Things That They Think Older Generations Got Right

Planned obsolescence is just pure corporate greed.

For disabled people like me- being able to control some appliances from my phone allows me to be more independent and do things on my own. So they do have some uses!

I wish this was the case today!!!

Literally walked out of a restaurant last week when we were informed we had to scan the menu, which required providing personal information, and then, in addition, you had to place your order from their app. Bye.

I just don't use Apps. My explanation is: I don't use Apps. And thus I apparently have three heads with the looks I get.

Wired earbuds also act as an antenna for phones that have built in FM radio. We don't need to stream everything.

If anything, I'm judging modern people who doesn't learn from history. I mean, there are still people who parade the nazi symbol around or say that black people benefited from slavery.

I can't stress enough how sad it is to have grown up in the usa, to have been spoon fed "the american dream" my entire childhood completely believing it was going to be a reality one day...just to have it crumble and disappear the older i got. One full time job is just not enough anymore....i know far too well from experience.

And can we please get rid of all the silent TV’s playing c**p that no one actually wants to watch yet our stupid brains keep being drawn to and hypnotise by. I’m here to socialise and eat - stop flooding my senses with c**p!

let me correct that, kids today should be able to play outside more, safely

I always make sure to not be on my phone if I’m outside with friends or family. I only wish some of my friends would do the same instead of scrolling through their phone and not paying attention to what I’m saying

I hated that all the way back to the 80s and haven't changed my mind yet. Paying huge amounts for torn clothing is insane.

Yes, but it is a tree instead of a porch

I have to disagree with this one. As much as I love physical books, Ebooks are better. I have 5000 books on my kindle. I have a tiny, 1 bedroom flat, if my 5000 ebooks were in physical form they’d overflow my flat

I'm sure this is part of the reason I still have a close relationship with my adult children.

Why is it?

There is plenty of great music being made, you just have to listen. Plenty of older music sucked too.

Im mad at the neighbors for fireworks at all

You shouldn't need to get financing for a concert either. Prices are insane.

If only a certain generation didn't vote for political parties that do their damnedest to undermine and destroy unions...

I never have to carry bills and change. I can tap with my cards or phone. It's definitely better this way. Also I have every transaction listed so I don't ever wonder where my money went. That actually helps cut down on spending.

Unless they are rich, people will prioritize safety and efficiency, before aesthetic.

You just noticed your economy going down the drain. We pay like 3€ for a cheesburger.

I will fill photo albums until the day i die!!!

I'm still disgusted that when I did my driving lessons I was told not to slow down for an animal on the road. If you do that during your driving test it can fail you. You bet your a*s I slow down for animals, and thankfully during my test, there was not any on the road, but I'd take the fail several times over if it meant I didn't run over a cat or dog.

The only car screen i like is a backup camera

When you have to upload your résumé but also fill the info of your résumé in a dedicated page. WTF

It's called respect. Always feel terrible for the host/s

literally we criminalised them GOING OUTSIDE and took away all third places that don't rely on a car or money! what are they supposed to DO???

9 pm is my bedtime! *to look at BP until midnight*

For most electric things I agree, but not the windows. I love my electric windows and being able to open them all from the drivers seat without having to get out or bend over.

Some people can't be cashless. For them, all they have is cash in hand, and if they hold it out, it should be accepted.

Nope. I'll take "i don't have the energy to fix this person/ relationship" for 500 Alex.

This might be about picking up to-go drinks and food, instead of having a well filled larder/food storage from which you can cook a nice meal at home - which requires planning ahead, buying what you need once a week and spending time to make and eat. Which has only positive side effects: You focus on what you put in your body and save a lot of money.

See, I really like a thank you email/message. It covers the sentiment just as well without the clutter and landfill.

Haha jokes on you, someday you will be older people

Leftovers are great. If it's not enough for a full meal, you can add them to another and make less food waste.

How is this a boomer thing? Isn't it common sense? I don't have a kid and hopefully never will but still...

no guys, wood fire only

I used to love going to the airport without getting a full body cavity search. Also going all the way to the gate to greet whoever I was picking up.

This is callous. So if you're weak and can't carry things or getting older in age and having difficulty lifting heavy objects, then I guess you should stop traveling and just sit at home and wait to die???

Please relate how to keep a hat on a 9 month old without using staples

also KEEP THAT ANIMAL ON A LEASH. I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THAT DOG PUT IT ON A F#CKING LEASH.

I’ve seen some young people in the supermarket wearing their pyjamas. I mean teenagers

Oh my god. I cannot believe that we can put humans on the moon and map the human genome but can’t make a f*****g straw that will not either end up in a turtle’s nose or disintegrate within second of being in my drink.
