Millennials And Gen-Z Are Sharing Their Most “Boomer” Opinions, But They Just Make Sense (35 Answers)

That's what's so great about animals. Your dog doesn't care if he's famous for doing something stupid in a viral video, but your child will hate you forever!

Aren't most boomer children millinials...so they're the grown up sharing these types of videos. We didn't have videos to post of our kids (unless you count AFV)

Be nice to your kids: they'll decide which "Care Home" you'll live in when you're older (since none of them will want you.) :)

I can't believe people do this. It's like naked baby photos. Unnecessary.

I don't have kids but I find all this cruel and a bit sick. It's an extention of people who have to run to social media and do the "AITA: thing or have to post every thought in their head or post every thing they eat and look at for some kind of validation. If you have a child and are a parent, the tantrums, stupid things, annoying things, upsetting things...are all part of raising a child. It's supposed to go from them, to you. Their hearts, their sorrows, their being a little kid, them not having to learn proper behavior and emotions and strength. This is from them to you. Not to run to social media and pass the responsibility on, or the emotion on. Not to mock them. If your mindset is that this is funny or look at the little Assh**s BS I have to put up with, you're an evil parent. It's your job to deal with this. A kid is not a thing, or a pet, or something detached from you. This is abuse.

Nobody wants to see that!

At that point, why bother with pants? Just take 'em all the way off.

particularly when one knows from where that fashion comes from..

This is an old one, but again every generation complains about the next one.

Nobody can possibly be as stupid as that person looks.

Very true. Some people genuinely don't believe something happened if you don't post it and brag about it. I had that situation with people convincing me that I didn't accomplish something just because they didn't see photos on social networks and therefore concluded beyond any doubt that the event never occured. The paper proof was not sufficient.

I honestly failed to see how much people think every day things another human being is doing is a form of entertainment. Unless you’re looking for specific information like on a restaurant meal or how to get a stain out of something or something like that, I fail to see how filming “go shopping with me” or worse showing someone else’s videos and narrating them is entertaining. To me it just seems like these people are desperate for attention.

This should be numbers 1 though 20.

Omg look at the drowning animal let me whip my camera out to prove to everyone I’m decent but my real motive is the likes. Maybe I’ll even get viral. This is literally the worst. Save the damn animal and put your damn phone down!

I do like to take photos and upload some to Facebook, but only for my family and friends to see.

I will never want any smart kitchen thingys. Basically anything connected to the internet can be taken over by a skilled hacker

Years ago, I bought a new washer and dryer. I had to argue to convince the salesman that I wanted dials and knobs, not a motherboard. I can fix mechanical appliances; I can't fix broken motherboards. And I was right. A few years later, the dryer's on/off switch broke. I replaced it with a light switch, and it's still working nearly 10 years later.

I don't need a smart fridge who tells me how often I opened the door to stare at the content without taking anything...or worse tell me how often I reached for the chocolate bars

As long as it's energy efficient this thing only has to keep my food cool - everything else is just a gimmick

Reading the comments below it's apparent that a lot of people don't yet know how the internet of things can be used for crime.

I don't think that it's related to one generation. I know very old people, old, middle aged, young, teenagers that only check once or twice a day. And other people from different ages who are always wanting to answer or write immediately. For example, my father and my mother do opposite, and my two sisters, too.

What did it for me was when a "correct etiquette" for today informed me I was supposed to text someone to get "permission" to call them.

I have a dear friend who always apologizes for not answering my text quickly. I have given up trying to explain to her that I am fully aware that she has a life, and if she doesn't text back for hours it's because she's busy living it. She'll get back when she can. I dont panic that something bad has happened. If there is, I'll hear about it when her husband/son have a chance to let me know during said emergency. Those who always expect an immediate reply, get over yourselves. Your not the top priority in everyone's life.

Just gotta set those expectations. Oh sorry my phone was on charge in the other room. Oh sorry i left my phone on silent. Oh sorry, i got distracted by something else and forgot to reply.

I agree , my phone is for My convenience not annoying telemarked and scammers

It's such an immature way of thinking to conflate disagree with hate. You see it with preschoolers. You can hate the opinion and still like the person (you can also agree with the opinion and hate the person, but that's a different thing).

Related to this is stop reading or hearing everything through an "angry filter". Not everything is said or written as a direct attack on you, even if it is possible for it to be taken that way, look for solutions rather than problems!
