Let's do it. Forget the fediverse being for everyone, let's plant the GenX/Millennial alliance flag on this bitch and yell at everyone foolish enough to be either older or younger.

Agreed. I don't think there are many Zoomers on here anyway. They don't care about things like old.reddit.com and 3rd party apps, cause they're too young to remember the days before new reddit came along and fucked everything up. So why would they have any reason to be here?

Huh? Zoomers are as old as 26.

You're talking about gen alpha, the oldest of which are about 10 years old.

The oldest millennials are almost middle-aged adults.

Gen X is planning for retirement.

If Zoomers can be adults, that would make me old, and that's impossible.

I would still guess 26 year old wouldn't care about any of that.

The vast majority of people of any age don't care about any of that, don't make this into something related to age.

Hi it's me, a 24 year old. The new Reddit design sucks.

The first instance of Rageguy came in 2008 on the 4chan /b/ imageboard. The image consisted of a 4-pane comic made in MS Paint portraying the "toilet splashback" experience[

I was a supply teacher when planking happened. I'm a hearing impaired person but not completely deaf, I can hear most noises. I was teaching a class around 13/14, writing their work on the board, turned round and they were planking all over the classroom. desks, windowsills, cupboards, one of them was on top of the metal lockers like 6 foot high.

It's still the best thing that ever happened while I was teaching. I couldn't get it together for ages. No professionalism left at all. No idea how they managed to do it so quietly.
