Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Death to all boomers. Except Keanu Reeves. He's alright.

Just checked, wow he’s technically a Boomer! Born in 1964, so just made it.

That's....not even close to a Boomer. WW2 ended 20 years earlier lol.

I don’t understand, are you confused at the age range for Boomers? It literally says it in the image…

Yes. Didn't notice those dates. Still makes no sense if you take the name literally though...

You're wrong chronologically, but you're right based on how those labels are used to judge people's social values.

So it takes 20 years for a sexed up WW2 vet to hop in the sack after returning from the war?

The identifier should be started at the age you entered society, and not the age you came out of your mother’s womb.

You can infer the age you entered society from the age you left the womb.

That doesn't work. Technically I'm a Boomer, but I act and think completely like a Gen-Xer.

In fact growing up I used to give Boomers crap myself, until I got more wise. They acted completely different from me, based on the times they grew up in.
