Useless red circle, I know, but in my defense I didn’t put it there, it was already like this when I found it.

    I agree that generalising generations can be stupid

    Then practice what you preach and edit your comment to not bash on an entire generation?

      It “can” be stupid, means it is not always stupid but at times it is.

      Learn to read, mate.

      And what do you mean bash an entire generation? It is a proven fact. How does one explain the rise of Tiktok and short form videos? We have shorter attention span thanks to the internet.

      I can say boomers are materialistic overall because those from the West were handed everything on silver platter and do not want to part those material gains; meanwhile those from poorer countries who gained wealth over the years have scarcity/hoarding mentality after experiencing poverty, like my parents have. How does one explain the difficulty of younger generation to afford their own home for the same salary that their parents were earning in the latter’s 20s?

      Environment has as much influence on population mindset. If you are old enough to know that, I don’t need to explain it to you.

      I swear, the Internet can be stupid-- and this is one of those times.

        Very much a “I hate drama, but it follows me everywhere!” moment for you.

              Haha. I would have expected better from Lemmy to know that it’s well studied and news long ago that younger people have lower attention span because of smartphones and internet. But I guess this is still the Internet after all with all its ignorance, despite having access to information at the touch of the finger tips.

        I would like to cast my vote and say that yes, it can be stupid, and your comment was also definitely one of those times :P

          There is a nugget of truth at times to generalisation. And it’s not a bad thing to acknowledge flaws.

          You must be a butthurt Gen Z or millenial-- and you seem to be embodying the stereotype of snowflake generation even though I dislike it (I always say who raised us if we’re snowflakes?). Because there is modicum of truth; and it’s not a bad thing to acknowledge it. I cast my vote that you give the younger generation a bad name for doing stupid thing-- at times.
