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.

What kind of psycopath counts generation death as a good thing. All interesting humans dead and you take it as an achievement.

Stop crying on the past. Stop blaming past on generations. Start learning from past generation mistakes, and thank them for having you.

Because as a new generation we're going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations. And we shouldn't be blamed in the future.

Blaming the past generations and not learning from them is a childish response. Start doing something productive and useful to society, blaming is not helping.

Stop having tantrums and grow up. And thank you have past generations otherwise you would have to create all we have now from scratch.

It's like saying "Newton dumb" because his work is old and it doesn't work correctly for all physical frames, not like Einstein his work is much better. Both are as good because they lived at different times with different technology, knowledge, society, etc.

This feels like explaining basic life knowledge to a 3 year old tbh.

Yeah, not like boomers blame millenials or gen Z for everything. Oh wait.

No, they don't. They blamed the silent gen for ecological destruction, social inequality, and war. They also, like every generation back to australopithecus blamed their elders and thought the younger generation was spoiled & had shorter attention spans.

Don't foolishly attribute a universal human flaw to a single group of people.
