  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

As a gen-xer, I just don’t get a lot of millennial humor.

Can you give an example?

As a millennial, i don't get Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but i do get sponge bob.

That’s an excellent example

I do get ATHF, but I do not get SpongeBob

This is just autistic munchausen’s. Everyone wants to be special without the effort and we’ve romanticized mental illness.

There are also other conditions whose symptoms score really high on autism screeners. Certain types of PTSD, for example.

Kind of like how some people who give up wheat and feel better think they're gluten intolerant, but it was actually the FODMAPs.

How do you know anyone's ages in this post?

Also, isn't the joke here that the young person (millennials aren't young people), finds the older person idiotic?

Didn’t you see me say that I’m a gen-xer? I’m only thinking of myself. Or, rather, criticizing the world I see, cynically, on the context of “the self” as is my mode. I’m so abstracted that I really don’t care about anyone else.

BUT I do now realize that this post was actually a Gen Z joke about Millennials, but, you know, whatever.

I’m too busy being pretentious and self-involved
