This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

By "like this" I assume anon means "this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people".

If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (7 children)

I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.

The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.

And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

It's ironic that wanting to use one's own brain makes someone a "boomer." I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that's one trait that I've seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.

1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.

But yeah, oof.

1980 here. I consider myself genx. I'm on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that's where millennial begins.

I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter

Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows...

Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.

Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago

TIL I've been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 12 points 6 days ago

I love sitting so fucking much. 99% of my jobs have been on my feet for the whole day.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 5 points 5 days ago

I'm liedownmaxxing, not sleepmaxing, just liedownmaxxing.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago

Bro wasn't standmaxxing, he was standgooning.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

TIL there's a thing called standmaxing...

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 35 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I'm currently replymaxxing

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.

Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don't see a reply yet.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 4 days ago

I saw some graffiti that simply read "DEATHMAXXING?" and I still think about that pretty regularly

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago

At my funeral there will be no seats. Only other empty coffins i has rented for my special occasion. Everyone will get to lay in a coffin with me at the same time.

[–] null@lemmy.org 12 points 6 days ago

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 5 days ago

OOP should've made his stand fight his dad. Smh

[–] housedogpartyfavor@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

nobody who uses the term maxxing has a boomer for a parent

Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.
