@igakoga2481 there's a saying my mother has "hurt people either hurt people or they go "no, I know what it means to be hurt so I will not hurt"" and unfortunately many people seem to prefer to hurt than to not.
@igakoga2481 I mean a lot of times at least in eastern yuropoor countries workers steal shit that wasn't nailed down , and a lot of boomers miss this , i don't know it was a thing in westoid countries tho
I feel like the idea of the street lamp meant "come back before the street lights come on" and children today have a phone for their parents to call and tell them to come home.
Yes, and I don't even see it as a dig at younger generation who haven't had that experience because the post itself doesn't even say something about that, maybe it's just older people reminiscing about when they were young
Funny enough the reason this doesn’t happen anymore is because the boomer kids who grew up to raise milennials and Gen z forbade their children from being out at night en masse as well as the constant threat on us that being out in the dark would get you killed or ‘napped
My favorite part about the “men who don’t hunt” meme is that you can very clearly see the “….or Fish” was added after the original meme was posted, meaning some man who presumably goes fishing, felt his masculinity was so invalidated by the original meme that he had to edit it to include himself in the no homo category
My favorite part is how the person who made the meme supposedly to trash "not manly men" inadvertently admitted to thinking of those individuals naked.

Ugggh. As a Gen X person, I am so sorry! I always tell myself if I EVER start saying, "Back in my day..." Please just put me away. I grew up hearing all of that BS from my toxic boomer parents. It was made worse because I didn't feel safe to come out as queer until last year. No. No. No. I cringe having Gen X frequently glumped together with the boomers, but maybe we deserve it. I wish all young people the best. We handed you a sh*t show. 😢 I have no children, but a Gen Z niece and nephew and I'm there for them in any way I can be. Sending Auntie Gretchie hugs to anyone who would like/ needs one! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🥰☺️
You seem so sweet! Please don't feel bad for what other people around your age might have done. What matters is your actions as an individual, and from what I'm seeing, you're absolutely lovely :) thank you for this, your comment made me smile! I'm so glad you finally felt safe to come out and I hope it brought you peace and confidence.
Congrats on coming out! Took me forever too haha I'm an older Millennial (40) and I'll talk about "back in my day" about fun stuff like music and other stuff I enjoyed. To my kid mostly lol He thinks some of it sounded pretty cool. I def prefer how things around now tho and how much more open most people are. Being a queer kid (not really knowing it tho) was tough.
From one to another you’re gonna do it a little it’s just part of being old you get nostalgic. Just don’t give it a halo, remember it for what it was. By and large it was a smoky violent dirty bigoted shit show.
As if they don't have gender...🤡 why do they think trans and non binary people make up something new? I barf at that one: "i identify/pronouns are pretty princess" 👹 pronouns are literal grammar 😃🤡 like, grandpa Joe, you are He/Him, and wouldn't even think of NOT being a man. 🤦🏻♀️ everyone can be choicefully ignorant, but this is just extremely dumb
As a trans man, I would just like to say to all transphobes; PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING NEW I'M BEGGING, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ATTACK HELICOPERS I NEED SOMETHING MORE JUICY AND FRESH!!!!!!!!
Annamarie, I grew up in a very pro-hunting culture, where we had excused absences from school for hunting week. I'm here to tell you: I snort-laughed when you called hunting a "physical activity." Most of the physical activity I saw involved sitting in a tree stand and lifting beers. Sometimes both at once.
I used to fish before I grew up, literally post 25 I realised I wouldn't do it if they could make a sound... and ditto, it's the laziest thing in the world.
i have a question: is fishing really considering that distinctive from hunting, enough to necessitate that edited-in addition? i mean either way you're going after an animal for sport and/or food right. or is this a "meat or fish" hold over from lent logic kinda mentality? thanks!
@@gwennorthcutt421 Ma’am that is a longwinded answer meant for Wikipedia. But basically: different preparation, different regulations, different equipment, different skills, different clothing, etc. Also the only goal of hunting is to kill but with fishing your goal could just be catch and release.
Hunting and fishing is a lot of waiting. First time I went hunting (and I'm 90% sure my last) I had a panic attack because of the waiting in dark silence. I can do fishing tho 👍
It's less intimidating when you realize most of the folks posting this stuff are grandparent age. Most of the folks crying "why won't someone think of the children" have children who are in their 30's and 40's. Its so silly.
That steak meme reminds me of these influencers who eat nothing but raw meat, including balls, and then act like they're "living naturally." Meanwhile, the largest part of ancient man's diet was grain.
I also love that they aren't smart enough to realize they feel better initially because whatever they were eating that wasn't agreeing with their system is no longer there. But as they continue they start to become malnourished and angry and their brain can't work properly to get them to think "maybe I need more than meat because I don't feel good anymore." Oh and the fact that during the hunting and gathering phase of humanity, we were primarily gatherers so we had a mostly vegetarian diet 😂 I swear we all learned this in school
Me and my partner have a good dynamic, we're both autistic and I get the urge to say insults that are obviously untrue because I just find that stuff funny and she insults me by accident because she has no filter and doesn't know what might be rude lol.
You just really have to make sure you’re in a relationship with the right person. Having common values and beliefs takes a lot of this mess out of the equation. And not getting married to your high school sweetheart would help fix a lot of these problems, but these people seem to be brainwashed into thinking the first person they copulate with is “the one”. Until they get a little older, and the regret starts hitting hard, and before you know it, they’re cheating on their partners.
Fun fact: we have written records of older people complaining about the youth going back hundreds and hundreds of years talking about how young people are lazy, entitled and don’t want to work.
I'm convinced that what Boomers want more than anything is to be told that their horrible childhood experiences were normal and fine. They were strong for suffering in silence. It breaks them when they hear that hitting kids etc. is abuse, because then they have to reckon with the reality that what happened to them wasn't normal, it wasn't okay, and they're a victim. If telling men that they can't cry etc. is bad, then what happened to them as children was bad. They can't handle it. They'd rather hurt everyone in their lives and be loud and obnoxious on the internet rather than unpack all the shit they went through
The lamp one is actually something else- when the light comes on, it's time to head home. I see it as a joke about how modern neighbourhoods are more hostile and less avaliable for kids to play in freely, without supervision. So, that's the one meme I do kinda agree with. Its less about "kids these days never go outside", and more "kids these days can't go outside and play on their own, because we screwed the world up"
@@DARKESTICEBURG that's terrible. I feel very sorry for young girls and afabs not feeling safe enough to go outside. It's imperative to their future health to get more vitamin D, due to osteoporosis being more common I afabs. And yet, men won't control themselves, not that they can't, it's that they won't. And there's no excuse nor reason for it 😢
it's less that they screwed the world up and more about we are more aware of how fkin dangerous people really can be. nobody thought about getting kidnapped because there wasn't a way for amber alerts to spread to quickly be widespread, if they even existed at all. now i dread summer as a parent, because summer is amber alert season, if you will.
Wouldn't it be the other way round tho? The meme is "you're old school if you know the street light coming on means it's time to go home". Implying kids these days DON'T go home just because it's getting dark.
@@audreydoyle5268 it's really sad, me and my friends love biking to gas stations and Starbucks and parks and whatnot, but it's terrifying being afraid of what others can do to us
People really like to brag about how violent their childhood was and I never understand what they want the reaction to be, because I feel like they wouldn't appreciate me saying "Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that 😢"
I'm 37 & used to say the "I turned out fine" thing. I, in fact, did not turn out fine 🥴 I'll never lay a hand on my adorable, sweet, innocent baby! I can't fathom how they thought that was ok. I got the switch, belt, hands. Very traumatized from it, among all their other mistakes 🥲 They literally viewed us as dogs, like breaking an animal. Jeebus Gris that's dark 😳
I'm really glad you were able to realize you were traumatized and I hope, in addition to raising your kiddo right, that you're getting your own support too ❤
im so sorry you were put through that, thankfully you recognized the abuse and broke out of the cycle 🤍 that kind of stuff is traumatizing, just as much for children as it is for animals. language is very powerful, so I’d just like to ask to rethink the usage of speciesist phrases like „treated like animals“ etc as that reinforces the idea that nonhuman animals are lesser than humans animals. I don’t mean to step on anyone‘s toes, but maybe this could be kept in mind 🤍
@@aghasearmyshawolblinkonce8039 Medical freedom. Except for women, trans people, and everyone in general (because you bet those assholes are against universal healthcare)
yeah...tho, they haven't acted as though they want small government since last millennium. I think it's just that its become a habit to say that. what they actually seem to want, as far as the actions they're taking, is a christian theocracy. which, according to bible, would mean we all die for being blasphemous gay non-believers who talk back to our parents and enjoy sex. pretty much all things punished by death in their old "good" book. it's genuinely one of the ugliest things i've ever read. and don't get me started on the all loving god commanding the taking of virgin child r*pe slaves in the bible story about their genocide of the amalekites. that book is a moral nightmare. (no word on how the holy soldiers checked the little gurls for virginity after slaughtering their friends and families in front of them. If that's the "good" book, i don't even wanna know what the "bad" book is.)
I’m a Lesbian from Australia who got out of school 2 years ago. Can confirm there is still lots of fights and bullies, and a majority of LGBT+ people I know are some of the strongest most resilient people I know. That Aussie meme is just beyond stupid
Pisses me off when Aussies do the conservative bullshit. I feel like mostly here in Australia younger people are mostly accepting and old people are mainly just ignorant of anything not aggressively white but then there's wannabe American types who pretend we're an extra American state. Like isn't out culture supposed to be laid back( it's definitely racist but at least not white hood racist) and there's people especially in rural Australia where I currently am that are actively trying to make our country like Texas or some shit. I hate the people trying to wind back progress but I sure as fuck hope they seethe when the Mardi gras parade marches down the main street.
Also from Aussie - also agree, it’s a stupid and very unfunny meme and most importantly has nothing to do with Australia. I was expecting maybe like a back in my day and a Woolies customised cake or something to do with the size of lamingtons! Should have known not to expect that from FB 😂
as someone who has been cyber bullied and bullied, cyber bullying is way worse personally. 1, everyone can join in, 2, everyone can see what they say to you, 3, most of the time it’s anonymous.
Looking forward to the day the first dude's wife stops "nagging" him (aka communicating her needs which he ignores) because it means she's checked out and getting her ducks in a row to leave him

Years ago I left Facebook when I reached my boiling point after an old friends mom was posting non stop about how legalizing cannabis is going to cause kids to become drug addicts. She kept sharing these articles filled to the brim with misinfo, and I started to comment before deciding you know what, its better for my mental health if I just remove myself entirely. Since then I've slowly deleted all my social media. Its very freeing, and none of us "need it" as bad as we think we do.
I love my family and I don't get to see them much so I keep Facebook to wish them a happy birthday and like wedding or grad pictures. However, I have been known to mute my aunt for a little while when she got to bibley for me. I also blocked my cousin who gave unsolicited advice on my random junk journal. I am truly petty but it makes me happy.
@@Happytravellerkimmyi totally get that. When my son was little thats the main reason I had a fb, its just easier to share with family you don't see much. For me though, I realized its just as easy to send pics and videos directly to them. I also kept messenger so more distant relatives who insist on communicating through fb can still reach me lol.
i read cannabis and cannibalism and was really confused about why it would cause kids to be drug addicts and why you would disagree with why cannibalism shouldn’t be legal lol
trueeee. i've started keeping my ringer off 24/7 and only checking the phone when i want to, and you know what? i haven't missed anything important. i still check it once or twice an hour, but i do it when i feel like it. it makes a difference. but the best thing i ever did for myself phone-wise was replacing my phone with an actual alarm clock. one that doesn't doesn't demand i engage with other people. cuz you know that feeling when you wake up naturally and you kinda live in your head in lingering-dream solo mode for a bit? you brain needs that time, chemically speaking. the second you look at your phone in the morning, you brain will instinctively switch to outside mode, cuz it knows you're preparing to engage with others via the phone. you're wondering anyone wants to talk to you or if they need you for something. it made such a huge difference to both my sleep and my mood when learned that, and i've just started shutting my phone off at night.
I’ve noticed all boomer and conservative jokes fall into one of the following categories: fragile masculinity, I hate my spouse, bigotry, trauma Olympics, “back in my day”, or exposing my extremely contradictory beliefs.
9:22 I think the joke is that when the streetlight turns on, kids would have to go home for dinner. My Papa told me once "If I was out after the streetlights had turned on I'd get in some real trouble.", so yeah I think the joke is that kids don't go outside enough to know that..? But people have portable phones with the time on them now, so no kid with a phone (which is most kids, at least kids at the ages parents are comfortable with them being out alone at nowadays) would need to know that. So yeah, if you're old school you'd know that meaning of the streetlight.
4:33 Im pretty sure the top picture is from peacemaker and that kid actually dies as a result of injurys from that fight, his father essentially kills his own kid by trying to force him to be tough.
It's funny when people are like "your momma clearly never beat you enough as a child" or whatever and I literally get to look and say no they did. I just saw a therapist and worked through my problems
"Kids these days dont go outside anymore" Yeah cuz they dont wannq get shot, kidnapped, harmed, or arrested for "loitering" or get police called on them for simply being kids in public😂
I know we're already a few days into Sinmas, but it's absolutely crazy to think it's already been a year since the last one. Very excited to see the videos to come, they make my day!
“Kids these days need to toughen up” sir I don’t think you could comprehend the idea of someone on amino send you your address and full name at 13 and then having to sit quietly at dinner with your family.
17:28 so food is my special interest and bread is highly consided one of the foundations of civilization. Bread was literally mans first prepared food. Our teeth and mouths evolved to eat grain because of how much we ate bread and grain (cereals)
9:47 it was meant to reference that when the street lights came on you were supposed to go home. Which is all fine and good for those city kids. But us country kids who didn't live in towns with street lights, where there was literally only one stop light and it was on the freeway, because some genius thought it would be a good idea to build the only grocery store on the other side of the freeway from where all the housing. We didn't come home until it was dark and the mosquitoes were out in full force. In the winter we came home when we could no longer feel our toes. We didn't stay out do long because we were having fun or enjoying ourselves, we stayed out because our parents might be home...
I know this isn't really the topic but your back light gave you an ethereal look in this video. 7:17 this dude also is super flexible, he's clearly doing well for his own health
9:49 I think what this was meaning is that back in the 90’s or so when kids played outside all day most of the time when the street lights went off they had to immediately go home! I think that it was a reference to the old rules some held :)
5:41 As a modern teen, I can safely state that fights do still happen. However, they were on the decline until some states started to ban cell phones at school, meaning kids had to solve problems with their fists instead of Snapchat
8:11 Alright. Let’s go. *People-indefinite* pronoun *Who*- *it* would be interrogative, but *it’s* in the middle, not the start. Which means *it’s* classified as *relative* *I’ve-personal* *few-indefinite* There *we* go. *I* have an eighth grade education so far (*I’m* almost 14). If a grown adult says “*I* don’t believe in pronouns” *they* are extremely contradicting. *This* person can also be described by adjectives like: immature, ignorant, hateful, and uneducated. Thank *you* for *your* time.
14:07 The sewing devil has excellent taste in sewing machines. (The old ones are so much more durable and easy to maintain than modern plastic-encased machines).
boomer "i hate my wife" humor always confused me because my boomer grandparents are literally obsessed with each other and so in love and i never realized most boomers didn't get so lucky :(( great video as always annamarie
I go on Facebook to comment “who is that?” Under religious boomer posts just to watch them have a meltdown when I ultimately say “mmm must not be important if idk anyone who heard of that mythos”
@blackrecruitFlt Okay? If they think other religions are just mythology and less valid, they'll get the same treatment. Those people suffer a lot of discrimination but if they're willing to put other religions down for their own religion's sake then I'm more than willing to call theirs mythology too. Religious fundamentalism sucks no matter who it comes from Doesn't excuse persecution, doesn't excuse the genocide Jewish people went through, doesn't excuse anything like that. But if you are willing to discriminate against other religions, which have just as much evidence as yours (that is, 0 evidence because religions are based on faith, not science) you can take your religion getting called "mythology" by a random asshole on the internet. Really doesn't matter
The point of the streetlight one is that back when our parents played outside with friends, they had a lot more freedom and the general rule was "be home when the streetlights come on." It's funny though because my mom and other people her age would talk about that all the time, but were too scared to give us the same freedoms. It wasn't that we didn't want to play outside. It was the growth of the 24 hour news cycle and fear mongering. (For context, my mom was born in the early 70s, my dad in the late 60s, and me in the mid 90s). Now with the rise of cell phones, I'm seeing more kids being granted a bit more freedom again since parents can get ahold of them any time anywhere (though of course helicopter parents still exist and not every kid wants to play outside as much with the rise of cheap and fun technology)
9:55 okay I’m trying to be annoying but I think the joke was that when the street lights turn on you’re supposed to be home by then at least that’s how it was for me😅
bold of you to assume my ancestors did not eat captain crunch. my great grandpappy fought the war only on the crunch. that's why they call it the captain.
When I saw that meme at 15:09, I thought it was "I identify as Priest" and my response was "So you are kidd fiddler?" Now I see what the meme is about *Facepalm*
9:27 to be fair, I'm pretty sure the person who originally posted this meme is referring to how children used to play outside until the street lamps came on and signaled them to come inside
5:19 "Back in my day, we got punished if we didn't suck it up and act like we don't have emotions. How dare people actually learn it's ok to be bothered by bad people! I'm just angry and bitter now."
9:25 : Before most people had cellphones, the only way to tell what time it was when you were outside was to have a watch or clock. So parents would tell kids (since not every kid had a watch) to come home when the street lamps turned on. Even if it might seem weird, it has little to do with simply "being outside". By not getting what that means, you have become the butt end of that "joke."
So I remember my mom telling me about the street lamp thing when I was younger. Parents used to tell their kids that they must be home before the street lamps come on, so the street lamp being on means trouble/angry parent.
yup on the Do you know where you're children are ad. I remember there was small joke in the Mask Animated series that said the time and the quote: DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE? I think with the different news channels in the late 80s they had different celebrities say this phrase. The main one that stood out to me that I've come across on TH-cam was this one that was done by Grace Jones.
The boomer I hate my spouse "jokes" make me incredibly grateful to have parents who do not behave like that, nor a spouse who makes those jokes either.
11:53 Kids still… do have to do the pledge though. Like every single day of school… it’s practically engraved in their memories because they just have to say it for some reason
I don't do the pledge, I kinda think it's a little weird to make a bunch of kids pledge their loyalty to some cloth hanging from the wall. It's ominous imo.
I graduated high school in 2012, which was early social media days, and I was horrendously bullied my sophomore year to the point I had to transfer schools for my last two years. A lot of bullying took place online - I even got physical and death threats and people posting literal crimes they were wanting to commit on me on Facebook. I'm now nearly 30 and am working on this with my therapist, but "kIdS these dAys are ToO sEnSITIVE"
9:18 I think this meme is talking about kids who spent all day outside, with their only rule to come back “by dark.” That means, when the street lamps turned on, kids would have to rush home to get back before it was completely dark outside. While it’s much less condescending, you could argue that the world that the previous generation created isn’t safe enough, or was never safe enough, to let children just run around with no supervision “until dark”, especially with the constant tearing down of natural surroundings, like trees, parks, hiking trails, and fields. It’s all paved now. :(

Fun fact: early hominids from what we can tell we’re more likely to have a diet consisting of mainly plants and fruit insted of meat as gathering was a lot easer and safer then hunting
The street lamp one is because older people were told as kids to "be home by the time the street lights came on." Legit know this because my own parents used it for me in the early 2000s. They stopped saying that once I got my own cell phone in 2007
9:25 it's sort of about kids not going outside? in the 80's and such it was a common rule for kids in neighborhoods that they had to be home once the street lamps came on
Man, I wish I lived such a life of absolute privilege to where I could sit around getting offended or pretending to get offended over other random people who I don't know, have never met or may not even exist, getting offended.
9:18 I assume it’s referring to the “get back home before the street lights come on.” I’m only 23, but my mom told me that. My brother and I joked that when the lights came on you had to book it home so you don’t get a whoopin
the streetlamp "meme" is in reference to being told you had to be home/come in from playing outside when the streetlights came on. you were on the right track with the "kids these days dont go outside" assumption, though!
The street lamp meme was because kids would know to come home when they came on, not that kids don’t get out enough. You had a really good interpretation, though.. I never thought of it that way. ❤
Boomers are definitely rough but gen z is too, I’m gen z and there’s still awful teens and 20 year olds who feel like they can disrespect people on the internet and have no repercussions, when no, unless a person deserves it you should treat people the way they want to be treated. Like Anna said cyber bullying is a real thing and huge recently especially when gen alpha is already having access to the internet
so that streetlamp one you were on the right track uwu~ its actually bc like my parents generation (born in the60s/70s) ((also i was born in the 2000s so)) used to play outside until the streetlights came on so they'd have to book it home, just like how there were ads that were like "do YOU know where ur child is???" would play.
I just turned 40 this year and I have to say that when I talk to old friends they are starting to have these "back in the day" or "this new thing I don't get is dumb" and it's really annoying. I've started ribbing them about it.

Annamarie, I grew up in a very pro-hunting culture, where we had excused absences from school for hunting week. I'm here to tell you: I snort-laughed when you called hunting a "physical activity." Most of the physical activity I saw involved sitting in a tree stand and lifting beers. Sometimes both at once.
I used to fish before I grew up, literally post 25 I realised I wouldn't do it if they could make a sound... and ditto, it's the laziest thing in the world.
Hunting really is 90% sitting lmao
i have a question: is fishing really considering that distinctive from hunting, enough to necessitate that edited-in addition? i mean either way you're going after an animal for sport and/or food right. or is this a "meat or fish" hold over from lent logic kinda mentality? thanks!
@@gwennorthcutt421 Ma’am that is a longwinded answer meant for Wikipedia. But basically: different preparation, different regulations, different equipment, different skills, different clothing, etc. Also the only goal of hunting is to kill but with fishing your goal could just be catch and release.
Hunting and fishing is a lot of waiting. First time I went hunting (and I'm 90% sure my last) I had a panic attack because of the waiting in dark silence. I can do fishing tho 👍
The minion anti vax meme is even less intimidating when you notice they used the wrong "your" TWICE.

That steak meme reminds me of these influencers who eat nothing but raw meat, including balls, and then act like they're "living naturally." Meanwhile, the largest part of ancient man's diet was grain.
Legumes are a serious lifesaver even today, better believe we were relying on them for nutrients waaaaaay more than a frickin bobcat or whatever
I also love that they aren't smart enough to realize they feel better initially because whatever they were eating that wasn't agreeing with their system is no longer there. But as they continue they start to become malnourished and angry and their brain can't work properly to get them to think "maybe I need more than meat because I don't feel good anymore."
Oh and the fact that during the hunting and gathering phase of humanity, we were primarily gatherers so we had a mostly vegetarian diet 😂 I swear we all learned this in school
No matter how far you go back, meat has NEVER been more than half of the calories we consumed until recently, especially raw meat.
Not to mention shit like bread and rice is the cornerstone of how civilizations got started worldwide.
Even before humans learned agriculture we were hunters AND gatherers, not just hunters
I think all the raw meat is getting to their brains
Seeing so many people mercilessly tear down their partner while claiming “it’s just a joke” is great motivation to never be in a relationship lmao
As someone who's aroace, I see this as an absolute win
Yeah, seeing that just makes me less and less interested in dating lol (am aro btw)
Me and my partner have a good dynamic, we're both autistic and I get the urge to say insults that are obviously untrue because I just find that stuff funny and she insults me by accident because she has no filter and doesn't know what might be rude lol.
You just really have to make sure you’re in a relationship with the right person. Having common values and beliefs takes a lot of this mess out of the equation. And not getting married to your high school sweetheart would help fix a lot of these problems, but these people seem to be brainwashed into thinking the first person they copulate with is “the one”. Until they get a little older, and the regret starts hitting hard, and before you know it, they’re cheating on their partners.
So real honestly
Fun fact: we have written records of older people complaining about the youth going back hundreds and hundreds of years talking about how young people are lazy, entitled and don’t want to work.
I'm convinced that what Boomers want more than anything is to be told that their horrible childhood experiences were normal and fine. They were strong for suffering in silence. It breaks them when they hear that hitting kids etc. is abuse, because then they have to reckon with the reality that what happened to them wasn't normal, it wasn't okay, and they're a victim. If telling men that they can't cry etc. is bad, then what happened to them as children was bad. They can't handle it. They'd rather hurt everyone in their lives and be loud and obnoxious on the internet rather than unpack all the shit they went through
THIS
Fr no one likes to be called the victim and can cross insane limits to make sure it doesn't happen💀
Underrated comment, this is so accurate

This... explains a lot.
The lamp one is actually something else- when the light comes on, it's time to head home. I see it as a joke about how modern neighbourhoods are more hostile and less avaliable for kids to play in freely, without supervision. So, that's the one meme I do kinda agree with. Its less about "kids these days never go outside", and more "kids these days can't go outside and play on their own, because we screwed the world up"
As a 13 yr old EXACTLY. It's very scary going outside, especially scince I'm afab😓
@@DARKESTICEBURG that's terrible. I feel very sorry for young girls and afabs not feeling safe enough to go outside. It's imperative to their future health to get more vitamin D, due to osteoporosis being more common I afabs. And yet, men won't control themselves, not that they can't, it's that they won't. And there's no excuse nor reason for it 😢
it's less that they screwed the world up and more about we are more aware of how fkin dangerous people really can be. nobody thought about getting kidnapped because there wasn't a way for amber alerts to spread to quickly be widespread, if they even existed at all. now i dread summer as a parent, because summer is amber alert season, if you will.
Wouldn't it be the other way round tho? The meme is "you're old school if you know the street light coming on means it's time to go home". Implying kids these days DON'T go home just because it's getting dark.
@@audreydoyle5268 it's really sad, me and my friends love biking to gas stations and Starbucks and parks and whatnot, but it's terrifying being afraid of what others can do to us
"I want to be called by adjectives instead of pronouns."
[uses pronouns in the meme]
Bro was like, "I got the 12 lashings of Christmas as a kid!" I'm so sorry your parents didn't like you smh.
People really like to brag about how violent their childhood was and I never understand what they want the reaction to be, because I feel like they wouldn't appreciate me saying "Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that 😢"
I'm 37 & used to say the "I turned out fine" thing. I, in fact, did not turn out fine 🥴 I'll never lay a hand on my adorable, sweet, innocent baby! I can't fathom how they thought that was ok. I got the switch, belt, hands. Very traumatized from it, among all their other mistakes 🥲 They literally viewed us as dogs, like breaking an animal. Jeebus Gris that's dark 😳
I'm really glad you were able to realize you were traumatized and I hope, in addition to raising your kiddo right, that you're getting your own support too ❤
Thank you for saying this. The number of people our age who use the "I turned out fine" line is infuriating.
im so sorry you were put through that, thankfully you recognized the abuse and broke out of the cycle 🤍 that kind of stuff is traumatizing, just as much for children as it is for animals. language is very powerful, so I’d just like to ask to rethink the usage of speciesist phrases like „treated like animals“ etc as that reinforces the idea that nonhuman animals are lesser than humans animals. I don’t mean to step on anyone‘s toes, but maybe this could be kept in mind 🤍
So these people want smaller government, but somehow want their strict rules to be enforced?
yep and notice how they said they want medical freedom?
@@aghasearmyshawolblinkonce8039
Medical freedom. Except for women, trans people, and everyone in general (because you bet those assholes are against universal healthcare)
The cognitive dissonance is real with the conservatives.
Reminds me of the political ad where the guy says "next time you get in trouble, call a crackhead " 😂
yeah...tho, they haven't acted as though they want small government since last millennium. I think it's just that its become a habit to say that. what they actually seem to want, as far as the actions they're taking, is a christian theocracy. which, according to bible, would mean we all die for being blasphemous gay non-believers who talk back to our parents and enjoy sex. pretty much all things punished by death in their old "good" book. it's genuinely one of the ugliest things i've ever read.
and don't get me started on the all loving god commanding the taking of virgin child r*pe slaves in the bible story about their genocide of the amalekites. that book is a moral nightmare. (no word on how the holy soldiers checked the little gurls for virginity after slaughtering their friends and families in front of them. If that's the "good" book, i don't even wanna know what the "bad" book is.)
I’m a Lesbian from Australia who got out of school 2 years ago. Can confirm there is still lots of fights and bullies, and a majority of LGBT+ people I know are some of the strongest most resilient people I know. That Aussie meme is just beyond stupid
Pisses me off when Aussies do the conservative bullshit. I feel like mostly here in Australia younger people are mostly accepting and old people are mainly just ignorant of anything not aggressively white but then there's wannabe American types who pretend we're an extra American state.
Like isn't out culture supposed to be laid back( it's definitely racist but at least not white hood racist) and there's people especially in rural Australia where I currently am that are actively trying to make our country like Texas or some shit.
I hate the people trying to wind back progress but I sure as fuck hope they seethe when the Mardi gras parade marches down the main street.
Also from Aussie - also agree, it’s a stupid and very unfunny meme and most importantly has nothing to do with Australia. I was expecting maybe like a back in my day and a Woolies customised cake or something to do with the size of lamingtons! Should have known not to expect that from FB 😂

Lol I've never heard the phrase, "getting her ducks in a row," that's adorably awesome
As a millenial whose childhood included "welts with a belt", I became the softest person to the point of reclusion. I am 31 years old and terrified of all human beings. The implication of "abuse equals strength" is so barf-worthy.

Years ago I left Facebook when I reached my boiling point after an old friends mom was posting non stop about how legalizing cannabis is going to cause kids to become drug addicts. She kept sharing these articles filled to the brim with misinfo, and I started to comment before deciding you know what, its better for my mental health if I just remove myself entirely. Since then I've slowly deleted all my social media. Its very freeing, and none of us "need it" as bad as we think we do.
I love my family and I don't get to see them much so I keep Facebook to wish them a happy birthday and like wedding or grad pictures. However, I have been known to mute my aunt for a little while when she got to bibley for me. I also blocked my cousin who gave unsolicited advice on my random junk journal. I am truly petty but it makes me happy.
@@Happytravellerkimmyi totally get that. When my son was little thats the main reason I had a fb, its just easier to share with family you don't see much. For me though, I realized its just as easy to send pics and videos directly to them. I also kept messenger so more distant relatives who insist on communicating through fb can still reach me lol.
i read cannabis and cannibalism and was really confused about why it would cause kids to be drug addicts and why you would disagree with why cannibalism shouldn’t be legal lol
trueeee. i've started keeping my ringer off 24/7 and only checking the phone when i want to, and you know what? i haven't missed anything important. i still check it once or twice an hour, but i do it when i feel like it. it makes a difference.
but the best thing i ever did for myself phone-wise was replacing my phone with an actual alarm clock. one that doesn't doesn't demand i engage with other people. cuz you know that feeling when you wake up naturally and you kinda live in your head in lingering-dream solo mode for a bit? you brain needs that time, chemically speaking. the second you look at your phone in the morning, you brain will instinctively switch to outside mode, cuz it knows you're preparing to engage with others via the phone. you're wondering anyone wants to talk to you or if they need you for something. it made such a huge difference to both my sleep and my mood when learned that, and i've just started shutting my phone off at night.
@@Charlie-artie damnit, now i want a "legalize it!" shirt for cannibalism
I’ve noticed all boomer and conservative jokes fall into one of the following categories: fragile masculinity, I hate my spouse, bigotry, trauma Olympics, “back in my day”, or exposing my extremely contradictory beliefs.
9:22 I think the joke is that when the streetlight turns on, kids would have to go home for dinner. My Papa told me once "If I was out after the streetlights had turned on I'd get in some real trouble.", so yeah I think the joke is that kids don't go outside enough to know that..? But people have portable phones with the time on them now, so no kid with a phone (which is most kids, at least kids at the ages parents are comfortable with them being out alone at nowadays) would need to know that. So yeah, if you're old school you'd know that meaning of the streetlight.

“Kids these days need to toughen up” sir I don’t think you could comprehend the idea of someone on amino send you your address and full name at 13 and then having to sit quietly at dinner with your family.
Ah, yes. Rice? Other grains? We have NEVER eaten those cultural staples! Weird that we named them that, though…those won’t fit in a stapler!
17:28 so food is my special interest and bread is highly consided one of the foundations of civilization. Bread was literally mans first prepared food. Our teeth and mouths evolved to eat grain because of how much we ate bread and grain (cereals)
9:47 it was meant to reference that when the street lights came on you were supposed to go home. Which is all fine and good for those city kids. But us country kids who didn't live in towns with street lights, where there was literally only one stop light and it was on the freeway, because some genius thought it would be a good idea to build the only grocery store on the other side of the freeway from where all the housing. We didn't come home until it was dark and the mosquitoes were out in full force. In the winter we came home when we could no longer feel our toes. We didn't stay out do long because we were having fun or enjoying ourselves, we stayed out because our parents might be home...
I feel that... I have a hideaway of the bank of a river near my house that i spend most of the day at because I hate being home.

Okay? If they think other religions are just mythology and less valid, they'll get the same treatment.

Religious fundamentalism sucks no matter who it comes from
Doesn't excuse persecution, doesn't excuse the genocide Jewish people went through, doesn't excuse anything like that. But if you are willing to discriminate against other religions, which have just as much evidence as yours (that is, 0 evidence because religions are based on faith, not science) you can take your religion getting called "mythology" by a random asshole on the internet.

The point of the streetlight one is that back when our parents played outside with friends, they had a lot more freedom and the general rule was "be home when the streetlights come on." It's funny though because my mom and other people her age would talk about that all the time, but were too scared to give us the same freedoms. It wasn't that we didn't want to play outside. It was the growth of the 24 hour news cycle and fear mongering. (For context, my mom was born in the early 70s, my dad in the late 60s, and me in the mid 90s). Now with the rise of cell phones, I'm seeing more kids being granted a bit more freedom again since parents can get ahold of them any time anywhere (though of course helicopter parents still exist and not every kid wants to play outside as much with the rise of cheap and fun technology)
yes, the "meaning" of the street light meme is "time to go home"
Right like we were children, we listened to our parents so why are we getting criticized when it’s literally them or their kids that enforced that

9:27 to be fair, I'm pretty sure the person who originally posted this meme is referring to how children used to play outside until the street lamps came on and signaled them to come inside
5:19 "Back in my day, we got punished if we didn't suck it up and act like we don't have emotions. How dare people actually learn it's ok to be bothered by bad people! I'm just angry and bitter now."
9:25 : Before most people had cellphones, the only way to tell what time it was when you were outside was to have a watch or clock. So parents would tell kids (since not every kid had a watch) to come home when the street lamps turned on. Even if it might seem weird, it has little to do with simply "being outside".
By not getting what that means, you have become the butt end of that "joke."
Growing up when the street lights turns on it means it’s time to go home.
Love your videos!

Hi, I’m trans and I can confirm that, at least, my friends and I aren’t really offended by the “I identify as…” jokes
i’m not offended by it either. just bored of it. those people should think of something else.
I personally let out a deep sigh and feel exhausted. It's just bland and overused at this point.
They just do it SO much, soooo overused.
So I remember my mom telling me about the street lamp thing when I was younger. Parents used to tell their kids that they must be home before the street lamps come on, so the street lamp being on means trouble/angry parent.
I feel like if a person didn’t feel comfortable enough to open up to their parents as a kid, that’s the parents fault
The street lamp being on means for kids to come home (similar to the tv ads asking parents if they knew where their kids were)
yup on the Do you know where you're children are ad.
I remember there was small joke in the Mask Animated series that said the time and the quote: DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?
I think with the different news channels in the late 80s they had different celebrities say this phrase. The main one that stood out to me that I've come across on TH-cam was this one that was done by Grace Jones.
I’ve been so anxious leading up to Christmas this year for an unknown reason, so having the 12 days Sinmas is easing it a bit. Shoutout!!
As someone who was beaten heavily as a child.. I can safely say it doesn't do anything besides give you trauma when you grow up.
The boomer I hate my spouse "jokes" make me incredibly grateful to have parents who do not behave like that, nor a spouse who makes those jokes either.
The street lamp one is a saying "be back in the house before them street lights turn on" 😂 before people always had phones
Middle school kid here: There are still multiple brutal fights breaking out every day, so yes, kids still get beat up often.
someone held fight club in the locker bay (im also in middle school) 💀
The streetlight one is in reference a rule many parents had when their kids were out playing: “when the streetlight comes on, it’s time to come home”
17:10 as an adamant bread enjoyer, i AM offended. we have been eating bread since the neolithic age.
The streetlamp meme is a play on the "kids don't understand that when the street lamps turn on, you come home" rule before cell phones and stuff

I graduated high school in 2012, which was early social media days, and I was horrendously bullied my sophomore year to the point I had to transfer schools for my last two years. A lot of bullying took place online - I even got physical and death threats and people posting literal crimes they were wanting to commit on me on Facebook. I'm now nearly 30 and am working on this with my therapist, but "kIdS these dAys are ToO sEnSITIVE"
8:05 it's funny how they used "I" to describe themself, since it's a pronoun and they 'don't have those.'
9:18 I think this meme is talking about kids who spent all day outside, with their only rule to come back “by dark.” That means, when the street lamps turned on, kids would have to rush home to get back before it was completely dark outside. While it’s much less condescending, you could argue that the world that the previous generation created isn’t safe enough, or was never safe enough, to let children just run around with no supervision “until dark”, especially with the constant tearing down of natural surroundings, like trees, parks, hiking trails, and fields. It’s all paved now. :(

The street lamp one is because older people were told as kids to "be home by the time the street lights came on."

They stopped saying that once I got my own cell phone in 2007
Funniest thing about the preferred adjectives is that those were all verbs😭😭😭
9:25 it's sort of about kids not going outside? in the 80's and such it was a common rule for kids in neighborhoods that they had to be home once the street lamps came on
Hey, the street lamp one is referring to how you’d have to come home by the time they came on.
@9:50 it meant that when the lights come on you had to go inside. My mom had this rule it was stupid because we snuck back out anyway
Man, I wish I lived such a life of absolute privilege to where I could sit around getting offended or pretending to get offended over other random people who I don't know, have never met or may not even exist, getting offended.
9:18 I assume it’s referring to the “get back home before the street lights come on.” I’m only 23, but my mom told me that. My brother and I joked that when the lights came on you had to book it home so you don’t get a whoopin
The street lamp one means once it went on it was time to go inside
the streetlamp "meme" is in reference to being told you had to be home/come in from playing outside when the streetlights came on. you were on the right track with the "kids these days dont go outside" assumption, though!
The street lamp meme was because kids would know to come home when they came on, not that kids don’t get out enough. You had a really good interpretation, though.. I never thought of it that way. ❤
When the street lamp turns on, you have to run inside to be safe. That's what it means.❤
Boomers are definitely rough but gen z is too, I’m gen z and there’s still awful teens and 20 year olds who feel like they can disrespect people on the internet and have no repercussions, when no, unless a person deserves it you should treat people the way they want to be treated.

so that streetlamp one you were on the right track uwu~ its actually bc like my parents generation (born in the60s/70s) ((also i was born in the 2000s so)) used to play outside until the streetlights came on so they'd have to book it home, just like how there were ads that were like "do YOU know where ur child is???" would play.

The lamp one is the whole "you have to come home when the streetlamp comes on" thing they did
I’m with you, but the street lamp thing is a reference to parents making sure their kids are home by the time the street lamps turn on
I just turned 40 this year and I have to say that when I talk to old friends they are starting to have these "back in the day" or "this new thing I don't get is dumb" and it's really annoying. I've started ribbing them about it.
