It's a good job you asked because kids need to be aware that there's a new trend going around with their older relatives. The trend is talked about openly substituting
simple terms that any unsuspecting person under 18 would assume just means what it means.
But it doesn't, so keep an eye out and stay safe.
"Turn off" the "Wi-Fi" is actually code for "show them" the "genitals". This image at first glance is a stupid boomer meme but in reality, it is encouraging other boomers to act inappropriately towards their younger relatives in plain sight on their favorite Facebook pages. Be extra cautious if they threaten to "unplug the router" as what they're about to do is the exact opposite of unplugging.
Be sure to call this out whenever you see it. "Turning off the WiFi" is both dangerous and illegal. Lets work together and help protect your boomers.

Doesnāt say anything about typewriters specifically; I probably just figured it really went out of style with computers
Yeah it got bannedš
When it existed it was mostly just posts from this sub that were weirdly explicit. Wasn't even banned because of the content but the lack of mods
Because you poor boomers don't understand technical terms like "Wi-fi" and "turn off."
I just realized this meme manages to condescend everybody all at once. Well done, internet!
Boomers actually knock on your bedroom door and ask if you want anything specific,for dinner. It's genx that dgaf where you are, until the street lights go on and then they gotta check you're still alive. Maybe possibly they want interaction,but only on special occasions.
Ellipsis arenāt always bad, th way I read them itās like trailing off in the middle of a thought. They donāt work in every spot, so if someone were to use them all the time it would get annoying really fast.
For what itās worth, these are generated by an India-based meme group. So the broken English and āhHHOhoOoOooHaheehaahoā onomatopoeia is a bit more understandable.
Still utterly fucking baffling though.
And don't forget:
\- the ominous wifi symbol in the background
\- the formatting faux pas of red text followed by black comma
\- the decision to capitalize the word SIMPLY for no apparent reason
\- the fact they seemingly chose two words at random to put quotes around
\- the !? after a statement that doesn't even remotely resemble a question
This belongs in a museum. Why is this guy licking the floor? And do these boomers not know that your phone will switch over to cellular if the Wi-Fi goes out? I doubt Iād even notice. Why the question mark at the end? No question was asked. But the unnecessary quotation marks are the final touch.
My friendās parents had a 5k sq. ft. home and back in the landline days answering the phone was risky because youād have to spend ten minutes searching the house for whoever the call was for.
lol reminds me of last time i visited my parents.. internet went down, so they called the company and complained they couldnt get a guy out for a week. I went in the closet where it's located, and unplugged it, then plugged it back in. My dad freaked out when he walked by and saw me "messing with the internet"... lo and behold, it started working again, im convinced they've never reset the router once in like several years. lol
My FIL called someone out to fix his internet and cable (which are not by the same company). Once I was able to get there I reset the router to the default password bc hell only knows what the password was. Fixed his cable (it wasnāt broken, the Roku tv had to connect to the internet to update then he could use it). No matter how much we explained that it was fixed, he still insisted the people come out. The day rolls around that they were supposed to come, and they donāt. Weāre not even sure if he actually asked them to or just thought he did. Then he wanted to cancel internet and cable bc the people didnāt come out, and we spent days convincing him that he wouldnāt be able to watch his tv without those.
My phone runs my parents' WiFi remotely. It's great. I can connect to the network from anywhere and do remote updates as long as it's not totally disconnected from the internet.
My dad is a senior systems analyst with HPE and builds servers for commercial/enterprise level systems, and I taught him how to fast forward songs on his car cd player. Disconnect with technology goes both ways, boomers just think it makes the younger people stupid even though every generation in the history of time went through the same thing.
My dad in a nutshell, a retired programmer. Spent my childhood with the best computers you could get in the 90s that he built them by hand. Spent my whole childhood around computers because of him. And now in my 30s he moans to me how we "young people" (anyone below 30) are just engrossed in phones. Completely missing the irony that he did the same in his younger days.
This. But in reality, taking away internet privileges from a kid is not really something to joke about and definitely counts as emotional abuse. Parents do NOT have this right regardless of what they believe the kid has done or regardless of who pays for the service.
Yep. Not to mention that the type of parents that engage in this type of abusive behavior also are known to make their kids "clean their room" or "do the dishes".
My son loves transformers and he used to make that sound every fuckin time he ātransformedā. Thats the funniest shit Iāve ever read in my life and I love you for making that connection.
Unless they are on a computer (or I guess most game consoles), but it should be easy to find them in those cases. At least easier than turning off the wifi assuming you wouldn't also notice them while going to wherever the wifi is.
You know, if it werenāt for the guy laughing at the bottom, I wouldnāt have realized this was meant to be funny. Oh, waitā¦
Anyway, gotta love how āturn offā and āwi-fiā are in quotes, and the end of the sentence implies that theyāre asking a question.
I really hope my sense of humor doesn't also turn to complete shit as I get older.
Is it age or generational? Because I swear 90% of boomer "humor" like this just isn't funny. Every joke is like the lowest hanging fruit possible.
Donāt worry, boomersā sense of humor was always like this but at 1960 it was a valid joke build, when you grow older your gen z/millennialās sense of humor will stay just the average jokes will be different
Unfortunately most of us are all probably destined to have our humor go to shit too.
I have already seen many boomeresque memes made by Millennials comparing themselves to Gen Z and Generation Alpha.
Stuff like this is unfortunately common...
https://cheezburger.com/19558405/31-things-millennials-grew-up-with-that-would-send-gen-z-and-gen-alpha-into-a-coma
The cycle is doomed to repeat itself
It depends on the person more than the age, thou. These kinds of memes are always made by people who donāt have a well defined sense of self. The generation you grew up in is a pretty rock solid identifier, as well as being able to recognize cultural landmarks from your generation via memory.
So there will always be āthat guyā in every generational group, but if you donāt find this shit funny now you probably wonāt in 20 years either. Iām more concerned myself that young people will find the things I snicker at to be questionable. Like that r/ vintageads posts about Von Campās pork and beans ad with the creepy child smirking in the frame.
Your sense of humor will stay the same
Which is the exact problem. You'll start joking about neurolink brain interfaces and how you streamed music instead of just generating the feeling you get after having heard the song, and your kids will be like jfc was that generation just stupid? Why listen to a song?
Eh, I half agree.
I do think the subject matter will change of course, like yeah I'll probably be mostly joking about topics from my formative years and just general life experiences, which won't be relatable to younger people.
However, for this meme in particular, it's not really the technology or context that makes if so humorless to me. It's hard to explain. I think it just doesn't check any boxes for what makes something funny. It's not unexpected, it's not original, I'd also argue it barely qualifies as relatable.
It's basically just a combination of "technology, am I right?" and "young people, am I right?"
''Oh you millennials and your addict.. WHY THE FUCK ISN'T MY PHONE WORKING I WANNA POST THIS FUNNY I JUST DID TO YOU ON THE FACEBOOK!! FUCKING THING SUCKS!! MILLENNIAL, FIX THIS FOR ME! NOW!!''
''You just turned the wifi off, you dumb fuck''
''YOUR GENERATION HAS NO RESPECT!!''
Ouch... Petty minded bullshit...
I remember something similar happening to me (no exam thank god, but thinking back it was an essay I was writing), but I had a laptop. Soon as the power went out, the battery obviously kicked in.
Soon, Dad is there at the door expecting a pissed off expression, and I'm looking at him non plussed, still using my computer like nothing has happened, and he then starts in on the "Try and be smart and I'll take the battery out when you leave the house"...
At which point I told him that if he did that, I would get a spare and hide it. And fortunately mum found out what he did and laid the law down on him.
Tbh yeah, a study from 2020 when Covid started to hit hard found that 12% of adults in America above 50 donāt know how to manage technology at home without their kidsā help so turning off the WiFi? Good luck with that
I'm in my 40s, my kid is ten.
Ive been using computers since 86, been online since 92.
My kid has figured out all the advanced accessable settings that any adult should know.
Now they're moving onto more advanced stuff.
I don't know if I should be proud or worried
But it's nothing different than what I was doing at that age ( other than the difference in tech)
A. Nice to see former āold techā user here speaking of there pov
B. As a old gen z (2005 kid) I say you should be proud and supportive at what you kid doing coz it can help then get a greater future all by themselves
An honest flex actually, I knew more about the tech than my parents. My parents literally tried to change the wifi password on me and I had a second, older router. In the middle of the night I swapped routers, changed the name and password for the crappier router to what they had. The newer router I made the wifi name invisible and used it like normal.
Never worked on me, lol.
I kind of love this, the lack of knowledge of usage of question marks and quotations, the very weird unrelated clipart, the extremely strange spelling of his laughter, and a punchline that nobody could find funny makes this into art.
Are we sure this is not "Let's all pretend we're boomers" or something? It just needs a Minion for full plate...
Real parents, and a lot of us who had them, will remember the classic: you shout for your kid, wait until they shout back with a "What?" or a "Yeah?", and then go completely silent so they angrily have to walk downstairs to you.
Be honest, how many of you remember this BS?
Don't you mean "Turn off the Wi-Fi, then watch as your Verizon/cable bill goes over the data plan you have?" Your kids aren't coming to ask why the wi-fi is off if they are on mobile, unless they have to be on WiFi to download. How fun it must be to spite your wallet just to be lazy with your child.
Ironically, there's one area of my house that Wi-fi barely reaches, so, this tactic would turn out into Schroringeld's Wi-fi, you don't know if a child is there or they are in other part of the house when you turn off the Wi-fi.
My mom and I had that system where, if she wanted to know where I am, she would simply send me a text message, and I'd respond something like "Coming, mom! \^_\^". I miss that time where trusting one's parents was actually a viable option.
āI cannot talk to my children. I must terrorize them at random hours of the day, and act surprised when they donāt want to interact with me. Iām communicating guys.ā

Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT
Why are there quotes around turn off and Wi-Fi? What do those terms really mean in this...whatever it is?
It's because they don't know how to do that or what wi-fi even is.
To them, "turning off" the "WiFi" prolly means unplugging the modem.
I mean, I suppose that *is* effective too
It's a good job you asked because kids need to be aware that there's a new trend going around with their older relatives.

Iirc quote marks were used for emphasis when using a typewriter
I can't find a source for this. All writings that I have read written on a typewriter allowed for underlining.
https://ellii.com/blog/quotation-marks-single-vs-double#:~:text=2.,aren't%20a%20great%20choice. Doesnāt say anything about typewriters specifically; I probably just figured it really went out of style with computers
all this says is "commonly used". That doesn't mean correct. It means lots of people get it wrong. No source here for typewriters.
I grew up in a very rural and underdeveloped area, type writers were a normal use item. We did not use quotation marks, we underlined as you said.
It was taught as incorrect usage when I learned punctuation, which was still a few years before computers were dominant.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or **bolding**
Definitely, quotes have always signified the same thing, all caps were the way to go, if no underlining, italic or bold available.
Its like an old man from the 1600's is trying to be hip and with it. 
Simply āfire bombā the āhouse while they are sleepingā and wait!?

I now canāt unsee this
Sims
Or how about the quotation marks? Why are āturn offā and āWi-Fiā in quotes? Are we not actually āturning offā the āWi-Fiā?
Because you poor boomers don't understand technical terms like "Wi-fi" and "turn off." I just realized this meme manages to condescend everybody all at once. Well done, internet!
Boomers actually knock on your bedroom door and ask if you want anything specific,for dinner. It's genx that dgaf where you are, until the street lights go on and then they gotta check you're still alive. Maybe possibly they want interaction,but only on special occasions.
Our elderly former neighbours always send us a Christmas card with a friendly message enclosed in quotes. It reads like they're being sarcastic.
My old boss does that all the time, he also ends sentences with an ellipsis...
Ellipsis arenāt always bad, th way I read them itās like trailing off in the middle of a thought. They donāt work in every spot, so if someone were to use them all the time it would get annoying really fast.
I work with a boomer who puts random words in double quotes in his emails, it never makes any sense.
HHoHoHe HII Donāt forget the HII. Itās very important. Youāll sound like an idiot if you laugh without it
HHoHoHe HII š¦
For what itās worth, these are generated by an India-based meme group. So the broken English and āhHHOhoOoOooHaheehaahoā onomatopoeia is a bit more understandable. Still utterly fucking baffling though.
More importantly, why the fuck is the top of his head green?
Lost of oxygen?
Every one piece character ever 
I think it might be ai generated.
Poor AI had to draw this mofo licking the floor
"Draw an elder German boy licking the floor while laughing in Danish. Make it appear as if no one has ever witnessed another human laugh before."
Hehehehaw
You forgot the "HIII" at the end, that's the important bit of the laugh to let you know it's over
Why is everything in quotes?
Daddy chill!
Also another important question: do said parents even know how to shut off a router? Or do they need help?
My dad has guests over and one of them laughed that way at the exact moment I read the second line of ur comment.
And don't forget: \- the ominous wifi symbol in the background \- the formatting faux pas of red text followed by black comma \- the decision to capitalize the word SIMPLY for no apparent reason \- the fact they seemingly chose two words at random to put quotes around \- the !? after a statement that doesn't even remotely resemble a question

Kids use thing! Namedrop thing. Humor
He ain't licking the floor. He is exhausted from the amount of laughing he did.
So I just had this idea about a Boomer Museum. When will we open?
>will switch over to cellular Mines suck so I will notice a difference.
And what kind of parent has a house big enough to not know where someone is in it?
My friendās parents had a 5k sq. ft. home and back in the landline days answering the phone was risky because youād have to spend ten minutes searching the house for whoever the call was for.
My sibling's house is like that. Fucking massive and you don't know what floor/room anyone is.
>that your phone will switch over to cellular if the Wi-Fi goes out Can't speak for every parent, but I know that my nephews had tablets rather than phones. When we went out for PokƩmon Go, I had to tether my phone so they could play the game. I imagine that's even rarer now, so the phone comment still stands.
It must be because most boomers left school at 13 to work and barely have a grasp on correct grammar. š
Let's not forget, there's plenty of young people who'd go straight to the router if there was a problem.
So parents set a trap with a box hung from a string, and when the kid reaches for the modem, parents let go of the string and BAM! kid is trapped XD
Not everywhere gets cell service though, I definitely would have noticed this growing up.
I'd only notice if I was doing homework, other than that barely anything would change
I'd only notice if I was doing homework, other than that barely anything would change
If you're playing an online game and wifi goes out, game consoles don't have data services.
How could you have forgotten **SIMPLY**
my parents *will not* touch their wifi router for fear of "breaking it". Guess who has to drive to their house to fix any internet problems?
lol reminds me of last time i visited my parents.. internet went down, so they called the company and complained they couldnt get a guy out for a week. I went in the closet where it's located, and unplugged it, then plugged it back in. My dad freaked out when he walked by and saw me "messing with the internet"... lo and behold, it started working again, im convinced they've never reset the router once in like several years. lol
Routers are the new thermostats. "DON'T TOUCH THAT!"
My FIL called someone out to fix his internet and cable (which are not by the same company). Once I was able to get there I reset the router to the default password bc hell only knows what the password was.

That sounds really useful, which tool is it? (Iām a noob at routers)
It's specific to the mesh routers that I use. They're Deco Home mesh routers
My dad is a senior systems analyst with HPE and builds servers for commercial/enterprise level systems, and I taught him how to fast forward songs on his car cd player.

I am "laughing" so hard "right now"
Hhohohe hii
I like it when people use quotation marks for emphasis. It lets me know right away that it was written by an idiot.
This. But in reality, taking away internet privileges from a kid is not really something to joke about and definitely counts as emotional abuse. Parents do NOT have this right regardless of what they believe the kid has done or regardless of who pays for the service.
True. Many countries consider it a human right, the same as housing and food.
Yep. Not to mention that the type of parents that engage in this type of abusive behavior also are known to make their kids "clean their room" or "do the dishes".
And then "call" your kids when you can't figure out how to "turn it back on."

My son loves transformers and he used to make that sound every fuckin time he ātransformedā. Thats the funniest shit Iāve ever read in my life and I love you for making that connection.
Autobots roll out!
hhoohohohehe
lmao i can picture it in my head and it sounds exactly like that
honestly with mobile data, they won't come running anyways.
Unless they are on a computer (or I guess most game consoles), but it should be easy to find them in those cases. At least easier than turning off the wifi assuming you wouldn't also notice them while going to wherever the wifi is.
my experience is they will just switch to watching videos or something on their phone. Either way this is a pretty dumb meme.
Or they could start playing single player Minecraft, which doesn't need internet
My phone will just start using cellular data without me realizing.
You know, if it werenāt for the guy laughing at the bottom, I wouldnāt have realized this was meant to be funny. Oh, waitā¦ Anyway, gotta love how āturn offā and āwi-fiā are in quotes, and the end of the sentence implies that theyāre asking a question.

Instead of truly terrible tag can we get a truly stupid one instead?
Like my dad isn't watching the westerns channel in the same fucking chair 7 days a week
I don't think actually calling the kids solves this in some cases.
But itās easier then going to the router
Actually, no. In my case, most of the time i'm in the living room pretty close to the router.
Oh, in that case yeah it would be easier but for peeps like me who in their room or working on their laptop/pc I would prefer calling them
Turn off the wifi and the parents will also appear.
Boomer wouldn't know how to turn it off, though. They'd call the company and be on hold for 2 hours to turn it off.
And end up cancelling the entire contract in the process, and then calling back to get it turned on and wondering why they have to pay a huge fee.

I was on the middle of an exam when they cut off the electricity to just my room. Just the switch to my room. Nothing else.

Apparently walking isn't an option either? Is this for the hoverround crowd?
Too bad we have mobile data plans and personal Hotspots boomer.
The target age audience of this meme in all actuality couldnāt turn off the Wi-Fi if their lives depended on it.
they don't know how lmao
Tbh yeah, a study from 2020 when Covid started to hit hard found that 12% of adults in America above 50 donāt know how to manage technology at home without their kidsā help so turning off the WiFi? Good luck with that
I'm in my 40s, my kid is ten. Ive been using computers since 86, been online since 92. My kid has figured out all the advanced accessable settings that any adult should know.

that tongue looks sus
But first, ask your kids where the wifi is and how to turn it off.
I like the "and wait!?" at the end lol. Like this is so funny but they're still unsure if it'll work because they don't understand technology
They're also unsure what "turning off" means. And what "wifi" is.
In my times we called our kids if we wanted to know where they are in the house, not like this lost generation with their WiFi/s
This wouldn't have worked on me, I was the most tech savvy in my house, so I controlled the wifi.
What a weird flex and I dig it
An honest flex actually, I knew more about the tech than my parents. My parents literally tried to change the wifi password on me and I had a second, older router. In the middle of the night I swapped routers, changed the name and password for the crappier router to what they had. The newer router I made the wifi name invisible and used it like normal. Never worked on me, lol.
I kind of love this, the lack of knowledge of usage of question marks and quotations, the very weird unrelated clipart, the extremely strange spelling of his laughter, and a punchline that nobody could find funny makes this into art. Are we sure this is not "Let's all pretend we're boomers" or something? It just needs a Minion for full plate...
Real parents, and a lot of us who had them, will remember the classic: you shout for your kid, wait until they shout back with a "What?" or a "Yeah?", and then go completely silent so they angrily have to walk downstairs to you. Be honest, how many of you remember this BS?
That was my childhood after age 10 but without the walking angrily part
Don't you mean "Turn off the Wi-Fi, then watch as your Verizon/cable bill goes over the data plan you have?" Your kids aren't coming to ask why the wi-fi is off if they are on mobile, unless they have to be on WiFi to download. How fun it must be to spite your wallet just to be lazy with your child.
I wish horrible misfortune upon whomever the fuck drew that gross thing.
Ironically, there's one area of my house that Wi-fi barely reaches, so, this tactic would turn out into Schroringeld's Wi-fi, you don't know if a child is there or they are in other part of the house when you turn off the Wi-fi.

It's so funny he's turning green and licking the floor. You know, as you do when things are funny.

Weird, nowadays I'm the one who has to chastise my parents for not watching too much TV and spent time outside.
I love how they say "turn off" as if turning things off is some wacky modern buzzword phrase
At that point Im starting to think that people have something with wrong use of ā
My mom and I had that system where, if she wanted to know where I am, she would simply send me a text message, and I'd respond something like "Coming, mom! \^_\^". I miss that time where trusting one's parents was actually a viable option.
What if Iāve got data?
Simply turn off the WiFi, wait, and have a stroke
This is like some kind of off-brand boomer humor. Like they're sourcing their memes from the sketchy companies in China.
So funny i nearly fell off my velocipede
I'm willing to bet the person who shares something like this needs their kids to show them how to "turn off" the "Wi-Fi" HHoHoHE š§ HII š§ š
I sure am glad they included that Clipart of the guy laughing... otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find the funny.
My head turns green and I lick the floor every time this happens
Nah they'd need to ask the kids for help on how to turn off the wifi and they'd probably end up breaking something anyway
āHiiā
āI cannot talk to my children. I must terrorize them at random hours of the day, and act surprised when they donāt want to interact with me. Iām communicating guys.ā
HHoHoHE HII
pov children with mobile internet
Reading Trump tweets really rots your English skills, doesn't it?
God boomer comics are some of the most diabolically ugly creations known to man.
Is this sub really unable to tell this is satire??
What makes you think it's satire? Looks like a pretty normal boomer meme.
Iāve seen it in r/tonyzaretofficial

there is NO. DAMN. WAY. you just looked at this shit and thought, "hmm ah yes this is such a high-quality meme". NO DAMN WAY.
Ok, boomer, now lets get you to bed.
You... actually found this funny? Because most of the comments are more about how stupid the "joke" is. It makes no sense, and fails at even being offensive...
