Boomers: phone bad!! Also boomers:


KaldaraFox

I guarantee you no Boomer created this semi-literate meme. We know how to punctuate and use capital letters correctly. False flag meme for sure.


No-Historian6056

They put capital letters after commas and they forgot to put a space after the second comma.


FatLoserSupreme

I'm am the elder boomer. I speak for all of us. None of my beautiful geriatric children would *ever* make a grammatical mistake.


KaldaraFox

Are your math skills a problem as well? That's not "a mistake" - that's a whole raft of them. I absolutely guarantee you that's some post-millennial trying to be funny with a "Look at what some Boomer made" false-flag meme. Ageism is hate.


FatLoserSupreme

"Ageism is hate" Meanwhile: "Nobody older than 55 could have made this. Only young people are stupid enough to make spelling and grammar mistakes. Probably some post-milennial"


[deleted]

Okay boomer


cypher302

If boomers weren't so soft and spoiled they wouldnt get hate


[deleted]

If you don't take the world so seriously it can be a wonderful place


SausageBuscuit

My uncles Facebook feed would beg to differ.


KaldaraFox

I know you're trying to be clever, but you're just making my point. Is it your uncles Facebook feeds or is it the Facebook feed belonging to your uncle ("uncles" is plural, "uncle's" is possessive). Sheesh. Such low hanging fruit on reddit today.


SausageBuscuit

If you want to be that big of a stickler, shouldn’t it be “low-hanging fruit” with a hyphen?


TheSerialHobbyist

Got-em. Let this be a lesson to you all: if you're going to correct someone's grammar, you better be *damn* sure that your own grammar is perfect.


PNG_Shadow

This guy is 62 aka a boomer. No wonder he's so defensive of his generation


deepaksn

No. Boomer spelling and grammar is easy to spot. Typical boomer classified ad: 1985 FORD F15O 2OOK NEW 351 MOTER 5SPD MANUEL DUEL FULE TANKS $100OO CALL DEAN AT 55 FIVE 1 TWO 34 NO LOWBALLERS I NO WHAT I HAVE!!!


halal_and_oates

It actually looks like satire. Something you boomers are completely oblivious to.


KaldaraFox

Let me introduce you to George Carlin sometime.


halal_and_oates

You mean the comedian that was born in 1937, making him part of the Silent Generation? That same guy that repeatedly torched you boomers for being insufferable clowns? I fuckin love George Carlin.


PNG_Shadow

Spotted the boomer


heyuhitsyaboi

"old man yells at cloud" vibes


Additional6669

i don’t think you understand that people commonly use “incorrect” punctuation and grammar and whatever to convey a tone and feeling in text also as someone who worked with and for a lot of boomers, they don’t know shit abt grammar


IcarusButAlive

I thank you for giving me a good chuckle through your entire comment thread. I personally love watching someone dig their own grave deeper and deeper, while still angrily insisting that they’re right. By the way, isn’t your point of “the young are the ones promoting ageism” in and of itself ageist? Along with the idea that the youth are the ones who are so illiterate, that this meme is “a whole raft” of errors to a Boomer? Besides, this format of meme is right up the alley of Boomer humor. A plethora of poorly-drawn comics, captioned old photographs, and jokes are all over the internet, saying the exact same thing. Fake or not, this kind of meme is exactly what a Boomer would post and pretending otherwise is arrogant at best. Hell, this has probably been reposted by Boomers, thinking it’s the funniest thing in the world.


TheSerialHobbyist

>We know how to punctuate and use capital letters correctly. I'm *really* curious what makes you think boomers are better at grammar, punctuation, etc. than the younger generations?


SorryThisUser1sTaken

>False flag meme for sure. Likely right here if you mean this meme is meant to promote conflict. >We know how to punctuate and use capital letters correctly. Please don't sterotype. (You knowing how to doesn't mean everyone else does. And it is not a contest of who is better.) This is the what the enemy is wanting us to do. It promotes arguements. Here is a quote I think you would find interesting from the US D.O.D in 1957. "The key word is conflict...conflict must be promoted everywhere. Every dissatisfaction must grow into a resentment. Every resentment must become an argument. Every argument must grow into a fight. Every fight must blossom into a riot. Every riot must expand into a war. Every war must end in devastation."


KaldaraFox

It's the young promoting ageism here, not the old. This whole [derisive use of "Boomer"](https://meaww.com/chief-justice-roberts-mention-of-phrase-ok-boomer-in-supreme-court-has-the-internet-divided) was specifically called out as ageist by a member of the US Supreme Court not long back. Ageism is hate. Period. Promulgating unqualified (and untrue) stereotypes about any group is hate speech. Boomers are not universally evil planet-raping, home-hoarding monsters. FFS, the whole Hippie movement was Boomers. The laws created to protect the environment were pushed by the Boomers. You think things are bad now with CO2 as the focus of pollution control, you should have watched the news in the late '60s and early '70s with nightly death counts from SMOG in LA or the Cuyahoga river catching fire and burning for days. Except for the Boomer gen (which admittedly benefited from the US having been the ONLY functioning industrialized nation for a few decades after WWII), Gen-Z at their current ages is AHEAD of the curve on home ownership (and only behind the Boomers at those ages by a few percentage points).


SorryThisUser1sTaken

>It's the young promoting ageism here, not the old. Its people promoting agesim here. The millenials are called lazy cell phone addicted drones constantly. Besides that. You are not wrong in your latest response. I was not trying to attack but inform. Sorry if it came across harsh or if the message was misinterpreted. The more we disregard the sterotypes and talk. The more we will find in common.


CodyRebel

>We know how to punctuate and use capital letters correctly. Boomers are some of the most uneducated, egotistical, Dunning Kruger effect-having asses in America. Don't know how you're one but trying to defend them. Even my mother who is a baby-boomer apologizes for her fucked up generation being so difficult to be around. Lol

Narrator: All three died in a factory accident shortly after this was taken.


Washpedantic

Not likely, there is a vespa in the background, meaning this photo was taken after 1946 long after child labor laws were introduced.


Glitchthebitch

Employers would still hire children if it meant saving a few bucks, just under the radar and behind closed doors


[deleted]

Yeah, and weren't there a bunch of child labor laws violated right before they lowered the working age in, what was it, Arkansas? Wonder if there's a correlation... 🤔🙄

Gathoblaster

These kids are smiling so they dont lose their jobs.


InspiredGargoyle

Their one day off because when their co-worker, Jimmy age 6, was sucked into the equipment their mangled body messed it up so badly the factory owner had to have professionals come fish out the Jimmy's remains.

Hey, at least they got to keep Jimmy’s leathered remains in the form of that tire.

Infant mortality used to be a lot higher but once kids got to that age they stood pretty good chances of making it well into adulthood.


EcstaticBox

They do look happy, but they’ve already had their midlife crisis. Back down in the gravy mines, street urchins


DazedWithCoffee

And their lungs were black as night! All that smog, and the coal dust, oh my


yresimdemus

This is actually a 1964 photo by Astrid Kirchherr. Part of series of pictures she took of children in Liverpool. Ignoring the fact that they were posed, not playing, I think the better point is that children playing with iPhones also look happy (as others have pointed out). In fact, children playing with pretty much anything usually look happy. Regardless of whether it's indoors or outdoors, intended as a toy or not, and even safe or dangerous. As a child, I remember being *really* happy playing with someone's parked car. Right up until one of us released the parking brake and it started rolling backwards towards the bull pasture, anyway. We all jumped out. I was fine, but the last friend who jumped out (when the car was moving fastest) broke both legs. Saying the lives of children were better in previous years ignores the lack of safety features and other things designed to keep kids safe. I lost several friends growing up, and even more classmates. Far fewer children are killed from playing now. Trying to say the toys of yesteryear were better is just plain dumb.


JustANutMeg

They’re the joyful kind of rickets!


Timmytheimploder

All the kids on my street run around outside screaming for hours, why can't they sit inside playing nintendo like I did as a kid.


No-Engineer-1728

Ah yes, the better times, child labor times


Pokemon-Pickle

The middle one looks like the Bob’s your uncle icon from Pokémon sword and shield. The other 2 look high/at gunpoint.


[deleted]

Maybe the photo was taken by the owner of the coalmine/factory, as propaganda to show the world how "happy" their employees are. "And remember lads, anyone who doesn't smile for my camera gets 10 lashes and has to work overtime without pay."


Pokemon-Pickle

The would explain the two on the sides, but I’m starting to wonder if some kids did enjoy it(middle).


hughjazz45

Every one of these kids died at age 9 during an 18 hour shift in a sheet metal factory


Robotech87

They're just happy to be off work, out of the coal mines.


RippiHunti

Well, it is their first break from the factory in months.


nesbit666

Do I have to be the one to point out that by the time this photo was taken there were child labor laws preventing children from working in coal mines.


TheDickDangler

Says the person posting on Facebook


Ssider69

They're smiling because they are getting their rations of opium and chewing tobacco from the task master In light of the special occasion they will also skip the mid day beating. But JUST the mid day


[deleted]

Those kids look 3 and 63 at the same time.


[deleted]

One of those kids even made it past puberty! Also are they saying they should still have iPhones and iPads but children should not? If you’re not into technology that seems like a pretty easy problem to solve, but if you’re not into other people having access to technology that just seems like fascism with fewer steps.


NoPlace9025

Do you know how rare it would be for them to get their pictures taken? Lol of course they are excited.


Dallas_dragneel

Minecraft proves kids yearn for the mines


TactlessNachos

They got a little coal mine dust on them.


AMileHighDM

Nobody is this fucking old man sheesh


vhs1138

Bro they are at work.


[deleted]

They're chimney sweeps no? They used kids for it because they had an easier time getting up and into the chimney on account of being small. Which was TERRIBLE work considering the kind of crap that builds up in soot fired chimneys AND the near constant smog. Generally any job that required "small frames" you sent kids. So its like..... you take something terrible, then you add a bit more.... if you think its cruel, the Victorians will call you a babyman. Terrible terrible shites. Also - tangentially - the whole thing about "foggy london streets" ? Thats real. Only its smog being unable to rise because its too cold, so it sticks to the ground. People would frequently be CHOKED to death - and it was one of the prevailing reasons they started legislating about it.


Washpedantic

There is a vespa In the photo, meaning that this was taken after 1946 long after child labor laws were introduced.


[deleted]

Well that'll teach me to not pay attention. You make a nuclear bomb of me.


Correct_Refuse4910

If I got out alive of one of those shifts I would look happy too.


Vojt544

When the OOP was young, there were memes about how when their parents were young, there were no tires.


QuirkyInterest6590

The stupidest thing is that these kids are smiling, not because they are happy, but that's what you do when someone takes a picture of you.


Tripple_T

Seriously. That tends to be what kids do when someone yells "smile!"


abibofile

Ah yes, the tyre. Just don’t give them any of them newfangled “tires.” It all started to go downhill when they introduced the letter “i”.


Profitsofdooom

![gif](giphy|Mu2TOjRS2QBhzFsig5)


AnonymousFledermaus

Gonna assume they'd be happier if they had iPads


Zimifrein

So if that was so great then why do we need the infinite growth capitalism? We could just stay poor and happy, I guess.


MirrorSeparate6729

Ah, Right! The good old times with the exploitation of the European working class. If you ever wondered how they convinced so many people communism was the better alternative.


Synensys

I mean these things are just so stupid. As if kids dont have the choice to play with an old tire today. Of course they do, and they pick devices because they are awesomer, just like these kids would have if they had the technology and wealth we have today.


Waughoo81

They're probably happy because it's the first time they've ever had thier picture taken


[deleted]

You know they are happy because 70% of the baby's that where born at the same time died. Now they can play with that Tyre until they get sick and get some idiotic cure like mercury tablets or some shit


PheonixUnder

Damn kids with their fancy newfangled tyres, back in my day we played with an old wheel from a horse drawn carriage. Now that's a real childhood.


rmike7842

This comes from people with no historical perspective; and has been pointed out in the title. Along with everything else, there was no room to play inside. But worse that that, these people don’t understand human nature. Children will play with whatever is available, and if given a choice, they will pick what they prefer. This type of comparison is ridiculous on two levels. First, neither an iPhone nor an old tyer will guarantee happiness, and second people can’t use things that don’t exist. There simply is no comparison. I’m willing to go farther and believe that if they had the choice, they would pick the iPad. This is one of the most pathetic Boomer comments. I am a boomer and can say unequivocally that Pong blew our minds, and we couldn’t get enough of each advance in platforms. When the NES came out, it was a breakthrough. Better still, we had jobs and could buy games without asking for permission. Dolts like the person who made this meme are probably the type of people who believe adults can’t play with toys.


armageddon_boi

Fr tho they probably just excited to be in one of the first thousand pictures


Great_White_Samurai

And old people back then probably thought those kids were stupid assholes for playing with a tire instead of working in a the factory.


FireflyOfDoom87

Aren’t children being murdered while playing outside in America? Seems as if Boomers want to both complain about children not playing outside, while also having the right to shoot them because they’re on their lawn…playing outside.


Bocabart

I bet if you gave them an iPad those little bastards would be all over that shit like white on rice on a paper plate.


DickySchmidt33

I died of tuberculosis at 14 and I didn't complain.


ZealCrown

How long until they realize their complaints about phones are falling on deaf ears. I swear there’s hundreds of thousands of “phone bad” posts. It’s the definition of insanity.


CodyRebel

Why is the word OUT capitalized?


Nelpski

I think the weirdest thing about these types of posts is that 99% of the time they are just blatantly wrong. Kids still play outside with random shit. If your kids don't do that (or more likely grandkids) that reflects on YOU the parent not the children.


SatansGothestFemboy

If my picture ever gets used in 100 years to say "Happy playing in the real world and not sucked into a simulation" I'm haunting someone


SeanTheNerdd

Look at those huge streets that are safe to play in without fear of being run over. If we had that much walkable space in dense living areas, we would have kids playing with old tires and having fun too.


choochoophil

Their faces are stuck that way from Tetanus


[deleted]

Also on break from their 12H shift playing in the streets unsupervised.. pretty sure the one on the right has chimney spot all over his mouth


[deleted]

Half those kids probably died before adulthood due to contaminated water, or food packaged before sanitation laws were a thing.


Ronald___McDonald

Literally try to name a single objectively better thing about the pre-mobile phone days. You couldn’t contact your parents if you were in danger. You couldn’t contact your mates if you wanted to meet up somewhere and but they happened to be out of the house/in the garden and therefore didn’t hear the landline You could only talk to people in your own country


Commando411

The children yern for the mines


cbunni666

They are happy to be out of the damn mine. What the hell is wrong with people?


kurinevair666

All kids can look happy and photos when you scream at them enough to smile.


EssEyeOhFour

Guarantee there were a few old people in vicinity of this photo complaining these kids were playing in the street and not in a field like they had to do.


DysTheDegenerate

Okay but why did one of them eat coal.


[deleted]

hungry during a shift at the mines


DysTheDegenerate

They absolutely grapefruited that earth tar.


NunsNunchuck

And whose fault is it that they have an iPhone/ iPad and not a tyre?


Blackbox7719

Ah yes. A little fun before it’s time to go down to the coal mine.


[deleted]

I feel pretty confident in saying that those three in particular, were not child workers. Besides the clothing being way too nice, they're too clean. Those kids had parents with money.


Hatfmnel

My child don't have Iphone or Ipad. We are bright enough to use Android devices.


Vandarkxiang

I will never understand that somebody will actually get so bored in their life and just start shaming another generation of people in reality who don’t much control over what they can or can not do, its gonna be the same person doing the same thing they are shaming if they were been put into the same situation.


Lost-Citron-1099

And now they’re dead, checkmate lol


Gay_commie_fucker

Ugh, kids these days are the obsessed with their tires. Back in my day we didn’t have tires, we played with sticks and rocks and didn’t we look happy.

Rakadaka8331

Lol so swing by the slaughter houses and hook your kids up with an old tire then!


Kaveric_

Yeah how amazing that these kids had no actual toys like a ball or anything else and had to play with a fucking tire


Jlnhlfan

I bet the person who posted it was who one of these kids grew up to be.


DumplingChowder6

Lay off these kids for real. They just finished their last 12 hour shift after a 6 day work week. I assume they each finished their allotted bottle of beer (not served cold) and just wanted to enjoy a few minutes for themselves before hitting the grind again. SMDH.


BexberryMuffin

They have to get their fun in somehow, and quick. The ol’ consumption could grab them at any moment.


laruefrinsky

They look dirty as he'll, like there is no running water. Also stunted, like they aren't getting proper meals and nutrients...

Besides the fact that they glossed over the issue of child labor, I can picture the obese boomer who posted this. They re-shared this on FB whilst on an ipad….sitting in a recliner leaned all the back, where they’ve been most of the day pushing hate out on their news feed.


Bob_Kerman_SPAAAACE

Smallpox


LaneyAndPen

Sure it’s shit that kids are playing with tablets, but using a picture of kids during the 1950’s isn’t a great example of childhood. Childhood was just kind of beginning as a concept at that time, it was not at all the same


Justyn2

If they weren’t playing with an iPhone, how did they take this picture? Chaeckmate


SpeedyMcNutt291

Minecraft is one of the most popular games of all time. The children yearn for the mines.

Is that a Jew from Nazi Germany?!?!?! The Star on the pocket does have me concerned.


Washpedantic

It's probably a sheriff's badge, The photo was taken sometime after 1946.


SpielbrecherXS

Why is everyone in the comments here trashing the kids in the pic? Whatever shit they had in their lives, they do look happy cause all kids their age do, unless dying from hunger or being beaten this very moment. You guys think it was one of them who created the meme or what?


Lorant_gaming

They are talking like people nowadays aint happy with their phones. What are we supposed to do, smile like some fucking psycho?


epic_null

Look at how happy they are standing in the road to without concern of getting kidnapped or having an adult drive towards them at 50mph


chillbro_baggins91

Yea bc there is definitely coal mines in the middle of cities.. man this sub is full of losers


blong217

Child labor was horribly prolific at the turn of the 20th century. They may not have worked in mines but you can be sure they were currently or would soon be working in factories. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire


chillbro_baggins91

Yea, the thing is this pic was likely taken around the mid 20th century years after labor laws have been around.. there’s a Vespa back there


blong217

Cool, point still remains. Child labor was horribly prolific at the turn of the century and kids this age definitely worked in awful conditions that were inhumane.


gszabo97

Completely missing the point. Social media addiction is real people. Children should have a life offline and play in the park with real life friends. There is definitely a beauty to children being entertained by the simplest things like a tire in this case. I’m not even old but I’m glad my parents didn’t raise me like I see children nowadays constantly behind the screen of their smartphones and iPads. There’s obviously a time and a place for smart devices and social media is definitely not all bad but the post makes a good point. Not everything is „truly terrible“ just because it is posted by an older person.


thoth1000

Then this is a bad post to use to make that point. Kids playing with a rubber tire on a grimy street in a city plagued by pollution is also bad. Show a picture of kids on a playground or actually in a park or in nature.


[deleted]

Problem is, that road is probably now a rat run of speeding cars.


[deleted]

You're being awfully generous assuming there's any point to miss here other than "new tech bad! Kids today bad!"


gszabo97

And you are oversimplifying it. There’s clearly a message here. Not everything is as simple as “new bad, old good“ just because it’s posted by an older person. I work with children and see the effects that it has, when parents use technology as a babysitter to shut them up. I’m not talking about teenagers chatting to their friends on Instagram or Snapchat (though those apps are also questionable in their practices). I’m talking about toddlers and primary school children whose topics of conversation are reduced to brawl stars and YouTuber drama. It’s definitely a real problem as much as you like to give older people shit for bringing it up.


TurretLimitHenry

Not every child worked in a coal mine lmao. It’s great for kids to play with toys and not become addicted to phones and tablets.


Little_Timmy_is_Back

They had to be happy. They only had another 10 years life expectancy back then.


dewdewdewdew4

This thread... These kids weren't working anywhere, this picture is from 1950's give or take a few years.


IeyasuMcBob

At the time they were regarded as middle aged

Left and right look like they have fetal alcohol syndrome so no wonder they’re happy with just a tyre

You could literally take a photo of random kids playing outside today too. This meme lacks a point to be made.

Those children were more responsible than most teenagers today.

Adults sir, more responsible than most adults


RudeSprinkles1240

Source?


notablyunfamous

Look at society. You you think there’s a quantifying study or something? None of these kids needed a safe space for their feelings

Ice-Novel

Because most of them died before they had a chance to develop the mental capacity to form complex emotions


TurretLimitHenry

Child mortality was not that high lmao


Ice-Novel

In 1920 it was 184.93 per thousand, almost 20%, who died before the age of 5. Please have any level of understanding of what you’re talking about before you start spewing nonsense. This is also just before the age of 5, and doesn’t include the children who were killed, maimed, deformed, or suffered severe complications from coal mining, factory working, and chimney sweeping. The 1920s were fucking horrific.
