Just an observation over the last week in particular.
That is false.zoomers don't know how to live life without it.
Twitter/facebook/Tiktok/Instigram are out of option for me. Saves me energy and time to engage with these people.I've never felt better about not knowing what someone was talking about.
Except in many countries in the world we have a functioning public transportation system, you don’t need a care to go anywhere and the results are the same.That is false.
Zoomers dont have the chance to explore the world, because they have been isolated for most of their lives.
We used to go out alot and come home late. I remember going from village to another village without having a phone.
Now, there are not that many places you can go without a car. The small walk become nonexistance. And if you live in the city, you dont get that many chances to go out. Work, home, work, home, school, work, home all through a car drive. They dont have the chance to go out like we used to do.
Even with functioning public transportation, you can't overcome the crowd density situation.Except in many countries in the world we have a functioning public transportation system, you don’t need a care to go anywhere and the results are the same.
Gen X stays winning because they bridge both eras.We've all lost our minds in one way or another but the zoomers and boomers are particularly effected because boomers mostly only know how to live pre-internet while zoomers don't know how to live life without it.
Id listen to a boomer all day over these zoomers. They don't have a clue.
There was a golden age where it was just memes.Social media has the power to bring out the worst in people.
In other words, the vast majority of them are losers. Get a real job.
All I’ll say is that I’ve observed that Boomers seem to have flipped out because a news story about aging has triggered them beyond belief. We all have aging relatives but at a certain age they have to hand over the keys.What happened/are you referring to specifically OP? I don't really use social media outside of here.
Just Boomers? No.
Every generation who uses social media loses their mind with it.
News and social commentary used to come from TV, Newspapers, journals, magazines etc.
Now you have your local town lunatic spouting their idiocy on social media and the next town over's local lunatic thinks 'this guy talks like me! Let me link in with him!'. Soon enough, every town's lunatics are combined on a platform where the whole countries lunatics are talking and spouting idiocy where it's at the point that because enough nutters are agreeing with each other, it gives them a validity that didnt used to exist with them pre-social media and they think they are right and everyone else is wrong.
Socal media is a disease.
Look at the flat earth nuts. They're gaining followers because they sound convincing and the ignorant lap it up, when in reality they spout complete nonsense. They know the earth is not flat, but they know a good portion of people will believe they're lies, which gives them a degree of power.
The flat earthers would be nowhere if not for nasa being caught faking stuff, and multiple antarctica documentaries faking 24 hour sun.
If the space station is unmanned or derelict floating outhere, well faking it does nothing but arouse suspicion. And the antarctica documentaries should shame on themselves, how lazy you have to be to fake something so simple.
The earth is a sphere, but I can understand people seeing fakery becoming conspiracy theorists.What? Please tell me you're joking.

For example the 24 hour sun videos, same exact cloud pattern and chimney smoke pattern 24 hours apart, at start and end of video. The other one composite with text going behind mountains.
As for nasa fakery the most egregious in my opinion was when they said there was 11 second delay(In the very video the guy on ground says that and astronauts take 11 seconds to respond). I saw the original video and the astronauts were taking 11 seconds to respond. Guess what happened, something funny was said on the ground and one of the astronauts reacted immediately smiling and reacting with no delay, several seconds later his colleague answered the ground's question.
That's one of tons of flubs they've done. Another very prominent one, was that despite the station moving at high speeds through earth orbits, in one of their live q&a's, one of the astronauts flubbed and said some location was just a few miles from where we're talking. Like really a few miles from where we're talking? You're supposed to be rapidly orbiting earth not a few miles near some location on earth.
Just like that microtransaction horse outsold and outprofited a full fledged masterpiece game with tons of hard work behind it, same goes for influencers. Why should they get a real job if with a few videos they can make more in one month than some people make in their entire careers?
You can see how this is also adversely affecting the youth, and their work ethic. Them seeing influencers brag about making mad money doing nothing, while they themselves are told to sweat hard each day for pennies not even a living wage.

Not really, it's more of an ellipse.The earth is a sphere
TBH you can just take one look on how social media and engagement economy destroyed all the ones you listed. Now no matter where you look it's all filler, no substance.News and social commentary used to come from TV, Newspapers, journals, magazines etc.
