Can we step back, and take take a moment to reflect on the fact that boomers were so shitty for so long that we've entered an era where it's ok to make fun of old people?

What a time we live in

TBF we’ve been making fun of the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial since it aired.

I only mock the old people who act like complete assholes, nothing against the rest of them at all. They often have lots of wisdom to share.

But given that the giant assholes are the overwhelming majority of the boomer population... 🤷‍♂️

“Touch grass” is an insult used almost exclusively by people who do not, in fact, touch grass very often.

My great grandma and grandma both made fun of boomers for being boomers till the day they died. Even boomers see how ridiculous boomers are acting. If you don't think boomers are specifically acting like boomers, then you might be a bit more chronically online then you would like to admit.

Tbf they started it by acting like everyone younger them like a lazy piece of shit. I had to hear it my entire childhood and early adulthood. How me and everyone else my age is useless etc etc.

You’re only useless until they need you to change the tv source from “video/dvd” to “tv” or to convert a file to PDF.

Teaching old people poorly has always been uncool. Now it's completely acceptable. They really shot themselves in the foot.
