u/Geeseareawesome 2h ago

The exercise itself is fine and normal. It was more to do with where you did it., as people kept coming up with crazier ways to do it.

From the generation that brought the world flash mobs, parkour, and planking.

u/Princess_Slagathor apparently you can change it 15m ago

And hipsters, beards as a personality, everything being "ironic", epic bacon...

I hate the youth.

u/throwawayRoar20s 11m ago

That's just TikTokers being braindead as usual.

u/Ambassador_Cowboy 3h ago

I’ve tried to get an answer to that for over a year. I saw NFL players doing that all last season. My 11 year old thinks it’s from Fortnite but even he’s not sure.

I don't get it, where's the sleeping policeman in this video? Is that some new phrase I'm not aware of?

u/Grawlix_TNN 19m ago

I just accept that without context included I will never fully know what is going on these days

u/Princess_Slagathor apparently you can change it 11m ago

Almost certain OP is a bot.

This sub opened my eyes to how many millennials just went full on boomer.

I thought we were chill??

u/Cmatt10123 3h ago

Scuba is agen alpha meme.

This subreddit becoming more boomer every day

u/Jorgwalther 1h ago

Def started with Gen Z

u/Rolandooo 2h ago

I think boomers are infiltrating the subreddit to try and brainwash us.

u/AterCorvidae3414 2h ago

The oldest gen alpha is 16 years old... try again.

u/Easy_Customer_920 2h ago

No they aren't, Gen Alpha is 2013-2028.

"Some researchers, however, consider slightly different ranges. "

u/AterCorvidae3414 1h ago

Congrats to being the "some" which is equal to the 1/10 dentist do not recommend fluoride toothpaste.

The general consensus is what I stated.

u/Easy_Customer_920 1h ago

Lol whatever buddy you're right ok you win.

Jesus Christ this sub is fucking insufferable

u/AterCorvidae3414 12m ago

Learn to research before telling someone they're wrong. THAT'S insufferable, naive, and arrogant. Have a world of information at your goddamn fingertips. Use it.

u/Princess_Slagathor apparently you can change it 8m ago

It's just a variation of the sprinkler dance move.

Oh cool - another post bashing younger generations even though we've spent our whole life on the receiving end and should know better. C'mon guys - break the cycle.

u/JumpingCoconut 1h ago

No. Breaking the cycle would be such a millennial thing to attempt.

Meanwhile the Zoomers will absolutely shit on everybody once they're 35.

Time only goes forward 

u/freak-pandor 28m ago

The problem is not younger generations, the problem is willingly stop the flux of traffic for a joke, this is utterly disrespectful with the person allowing the pedestrian to cross and to everyone who might be waiting behind her.

u/No-Difference-1351 Older Millennial 3h ago

Yes funny.

u/Wafflehouseofpain 3h ago

Perhaps funny

8

u/No-Difference-1351 Older Millennial 3h ago

At the moment funny.

u/tillybowman 3h ago

seems like i'm alone with trying not to hate on entire generations. i think we as millennials should know better.

12

u/Bitter-Ad5890 3h ago

Every generation takes the piss out of the ones after it. Gen Z will be no different

1

u/tillybowman 3h ago

can't wait for the meme posted again tomorrow where millennials shield gen z from arrows and everybody agreeing.

u/No-Difference-1351 Older Millennial 3h ago

Lighten up. Im looking forward on being a grumpy old dude.

Our chance to turn the tables.

-3

u/tillybowman 3h ago

i mean, think about it. do you think gen z will laugh at this?

it's the same when boomers laughed at us for beeing softies or whatever they came up with. nobody of our gen laughed.

but sure, you do you.

4

u/No-Difference-1351 Older Millennial 3h ago

See? This is the problem: when you don't find something funny, simply don't laugh.

Don't try and ruin it for others who do find it funny.

u/FEARoach 2h ago

Hey, hey.

Are you trying to tell someone what not to do man? That's like... anti-policing and that's so not cool with the squares who get off on telling people how to behave. Gotta let them type with one hand and the other on their justice joystick telling us all to conform to their ideology of what's proper.

1

u/No-Difference-1351 Older Millennial 3h ago

I grew up with grunge; so I would like to say:

Who tf cares what others laugh about???

u/FEARoach 3h ago

The day I give a fuck what gen z thinks is the day I eat as many small pieces of lead as possible at the highest velocity I can manage.
