Millennials in retirement - LemmyWorld

What is this “retirement” you speak of?

Oooh! The period where they put us all out on an ice flow when we become too old to work!

Hah, you have a point.
You think we will still have ice?!
Seriously! Someone’s failing their mental aptitude test!
I always thought the "ice floes" was just figurative, but apparently there actually used to be ice there! TIL~!
What is this “too old to work” you speak of?
This is turning out to be a depressing thread…
A reflection of the state of the world then?
Too old to work under current technology? Don't worry your years on ice will not be in vain as we will awaken you as soon as the technology is available to get you back to work. You got to pay off that cryo stasis debt you didn't ask for after all.
Might just be autocorrect landing on the more commonly-used word but if you’re interested, a floe is a sheet of floating ice. Sounds the same as flow but they are different things.

When the doctor doesn't know anything about slang.
No worries, by then Latin is replaced by Equally Dead Internet Language as a prerequisite to become a doctor.
Ah! the good old cycle of replacing the old with a new thing! Only so we know who is hip like us. Only then can they be doctors like us 🧐 * gumball-sophisticated-laugh.wav *

I call my car big chonk from time to time
As a millennial this made me laugh far to much.

As a millennial… too… me too

I’m sorry, but not sorry

This got me good.
That moment when you laugh so hard you cry
Oh Lord he comin’.
“She’s hallucinating now”

:nods sadly:

“the end is close, I think”

“retirement”
I thought we were just all working until we die to feed the stock market.
That or try taking roy off grid
He doesn’t have a social security card for Roy!!!

Who do we call the enemy? The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free*

Im hoping retirement homes will have lan parties
Yeah Ian’s a fuckin animal, man
Underrated joke
If it happens, you guys are getting pwned
G-maxxBaker: You must have cataracts if you think that was a hack.
Once I’m retired, maybe I can finally finish my backlog of 1000+ games on Steam
Mario and Smash Bros (millenials grew up with those, they’re currently 30-40) will be the new bingo
Quake on LAN for me
Ahh won’t have the reflexes for that… Maybe civ?
Scortched Earth or Worms
I don’t know about that, I’ve had extremely tense wars because both my opponent and I kept trying to make extremely fast plays with camel archers and knights, then awaiting for the other to charge and counter them. Almost worse than AoE2.
I’m 100% confident that once elderly people make up a good chunk of the gaming market, games will be made that accommodate whatever reflexes they have. If enough people with Parkinson’s want to play first person shooters, there’ll be first person shooters that people with Parkinson’s can play
If none of us have the reflexes anymore it could actually be pretty fun lol
