sexy_peachIt's up to you to break generational trauma
davelGen-x erasure as usual.
Lydia_KGen-what?
KingJalopy Eh who cares.
funkless_eckpreviously known as gen twitter
Grammaton ClericWhatever š
RubberElectronsGen-x? Is that like an X-men comic book or something?
The greatest trick gen-x ever pulled was convincing the world it didnāt exist.
QuentinCallaghanSomebody called Skibidi toilet āthe Generation Alphaās first cultural contributionā.
NeatoGen alpha is using source film maker? Iām not down with latest machinina tech but that seems to me like millennials using vinyl. Rad.
skulblakaSFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi thatās not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think itās become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.
Was that J.J. McCullough?
Iām a millennial and I donāt understand why anyone from my generation would have a problem with zoomers. Yāall are good people.
I think a lot of the millennial drama is manufactured. The generational drama in general is.
Not that generation gaps donāt exist, but generally weāre pretty tolerant of each other at the younger/lefter end. Even most of the disagreement around Gaza is more fueled by political position than age imo, once you allowed the newcomers to the conflict the time to get up to speed on it. Which did take a little time. Itās kinda complicated.
There are definitely large numbers of people trying to manufacture conflict in pretty much every way they can think of, though. Some bots, some volunteers, probably even some paid people, world is a big place and labor can be cheap. Fortunately Lemmings generally seem to be a harder target.
Iām a millennial. I love my zoomer comrades. Even if I donāt understand their stuff, I still respect their whole thing and the fact that theyāre inheriting a different world with different experiences than what I did, which is really all my generation was ever asking for and never received. I feel more like a significantly older sibling to gen z than a do an entire generational step older. We generally agree on a lot of the same shit. Theyāre paying more attention to current events than I was when I was younger, and unfortunately itās kinda more necessary for them to because we didnāt do a good enough job at that until maybe 5-10 years ago.
Sorry if Iām wrong and Iām the exception rather than the rule. Keep zoominā, zoomers š¤
LilDumpyIdk man, Zoomers got broccoli heads though.
Jk theyāre cool.
ComradeSharkfuckerI grew my broccoli head out and now I have luscious curly locks š
Much better imo
They may have broccoli, but at least we have Celery Man.
I donāt really get the skibidi toilet, but I can appreciate it when someone posts an ai recreation of Micheal Jackson singing it.
KSP AtlasI feel the actual āskibidi toiletā is more of a gen alpha thing, what you see from gen z is mostly just people satirizing it
Objectionistor profiting off of it on many different fronts
iāve seen a couple pretty dumb (and successful!) attempts on roblox lmao
Pandantic [they/them]I teach Gen Alpha and most that reference it do so āironicallyā, and many think itās dumb or overdone at this point.
BaroqueInMindAs a millennial, I do not understand Skibidy Toilet, but will embrace the weird because it is actual art in its purest form and makes people feel differently in almost every possible way when you see it; renaissance painters would have killed to see people respond to their art the way everyone in contemporary times react to this shit.
I honestly think itās kind of funny. Itās just so stupid. Reminds me of early YouTube
The plot though, its got plot!
Skibidy toilet is just part of the modernist version of dada. Iāve (a millennial) always loved dadaism and absurdism as art and my zoomer kids make me so proud showing me their humor.
As another millenial, this thread is the first time Iāve heard of Skibidy Toilet, and Iām wondering if I should bother to look up what it is.
Do or donāt, we just gotta be good to our fellow peeps as the earth keeps spinning. I still havenāt looked it up, and itās fine š
RetrogradeMillennial here, skibidi toilet is, sadly, really amusing and Iā¦ Enjoy it
Trust me, itās like the dumb shit we watched when we discovered the weird internet, just using half-life characters and 3d animation. If youāve ever enjoyed āAll your baseā, you have no right to complain!
Another millenial here. I didnāt know what it was until this thread either. After just now finishing binge-ing through all of the episodes (not that bad as theyāre all shorts), Iām going to recommend watching it.
It IS fucking weird and absurdist (and I donāt care for the music style, so, was near mute). Honestly though, especially for something produced by a teenager, the cinematography and cohesive visual storytelling is really impressive.
I hope they continue to hone their skills and maintain their artistic interest. And, possibly, take their talent to directing.
lelgenioThe circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.
Semi-Hemi-DemigodAs a millennial, the vast majority of zoomers I've interacted with have been cool.
Yeah thatās been my experience as well and I work for a bar. Most of my coworkers in that generation have been easier to get along with, easier to communicate with and donāt visibly panic at a ādead insideā joke. Direct contrast to my last workplace with more millennials/boomers. Ive yet to cop inter-generational shit talking from zoomers so they sure wonāt get it from me. Plus look what they did with memes.
Same, Iām not sure who this meme is really intended for
Iām a millennial and I love you guys, my aim is to be kinder and more helpful to yāall than our predecessors were to us
Gen Xers have always been pretty cool, as long as you donāt expect them to care about much. I get the feeling that the close proximity to the Boomers really took it out of them.
I have a lot of sympathy for them in general and plenty of them are pretty cool, but the product of not caring is that there a lot of selfish asshole xers, I donāt hold it as a rule, but they certainly didnāt try to support or guide us much in my experience
ThenThreeMoreWe did the work so you donāt have to. š
Iām a really young zoomer and most millenials I interacted with were also really nice.
But there were also a few jerks
Life, in a nutshell haha.

I am that dude they were complaining about. They used me as some sort of representative to attack the rest of you with.
I came really close to owning a home one time. It was just outside of this really terrible neighborhood and only cost 20k. This was in 2015. The house was small, but it had a barn, a chicken coop, a big area for horses that the neighbor was using (and I agreed to continue to let them use it if theyād teach my kids to ride the horses). A drive down the hillside led to trash and drugs. Somehow it didnāt extend up the hill yet.
Actually I know why it didnāt. In 2001 the neighborhood below it was flooded. The folks who lived there for years and kept it nice took the fema bucks and rolled out. The houses sold for 4-6k and the people who migrated over from the poorest part of West Virginia didnāt even bother repairing them. They just moved right in.
That killed the property value all around it, which was fine with me.
We were all set to close on the loan when I caught my ex cheating and my whole life caved in. Oh well, such is life.
It kind of stings to think Iād own it right now and a chance like that probably wonāt ever happen again. The problems would have probably spread up that way eventually though and Iād regret moving there. That helps a bit.
Cracks_InTheWallsTake this fist bump, fellow cheating-partner-cost-me-a-house human.
sad fist bump
Sucks donāt it?
I learned a lot about life through all that mess though.
Iād forgive her, sheād do it again. Sheād say she loved me, then sit up in the bed in the middle of the night and say, āI just donāt love you anymore.ā The chaos would start again. Iād go crash with my mom, sheād ask me to come back, then sheād make me leave again after a week or so. This dragged on for about 3 years. The last time I was driving her to work, leaned in to kiss her, seen a mark on her neck. I rolled out, she was fine with that. I met someone else, she lost her damn mind. Ended up being committed, finally settled down with the last guy she cheated with, was diagnosed with breast cancer and died at 33.
Fortunately for her, he is a great dude. He took care of her and stayed by her side through all of that hell. He still maintains an active role in my daughterās life and he doesnāt have to do that. Sheās there now actually. Sheās been there for a couple weeks.
I learned that I have control over nothing. Every aspect of my life is one moment away from pure chaos and destruction, so Iām thankful for what I have while I have it. Nothing is promised, nothing is permanent. I find meaning and comfort in exactly this moment and Iām ok with that. When the hard times come, I will survive them until I eventually donāt. That is reality for all of us, Iām not special, and anyone who finds me special will find me special for a time. Believe it or not, I have peace.
Sorry for all involved. But yeah, we all justā¦ Exist. We choose to make meaning for ourselves, if we want to.
Itās crazy. She was my meaning for so long. I started seeing her wish she was 14 (lied and said she was 15) and I was just about to turn 18. The final split happened when she was 30 and I was 34.
Itās funny. She told me she was moving in with me when she turned 18. She did. She packed her bags and came to stay. About 3 days in I got a call at work, āIf you donāt bring my daughter home, you and your roommate are going to jail.ā I stupidly replied, āWell, sheās 18 so you can kiss my ass.ā Her mother was abusive as hell, or so she said. The girl couldnāt tell the truth, seriously. I learned to take everything she said with a grain of salt and loved her any way. Everywhere she went she had some big story though. Anyway, I hung up the phone and less than a minute later it rang again, āI donāt know what Miss Lie About Everything told you, but she just turned 17. Bring her home or go to jail.ā
I confronted her, āIām so sorry, I was just so into you and I knew you wouldnāt be interested if I told you the truth, and whatās one year? At this point I was too embarrassed and I didnāt know what to do. I hoped she just wouldnāt care that I was gone.ā (Which is an indicator that her stories of abuse were true).
A couple months later I had forgiven her, a year later she packed her bags and came again.
Her mom and grandma showed up and tried to get her to leave. Right to my face her mom said, āHeās worthless honey. Is this the life you want?ā Her grandma chimed in, āPlease come home. We love you so much.ā
She stayed. Nearly 15 years, not counting the time we spent close before that. I literally didnāt believe sheād ever cheat. I was special her. I meant something. I really didnāt think sheād do it.
But she did.
Somehow Iām doing better than ever despite all of that chaos. Iām with someone that I really get along with, someone who I love to go out of my way for. Itās a whole different world. I hope she never leaves, but if she does, I know Iāll make it.
Take care bud.
PromethielThereās a thin line between anguished despair and nihilistic optimism.
A thin, intentional line.
It can be alluded to, highlighted, charted, and otherwise discussed ad-infinitum, but itās damn near impossible to lead another to.
Only have one comment to read (and Iām sorry how much it cost) but it looks like youāre at peace indeed.
Kudos to you, but remember you can backslide in acceptance and working back out is okay too!
I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.
They were hating on us Gen Xers while we were still in grade school. Giving us shit for the participation ribbons, they bought and handed out to us
They invented participation ribbons and trophies, Iām almost convinced, just so they could give them to us millenials and you Xers on field day and immediately shit on us for involutarily receiving them in fucking kindergarten.
Letās normalise calling boomers the participation trophy generation
Is the circle even real? Some of the nicest people Iāve interacted with in my entire life were Baby Boomers. Iāve met shittier Gen Xers and Millennials than Baby Boomers.
Itās all bullshit, just generated for people to hate someone other then the ones they should be.
OpenStarsSharing skibidi toilet with everyone across the Fediverse - Iāve been doing my part! :-P (few have ever heard of it, even fewer like it, none understand it -> itās perfect art!:-D)
The zoomers are calling us cringe
It's true, we're so lame
We did come out of the womb with dad jokes
Yeah stop being mean to me
Weird sfm is nothing new tbh
Tlaloc_TemporalOne particular SFM being this popular is new though.
