I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.
"He's old," they said, "he must be at least fifty".
I said "nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon".
They had me with "no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"
Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say “don’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went “yeah, that will not fly with my clients.”
We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.
Skip the labor pains, just give me the baby.
I just say "I don't need your whole life story" but that is kinda rude and wouldn't work well with clients lol
"Give me the clip, not the VOD." How do you do, fellow kids?
Damn...
I'm Gen Z and I feel like I'd still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy...
"Give me the Reader's Digest condensed version."
"How does what a reader eats have anything to do with this? and why would we need a condensed version of that diet description?"
oh god, I'm old.
"Give me juſt the title, not the compleate novel."
Hey kids! Anything interesting in the latest TV Guide?
Oh really? I'll have to set up my DVR to tape it, I'll be at a doctor appointment when the first episode airs...
Bro im not that old and i remember this, all the good English shows used to air new episodes at night.
Brother, if you remember that, you are old by young people standards.
I remember being ... around 10 and poking fun at my not even 40 yet dad for using a dot matrix printer and fax machine... in the late 90s or early 00's.
That's not too far from the same age gap as the TV Guide / DVR thing.
A 10 year old now would probably make fun of a person having a digital document scanner at home. What's the point? Just take a picture of the document with your 8384 megapixel smartphone.
On that note: Polaroids, film cameras, low grade digital cameras or camcorders as fairly common household items, fucking landline home phones.
Most kids born in the last 10 or 15 years would laugh at these, or the idea of them, just like I laughed at a dot matrix printer and home fax machine in the late 90s, or grandma still having a rotary phone instead of a cordless home phone.
Jesus, I don't think I've actually even thought about the last time I made a home phone call on a phone with a cord... in about a decade.
As an aside, the Target store near me carries Polaroid film and vinyl records. With everything virtual and touchscreen these days, some kids value the kinesthetic experience.
Heck, I've been cell phone-only since 2003, but I've been thinking about setting up a landline phone from my childhood with a VoIP adapter just because it has such a satisfying heft in the hand, and tactile buttons.
All Targets have them and Walmarts do too. They're not as rare as you seem to think.
What the hell? Why are you telling me what I think?
Because you said the Target by you had them like it was a rare and precious thing, jackass.
That's a reading comprehension problem, I'll wager. I said Target had it like it was a common thing.
You have problems expressing yourself plainly, I'll wager. Read your post again.
I'll be happy to leave it to anybody who reads this thread to figure out what the problem here is.
lol if that's what you want, semi-literate
I'm only 22 yet I still made a call on a rotary phone last week and used a CRT to watch some TV. My grandma's guest room tech has not been replaced since my mom moved out lol.
Hah, well, I apologize then, I overreached a bit, you're a decade younger than me... but a middle or high schooler may still describe you as 'old'.
My knees defo feel old already, so i cant fault you
I’m not a Gen Z but how about, give me the TLDR?
I'm early thirties, I say this to friends (online and irl) if they talk to much.
I like this, I’m going to tell her about this.
"Give me the Season 1 recap."
This is a good one, thanks!
I live but to serve.
About a decade ago my employer had an intern present their findings from analyzing some survey data. One of the findings was this:
"People who answer surveys are really old. Like really old. Like thirty."
Are you under the impression that newspapers are still in fashion? Feel like they're kind of right on that one.
Primary school age children are horrible at guessing age. One time when I was 16 a group of 6 year olds estimated I was 40. And I don't look old, a few weeks ago, I got carded buying beer, which is 16+. I'm 27.
