For me, it's the drive thru-- makes the boomer kids lazy, wasting gas, environmently unfriendly, no thank you. I'll physically walk into the fast food lobby for reconstituted pink chicken slime as nature intended.

That those damn kids need to get off my lawn!

But for real my take is that things aren't made to last anymore and that sucks (to be fair this is also a boomer thing and can be a good introduction to explain late capitalism and it's faults to older people, if the opportunity arises)

My grandparents got married in 1950 and the toaster they were given as a wedding present still works. Grandpa replaced the cord once or twice, but that's it. They have passed on, but the toaster is still going strong at my cousin's house.

But does it connect to a shitty app that connects like half the time? Checkmate, liberals.

I should have battled my cousin for that toaster. What if someday there are only wifi connected options? I am full of regret.
